Joining the euro?

Soz 4 ranting, this is mildly amusing, doing the rounds on email

 

Government Announcement

 

A Downing Street spokesman has confirmed that in order to meet the conditions for joining the Euro the phrase 'spending a penny' is not to be used after the 31st of December 2001. From this date the correct terminology will be 'euronating'.

I suppose then we can all get hold of fiat 500's and drive them into the crusher and get 10 euros ?

Well, if you are gonna be like that, fiat 500 regularly sell for the same price as zx's, hehe and are a bit rarer.

 

Sorry, I do like zx's, not elitist people

Ok lets get this right. A fiat 500 of same year as 300zxtt will sell for the same price? Are you smoking Your grans Pads or soething?

No a considerably older fiat 500, CONSIDERABLY older. I take offence at remarks like that as well, are you logging on from school? What year are you in now?

Hope you get thru the S.A.T's ok.

Muwhahahahaha heres a schoolkid having a go at me, he he he, make your facts stright and then maby you would get your answer you need,

 

Besides since they still sell them in italy , i somehow doubt they are classics.

Dickhead, go back to the corsa forum

Now now Warren, this isn't the Soup Dragons forum you know! Shame on you...LOL! All are welcome on here whether they like Fiat 500's or not...now apologise to Ay like a good lad. GO ON!!!!

 

GeeZer, you ain't gonna pass any exams in English are you? Not with grammer as bad as yours...ROFL!

 

Anyway, I can't take the piss out of WaZZa anymore...as he's in charge of getting me some BlitZ lowering springs! Does this mean I can't take this piss outta you big guy until sometime in November then? You've pre-empted this whole sharade haven't you? LMAO!

 

Tim

;-)

He he he timmy at the rate im going ill be sitting on the border of Afhganistan Trying not to have my religion changed to Muslim, by the time November comes.

If you want you can still make jokes of my Exhaust, which let me tell you could swallo an entire fiat 500 in one go biggrin.gif

Oooh, thats good, but if you see another car with such a big exhaust pipe then I'll bet you laugh at them and call them a wanker?

Whats the specs for the exhaust? I bet the tail pipes are about twice the diameter of the rest of the pipe, thats makes fuck all use now doesnt it?! 2.5 dia pipes and 5 inch tails hahaha, May as well just get a peco big bore WOW

Yes the voice of reason, thank you, I just tried to make an amusing post, but people must take the piss, I shall not post on this forum again.

See Ya

Oh please tell me you wont post again, please please please please please, oh and what would you know about exhaust performance, you own ...... nothing sorry i frgot, your still in school wiht no license..

hahaha, I own a Mitsubishi RS 450, that is why I cannot afford to own a zx, cos I wouldnt sell my Mistubishi to own a zx, I love it too much. I know enough about exhaust design thanks very much, obviously HKS and company dont know enough, cos what is the point in putting on larger tail pipes than the rest of the exhaust diameter, hmmm, Max Power style methinks.

Eat my dust you straight line suckers. Oops I forgot, I could woop your ass in a straight line as well.

 

See ya

Pardon me for seeming ignorant...but what's an RS450? A motorbike? Got a pic?

Oh come on, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI RS 450, order the car and with it also order the 450 tune up package by Ralliart.

450 bhp

400+ lb/ft torque

Variable boost, safe up to 2.3 bar though.

Factory fitted anti lag system

0-60 in 3.8

0-100 in 8.8 (not quite achieved these figures yet).

And you didnt know about this?

Granted the gearbox i have in is quite short ratios, but who wants to go more than 130, I could get a gearbox that would see me further up the MPH numbers, but I dont need it, cos Im happy dmolishing stuff up to 100, and 100 is a stupid speed to go on the roads, anyone who does that doesnt deserve to drive, I keep mine to the track.

 

[edit - I do have pics, just no scanner, im sure you could dig some up]

Kerching! REZPECT geeZer, NICE car!!!

 

During a brief moment that I was on ANOTHER forum I read a post from one of the guys on there. He was out with his mate in his EVO and spied some guy on an R1...giving it LARGE! Went flying past him at 152mph...now that's what I call sport...LMAO!

 

Forget 911's, you can cain an R1 you're doing alright.

Muwhahahahahaha, i thaught you werent going to post.

Id like to see your mitsubishi with a pic of you sitting in it if you dont mind.

And explain to me how you know the diametre of my exhaust as you havent seen it, and if HKS dont know what they are on about then why are they so reputable?

 

Oh and tell us about the gear ratios in that evo 450 cause they have a rather special setup, and if you dont mind me asking whats the top speed, and what is the little red button on the steering for?

...and my Dad's bigger than your Dad...neerrrrr!!! ROFL!

Hi,

I know HKS are reputable, very good company indeed, I thought we were just giving sly digs at each other.

Gear setup, nothing rather special, just a homologated dog engagement low ratio setup (cos its for rallying) strengthened of course.

Little red button on steering wheel? Maybe someone decided to put the Anti-lag switch there, maybe the horn, its a steering wheel after all, I obviously dont have the same one.

Top speed isnt that high, I havent took it for a top speed run, 3700rpm equates to around 75mph (the fastest I would go on a motorway), and on track I tend to keep my eyes on the black stuff smile.gif 8000rpm limit, so if I took it to that then it would be going quite fast.

I still have no scanner.

See ya

ne1 here got a problem with school kids? Im a school kid, do I go ranting and raving about fiats ffs. If u like evos so much why dont u post on a evo board onstead of slagging off Z owners?

Bloody hell! We're doing it on here to other people now...thought that we were above all this...LMAO!

 

This is the kinda treatment I got on the Soup Dragons forum/BBS, are we all that posessive about our forums that we savage new comers for saying a couple of things outta place?

 

Fuck it! Jap car forums are like the Middle East aren't they? Let's all issue Jihad against one another then have a big war at Billing next year...ROFL! That'll give that twat with the tannoy something worth while to broadcast about...ha ha haaaaa!

I have no problems with school kids at all, I was merely just regressing back to school when *everybody* had petty fights and picked on people for no reason. It is a generalisation which everybody uses when someone is acting childish, that is all.

I think zx's are an excellent car so I often visit this bbs, its just that some owners insist on starting 'handbag' sessions, which I will always rise to, all these things are said in jest, but I do stand by my principle of not slagging other cars off for no reason, just cos the owner of the car cannot afford/may not like/may not justify owning such powerful engined cars with (relatively) high insurance, (relatively) high running costs, high fuel bills etc.

Exceptions are boy racer crews who insist on driving like knobs all them time. Some are OK, and take a lot of pride in their cars and drive *sensibly* on the road, a lot of them dont.

Don't forget, I posted this up for some light amusement.

smile.gif

...and I have taken any comments in jest also my friend...some people are just born Pit Bulls I suppose.

 

I was gonna go and have a nosey on the lexusclub forum last night, some guy off there, his Mrs. is after a 200sx so she'd been posting on the 200sx forum. Right laugh, those guyZ were hungry for it! Until her boyfriend posted about his 170mph TT Soarer...LMAO! Wind-up maybe, but bloody good laugh watching them young whipper snappers gettin' sucked in by it!!!

 

Best bit for me was when he told them that his car made light work of Twin Turbo Supras...made my day that! Don't ask why? Complicated!!! LMFAO!

Ahhhhh all in good humor lol.

The only thing wrong with my exhaust si its not big enough. biggrin.gif

AY,

 

Could of questions on the Mitsi :

 

1) How does the anti-lag system work ? Sounds interesting.

 

2) Is it actually the gearbox which is low ratio or the final drive ratio ?

 

3) You mentioned a top speed of 130 mph and that the car does 75 mph at 3,700 rpm with a 8,000 rpm limit at which you tend not to look at the speedo. My calcs would suggest this leading to a top speed in the order of 160 mph rather than 130 mph. I thought that rally bred cars were geared to pull to the red line in top gear - doesn't this suggest that there is insufficient power or, alternatively, that the gear ratios are not low enough ?
