Red bulbs?

Working...........again!!

Maybe he should get together with the BI man! :eek: :x:

Like mine.............CLASS! Except the SWB bit.

Have you got life insurance?

Has he detailed what the "contaminants" are?

Sgt C.

Congrats Si. New job and a new Zed! (lucky b@rstard!)

Black Zed on M6, south of Knutsford, about 7:45pm. It was sitting on the hard-shoulder with an RAC van behind it. :eek:

Black Zed on the A50 around 6:45pm this evening heading East.

'Aint that much choice TBH. LOL. You obviously typed quicker than me too.

C&S Woods in Astley is probably your best bet. A few of the guys around here have used them and would recommend them.

Ok then. Wouldn't want you to be on your own Pete.

:shock: :confused:

Bye then! ;)

Looks very nice Si. :cool: Do you still have a massive grin on yer face after driving it??

Nice going mate. This sh1t seems to be the norm on Ebay now. Overcharging on the P&P to cover their Ebay and PayPal charges, and to make a bit more profit!!

See you at the Manor on the 8th then?

OMG......Take it away, take it away!! For the love of god, TAKE IT AWAY.......

Fecker! :tongue: How's the sewing machine running then? Did it pass the MOT?

I've tried that one. It didn't work for me.

Out of those two, definately the PCMCIA card. USB > Serial convertors can be very flakey. Especially cheap ones. I use a PCMCIA > Serial card at work. Never fails. (Mind you, it costs about £100 squid!! :eek: )

How many cars you got?!

Hope you're not 'dissing' NA's Si? ;)

He didnt absolutely crucify me. Story: Sat behind him in some traffic at the lights before it goes from 1 lane into 2. We both know we are both going to boot it but hes a slick one and does the old slowly coast up in 1st gear, get the turbos spinning ready for a boot. Im at a disadvantage not knowing exactly when to boot so I see his back end drop and he shoots forward very impressively. I boot it and surge too but with my crap clutch I manage to miss 2nd. By the time I'm in 2nd gear and I'm going for it again hes not making any ground away from me. We both hit traffic after about 10 seconds after I've kept up with him at the same distance all the way. Analysis: The late redtops have the heavier pot type flywheel meaning once you have it spinning up and you keep the revs up, bouncing off the limiter as you change they have a magnificent amount of pull around 4k onwards which the early redtops dont have. I reckon I've lost about 100Kgs from my lightening of my car, maybe more. I reckon I'm now closer to 7s 0-60. Checking the Nissans specs they have 275BHP but 0-60 of 6.6s so even though he had a shed load more power the heavier car took most of it away. Conclusion: Redtop SRi's dont get the respect they deserve. You think its only 150BHP and only a 2l 16v NA but they are in real terms able to beat things like RST's, GT turbos, Pug 1.9 GTi's and almost keep up with Cav turbos, Rover Ti's, Sierra Cossies etc. __________________ Various Cavalier Videos Car Projects and Work DarrenM View Public Profile Send a private message to DarrenM Send email to DarrenM Visit DarrenM's homepage!

I thought they were quicker than that (in the 5's).

These (click on the link below) look more realistic to me .... and are similar to others I've seen in autocar etc. http://www.fast-autos.net/nissan/nissan300zx.html __________________ Click here for pics of my Cavalier SRi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Andy_H : Today at 04:19 PM.

Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: WATFORD Drives: SRI16V Posts: 4,947 Age: 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SRI's are often underrated and with the longer fifth f20 they can hit a real 138mph, which is pretty impressive. I new that the later XE's had 'gearbox off' pot type clutches but never really considered the implications to performance (learn something new). I regularly keep with my friend who has a merc cosworth 205bhp, he is always amazed on how quick the sriXE is. He thought he should be able to kill it but in truth the performance is identical. When driven properly they can be a real handful to some of the 'so-called' performance cars. This is why people that have never had one will always question threads in 'i beat this'. I recently got to drive a v6 manual and found the XE felt a quicker car. The flywheel affect on the v6 is something i couldn't live with. Well done on showing the riceburner that he wasn't the only quick thing on that road. __________________ I am the clit commander! Nobody can work it like me.

The first comment there applies to the V6 imo, lots of people slate the F25 saying its slow etc etc, but drive it properly and its great. Ok so itll never be a traffic light grand prix, but get it into its "zone" and its great, lovely long 3rd gear, how many cars can do 110mph in 3rd __________________ Come the time of Revolution YOUR back will be against the wall......

The specs printed above are WAY out. The Manual and Auto TT also boast near identical performance. If it had been a TT, he could'nt of spooled the turbo's at the lights. They will only spool into positive boost under load at around 2500rpm (which would be around 20mph), and it would of resulted in the 300 horses hitting the back wheels and it snaking down the road or spinning out completely. Its also much faster on the move, than it is from the lights, so either he was coasting when you kept up or it was probably a very good chance it was the Non-turbo. (220bhp, 0-60 low 7 secs). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by ChavCav : Today at 06:13 PM.
