Yeah smart roadster, yuk. I always think, thats a uncool car, when I see them. It's one of those cars people say "oh yeah, I've got a little 2 seater sports car" trying to make out they have a TVR or some sort, when you finally get it out of them it's an MX5.

Or you could, soften up the suspension. Change the spring rate soften the dampers, not expensive, new springs are about £30 a corner. Get an extra back box welded in the exhaust to quieten it down and realise that if you use it chips happen.

There certainly is, you just need more grip to take advantage of the ratio change tbh. I can't afford to have several sets of wheels with different tyres on etc so for me it's a happy compromise. Because it's not a drag car or a circuit car it's all about compromise, something I can play with on the road and is able to have fun at the track whatever discipline I choose to throw at it, it won't be best at anything but it will be fun, that's what it's there for after all. I've got a shelf full if half finished projects ATM need to concentrate really.

Lol, il give you a text when I'm on the 34 and lay up in a lay by till you catch up.

EVERY time I use it lol. It's a toy I don't take it out to roll along I straight lines at one speed :D plus the intention is to use it off the highway a bit once phase two is complete.

You will be coming the opposite way to join the a34 won't you? I might, see you on the road.

That's correct Scott. :D

And that's why I've kept my TT ratio

Cheers Noel, bit cautious of China turbochargers. Been looking at gt2560r off an s15 which are about £600 a side which is still quite expensive.

Approx half 8 at Cherwell valley services please guys. Just off the M40 Address etc here; http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Map:Cherwell_Valley We can then leave about 9 to arrive at about 10 at our final destination. Is there any interest in meeting SC members pre this say in the M27 or M3?

Il be at Coventry. We've met, nick.

What are they Noel?

Nicely done Steve, nicely done.

I was on Monday, won't be back down there this week.

To touch on this and bring into it a recent topic and comment. When discussing the lowering of the speed limit on the M1 we got into the idea of raising the limit to 80mph on motorways. One of the reasons it was dropped was because "it would alienate women drivers", let's explore this sentiment, what were saying here is that to be fair to women we shouldn't drive too fast as it's unfair. That is both stupid and sexist! It's a perfect example of how political correctness tries so hard, it tries too hard and it itself becomes predujuice. What I'm saying here is over thinking these things, make a big deal of the little things is worse than letting them slide sometimes. A word is mearly a mearly a word, it's context and intent that gives it weight. In short a joke is a joke, and if no ones offended it is simply a joke. If you are offended by a joke maybe you need to step back and think just as much as the person who made the joke, was it a joke? Was it funny? Was any harm meant? Life is short, humour is king sometimes we don't need to be so serious. If someone is over the line a simple, your over the line there buddy is enough to reflect it and spur an apology. Chill your a long time dead, there's proper issues in the world to worry about, bad jokes arnt one if them.

The transit idea really is the best option mate. Even if you are within the law it's not worth the aggro, a lot of coppers will drag you into the police station or court before discussing actual law, the sentence "if you disagree you can always contest and go to court" is a favourite as they know no one wants to do that. For the peace of mind and saved fuel it's worth spend a few extra beans on the hire van.

If you had enough fluid in there to make it miss it would steam like a powerstation, also much more and you would likely hydrolock the motor and bend the rods. Also you would probably have contaminated oil, as it seeps through and gets in the oil.

You could always rent one of those fat bed style transits the gypos use for well lots of things for about £60 and then no worries. Save fuel as well.

No no I sorta agree. Cut it up and see what you've got, you can bodge it up quite happily as long as it gets through the mot. The skirt will cover up the abortion style repair. Then when funds allow you can get it cut right back and sorted properly. The summer is sortand the winter long.

Edited as per request.

His car I Spose, you ain't gotta look at it lol. It's like when your mate married at a fat chick, it's not col but if he's hoy well you don't have to watch. Look on the bright side at least it's A. Comprehensible B. Not pink.

Heating doesn't change it's ability to rust that bull crap, that's a rumour due to people with poor welding skills contaminating the weld and it rusting quicker than the rest. Heat changes metals properties for strength or malubility etc. Otherwise everything in the word would fall apart after "2 years" I know of some steel vessels I work on that were built in 1930 and are full if pressurised water, they are welded and not falling apart. Not only do side skirts hide rot them seem to encourage the bloody stuff. Time to break out the grinder and make a deal with a welder or learn.

"Entry into the Beaulieu Parkland with your Japanese vehicle is from 9.30am – the Brabazon Restaurant will be open for bacon rolls, cakes, teas and coffees." So the 9am meeting at Applemore seems bob on.

I haven't no I didn't really know were to start, it blows out the demister vent only. I've never know it to blow out any other vent.

I don't think he cares lol.
