:sleep1: that's just opinion, most people cant even tell unless there side by side... both cars in my signature are swb. most wouldn't notice if they were or weren't. The difference is the swb is 8" shorter in the wheel base ie the the rear wheels are further forward. This saves some weight and sharpens up the chassis. Visually this diffrences are most obviously the extended rear quarter panel and window, the fuel filler flap in located in front and behind the rear wheel respectively and the lwb has a slightly larger buldge in the bumper making it longer again. B pillar forward both are identical, the differences behind this are mostly comestic ie panel diffrences because of the rear window angle. the actual subframe and running gear is identical. In the states tt models were all swb, where as here in the uk only one model was available lwb tt. if your building a track car then really you have to be using a swb for its sharper handling and weight loss, preferably a slicktop to further extend the differences. If you want a monster cruiser focused around b road fun and soaking up the miles that's were the lwb comes into its own.

So single 3" exit no back box just a resonator? I bet that's pretty damn load! Is it legal?

I'd love it if some one made the oem wheels but bigger. I love the design but they're sooo small. A 16" wheel on a car this size and design isn't right by today's standard.

I still recon your mafs are ducked

Star!

Take the mafs off and stick then in the warm and dry. Remove your battery and then put it back in the morning, without the mafs it it idles and revs to 3k without them, refit them and try again. If it then runs crap they are likely duff, I may be worth bypassing the selin and using one then the other to see if ones a winner. Mafs do not like the wet.

Your on the list now Steve.

It's that time of year I'm afraid. I got caught about 18 months ago, unmarked car in a layby behind a bush. Booked me as I entered a 30 from a 60 and didn't brake rather coasted on the gear. 40 in a 30. Tbh I was annoyed, I wasn't accelerating I was obviously slowing down but I was speeding, no arguing with that. They were alright because I didn't argue, I remember him saying "are you not going to deny it" I just laughed and said no we all know I did it and it's right there on the gun why bother trying to lie...£100 later and a few hours of misused stats my licence was back in my hand. Hopefully they will offer it to you. It's quite an enlightening day out, I say enlightening because you will realise It's a cash cow idea, some of the attendees offences are hilarious There isn't a typical violator, I think we had knits about every demographic in the room 50% of it is bullshit My favourite parts were the chap telling us that 30mph zone scarecrow least safe, most accidents happen here, further probing revealed yes they do but virtually none are serious, it's the a roads where your mostblikelybto suffer injury or death. Make of that what you will, what I consider danger is what's dangerous not were bumps happen. However my favourite bit was the proud exclaim action that Dorset has the safest motorways, very few accidents happen here. Funny that because we don't have any buddy.... Enjoy it, it's quality dross.

A few people commented on that, even when at 60kph it looks wrong.

I'd be up for a few sessions this summer, one booked for April more is good though.

Luck mate. I've seen a man fall nigh on 50feet onto his shoulder and head(helmet on) out cold the sound and the force and that enter nitty of pause before people got to him, I thought he was dead. A few minutes later he stood up and walked off. Conversely I've seen a girlfriend trip on a broom and shatter her arm.

Ohhhhh really, I'm dying for an opportunity to drive like a hooligan without fear of my liecense.

Too cooler plug will cause fuel fouling potentially, this can lead to excessive carbon deposits miss fires and preingniton. Basically if the combustion cycle is inadequate you could end up frying the pistons.

Odd isn't it, I was a bit if an extreme sports junkie as a teenager, plenty of bones etc and spent my fair share in A&E for myself and others. One of my friends, we joke and say he is like a cat. I've seen him land on his feet from 15 foot up and run out of it not even fall over. I've always had a good ability to just roll and get away with it most of the time, unless something got in my way or landed on me. Another friend rarely crashed but always broke bones, one night he fell off a 10ft wall pissed as a fart I honestly thought he was going to be a mess with his history and the slap he made, turnt out he was fine just a little bruised and well even drunker than I thought lol.

I don't really understand how force is transferred through the pedal. The impact load is applied through the shell, the brake pedal receives the same load as the rest of the car. In theory at least. I'd be interested to learn how that works, I suspect it's possibly the opposite. The force of you suddenly stopping is the cause, ie foot on brake you slide forward before the belt catches combined with the firewall moving toward you. Very fast jarring action causes fractures doesn't it. All accidents are best when your loose, that's how drunk or unconscious people often come out unscathed when a sober person gets servely hurt. In practice it is virtually impossible to choose to do anything, it's the subconscious that allows us to make these reactions. Think how long it takes to teach yourself not to brake when a car goes sideways, it's only once this becomes rote that it becomes reflex and subconscious. Ie useful.

Doesn't sound like a golf, doesn't go like a golf still looks like a golf though...lol at the comments on the vid, "imagine it was in a lighter car like a mk1" I lol at this for two reasons. Firstly the lack of imagination and golf bummage, yes mk1s are light but imagine putting it in something that looked nice and only weighed what a mk 1 does..there's an idea. Secondly the thing only weighs 1100kg that's a paper weight! It already struggles to get traction even with its 4wd layout, I bet it's useless on track and with such a low weight compared to its bhp figures traction will always be an issue as it will quickly hit the maximum amount of grip. Bloody golfs.

Yes yes and yes.

Sorted :)

A positive move, congrats Si.

Yeah il sort it when I get in from work

Sounds good to me, be prepared though manual conversions are pretty time consuming. It's not that it's difficult or complex Theres just a fair bit of hoofing about to do.

Tbh NSX's are overpriced in general, they cost sooo much more than their counterparts. I know I know it's this that the other, but it's still a damn honda. So one owned by such a high profile person, someone involved in Motorsport and in the development of the car itself I'm surprised it's not twice that money.

Yup lol the titanic was made out of steel and look what happened to that pos lol.

Wonderful your added :D
