Hicas
the main problem is you try to correct something that isnt happening, hicas does its thing and you think the back end is stepping out so oops you go to correct it and it wasnt happening in the first place, takes trust and familiarity in the system to not do this but there are times when i get that feeling from the back of the car and i poop myself,then I stop the correction as i realise its hicas, this is why people remove it as you need to know when you get that feeling it is the rear of the car giving you a message

F***ing BMW drivers
Ok we know that beemer drivers can be a twats at times but today I got another example of bmw idiocy, so im driving towards penzance on the a30 country road section doing 40 as its wet, when a beemer ( 330ci ) pulls right across me from the left from a junction forcing me to brake hard as he pulls in front of me, then he decides to pick up his speed very slowly and then races off into the sunset to piss me off, wonderfully I meet up with him again at the next roundabout which leads onto a dual carriageway, he does his slow as feck routine again all the way round the roundabout and on the exit nails it, I know I shouldnt of but I quickly high boost and decided to teach him a lesson ( being carefull as its wet) so kept up with him as he nailed it floored it as soon as I could and left him for dead, this is where i did my twat thing, I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine and slowed right down but he decided to give up on it and wouldnt catch me up....childish i know, for every normal beemer driver there seems to be 2 arses

thx for the name and shame bud, sorry for your hassle tho

a few general questions
big discussion on fmic or smic, general concensus is up to 500hp use upgraded side mount, above that fmic, or fmic if you want to pose

Hicas - What ??
when you feel it in the seat of your pants you will first of all think its the rear of the car starting to break away, you have to come to trust it, but then when the rear of your car starts to break away you have trained yourself to think its hicas and then its funny

crome paint on headlights
did mine but didnt laquer them, the paint has cracked and has water runs in it, i believe this was caused by parking in the sun and condensation forming and then cooking off in the heat, need to do mine again

Which colour car is fastest - lets clear this up
red is faster ....fact light travels the same speed through a vacuum at all wavelengths, but when we send the light through something other than a vacuum, like glass we see that light bends/slows, this is seen through snells law below n1*sin(theta1) = n2*sin(theta2) the part in the equation n1 & n2 are called the index of refraction, it is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in that substance, so an index of refraction of 1 means that you are in a vacuum b/c the speed of light travels the same speed it would in a vacuum But if you send light through water, water has an index of refraction and light slows down. The process of light slowing down bends the angle at which the direct ray of light travels, so the MORE light slows down the MORE it bends, now say you have a drop of water suspended in a vacuum above your head, white light(which is composed of all frequencies of visible light) hits this clear drop of water and is slowed down and bends, but the different frequencies of light that compose the white light bend different amounts(this amount is small but visible from a distance) the lower frequency light is less affected by the drop of water as it has a longer wavelength and oscillates a lesser amount of times through the distance of the water drop, the higher frequency light ocsillates many times through the same water drop and is slowed down more because of it so it bends more. This process is called diffraction and causes the spectrum of colors in white light to diffract when sent through matter. The blue light(higher frequency) is bent more and the red light is bend less and through this distance of bending is a gradient of light that we call a rainbow. So to answer your question, the speed of light is the same for all frequencies in a vacuum BUT when you send light through matter is slows down a certain amount, red light (lower frequency) travels faster than blue light (higher frequency).

Manual boost control valve
these are fine on single turbo applications but i have always questioned there output ability when you split the feed into 2 via a y piece , just not accurate enough IMO
