Sorry to hear dude, take it easy and just spend lots of time with your family. Celebrate your fathers life @ Xmas and talk about all the good things he did and the good times you had. :duffer: Here's to the late Mr Clarkey.

LOL

Ah well, I have a french bit of shit as my runarround, good forum for spare parts, but some of the stuff on there is funny......

ROFL I have been pissing myself over this the past 15 mins now, also a packet of crips and a passport under them wtf?

Sorry guys but this is too funny read it through lol.... http://www.saxosportsclub.com/forum/SEURLF/ASP/SFS/THREADID.267718/FORUMID.1/PAGE.0/SFE/posts.htm A bit rude so dont view if youve got yur kids around or people in general that may get offended, but I have been pissing myself laughing at this for the past 10 mins

4 motion is a lower spec of the R32, with diff crank and pistons. But they DO do a V5

Yeh, new one is a V5, its crap, it's a 2.3 lump 5 cylinder 20v. Bout 160ish hp and 180lb

P.S the build quality is shit on the paxo, and the interior is one of the worst i've seen, and if you rag it, it eats petrol for some reason (did around 38 to a tenner the other day), sensible though and it will see over 340 miles on 35 squid. Still a great little runaround though :)

Yes it's pretty funny, most people are suprised with this little car. It's mostly down to all of the boy racers buying VTR's and racing them around like they are formula one cars when they only have about 88hp or something like that. I have seen hundreds of Saxo's in swindon, all kitted up, and none of them have been the VTS, only the lower power VTR. Apparantly the reason is because the VTR is group7 whilst the VTS is a group 14 so most first timers cant afford to insure it. It is exactly the same looking car, same wheels and everything, the only difference is a little 16v badge on the rear quaters and the VTS on the bump strip instead of the VTR, although you can also get an 8v VTS too. It's completly standard also, with girly trimmed seats and very high off the ground, so it makes it even more funny. I actually had a run in with a golf gti turbo the other day, and I cained him to 100. What was more funny, he had massive alloys all the usual crap on it, big exhaust, blow off valve, stickers all over the place and his mate in the car. Stereo blasting. He was redlining it in gear changes too because it was popping on the limiter. There I was in my little girly shopping trolly, completly silent and sitting about 6 feet off of the floor and I totally killed him. At the lights when he caught me up he exclaimed out the window that my car can not possibly be standard, I just laughed ;)

Cheers :) This is the little shit; http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/data.aspx?model_id=127&id=13058 Weighs about as much as my foreskin.

I guess so. I think a lot of people do get blinded by power and torque of cars, and book times to 60 and 100 etc. At the end of the day, even a car like my runaround which is 0-60 is just over 7 seconds could easily give a stock Z a run for it's money. The difference between 6 seconds to 60 and 7.2 or 7.6 whatever it is, is not a lot on the road. I used to think anything over 7 second teritory was slow, but how much really is a couple of seconds when on a normal road? not a lot, a better gear change than someone, or starting off in a better gear, getting your foot down even 2 seconds before someone else, it all adds up, anything can shave a second or two off. I know I have had some fun thrashing my little DD against some bigger cars, purely because I go for it, and they are too relaxed / suprised that by the time they really get their ass in gear, I'm already off! I think 0-60 shed loads of HP and Torque are good at the track when you both have an equal chance and indicator to go by, but dirving around is totally diff. I guess what i'm trying to say is, if one person has more will than the other and is that little bit sharper (because the other person is so caught up in the fact they have 400p or whatever under their bonnet), the smaller car can keep up with substanially bigger cars (obviously providing it is a sporty-ish hatch or something not a fiat panda lol!). I guess also, lets not loose site that this wasn't a propper Z that was racing him ;)

V5's are a little diff to normal four motion as said, they are not that quick, and are pretty lardy (for a golf that is having owned mk1 and mk2's). You've got to take into account the golf already had a massive head start if he was already flat out going past the Z when he booted it. If I was flat out in my (cough) VTS and a 350z started flooring it only after I was already flat out in the power passing him he would have troubles catching me up and passing me (say upto a ton) as I would already have a massive head start. I think most of us have been in a similar situation, you have someone trying to race you, you don't bother, then decide when they come flying past to give it some beans, the results usualy arn't that impressive, even with over 300hp trying to find their way to the rear wheels.......

Pilau rice is the *****x too, and popadoms with some fresh mango chutney and a stone backed naan :D

Bhoona for them mild evening or a nice vindaloo to clear out a cold

I could throw in a used pair of socks or a bottle of lager and a pack of half eaten pork scratchings if it's of any use?

Yup DFP is the nuts no matter how hard me and my mates have hammered that on my driving machine and you wouldnt beleive how hard we have hammered it (to the point where the grease inside smells like it is burning and the case is red hot) it still wont die :) awesome piece of kit.

I've got one of them new logitech pro ones. Think someone else started a thread about racing games or machines or something? I lost a ridgeracer 2 sit down machine on E-bay so decided I would build my own out of old car bits, a bucket seat, a large TV, a large sound system and a ps2. Best toy I've ever had! Does the full 2.5 turns to lock, has the gear channge etc and an awesome feedback. My next plan is to use hydraulics to tilt the seat once I've welded up the frame (if I ever get round to it!). :D

Nowt wrong with taking a perve at a nice set of tits, or pins, or ass, or..or..or.......... right i'm off be back in a couple of hours lol :)

Saw it too, Kylie all the way! :D

Check if they are leaking. I had a MS go, the two pistons inside (well metal bits with springs lol) were all rotted and cacked up. Also the seals that comes with the kit you can buy (for about 30-40 IIRC from Mike F) were worn. If you remove the MS and replace you will need to also buy a pack of washers for the resevoir, these don't come with the kit and you should defo replace them and not re-use. I't could also be looking near where it joins the booster, you'll soon tell as the black paint will have been stripped off and it could look a little rotten underneath / tarnished, where the fluid has been seeping. Other posibility is a leak on the line going to the nipple on the callipers or they just need bleeding, but unlikely unless you have changed something on the brakes recently, or the fluid is shot, again unlikely to cause that. If in doubt though and your not sure, get a garage to check it out! Cheers!

I had great concentration, was focusing very hard on them tits :D

Lol, I made my own driving machine. Used a PS2, 30" TV, bucket seat, nice solid framework, decorated with anime stuff on the case I made and a nice neon sign, has a sub built into the case with satalite speakers. For the wheel I used a Logitech pro (the new one with gear change) and pedals. Fixed it all in. It's awesome, one of the best things I ever made, highly adictive and all built from stuff I had lying around (apart from the neon sign, and got the bucket from a scrappies for a tenner including subframe!!!! oh I guess the logitech was nearly 80.00 too, so all in about 100). Great fun, have to post some pics if I ever find my camera!!!

Sound sweet, will have to get some when im off these bloody tablets!!!!

Get in, good old bit of bulley, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA N 1

Who's Lal, and what did he have to do with your money?
