  1. I miss that car like you wouldn't believe. Had an amazing six years with her. Luckily I bought something just as exciting to replace it with... and probably more expensive to run!
  2. Nope, we were actually travelling. I had a blown engine at the time and we were limping the car home... from the Nurbrugring. My mate got his first ever royal flush in Texas Hold 'em in the passenger seat on that trip. I also blew my turbo racing a brand new Ferrari California between some traffic lights in London - now that was an experience. Drifting in sixth gear on the motorway was interesting too. Got to love those R888s in the wet. You haven't lived until you've faced the crash barrier at 120mph on full lock and survived. Also, seeing a clock with 180mph on it read back around to zero and keep pulling was pretty awesome. Winning a couple of races was fun too... especially against the more agile cars like hillclimb Elises on tight circuits. Some of the drift days were fun, but I think the biggest rush came when (trying) to race bikes. Plenty of other stories... but as I said, they're not for here
  3. Probably around two hours of that was sleeping
  4. I once spent 32 hours straight in my car. Also, several other things that I can't write on here!
  5. You'll break your car if you sit still and rev the engine. It isn't built to do that. It's built to travel along and rev.
  6. I wouldn't be surprised if your BOV doesn't open when reving the engine when the car is stationary. Also, that's not a very good idea.

  8. No, it's because it's based on the AE86. Subaru will be building its own version.
  9. Also, marvel at how it's isn't called Celica, and isn't the new Supra
  10. Awful colour press pic but I don't think it's that bad. Will be nice and cheap too... and tuneable
  11. Are you referring to the DPF? That's less of a common problem than you'd think
  12. Practice 2 on now on BBC online. The new helmet cam Vettel has is absolutely amazing IMO
  13. If one is electric then it doesn't need exhaust gases does it? Hence it'll act more like a supercharger AFAIK, creating power before the boost from the exhaust turbines kick in.
  14. Having driven the Mazda Skyactiv platform with the new 2.2 twin turbodiesel this week I'm inclined to agree. That is probably the best diesel engine I've driven.
  15. Firstly, I have moved this to the correct forum for posts totally unrealted to Supras. Secondly, can you give even the slightest clue as to what you're smoking, and where I can get some?
