I can't imagine that's the thinking; the 17" wheel car will come with smaller brakes.
-
That site also suggests that there will be two 4 cylinder variants and only the top spec getting a straight 6.
-
8HP51 box as well. Suggests it's designed for an absolute maximum of 510hp.
-
I'll believe that when I see it. Varying your final drive essentially gives you another set of gears, so I don't really see the logic in having 8 speeds and a variable final drive. It probably means the e-motor varies the locking/speed for each rear wheel.
-
Call Lee yourself; they aren't using a Syvecs for the ISF, they are using a MOTEC.
-
I've not seen anything about the ratio of the diff being variable, only the locking settings.
-
The SRD 8 speed will require a Motec unit as well, not a Syvecs.
-
I'll worry about that when I actually see some police about. I have friends in the police and I know full well how badly the funding cuts are hitting them. I wouldn't even question getting points and a fine if they went and enforced the "keep left unless overtaking" rules.
-
I've given up respecting the "don't pass on the left" rule. The amount of times where some cock has been doing 67mph in lane two and someone else is enforcing 70 in the outside lane, but the inside lane is entirely clear for half a mile has completely dissolved my respect for the highway code.
-
Does this include the throttle cable?
-
This is not true enough to count on. The ones on the M1 in Northamptonshire are on when there is no speed limit on the sign, it's the same for the old style overhead ones on the M25 out towards Leatherhead. I've seen them go off on many occasions. I think it's only at certain times of day though, I've previously gone through them at night and not had a single one flash me.

for sale Gauging interest..Rota GTR-D wheels & tyres.

I wouldn't call them light. When I was changing tyres I was quite surprised how heavy they were. I'm not convinced they are mag alloy, would love to see something to back that up. -

Preferably photos on the car. Are these quite light? Or significantly lighter than the TTE borbet staggered wheels? -
It will probably drop again soon. I've picked up another 12 ETH since it dipped below 200 bucks.
-
I've written myself a spreadsheet that keeps track of the ETH to ERC20 token value ratio and trade x% based on the shift, taking profits when it exceeds a certain value (or buying when it drops a certain value). It's a lot of effort doing the reading as to why things have changed, but the spreadsheet saves me a lot of time when it comes to picking which pairs to buy and sell on any given day. I've had a few disasters, but my portfolio for day trading is sufficiently diverse that I've got a very healthy overall profit.
-
How many of you day trade, just out of interest? I set aside a few grand to day trade with out of my December profits and I've made a good couple of grand swapping alts for ETH and back. - - - Updated - - - There are countless examples of financial idiocy on reddit, it baffles me that these people made it to adult life without ending up on the street.

If you put yourself in the position where you could be financially ruined by the highest risk investment around, you deserve it for being that stupid with your money. It's never been a secret that crypto is high risk, high reward. I think the next week or two is going to be interesting, I'm moving money back in at this point.
-
I just don't understand how anyone could have thought a giant ramp up and ATH was the right time to buy. Every time that's happened in crypto, it's crashed and found a new (higher) base level. I went over 20x gains on some coins and knew my exit point for everything. I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for anyone who bought in January, the writing was on the wall and anyone who spent more than they could afford to lose only has themselves to blame.
-
Am I the only one massively up in the last 12 months? I sold so much stuff at the end of the year last year.
-
I've just put another grand into Ethereum. Probably going to chuck another 500 quid at chain link on pay day.
-
Tax in this country is beyond oppressive.
-
Having read that, I'm quietly confident that the MKV is going to be the monster we all hope it is.
-
Why is that good? Iron is heavier than alloy and will significantly impact the handling.
-
Whoever told you that was an idiot.

Depends on your gearbox choice. What are your future plans for the car? If you're planning on going turbo eventually, a W58 would be a bad choice (for example). - - - Updated - - - Depends on your gearbox choice. What are your future plans for the car?
