Nice! I wonder what they look like on the M3. Any pics? You didn't fancy some CSL wheels then? To keep it more OE looking, I mean. I think that's what I'm gonna do.

Define "lack on the fuel department" Kyle? A single pump and good fuel injectors is all that is necessary at the kind of power levels we're talking about here. Why waste money/effort/time on useless fuel rails, lines,multi-pump setups, etc that just aren't required?

What wheels have you gone for on your M3 then?

So that's 40% drivetrain losses? If that's right it means that a 280bhp Scooby is only putting down a pathetic 170bhp at the wheels - where it really counts!

I do hope you aren't fitting a 7½" wide wheel on a road going Supra!

My Mrs bought me this GH2 thing at christmas. The first thing I said was "Did you keep the receipt?" I really didn't fancy it at all. But I have to say that it's surprisingly good fun. I have to play it with the curtains drawn though. I'd die of embarrassment if somebody walking past the house saw me playing it. It must look very odd; a 42 year old fat bloke prancing round with a small toy guitar!

I didn't want money back though, I just wanted to transfer my insurance over to a less powerful and totally unmodified car. Sky just treated it as an opportunity to get another year's business out of me and one that they could charge top dollar for.

Yeah, loads. I haven't made an insurance claim since the 1980s. I've also got a spotless licence and I'm in my forties. My insurance should be about 50p if you ask me. But that's all by the bye, I'm not complaining about the price of insurance - it's the dodgy business practise that Sky are indulging in that this thread is about.

My 500 bhp VVTi single Supra was insured fully comp with Sky for £966 - all mods (and there a lot) declared, of course. I've got an M3 now, so I rang Sky to switch the insurance over to the M3 for the remaining 2½ months of my policy. However I was told by the young lady at Sky that the company I was currently insured with (on a 500bhp highly modified Supra) wouldn't touch me for insurance on a bog standard M3. How does that work then? But it's not all bad news, she said. They can refund me £120 for the remaining 2½ months and use that against a new policy for the M3 with another company. Hmmm, that would be alright I guess. How much? £780 ! Less the £120 "refund" though so that's "only" £660, she said. I told her that I can get it loads cheaper than £780 and that I'd already had a quote from another company for £620. "Well £780 is the best we can do for you" "I'll just take the £120 refund then please" "Ah, that's only if you're taking out a new policy with us. You just lose that if you go elsewhere" Funny how they can only manage to give a really uncompetitive quote when they think they've got you by the balls due the BS "refund" you're getting. Not impressed. Is this sharp practice common when changing cover between cars mid-policy? Surely they don't all try to shaft their customers like this, do they?

IIRC it's only for cars made before 01-01-1973

Oh God, not again.

Since the MKII Mini Cooper S came out in 2007 they've been turbo rather than supercharged. =op

You'll be more pi55ed when you get your infraction points.

He said the John Cooper Works Mini is, and he's right.

Horrible job. Might as well pull the engine out and have done with it.

You really don't have a clue, do you.

Ah, I invoke Godwin's Law - you lose. Thanks for playing.

What is your degree in then, Carl? He didn't get his monies worth. Perhaps he should have paid a little more.

MSB has always stood for Monkey Shit Brown. IIRC Alex made up a backronym for MSB, ie he came up with a more flattering three word title that MSB allegedly stood for. Mainly because he owned a Supe that colour of course.

Huh?

Couldn't have been T11FC as it's not a legit combo. Anything T11 would have three chars after the numbers.

You went to university? Which one?

We also have one of those and frankly it's sh1t. I really want to replace it with something different so I'll be watching this thread for recommendations.

Rigid body = monocoque chassis.
