  1. Wrong section mate. You need to post this in the Parts Wanted section
  2. Hi, I'm not sure I understand the question. By "SC" do you mean Supercharger? If so, then no, that's not how superchargers work. TTs do not have an elec wastegate. Both turbos are the same size, there isn't a larger and smaller one. When the 2nd turbo is in use the first turbo is also still working.
  3. Cool. Jake657 is my gamertag. What car and spec/class do I need ?
  4. When are these races held? How does one join up?
  5. Some proper exhaust sealant comes in gun-able cartridges just like silicone sealant does. I doubt they actually used silicone.
  6. I didn't. I blame the people that don't have the wit to form their own opinions. It's still a bad thing about the programme though. No bullshit?
  7. Don't they all get an 'A-Star' for spelling their name right these days? Prove it!

    Sweet! You're making me jealous now. I don't usually like silver Supras but yours might be changing my mind. What TRD bits does it have fitted?
  9. Glad to see the Rohipnol is finally working for you James. Get her something really special mate. Something she can treasure for years to come. A nice photo, of me, printed onto canvas should do the trick. You can get a boob job done in Thailand for £600. She could get the other one done when it's her birthday.

    Looks nice. Not keen on the "Dear Santa..." wish list down the wing, but apart from that, very tasteful. No front indicators? Bumper modded for FMIC but none fitted?
  11. Pffft. They're rubbish. Everyone knows that. POW-ARRRRRR
  12. Mind you don't get the RROD
  13. Honestly mate, don't sweat it if the car is running right (serviced properly etc). Dynos make you paranoid. Were you happy with the car beforehand or did you think it was down on power?
  14. [Quick Google later...] You're in luck Neil! They do Quality servicing and repairs and PERFORMANCE UPGRADES http://www.f1automotive.com/index.htm [/cynical] Oooo, and they have an 'up to 250 bhp' Rolling Road!!!
  15. It means nothing then. Unless you know how much (percentage) was allowed for drivetrain loss? FWIW your figure sounds OK to me mate. If you took it somewhere else I bet it would magically improve by 10%. eg supspower's place. The place you went to, do they do tuning/servicing work?

  17. Meh. It looks a lot more ordinary without all that HDR photoshop nonsense....
  18. .... and the worst thing about TG is when people claim Clarkson's rants as their own opinion. Like all the people suddenly deciding that Audi drivers are all cocks - you never heard that generalisation before Clarkson started on about it. (Still, it took the heat off us Beemer Tossers a bit). Some chap on PH said he wouldn't have a Chrysler Crossfire because he though it "looked like a dog having a poo" - exactly what JC said in his review of the Crossfire. And the other people that will tell you how the new shape Civic Type R is rubbish - even though they've never driven one. He's got far too much power that guy. He can make or break a car's sales in this country. I bet he gets some nice backh^H^H^H^H^H errr hospitality from car companies. Nice work if you can get it. Lucky Git.
  19. Found it on YouTube, it was a Renault Avantime not a Vel Satis ... [YouTube]Ii_117eccaY[/YouTube] [YouTube]BoojW1g7D_s[/YouTube] [YouTube]55_8Cn1nsuc[/YouTube] What a load of tosh.
  20. Again though (and I'm not trying to argue with you or prove you wrong mate) I thought that one was rubbish too. It was a Renault something ('Vel Satis' or somesuch) - right? They were supposedly trying to mod the car to make it faster, weren't they? But actually the whole piece was really trying to prove that modding a car makes it slower. And the car magically suddenly had an expensive aftermarket exhaust, which was unmentioned and not allowed for in their 'strict budget'. And if I remember right didn't they put a F1 car's massive rear spoiler on the people carrier 'to make it faster' as well? It might have been fitted back to front as well, I forget now.
