JustGav Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 -Can a conversion be done to make your car a convertible??? , No, not unless you want your car to fold in half... -Seems when i try to kick down the throtle...it doesnt kick down properly (feels like a delay sometimes) what would be the fault? There is a short delay, however nothing too long, it also depends on what rev's you are running at the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 You sound a little chavvy - without being too harsh or anything. This is actually a car enthusiasts club whereby people a) take care of their cars and b) don't drive at stupid speeds and "Go Banannas". You seem to want to cut your car in half and nail the hell out of it around town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Have you told JamieP this greg? JamieP is different as we all know Nick. He's a kind of hybrid lunatic/experienced driver with a 'little' common sense. Not some nut case with a RWD car who doesn't sound all there when he wrote the first post. In answer to your question though, No, you tell him !!!! (He's bigger than me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Dont pay £2200 insurance to drive slow LoL Thats probably why your insurance is double mine then. I'm 24 with 1 years no claims DO NOT pass go, DO NOT collect £100. Go strait to jail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point is most people, and I say MOST, not all, use track days to put down the power and unleash the beast. There's plenty of them - look at the forthcoming RAF Marham Day and Donington ones planned. It's not a case of driving below 100mph mate, but more a case of putting the power on hold and only using it when necessary which is pretty much never on UK Roads. Is this the first RWD car you've owned? It is for me despite driving BMWs a lot etc as rental/parents cars. I span mine out within a month and I'm just hoping you don't do the same that's all. FYI I was doing about 30-35mph when it span out too - not very fast. (No you're a shit driver comments lads!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
