  1. i worked for VAG and spent alot of time at the Milton Keynes HQ a few years back, maybe thats why i have no love for them seeing everything that went wrong with them i didnt compare a 4g to a r8? your 1 series sounds like a skyline standard?
  2. Have you actually heard a C63 on full chat? If youre telling me this is a boring monotonous sound then you need your hearing checked: The first one is enough but thats 7 minutes if anyone fancies some background music yea i have heard it its just not for me i think they sound the same all the time, like there is no character to them, its the same with all german engine noises if im honest Turbo 4 cyl golf sounds meh straight 6 bmw sounds meh V8 audi sounds meh R8 V10 sounds Meh Turbo 4 cylinder wrx or evo yes Straight 6 rb or jz yea V8 Jag-f type 5.0 coyote infact most things american yes LFA v10 yes they have a character to me all the German stuff just sounds like a machine not saying there not good as engines and cars just the sounds dont appeal to me German cars don't just have any personalty to me you can give them a bit by throwing some mods on them, but then its like having friends who opens up when hes drunk, he great when hes had a few but after it he is still boring old dave
  3. well im with you on this from an mechanical point of view if a drive line takes 10Hp to turn is irrelevant if the motor turning it produces 100hp or 1000hp it still takes 10hp to turn it like you said i cant see a stock nissan loosing 23hp in the drive line then a 700hp Z loosing nearly 90hp in the drive train its still the same drive train
  4. Disregard this man immediately, the C63 and RS4 particularly sound awesome. Ive tried most of these as I was in a similar position a while back. The RS4 isnt particularly exciting but is very nice looking and the estate is practical, the C63 is really good but very, very juicy and the M3 handles better ......... but then Lexus IS-F feels more special and the XFR is probably the best car, but I still cant help feeling its one for my Dad. It would be close between the Lexus and the BMW for me, Id probably go Lexus after much consideration. If I didnt care about corners Id buy a full fat Range Rover Ive not tried a Stang but if it comes close to any of the above in terms of quality, dynamics and design Ill eat my trousers. Sorry oh holy one full of all knowledge i forgot how your your opinion is the only right one
  5. i just find modern german v8s so There too monotone, They like to go to work do there job and come home, they don't enjoy themselves they take themselves way to seriously, if they where a person they would be the sort of person i would want to work for me, but wouldn't want to be friends with.
  6. at the end of the Day its power at the tyres that matters, its all well and good saying to your mates down the pub (adenoides voice) My engine mkes 300bhp, if only 250 makes it to the road i think around a 30hp lose from engine to wheels on a 350z is about right tho from what abbey motrosport told me when i went for dyno run i know my friends evo fq300 lost about 70-80 Hp through the drivetrain
  7. I do miss this bumper/look getting like me with my white grids

  11. ford repair and servicing bills vs bmw/audi/merc Superb after market support for the mustang newer guessing the others are going to be heading around the 5 year old mark
  12. yes its something that i plan on doing alot more, correct me if im wrong but i cant see any massive gains from a 2way from a welder? Meh its debatable i havent had a welder so cant say but speaking with bizz and Ross Gregory at the weekend the both had the opinion if you can get a 2way get it, as its alot more progressive and less snappy than a welder hopefully me a dedman can compare a bit at donnington
  13. didnt you buy this from me? if so i might be up for buying it back haha
  14. so the vq35de was first used in an elgrand in 2000
  15. sorry im wrong its not the 172/182 its just the 197 http://blog.alliance-renault-nissan.com/content/b-platform
  16. Well, I never knew that. Makes you wonder why the Micra is such a POS to drive then. Renault did a better job with it than nissan i guess lol
  17. My bad Im thinking 350z lol
  18. the amuse kit or the nismo ktis? As there very similar but the Amuse is something stupid like an 11pc kit with wide arches the nismo v3 is basically same kit just not wide arched
  19. this made me laugh people at trax walking past going shame they don't know there cars have Renault engines Interesting Fact Renaultsport Clio 172/182/197 shares its platform with the micra and cube
  20. Maybe thier broke and cant afford the repairs and thats why there selling up
  21. guessing the muppit didn't realise the 2jz was available in lots of other cars than his precision supra Don't get picky about Supras....or I have to remind you where the VQ engine came from. a nissan people carrier haha
