Buy it, top of my realistic "Ill have one of them one day" list

Brewer himself is a generally accepted figure of hate on www.sxoc.com/vbb, its worth a search on there for some of the best ranting ever seen Donkey raping cockmaster was one of my favourites

Im not going to get in argument over it, but the Rauh Welt cars are road cars, and Im afraid if you start talking about "perfect stance" then 2 inch archgaps have to be pointed out. Ive been a member of the offset police for a fair while now and had some crazy setups myself, you would be surprised what can be achieved without ruining the cars dynamics. Example: My good friend Phil Morrison of Driftworks built a V10 M3 specifically to tear round the Nurburgring. His car looks like this: and goes like the absolute clappers. Function and form can be done

Time has come for me to part out my drift car, its unlikely but you never know who might be after a 400hp engine ........ What Im selling is a drop in forged SR20 package that will easily see 400hp and potentially a lot more. You're looking at a professionally built SR20 engine, with forged pistons and rods, VEMS standalone management, GT2871R turbo and 740cc injectors, put together by FIGJAM to see 9000rpm and mapped by Gunni from GS Tuning (who now maps LMP cars for Prodrive). Once installed youll see 1.4+ Bar by 3500 rpm, and although it didnt go on a dyno with the final map (including VVT working) we saw 370hp before final tweaks were made. Ive driven a lot of 200's and this one was definitely among the fastest, certainly through the first 3/4 gears. Anyway, full spec: Bottom end engineering work done by two companies local to FIGJAM, details can be provided. Dynamic & static balancing done by a local engineering firm with the owner having built Le Mans engines. The other who did the boring, shim grinding, valves etc are a well respected local engineering company used by many of the local rally and race companies. Greddy high capacity baffled sump NEW crank from nissan ARP main studs Eagle rods with ARP 2000 bolts ACL race bearings on both main and rods CP forged pistons Slight overbore Full cross hone All oilways cleaned and block cleaned All threads chased All tolerences checked with bore-scope rather than plasti gauge Rebuilt oil pump All gaskets, chains, guides, tensioners etc replaced with Nissan parts ARP head stud kit Top end is standard but rebuilt by Damian at DI Racing, all measured and torqued after being acid bathed and cleaned, he also installed it all into my S13. IIRC its running a standard HG to keep compression high, obviously only top quality oil has been used throughout the engines life and its been carefully warmed up and cooled down. Injectors are Deutschworks 550's modified to flow at least 740cc, these actually saw just shy of 500hp in Polo's S14 before I got them. Turbo is a GT2871R 0.64 60 trim and has only been used on this engine, obviously provided with braided lines and actuator as well. Management is VEMS, and this is the first system to be used on an SR20 with a standard CAS as seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emM1_62P8yQ, and mapped by Gunni @ GS Tuning initially on rollers and later live mapped, hence no graphs. So thats it really, top quality parts, professionally built and mapped and then only used a few times in its life - FIGJAM did maybe 3K miles and Id be surprised if Ive added more than 1500 to that. Obviously as the Chairman and Treasurer of SXOC I need to be straight down the line with this, there are no nasty surprises or "Oh I forgot to mention ......" here. Im looking for £2600 for the whole lot, its possible that Id split but I would prefer to sell as a package. I have a TNT account so can transport anywhere for cheaps, and have other supporting mods (clutch, exhaust, fuel pump etc) in my other for sale thread here, Id be prepared to do a deal if someone wants to take a few bits.

Anyone heard of this garage? Any previous experience with them?
docwra replied to iwanprice12's topic in 350Z General
Why not go and see the car and make a judgment yourself, even Keighley has sold some good cars in the past. Dont see why because one guy has a bad experience that every other car that dealer buys instantly becomes a dog ...... as long as mileage and history is genuine, any other problems you can figure out for yourself. Negotiable on the price sounds like a good thing to me too, why wouldnt it be? -
Hate to be a hater but if youre talking stance that Porsche is weak - you could rehome a family of immigrants in that archgap. Search Rauh Welt to see examples of how stance should be done, like this:

Sparky370z - Very sad news (a few more pics added page 4)

RIP, never met the guy but he was obviously well loved. 29 is far, far too young -
Range Rover without the air is like a 350Z with a 4 cylinder conversion IMO

Answer to original question? Me. Thats a 18x10J ET -43 on the front and 19x11.5 ET -10 on the rear, the arches are around 70mm extended. Before anyone says anything, regardless of the ridiculous wheels its a grip monster but new tyres are rather painful to buy .......

I *THINK* ive been caught Speeding in excess of over 100
docwra replied to Seabee's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Im not going to write the same post again, but I looked into this when I was "done" ......... if they choose to proceed then you ask for a court date, and the officer will then have to stand up and justify why he did in excess of 100mph in his own car in order to catch you up. He cannot specifically detail your speed, he cant show any evidence you were driving like a tard and Id be amazed if it wasnt thrown straight out and the officer in question given a proper bollocking or worse. Being John Law isnt a license to go around doing what you want, when you want. If he was serious about this he would have taken some more details as well ......... I mean, how does he know it wasnt me driving your car for instance? You dont prosecute the car owner, you prosecute the driver. -
VAT ON DEMENTIA CARE - help me send this viral
docwra replied to Vik54's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Signed, but TBH you have to ask who is benefitting from this scam - its not the care companies, they pay on any VAT they charge to HMRC ............ which makes this particularly unsavoury, HM Gov are effectively using their own rules to profit from their own loophole. Thats then compounded as you say by the residents becoming reliant on state funding more quickly, ridiculous. Good luck -
Ive got a 4.6 P38 at the moment and I absolutely adore it - its lovely to drive, comfortable and surprisingly quick, I picked it up for pocket money as well The weirdest thing is that as soon as I jump into it, Im cruising - I drive my other cars somewhere between fast and very fast, but found myself watching a bus pull away from me in the Rangey the other day The fuel is an issue though, whatever you think - I get 15 mpg driving with Tinkerbells slipper, that equates to about 45p a mile and makes it unrealistic to use regularly. Things going wrong is a constant worry as well but TBF thats offset by the amount of car you get for your money, if you can find one thats had the air, engine, diff etc. done then you should be on a winner Do it, you wont regret it

I *THINK* ive been caught Speeding in excess of over 100
docwra replied to Seabee's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Dont worry about it, Ive had a similar experience with a guy in a Mercedes - I went past him, he took offence, fast driving occurred. He then nearly took out two cars trying to catch me up on a slip road and then pulled me over (on a roundabout no less) flashing his badge at me and telling me that he would make sure I got done etc. etc. I wasnt too worried as he was wearing a Leeds football shirt and had what turned out to be a Military Police badge rather than regular John Law, there was also the fact he had well exceeded the speed limit in a non-police vehicle, had no permission to give chase and wouldnt have had anything other than his word that I was speeding. When the Traffic Cars have to have their speedos calibrated daily I doubt some speed demon in a Polo is going to have much joy TBH EDIT: He was driving dangerously as well, even if hes a trained pursuit driver he cant just start nailing about whenever he feels like it. You also dont have to stop for an unmarked car, you can say you were worried it was a potential road rage incident. -
VAT ON DEMENTIA CARE - help me send this viral
docwra replied to Vik54's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Ive got no problem signing the petition but can you explain how EU (and therefore HMRC) law says that Care Homes should be exempt but HMRC then say there is no law being broken? Thats a pretty clear cut contradiction there, which in my experience HMRC dont tend to do ......... that often anyway -
I use Driftworks internal drive nuts, well up to the job and look alright too. I had Projects KICS Neochro's on a previous set of rims, they are sexy as hell but £200 is heavy cash for a set o nuts, no matter what anyone says Tarmac - I doubt the OEness of the wheel would affect the strength of the nuts .......... I wouldnt use them on a pushbike TBH.
-
And this is the whole point, there is no "stronger" alloy nut available, genuine or fake. The Rays nuts have additional strength in the the thread (which Im still not 100% on) but these pure alloy nuts are all the same, too soft. "Genuine" D1 nuts are just as likely to get chewed or even worse, dethreaded. Aircraft grade aluminium could be the stuff they put on top of your inflight meal BTW

Well said Dedman, Ive been banging on about this for ages. The usual response is "Well mine have been fine for xyz amount of years" ......... they are all fine until they fail.
-
Aye, and big German cars are all limited to 155mph as well NSX is probably the only one that could hold its own still these days, I wouldnt mind an Evo9 GT though.

It actually makes the car pull to the one side when you accelerate, quite amusing for a short while

Been here a while but finaly got a Z!

Not calling it the "Thunderwagon" on here then Reeco? -
And thats the difference, even if she wasnt in the UK she was part of a colony, hence she should get assistance when it goes shitshaped - Id imagine if she had worked she would have paid social security anyway. For me its dead easy - if you have paid into the system youre entitled, if you havent you arent - that goes for EU citizens as well, I cant just rock up in Denmark and start collecting the dole there, so why here?

Its not us that are taking the pee though is it, 13mpg and getting beaten by a transit is artic territory If you had a mechanical issue causing those symptoms you would kno about it, trust me

Your lamb kebab is barking at you! :)
docwra replied to Adrian@TORQEN's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Totally, I was actually saying when all the horse problems came out that the reason they werent looking into kebab meat is that we all know its not from any identifiable creature ......... but it tastes good, regardless of if its dog, cat or monkey -
