    Best Hybrid Bike????

    I manage a bike shop, my current town bike is a Trek 7.3 FX. Awesome piece of kit for the money! They're a slightly shorter top tube when compared to a "flat bar roadie" so they're comfy around town.

    Ebay :(

    I just rang the police and was transferred to the credit fraud unit, paypal must complete their investigation before the police get involved. Paypal have to allow the guy 10 working days to respond so if he hasn't by the 20th they will refund me the money and get the police involved to claim it...

    Ebay :(

    Well it seems it didn't end up going through ebay, Ive never really used it so when he asked for payment to be sent through paypal to his email account i didn't question it. Luckily Ive paid for products not paid as a gift so i think I'm still covered?

    Supercharger my 197.

    Id much rather Ktec to take several years to properly design and test the supercharger unit before "bolting" one on my engine and have a piston shoot through my block. As for the cost I don't think people supercharging are really interested in the cost of it, granted 4-5 k is a lot of money on...

    Germans can have a laugh...

    Haha I think 10k is optimistic too, when you think Mazda recommend rebuilds every 50k miles (80 over here for us aussies) on their production run RX8 I think this thing would only ever be a drag fuel racer type setup... which is reasonably doable along as you're only running the engine for...

    If you could change one thing about the clio.....

    True, straight 6's sound better anyway. But the engine's TT already so it'd be the easier conversion:thumbup:

    Straightening bent alloys - yes or no?

    I wouldn't, Id just get either a set of renault wheels on flea bay or take the opportunity to buy some superlegga's. I read somewhere the Buggati Veyron needs to have its wheels replaced every two tyre changes due to the severe stresses acceleration puts on them - a little off topic I know
