    Hi Guys, Not sure if anyone will remember me, but I used to own and RB F1 number 489 nearly 4 years ago when I sold it. Owned it for a few years. Anyway, I just bought number 470 for my girlfriend, and am obviously insure as well ;) Doesn't look to be in the register so will post it in there...

    BMW test drive....

    Yeah my mate had one of these. Stupid fast things once mapped ~380bhp. And a really nice place to be. Would be a very nice upgrade I think. But as said yeah can't imagine it would be as good/fun round a track.

    1500 bhp GT-R

    Actually crazy. Can't imagine what that would actually feel like. Love the way it leaves the rubber on the road at the end.

    would 205 50 17 fit (winter tires) ???

    Your tyres would be 11.5mm bigger and therefore your speedo would be over reading slightly. So if your speedo said 70 you would actually be doing 71.29mph. But as we know the speedo over reads already. So it might actually make your speedo dead on. And there is no reason as to why they...

    Like for Like, who's left the clio for something new?

    Since my 197 I have had a mini R56 coopers s which I loved. But had no end of engine trouble with it. Now got a civic type r fn2 and love it. Many people don't rate it. But the interior is leagues ahead of the Clio and mini tbh. Really like it. Close call as to what I prefer 197 or fn2. But do...

    350z..

    Yeah they are awesome. My dad has recently got one. On the road I would say it's much quicker than the Clio. The V6 makes such a great sound too. Even with the standard exhaust. It's defo a step up from the Clio. Would probably have one myself if my dad didn't have one lol. The interior is a...

    Astra Vxr Or Clio 197. FAO 197 owners

    Having owned both I feel I should comment. I had the Clio for just over a year sold it for an astra VXR. 4 months later swapped the VXR for my Clio back. Think that says enough. In my time I put a full exhaust and remapped the astra. Was running just shy of 300bhp and same torques. Was silly...

    Make me sick

    Yeah it's all just becoming more American lol. All this where there's blame there's a claim rubbish. As with a lot of things the honest majority (well I hope it's still the majority) suffer whilst the "other" people benefit.

    Motorway speed limit increase

    Yeah I have really noticed the difference since fuel prices soared. No ones seems to be tanking it, and theres more people going 56mph lol

    Corsa VXR Nurburgring - 202PS, bespoke bilsteins, LSD, Brembos...

    Haha yeah I like it too. But as everyone has said the price is a bit mad. Not long ago you could pick up brand new Corsa vxrs for just over £12k. That and all the mods to get it like that and still have £5-6k spare.

    Tyre Options and how long will they last

    I can comment to say I got through a set of front parada spec 2's in 13k Woody can confirm the rears still had plenty left. I thought they were very good tyres in the dry and no where near as bad as people say in the wet. They also did well in the snow last year ;-) I have had contis that...

    Fitting aftermarket exhaust under warranty

    It only voids any part that is related. So they could not replace the whole engine if it was to blow as they may blame that on the exhaust. I got the Ktec on mine after having it about a year. It has been back to have the steering wheel, door seals replaced. One wheel resprayed, recaro seat...
