Christ!!

Glad you're on the mend, that sounds horrific!

Still a subscriber despite not being interested in most of the cars in there, but thats just the state of new cars rather than the magazine. Can't bring myself to stop subscribing for some reason despite getting to read it for free via apple too :lol: I should cancel it but the collection on my mezz...

The i4 is only 12kg lighter though, which is surpising. Would have expected more.

The gearbox will be at least twice the weight of the toyota box...

The Hyundai crash was a bit heavy too - I imagine the ability to gain pace is not match by any improvement in braking and it'll be heavy, so... Always had trouble driving the fast electric cars in GTA for exactly this reason. I'm pretty sure that was driver error rather than Hyundai forgetting it n...

Nitron street series changed drastically over the years they produced them so that may account for some of the different experiences. Out of the box Quantum are better on lighter models, Nitron can't get the valving right for light cars but their build quality is excellent, which is why I have them ...

🙁 Happy to have a look for you if it helps Chris. Appreciated mate, may well give you a ring! Bizarre it won't fire from jump leads if it is just electrical... But it does sound odd turning over. Can you see the tdc marker on the pulley? When thats lined up with the marks on the plastic cover behin...

Happy to have a look for you if it helps Chris.

If it goes to 11 I made a mistake.

It may go to 10 though

A mere 167 for me….at 9500 revs

I've found the sweet spot for cruising though town in a 30 is 5th. You can listen to music and everything! :shock: I'm assuming that's because it's so grunty rather than stumpy short gearing :lol: 8-) I think Dan said it was geared for something like 170mph in 6th. Would be interesting to see what ...

Not very 😄 https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/p67/danwebster4130/IMG_9721.JPG I should comfortably hit my 650 kilo target though, I’m starting to think I might go for 600 instead. It’s missing bodywork and a wiring loom. The engine and box are full of fluids but my engine is over 20 kilos lighte...

https://i.imgur.com/1VtJ9NF.jpeg That's with 20L of fuel in it on collection day. :) When I put the obligatory Tilletts in it and a couple of other bits, should come down a smidge. 762kg?! That's barely over half of my GTS. :shock: Just weighed mine…. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/p67/danw...

More than double the power.

It did slightly better than I expected too, I would have been happy with anything over 240hp given the oem plenum and throttle body, but its not a coincidence that it goes so well, its the result of everything being optimised for the install. Now every rolling road you go to claims to be accurate an...

Neither, tuthill don’t build them….I was in a nondescript industrial estate somewhere near Banbury

I didn't realise before but all of the press images are renders, I hadn't looked closely enough to notice.

The orange and gold car do exist though, I saw them both today.....they look fucking ace in the flesh, the orange one especially.

If they let me take pics I’ll take plenty

(That’s a lie, I’ll probably forget).

I'm going for a tour of the factory on Friday, i'll let you know how they look in the flesh
