Well, I voted no! I think 'chav' is more a state of mind/attitude than the looks on a car anyway. There are some things that simply do not fit on 'nice' cars - e.g. I hate the washer jet LEDs because they have been done to death several times over on cheaper cars owned by very young lads/lasses, likewise stick-on ally fuel fillers and a few other bits:) As to dating the looks - yse, but it's in keeping with the car's era i.e. the '90s.White was the Yuppie colour of choice in the '80sand it's coming back into fashion so who knows? LOL Maybe big, windmill-looking three spokes will make a return, or Venoms? I used to love both but wouldn't touch them now!!

Yeah - drifting is prolonged, controlled oversteer

I was about right then:d

0.069 springs to mind for some reason. 1bar = 14.5psi (I think)

I always find that with understeer the car just ploughs on - with proper oversteer you can get the back out and 'balance' it on the throttle. With a powerful car you can initiate oversteer with a heavy throttle and a bend, in less powerful cars you need to get the back end out first - a tug on the handbrake mid turn suffices usually. Once it's out you can control the rear wheels with the throttle - keep it applied and the slide will continue, lift off and the back end will come back into line. If you lift off too sharply, you end up with a snap oversteer - the back end acts like a pendulum and swings the other way - somewhat uncontrolled and unwanted:) Best to practice on a skid-pan or an empty, wet or icy, carpark (or grass) :)

Incomming is never much fun - but at least it makes the outgoing more meaningful LOL

FWD tend to understeer, RWD tend to oversteer. Oversteer is (for me anyway) easier to control Also, it's more fun

SMG = officers and REMF's gun LOL

- where the arrow bends around the bow - enabling it to fly straight. Probably not so important in more modern bows where the rest is directly in line with the string. Older set-ups used arrows with a degree of flex in them - this allowed them to bend as the pressure of the string pushed them forwards - the arrow would then straighten up - the archers paradox

How do these affect the 'archer's paradox'?

Hey! Archery - now that is fun :) Never tried carbon arrows - only ally and wood. I've always wanted to go hunting with a decent compound bow set-up:)

Get busy with the file and the silicone sealant mate :)

See it all the time mate! very single day at work, without fail, I will pas groups of kids with their phones blaring away horrible, tinny sounds:( Sometimes gangs of them walk past me, other times I walk past groups of them - all with something horrible 'playing' Perks of working in a college I guess

Shooting is actually rather boring and dull unless your targets are genuinely hard to hit e.g. far away, moving, hiding etc. Targets must also 'fall when hit' and make a noise just so's you know you definitely hit the bugger (I mean target) LOL. My favorite shot? 700m downhill, poor visibility, small scope, through the splash-plate of a 155 howitzer into the gun commander a most excellent shot

Used to be a little handy with most pistols, rifles and stuff - not so sure these days as I don't get the chance much any more

Look at the lumen rating (output) and stay away from the cheap ones - they're pretty crap. With that kind of budget you should be able to get a really good, quality set-up

I have a set (been painted red!) you can have - no pads or anything - yours for postage + some beer :) PS - they were absolutely fine - replaced with a UK set-up:)

This bit

Colin, whilst you're at it how about having a go at the spark plug cover that runs between the covers? It's metal with a rubberised cover?

I have some - not a complete set though - about 18 I think. PM me if interested - I'll be after postage + a few beers for them :)

Again!

Might be a local 'initiative' - I run an RS-R on my N/A - mostly with the baffle out - and have never had a problem

You can usually pick up a replacement (second-hand) lump for around £1k. Fit it yourself if you're reasonably handy with a spanner or try to enlist the assistance of some local members if not (I'm doing exactly that this weekend - my oil pump went kaput:() I dunno how much a decent garage would charge you mate but keep your chin up - it'll work out in the end :) Good luck dude and I sincerely hope you get it sorted soon and reasonably cheaply

Been on for nearly a year with no ill-effects or adverse tyre wear. Personally I have never quite understood the 'no spacers' school of thought. What's the difference between a set of wheels the correct offset and the same set with the wrong offset but with spacers to correct it? The measurements will be exactly the same (i.e. the offset) so I fail to see how they can put extra stress on the wheel bearings. I would only ever use decent quality hubcentric spacers and would never go any more than is absolutely necessary. I admit, 'propper' wide, deep rims would be more desirable but I have no intentions of tracking the car so I fail to see any problem No doubt others will disagree

They do now :) - I have some very nice, hubcentric spacers and longer studs fitted (think they're 15mm)
