Default Pub Talk, dont you just LOVE it! :cry:

Was over my local last night when in walks this arrogant twat that lives down the road and drives a bright orange E30 318i with a poorly fitting Motorsport kit on it!

He comes in and sits straight down and launches into a speech about some car he's got with a bored out V8 in it! Starts telling one of our dart team about how he's modded it. So I but in and ask what he's done to it....

Him, Oh yeah mate, i've got 16 Holley Carbs on it!

Me, Oh right

Him, It's been bored out aswell from a 5.4 to a 6.6!

Me, why bother, sounds abit much to me!

Me again, so you had it timed?

Him, yeah mate ive had 132mph from it!

Me, thats not much for an engine of that spec!

Him, Yeah but once I ran it on Aircraft fuel and I got 35-40mph more Top Speed!

Me, bollocks mate, your talking out your arse! What power does it make?

Him, you don't know what your on about mate, I reckon it will make 350 brake!

Me, whatever, is that at the Flywheel or the wheels?

Him, what you mean, you can only measure it in one way, on a rolling road!

Me, laughed in his face, picked me pint up and walked off!



People like these really get under my skin and wind me up! Mind you it's funny to make them look like twats!

If I remember anything else i'll post it up! lol

Had some cock tell me his Nova 1.3SR was chipped up And you just can't argue with these people.

seen one like that before, claiming that he'd map'd his ECU for a set of twin 40 Webbers...... but Carbs dont use an ECU!

it would be like me saying my 1.6 GSi is a Cossie killer.... but it is.... Honest!

Why do they do it though. Surely they expect to eventually speak to somebody that does actually know about cars

Surely it would be easier to just ask him if you could look under the bonnet Pub talk is easy to get around, just ask to see the proof

as long as there are people like us who know what goes on inside a car there will always be the people that have " been there and done that" its the way of the world...... i have to work with someone like that.

my boss is funny, he thinks i know nothing at all about anything, and recons hes an expert! has come out with some totally bollocks comments today he was saying how he might put water injection on his merc CLK 230K....as the lower the inlet temps the more power they make....

"well yeah...but you only need water inje..."

"shut up stu, you dont know"



i just let him get on with it!

we had a blazing row the other day because i passed a comment about wiring up a set of spotlamps to a truck so they came on with main beam. he said it was illegal, and i made a comment about my xr2 having factory spots which go off the main beam....after 10 mins of argueing that xr2s and rsturbos did or didnt come with factory spots, he lost it and stormed off

What? He's right If CLK's have high charge temps id not be suprsied if he would get a gain from them, rootes style chargers like they got are well known for decent gains with a correctly sized jet placed before the charger.

Oh dear.... Can of worms opened here!!!!!

while talking about bosses, my boss has tried to teach me how to drive....

"if your going to over take, get ont he WRONG side of the road to look, if clear overtake, means nothing can be alongside you when you go past!!"

2 points, 1, if there was something coming you'd be dead! 2, you should always check your blind spot!

After that i made sure he'd need a new gearbox on his Audi A4 Avant 2.5 V6 Tdi!

is it really nessacary on a car like that though?! surely a better way of lowering ACTs would be to fit a decent intercooler...

dont really know a whole lot about the merc engines but i cant see a 2.3 lump that makes just shy of 200bhp having high enough ACTs to warrent water injection!! unless it was designed/developed poorly, which i cant see from a merc!

its just the way he said it that got me, water injection wouldnt be the first mod on my mind....

not seen how CLK engines are laid out, but most supercharged engines with rootes style blowers cant have an intercooler as they bolted directly to the inlet (check out jackson racing supercharged civics and focus for example) so water injection is the first/only choice.

dont be suprised how high charge temps will be either, esp if not intercooled theyd be v.high. ive seen standard intercooled turbo cars still have have temps well over 60degC, so may well be bad on 230K's, dunno, but deffo dont discount it without checking it out.

many manufacturers delberatley make zorsts restrictive, charge temps high, boost too low, etc etc etc to keep the power down, as any higher and itd make buying the next model up totally pointless fo example...

The AE86 Corrola on my driveway right now, on twin 40 cars also has an ECU, its on Omex managment, runs a coilpack too

ECUs do more than the fuel...

I know a guy who thinks he knows everything. I'll put it in point form as i can't be arsed typing loads!!!

1. His 130bhp 206 GTi with 1/2 ton of ice can beat 230bhp RS turbos
2.His 130bhp 206 GTi with 1/2 ton of ice can beat 300bhp 200sx's
3. His mate has an Escort Gti with 220bhp - funny how my 150bhp RS 2000 had it isn't it?
4. He has actually done and can do ANY engine conversion into any car.
5. If you question his 'knowledge' you get "do you know who i am?" Yes you are possibly the largest twat in existance. Reply - "i'll get you done in!"

Options.
1 listen to him and challenge a race, go on be a chav

2 Listen to him and sup your pint, ignoring the usual chaff and chatting up birds and generally having a good time

3 Listen to him and try and explain the theory of combustion, boring the fuck out of any bird sad enough to be listening and go home alone
