i know you love us really . its only a pain having us there when marty is on tow as no other cunt can get a passen ger lap as he's like a wee kid at the front of every queue

dunlop
all the WEEGIES are in manchester you mean!!

 

No idea mate, cant distinguish between the accents, you all sound the same and I cant understand a single one of you!

 

LOL
weegies are a different breed mate. can be right whiney accent

 

Mike, other than the farndon cranks themselves, were there any other common failure between your car and Martin's car of components in anyway linked to the crank?

Ie did you both have an alternator or water pump pack up just prior to it happening or something like that?

 

whats that BTG website URL again?

I can't speak for Martin, but I have never had any of those items fail - EVER. I killed a regulator once, but that was years ago.

 

Ryan truly looks stunning

 

and the car too

 

cheers richie, just looked threw a few photo gallaries, and cant find any pictures of me on the ring

Cheers for the photo though she looks alright there.

 

Needs a lower 500 lip imo, but then all 3dr's look like that

Stunning Ryan, looks lovely!

 

Couldnt agree with you less, perfect as it is.,

 

At least i've said I like his wheels now!

 

wikid

 

as max, has said, no lower lip, think white 3drs and 500's look shite with them (look good on black and moonstone), too much contrast, the outside is staying like it is, nothing is changing, nor in the engine bar, thats the car finished, well there are a few other mods, but you cant see them behind the wheels.

 

Ok mate, just wondering if there was any other common issue between the two cars that could have in anyway contributed to it.

Although TBH, I fail to see how anything other than faulty manufacture or bad assembly could really cause a failure such as that (ie over torqueing the bolt or using a bolt that bottoms out)

 

Next mod has to be a stack dash,, nice and subtle although it'd be a shame to with it being a low miler..

 

have thought about it max, as i've just sold my digital AIM MXL dash as it didnt suit the car.

but a nice white faced stack unit would i agree.

But i think it may ruin the look of the inside, being that the rest is completely original, and also i would have more wiring in the engine bay.

 

Been looking as well mate

 

Leave it alone gets my vote, the standard dash tells you all you need to know on your car I reckon mate.

 

What other gauges do you have Ryan if any?

 

thats it chip, i dont really need to know other than whats on the standard clocks, and i didnt even have the rev counter working and i survived fine without that.

dan, i dont have any mate.

i took there 2 gauges out that were in the centre vents (oil pressure and boost)

 

Ryan's car in the eurotunel looks cool as fuck! nicest 3 door ive ever seen.

 

Does your rev counter not work with the coilpack conversion? Mine worked fine and I also have another standard rev counter with the wiring mod already done to it if you want it?

I'd want AFR in there Ryan...?

 

Is graceland still with Stu & Nicole?

 

The prognosis on Martin's was an "inclusion in the material" which lead to the failure. I can only imagine that given the fact that they have failed in the exact same way (even down to the same V piece that saved the pully wheel from moving round), that mine has suffered an identical failure. The explanation that was given was that the material could have been cut too short before machining, which means that the first 3" of material around the cut has had it's properties changed in the cutting process, so this is never normally used. However, if it was cut too short...

Ryan,
You'd think they'd have PLENTY of time to catch a picture of your car - even with the delayed reaction of a digital camera .

 

couldnt agree more,but i think its safe to say you stand more of a fighting chance......

break your car jim-i want your front discs.

 

sorry jay, plans are already afoot

to be fair to the german beast, most of the cossies i've seen would have given up the ghost after my FIRST lap let alone the 19th one. i discovered a few things this weekend, like exactly how long it takes for the car to rev past the soft-cut limiter and onto the hardcut the abuse i threw at tht car was UNREAL, especially considering it never gets the bonnet lifted

 

jim - or any other geeks - did you use the nokia sports tracker?

 

Jim, 8:38

Thats a LOT of hard driving.

Fucking well done once again, I know I said it before, but I really am amazed at how quick that is so I thought it was worth another mention!

 

Yes Jim did

What an awesome little gadget

 

What's that then?

 

PHOTOSHOP!!!!!

Ryans never made it over there................Remember!

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

 

Do I have to delete that or will it be edited for me!

 

Afpmsl

 

its a programme you can get from the web for Nokia phones. Maps out a route with gps of the ring or whatever road you are on and times you around that given route. Jim just handed me the phone and said press start under the bridge, so i did

 

Is it hard to set up? Say on a company N95......

 

so who crashed then? or is that still top secret?
