  1. On a j its more thn likely the 2L Turbo lump from the calibra, it was a popular mod when i had my gte 16v many moons ago. The fact they can be a***d to keep a j reg in good nick probably tells you its been modded and looked after. Even so a calibra wasnt up to 280bhp, but vauxhalls do tend to be pretty quick, my astra would leave all other cars of that era standing (apart from the 5 gt turbo) and it was only 156bhp (i think, either that or 136bhp) so bhp aint everything!
  2. No, blue. What sort of age was it? Spotted white classic on m2 at about half ten last night, and dk blue classic with front mount in paddock wood about 12ish. Sounded fantastic Also couldnt get away from an audi tt v6 quattro on saturday night. Boo
  3. Like all blob eyes I think it could do with being detangoed. Would like to do mine if only i had the skill, patience and another set of headlights when i inevitably break them.
  4. Sorry, I think its just 2 for 1 at the moment
  5. Woo Hoo! Fun driving time
  6. And then you had to sit in the A2 traffic.
  7. For the love of god, no!
  8. But should we have to? Petrol is already taxed at 75%, more than any other country. Congestion charging is being introduced to other cities, you have to pay to use a not so congested part of the M6, speeding fines are just another tax. And now road pricing is on the cards. The tax burden of motorists is a joke, the green issue is a joke, India and China pump out mind boggling amounts of co2 yet our tiny, environmentally insignificant island thinks it can save the world by pricing anything above a 1.6 off the road. I take your point, but I earn my money, its already taxed at source so I would quite like to do what i want with the rest. This, it seems, is now impossible. Sorry, rant over.
  9. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask. Gonna phone the police and tell them iv been mugged by an odd looking fella with white hair and black eyebrows. Then as he run off with my wallet he said he would be back to do it again in october.
  10. 1. stiggy 2. Yogi 3. Shiralee 4. Rodregos 5. Mikkers Im up for chavvin' it up occcasionally
  11. A good ol' irish gag
  12. Makes me so angry I just wanna
  13. My guess would be a patronising letter arriving sometime between now and Christmas. And I had no idea you had to be so grammatically correct on this forum. I for one will certainly be thoroughly checking my posts for compound split infinitives.
  14. Thats an expertly wrapped downpipe! Is it the sticky backed stuff or has is just got the retaining wire, iv heard soaking it in water first can help, did you bother doing that? Going to try and do mine when i decat it but its going to look less like a downpipe and more like an egyptian mummy. Have you figured a new gearbox in this, esp if you want to go to 2.5.
  15. Dk blue classic, stickered up including an LAS one on the nearside sill. WR blue blobby with big brakes under std wheels, quite like to know what brakes they were. Pipe on the classic was huuuge. Both at dockside saturday night.
  16. Nevermind the car, can I just congratulate you on the clearest post you have ever written. Hardly any text tlk.
  17. My newage is doing 70mph @ about 2900rpm in 5th. Are newage and classics geared differently?
  18. Album - Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell Song - New Dawn Fades by Joy Division Or Rocking In The Free World by Neil Young
  19. I hope you get the waxing kit out first. And guys, please, no thongs.
  20. 1. Shiralee 2. XBX, Andy 3. Dunks 4. Garth W 5. dazzler 6. Granby 7. Scuzz 8. Baser999 9. ProdriveTony 10. Still Grinning 11. HOL 12. Swifty1981 13. Big Jay 14. Mikkers Brands would be great, but definately in the Summer. Getting a date which everyone can do is going to be tricky though, so i think this should be sorted out fairly soon, so people can start clearing their diaries!
  21. I looked under the bonnet of that mpv, i could only see a little hamster on a little wheel! But my standard wrx is definately in need of some enhancement, got a few £££s to spend on it and it will have an extra 100bhp by about August if it friggin' kills me.
  22. A letter AND a visit? Crikey, you must be a real threat. God damn number plate crime, there is nothing worse.
  23. Shame they shut down rainham police station, someone could have popped it through the door rather than wasting valuble taxpayers money on postage. I mean, somebody actually sits in an office all day and does this? Nice work if you can get it. Watch it dunks, the kent county constabulary always get their man.......unless its burglary, assault, shoplifting, murder, rape or generally being a pikey (which surely is a crime?)
  24. Yeah, and a metal gearknob. But it could have been worse - it could have been a zafira, eh?
  25. Iv gone up against slower evos - that thing had genuine pace. Lets just say i wont forget it for a while. Normally its civic type r cannon-fodder on that private road and frankly they may as well not bother. But when i layed it on and wasnt gaining and then he started pulling away i thought its to the modding shop double-quick.
