Hmm got to side with Den on this tbh, I fear for that car's future....I couldn't imagine owning a car of that performance at 19 years old, I was way too stupid and immature. I mean look at me know and imagine what I must have been like then
Just checking. Could see it back on Ebay in a few months when he's been banned - you can insure it as a 1.8...
Hey! im 19 and if i was lucky enough to have bought a car like that i'd sell my mother before i let it turn to sh*t
Shame its poo slow though (i can say that, ive got one!) seen a lupo with r32 trim in it this weekend, im sure you'll squeeze it in mate!!!!!
Yeah always thought your rado was nice but you obviously sold it for your own reasons. If it had to be done then so be it. I have to agree with Den etc It will get wrapped or be up on ebay in 6 months, due to loss of his license, looking tatty as hell. shame tbh.
WRONG!!! its still going strong!!! he seems to have looked after it, i ahve it now with one owner in between, its still mint and im looking after it now, its in safe hands. although im only 20 so you might have something to say about that!!!!
have you managed to find more info on the car's spec? the gearing is pretty damn short, im curious to konw if theyre the normal ratios/diff etc
gearing on Amy's car? 02m 6speeder from a leon, which does work out pretty short for a turbo on 15s, great for an ABF tho
atm im in gear for as long as im changin gear! maybe something to do with girly gearchanges also but still!!! i think its a standard diff, mite look at getting a longer LSD one. i also wanna find out what make the heavy duty clutch is cos its not in teh paperwork. dont spose u know that too prof?!
I found it ok, although I only did 4k on the road in the syncro with the same set up. Depends what you want
it just kinda seems im changing gear too much!! and 6th gear is exaclty the same ratio as 5th on my g60, it just means i have to do more gear changes in between!!! sounds good tho wen i say i have 6 gears!
there should be some plots up on the essex/gtech thread (rpm vs time). 2nd gear lasts almost no time at all, it doesnt manage 60 in 2nd. short gears are not a problem but it pulls through them very quickly, to the extent that the graphs show gear change times are similar to in gear times ie its spending a lot of time changing gear because the gears are very close andy... that box would suit my abf down to the ground, bare me in mind if yuore looking to change it
tell you what, lets break my g60!! ill have the box from that, u can have teh 6 speed and the g60 engine with ur head!!! sorted!
