Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer
oversteer, that sounds dangerous Used to be scared of the limit but theres nothing sweeter than getting it right in the 2... Used to power it to get a bit of back end kick but i found heavy braking in to the turn gets the smoothest break away then its just poweeeer until you straighten out.. Defini...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer
Stock wheels as well would think they would be more controllable on the proper sized wheel and the tires look good..
Shame to see man... Every ones wrecked a car at some point though, never flipped but I completely totaled my m3 and that was a pricey car

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer
I wouldn't bother unless you're turning it into a pure track only machine. You shouldn't ever reach flipping limits on the roads because of hard driving If you can do that /\ at 25 imagine what shape it would be in at 60mph which is very reasonable speed to be driving.. Thing that puts me off is th...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer
I have to say does seem like a low speed to flip with such a low center of gravity but it obviously can happen? Was it a t bar? what kinda shape was it in after? I presume not repairable but did it deform a lot? Been considering a roll cage as I do like to drive hard..

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer
Yeah very true, no substitute for finding some open tarmac and having a blast, was always scared of the back end on mine but after some late night "practice" sessions on a few industrial estates you will find they are quite predictable and very capable once you know the drill.. Having said...

Re: [All] [Generic] potential EU law against modified cars?
Yeah it just reminds me alot of the things i said about the smoking ban, "dont be ridiculous think about the loss of business for bars, clubs, etc they will never do it" There are a lot more smokers than modified car owners! We are living in a ever more restrictive society.. However I do t...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] New mods - A work in progress (Picture Heavy!)
Yeah, I didnt actually want to know the full cost as it will just depress me as I know this project is going to bankrupt me... But I look at it this way, my business partner spent £48,000 on his E class brand new, its 7 years old now and its now worth £6000 :shock: Im in no rush to complete this pro...

Yeah took it in last Saturday :D took it to p,works but Century motorsport will be doing the engine build.. Forged bottom end, cosworth pistons, carrillo rods, arps, etc probably something like a GT3071r.. Then body kit, re-paint in army green :lol: lavish amounts of carbon fiber, under tray, front ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] hybrid ct26
Unfortunately wont be at JAE, the 2s in at p,works for the rebuild so doubt it will be seeing the road before next year. Where can one purchase a TDO6 kit for £900 are we talking ebay second hand? Been looking on ATS and if i buy from there will probably be a gt3071r or 76r as its not that much more...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] When does a mr2 stop being a sports car and become a hypercar or something
A super car was built to be super... An mr2 was built to be a cheap sports car. A modified car is exactly that... A modified car... This is why we have these terms.. Yes you can describe your mr2 as a super car to people if you think it will impress them but if you really want to impress just take t...

Re: Interesting 2 for sale on ebay
I dont think there is anything wrong with the NA as long as its not got a stupid body kit, its just a different type of car.. Only thing i would say it the NA kind of gives the breed a less serious image.. All petrol heads respect a evo or an rx7 but as we never had a uk tubby people look at it like...

Re: Interesting 2 for sale on ebay
I dont think its that bad i think the wheels make it look terrible.. If it was in either silver or black with some nice BBS lm 10j rims it would good! Definitely prefer that to a veilside or stupid ferrari replica.
