Im watching the GP in my garden then I am off to get my car washed and to consume some fosil fuel and reduce some ozone.

and yet no video

*leaves thread VTAKYO-less*

Nice, love those J's exhausts.

I dunno if I wanna go out for a play today. Few rural shows locally so the roads are full of danger

we have run to the sun going on, just got back from newquay and plebs everywhere

Overtaking is comedy with all these Sunday drivers about sitting at 50mph on clear open roads, some I were catching at silly speeds and just carrying on past them on the outside of bends (Loads of visibility)

Rev limiter on what? The MR2?

Yep, MR2 mk1. Just had dinner and off for a run again

I've found that the sunday drivers move over loads if you drop a gear behind them as you are coming up, very handy.

I need an S2000 in my life.

Doesn't the single exit look a bit odd on the S2?

Yeah a little bit as one of the cut outs in the bumper is empty. Still though, it sounds ace if a little OTT

It's not 8750, redline is 7750, limiter is meant to be 8250 but several people report going over that without one, also rumoured to rev to 9k as stock with no issues, just no real power up there.

Just driven from Southampton to Dursley via Andover (~100 miles) T-Bars off, windows down, enjoying the A-Roads in my mk1 mr2

love days like today

even treated the car to nice good washing earlier!

only downside is first sitting in car, all leather just burns you to **** haha

spaz · 24 May 2009 at 17:15

Wish I still had my S2000 for weekends like this! I've seen so many about the past couple days...oh well I've got the volvo to have fun in....

Dorje · 24 May 2009 at 17:24

Hope the rest of the summer is like this, predictions reckon it will be a scorcher!

I break up for the summer from Uni on Tuesday, so lots of top down action for me :cool:

Lashout_UK · 24 May 2009 at 17:34

I've been driving this all day:

It's great fun but......

-flaps hand-

.....if you know what I mean! (and yes, it is a GTi!).

I just keep thinking:

Awesome, I'd have a J's for the Civic if I could afford one, one of those blue tinted titanium ones that point downwards like a diesel exhaust

edit: hang on, is that the one you've got Si?

9000rpm? 3500 rpm short, you want to get that limiter looked at!

excaliborg · 24 May 2009 at 20:48

Been loving driving my MX5 today too - so many convertibles out on the roads!

Booner! · 24 May 2009 at 20:49

I can't believe you didn't come and terrorise Oxford with us! (Southern meet)

Was that today? Oops. To be fair I was driving back from a houseparty the night before.

I've taken the baffle out of my Quill Titanium exhaust - it's loud, it scares old people and I love it! 14000rpm though

Sod the old people, noise is good! :cool:
