Nitrous, init

Innit bruv!

Nahhh it used to be for the standard turbo to set it down to low boost which was .4 bar. Its not connected to anything now.......However in the future it would be a good place for Nitrous switch.

Had my roof and mirrors wrapped gloss black at the weekend. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

When done properly its hard to tell the difference between paint from a distance.

What happened to the Monaro? How far behind am I?

Princey · 9 Jun 2016 at 19:40

3 years.

I sold it, had a brief stint with just a focus, then got bored and got a VXR8, had that for a very short while, decided I was not in to cars, sold it, bought the Insignia to replace the focus, now I miss interesting cars.

That's pretty high spec for an SRi of that vintage. Nice car.

Princey · 9 Jun 2016 at 21:07

Thanks

It's very nice, it's a shame the auto box is dumb though, oh and the engine is very unrefined at low speeds.

I've still got that. We did this in it at the weekend. Not me driving, I'm front seat passenger.

I'm looking rather intently at VXRs at the moment

Our E46 is getting more and more faults and I don't want to put any more money into it... so VXR is near the top of the list to replace it... along with 645 / 650 / 545 / 550 / XJR / E46 M3 / E39 M5 / V10 M6

Anything with a decent petrol engine really.

Realised I haven't posted our (more the missus' but I drive it) new runabout.

A mighty 1.0 Ecoboost Titanium.

Managed to find one with full leather interior and heated front seats

Comes with all the necessary toys. Cruise, climate, BT.

Janesy B · 9 Jun 2016 at 22:30

Better than that rubbish Honda thing you have.

peterattheboro · 9 Jun 2016 at 22:46

You'll be seeing plenty of that rubbish Honda in 2 months

Couple of pictures from my tour of the Scottish Highlands on the North Coast 500.

That was seriously entertaining! Who's the driver?

Just a friend of mine - it was his stag party so I let him do a few laps. He has raced and instructed a little but still very much an amateur. Not a bad time 5 up with traffic.

You're a cool friend. Was your bum twitching a little at 0.46s though? I know mine would be :s

There were a few of those moments, that was actually one of the cleaner laps.

How was it? Did you follow the suggested itinerary?

Mate that's a great lap but seriously, buy a lid. You have an off at that speed and those heads will be mush. Love the Spaz, rested massively by the few owners I know of.

Yup followed it to the letter. Not all great, some roads are narrow, very bumpy and not the best but the views are always superb. Will do a proper write up at some point.
