hey bitch, there aint nothing wrong with 1.3's ;), my ride is pumping out a huge 75bhp LOL

LOL - my 1.2 1st gen pumped 68 kilowatts at the front wheels on a dyno.:finger:

Bored to 73mm goldwing pistons and stroked with EN1crank and rods and with twin dell orto carbs, mugen cam and jackson racing headers mind you and a hefty 10.5:1 comp ratio :)

Not paying out on the 1.3 at all, just at the thinking that it's shit hot to beat one with a car with a larger capacity motor :devil: :devil: :devil:

Besides that - you're a pom, your cars have to be small capacity to match your island roads and so you don't hurt yourselves at speeds over 20mph :finger: :devil:

so u done all that shit to a 1.2 and it only put out 86kw, WOT A WASTE OF TIME

and at least we have roads not dirt tracks :flipa:

LOL - 68kw = 91hp at the wheels in a 640 kilo car = better power to weight ratio than a hell of a lot of cars on the road nowadays - and besides, it was a labour of love and a hell of a lot of fun to build, parts were cheap :)

LOL at the roads - typical whinging pom, give 'em a bit of dust and they cant handle it and have to go home to their cobblestones :flipa:

OK fair enough about the car,

but that dust comment is b/s, we have dirt roads here, just that our country's roads arent 90% dust like yours :finger:

and we only have cobblestones in the old towns and thats it :flipa: which to be fair still beats DIRT!!!

That would be why they filmed the Matrix in London, not Sydney... oh hang on... :finger: :flipa: :finger: :flipa: :finger:

Hell, they couldn't even film LoTR in England as it didn't look modern enough for Middle Earth and they had to go to New Zealand of all places :p

no they filmed the matrix in Sydney coz UK weather is bollocks more than likely, and LOTR is shite anyway so i dont really care lol

heheh - good call - except it's been raining here the last few days too ;)

australlia is an island in the cuts, and thats that.

WTF IS THAT MENNA MEAN (LANGUAGE DIFFERENCE AGAIN:rolleyes: )

LOL - good on you Melt - Australia is a continent :finger: :flipa: :finger: :devil:
