Ok I'll let you off then

[bss325i]

your missing the point mate,he did give a toss oherwise he would'nt of given me the w..ker sign,he got mugged off by a peice of old scrap.

Probably waving you the w*nker because it sounds like you were driving like one.

This did cross my mind!

I think I got the weight wrong, they are just the wrong side of a Ton, but still lighter than a 325i.

Yes jon, you did get the weight wrong, and the car!

I said a 172 was heavier than a 2dr 325i, not a 172 Cup which has no ABS, no A/C, alot less trim and alot less sound insulation.

A 2dr 325i is 1180kg

A Clio II 172 is 1090kg

A 90 kg difference

I also wrong about the weight as its the Clio III 197 which is heavier @ 1240kg.

I never said i have blow away any of the above, just beat them several times, they are a common choice among Croydon boy racers. Also, I have never said that a 325i is a fast car, just not a slow one.

[da4x4turbo]

i own 3 e30s cos i love driving em and if that means blowing off some ponce thats got the hump then thats even better.

go and polish your e30 mate cos i drive mine

Wow... 3 x 20 year old E30's. Congratulations... That makes your original point so much more valid!

I'll accept your apology either by pm or by way of a public post on this thread.

I had a razz with a MK6 golf GTi with some little hairdressery chav ponce driving it and was stunned when there was nothing in it over about a mile of 'who has the biggest nuts'. I let him go at the first roundabout as we were in danger of being dangerous.

I was stunned because my car is 1200kg and 320bhp. NOT a slow E30! Those MK6 Golfs are quick. I heard his car had a (gay) dump valve so can only assume he'd had it re-mapped or something, but when you ally that power with modern car levels of traction and braking ability they are seriously fast. I have a feeling on a track I'd have been quicker (ie my nuts would have been bigger) as the E30 handles very well as well as having that absolute traction. Trouble is I built it to be a fast raod car, not a track weapon.

I still couldn't bring myself to buy something FWD despite how ridiculously quick those Focus RS's are!

[FASTFREDDIE]

Apology ? no i stand by what i said if you felt the need to comment then take what i reply to you on the chin!

Well done on all your hard work thats very nice,but are you gonna drive it proper?

It seems your blowing your own trumpet, boasting in fact hence the need to put the link up.

I drive my e30s the way i do cos i wanna inprove em as well but that wont happen if i tootle around at 30mph every where.

when you finnish your sport and i hope you do, drive the thing otherwise whats the point?

You have picked the lowest 325i weight, I picked the lowest 172 weight!

Either way, with it being lighter a better front area I don't see the 172 ever losing if the driver understands how to drive that car....

As you said, yours isn't standard, but with 12? brake more I doubt it would blow one away if the other chap isn't a mongloid.

One still looks a bit of a prat in a clio sport though, but 90% of normal people think that about old BMWs.

good on ya mate

[da4x4turbo]

Well done on all your hard work thats very nice,but are you gonna drive it proper?

No no. I'm building a 300bhp E30 to drive it around nice and carefully. Granny shifting in every gear and seldom going above 30mph. Dithering about and generally holding up as many folk as I can in the process. Actually f*ck it, I as well might fit a tow-bar and get a caravan too; then spend the summer driving around the coast, maybe taking in the lake district if I have the time.

It seems your blowing your own trumpet, boasting in fact hence the need to put the link up.

No mate, I put the link up because you said: "go and polish your e30 mate cos i drive mine"

You seemed tho think that because I didn't agree with your pathetic attempt to try and prove how you got one over on this guy who was driving a car which was much more capable than yours. That you could imply that I was some sort of nancy who polishes his E30 and doesn't drive it. Pretty much in keeping with the theme of the thread that you've started...
So I proved you wrong.


I'm sensing some sort of inferiority complex here....!

[fuzzy]

wake me up when your racing (and beating)tuned mitsu evo's ,imprezza sti's ,e46 m3's ,porsches etc and such like.

[Brianmoooore]

If you really want to annoy and embarrass the chavs/boy racers, this is the way to do it. There can be few things more humiliating for them in front of their mates than to be outdragged by a car/caravan combo up a hill when they pull out to overtake it.
There are a series of uphill sections with an overtaking lane, following single lane downhill sections on the last thirty miles before I get home, and I have great fun dropping down a couple of gears and giving it foot to the floorboards up these sections. They tend to get up level with me, before ever so, ever so slowly (at first) dropping back, so I give them a wave, and let BMW straight six power show its worth.

ok mate i must of hit a nerve with you ,is it a case of you getting blown off at some point by a chav/newer car that made you
decide to install an m3 lump?

because of your sqawking it seems to me that your the one desperate to compete and have the inferiority complex.

good luck with the build and dont forget to polish it before you take it to a show or you wont get as many pats on the back as you would like and become the hero you so desire

must go now fella ive got an old touring to drive see ya

[ross_jsy]

Jealous the guy put a decent engine in, not some old boat anchor?

[FASTFREDDIE]

hes hero mate id buy him a coffie if i saw him at a meet and pat him on the back

If you really want to embarrass chavs/boyracers then just watch them flying off towards the horizon as you calmly pull away. They'll look pretty stupid racing themselves. Plus if you do decide to race then that makes you a boy racer too and therefore subject to your own derision. Impetuous kids race, cool dudes cruise.

im a grandad racer me

I quote from my latest 'EVO' quoting superchips, most 2.0T golf GTIs dyno around 240-250bhp

[Royalratch]

o no. I'm building a 300bhp E30 to drive it ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz zzzz

Ignore this guy FASTFREDDIE, what he's building is a rep as an annoying self-promoting chump who has no idea how to enter an argument in the correct spirit of it.

If you really want to embarrass chavs/boyracers then just watch them flying off towards the horizon as you calmly pull away. They'll look pretty stupid racing themselves.

+1. I love revving and giving it the biggun with all kinds of chavs and gangstas at lights etc and then watching them fly off into the distance like deluded fools. Obviously if I wanted to I could CRUSH them with a mere relaxation of my right foot but I fear my iS would tear a hole in the fabric of space/time if I indulged in too much of this nonsense.

My very favourite thing to do is start a race with a car and trick them into one of my 'race traps' of which I have a few dotted about town. Case in point - I start on the SOouth side of Vauxhall Bridge in London (don't ask me what I'm doing south of the river) and I pick a victim, or they pick me. I get ahead and indicate left to go onto embankment. 100m around that turn is a Gatso.

I tear off, so do they but I immediately slam on the brakes and they go shooting off into 3 points and a £60+ fine lol!

I have done about 3 or 4 chumps this way.

may i suggest this as a way of pissing your average boy racer off, nothing like a "girls car" to annoy "manly" chavs in saxos.




240hp in 800kg? oh go in then.


and there seems to be quite a few egoss, hand bags and impossible arguments in this thread....

[Royalratch]

Sorry dude, doesn't matter how fast that thing is it's a Ford AND it's Small. 2 x Fails.

[HairyScreech]

yes it is a ford, it gives me the added advantage of if the breaks fail then it should be rusty enough to stick my feet through the floor and stop Fred Flintstone style.

im under no pretences with that car.

[Royalratch]

Lol!

That Cossie has problems, valve stem oil seals for one of them I think. The rear subframe bushes need renewing/uprating and the driver needs to take off his boxing gloves before driving.

mr moooooore you do suprise me

lets see firstly you know folk who would quite happily harrass (sp?) a would be scrap man/twocer (i have to side with you on this one) with a loaded shot gun, taking a car from the side of the road & loading it onto a drop tail trailer & now this??

& there was me thinking you where an upstanding member of the community .














i hope you know i am only messing??

[N00b]

It'd be no surprise to me if one of Mr. Moooores e30s left a Veyron standing, as no doubt he's fitted a self built flux capacitor made out of parts from a betamax recorder.

the illusion of a touring (to anyone else: 'an old estate') with a towbar is fantastic. i regularly see confused drivers disappearing in my rear view mirror, wondering what just happened to them
While 'roaming' we were discussing the construction of a performance GT caravan that could handle the twisties too now that would humiliate some people



in my book, someone who BUILDS a fast car has my respect. someone who BUYS one does not. anyone can go and lod themselves up to the eyeballs in debt and buy a 300bhp FWD chariot but if you can build a car that is as fast from leftovers from a scrapyard and a E30 shell then you win!

F*cking scumbag... You can't compete in your measly 318is, so you have to stoop to this level in an effort to come out "on top"

Then you feel so overwhelmingly satisfied with yourself that you feel the need to boast about it on a public forum.

Whatever you say about me in a positive or negative light mate, you've truly exposed yourself here.

I have a lot of shortcomings, but this is truly truly abhorrent behaviour. There's only one "chump" here... and it's none of the guys who were looking for a race.

SCUMMER.

[Royalratch]

That post was only a month ago you loser - how can you get upset 4 weeks later

I would never have normally looked at this thread again but when I saw your name as las poster I knew there was some fun to be had with whatever retarded noise you spout this time.

Such a sensitive soul you are, so caring about your brother chavs. Stop being such a faggot and admire my imagination and execution of flawless road vigilantism, dishing out justice to deserving boy racer filth who engage my antics of their own free will and then pay the price!

A life note if I may.

The car I was driving for the above exercise (and in life in general) is utterly irrelevant as a marker of status or reflection of my character - only you seem to think this way - very sad.

You truly are a woman.

[Felix79]

The only thing I have been chuffed at beating was a Lexus 400 from a standstill. Other than that I am too much of a scardey cat and my beloved car too old to try it on

[da4x4turbo]

That post was only a month ago you loser - how can you get upset 4 weeks later

Because I, unlike you, spend most of my time out in the real world. Having a real life outside the zone is pretty much the converse of being a loser dude. Deal with it.

I don't have the time to be sitting on here day and night waiting to come up with some witty comeback bullsh*t when someone takes some of the bait that you put out. I mean seriously, you pride yourself on your ability to tell people "what's what"

I can't think of anything more utterly valueless. What sort of a person strives to be good at that? What does that say about you?

The long and the short of it is that I, unlike you, am not desperate for attention!

Go on, write something really REALLY smart now to make yourself feel better. Like the good little keyboard warrior that you are.
