just had a race with the above and itll have to go down on record as my first defeat :cry: there wasnt that much in it tbh,id say it was probably about the 350bhp mark and he resorted to a dodgy overtaking manoeuvre to shake me off but i have to admit there was no way i was catching him.i blame my dodgy fuel pump...and the sun was in my eyes etc.... winkeye

no shame in that - they aint slow dude, used to have one myself (although to be fair, you probably would have kicked my arse, only 250hp) -

R32s not as heavy as the later ones either. Was it a GTR or a tuned GTS?

Bet he was more shocked by how close you stayed to him!!! May pop over to gtr.co.uk to see if anythings been said.

Cheers

its a great feeling when you pin and shut down a car that dont expect it.

i blew away lots of cars in the M3, and in my tech1 when it was running nitrous!!

rememver on the way to donny last year, i shut down an e36 M3 gt, on wis back bumper at 155mph then when all the way to 172 on the GPS!!!!!!!

a local CSL was good fun, with him all the way to 120 mph off the lights and started pulling away but had to slow down for traffic lights!!!

i know some one will sat that its dangerous and wrong and i know it is, but we all do it!!

good on ya mate anyway

:cool:

it looked like a well looked after car ,red with a black carbon bonnet,5" exhaust.maybe he wasnt even trying because it was popping and hissing as he overtook me ,sounding like a high tuned motor.im not making excuses though but im down on power at the moment top end because my fuel pump is struggling and intermitantly failing me.ive got a new walbro pump from an escort cosworth thats rated upto 500bhp and im fitting it this weekend and that will then allow me to go to stage 3 and 330-340bhp winkeye

Sorry to but in but thought I'd make you feel better by saying that im sure what ever amount your spending/looking to spend isn't as much as the cost of getting a new car all together like a lot people do for the sake of a new fiesta to a new bmw, yet what you'll have in the end is something special. In my case I know I'm paying over the odds compared to some to get my car close to what other zoners have got simply because of the fact that I am unable to do a lot of the major work myself and so have to pay labour. As mentoned is the reason as to how I can justify what I spend on it :roll: :)

Be majorly gutted if anything bad happened to it though coz I know insurance wouldn't pay back close to the total amount of time and cash pumped into it. Fingers crossed and touch wood I never have to 'press 1' to make a claim :(
