Carl 3 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 Hope it was a boy racer, too many of them around!!! I never feel any sympathy for racers that crash. I had to have a chuckle the other night, I saw MT in his suped up M3 (license plate AJP) waiting at the Melling lights - infamous boy racer area - when several boyz rocked up in their suped up civics/crxs eyeing him up for a drag... let me see, little jappas against a 400 bhp M3 with a racer driver... was god damn funny to watch them get caned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tane and I had a nice chat to him last time we were up in Manfeild.It wouldn't be hard to come off looking like a racer when you've got a 400bhp engine hooked up to a 6 speed SMG gearbox running 285 tyres on the rear He was planning on getting it super charged but discovered that the M3 engine he has has a fairly weak camshaft that wouldn't handle the charger. Suck, just think if he did get it charged, a 500bhp M3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deftones 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 Back on topic... I usually drive that way when coming back from good old Pak and Shave... Always notice totally fukd up cars on the bit before the corner onto Buckle Street... Cars which looked like someone has misjudged the corner and sideswiped (in a big time) them. Normally see at least one new one every two months.. I go especially slow around that corner around Buckle Street.. the car bounces alot around it.

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 yeah the whole basin is weird,off camber and bumpy,but that corner in the outside lane is really off camber on the exit and the wider you go the more off camber it is,its ok on the entrance but the camber switches about halfway round....

Carl 3 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 I very rarely drive around the basin, if heading to the airport I take the scenic route around the bays, bloody funny to see kent and cambridge terraces on a sat night though... CaM, you cannot hop in my car for intermarque, for any motorsport governed event before a competitor can have a passenger riding along the car has to have certain safety features installed. Ian explained it to me before, I think the car has to have a roll cage and 5 point safety harness and the passenger must also wear the required safety gear.

bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2005 those alloy blocks are really weak. they like putting pistons through the sidewalls. a well known feature of this engine. :thumb: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
