If it was my business and some 'clerk' made the decision to pay a fine rather than the employee both individuals would not have jobs!

Snowmotion and Sailaholic thanks.

Dupain, for you I give the words of wisdom that my children know word for word "it is better to let people think your a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt". Also have a nice day!

For the record and I'm not very proud of even saying it was son was caught in a 110 kmh zone, he is still an idiot and hence why I have his car in my garage.


Magpie, you're son's car is the one with the massive spoiler 3 foot high on the back?

How did we get so this far away from headers?

Dupain, This is a big place and it catches people out, that is why it's called the net.
When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Dupain I own the blue/silver MX5 with the ironing board on the back and I drive it responsibly on the road. My sons car is a V6 NA commode.

Top speed in mine so far is 186 down the back straight of QR.

Stop feathering the go pedal. :D

nothing wrong with an ironing board as long as it actually does it intended purpose. if it wasn't design my the masterful chinese manufacturers though, i'm doubtful of any approval from Da Plane.

project.r.racing ouch :) I reckon it will be faster with the 4.3 diff and the way I go trough turn 2 now. I just need another run on the International at QR.

Sorry the ironing board on the back is made by APR so it will never have the Da Pain's seal of approval. However I think that I get on with my life without Da Pain's approval.

I tried to help Da Pain with selecting ITB's however the advice was for nought and there is a lot of decisions to be made when deciding on ITB's. My future advice for Da Pain will be use Wikipedia as it has served him well in the past.

Have a nice day Da Pain.

Dupain,
If you are serious about going fast and haven't done anything about complimenting the body bracing with a suspension upgrade then you are throwing good money after bad. Get on with it and then put in some more seat time, you will never look back. :)

I guess that Da Pain will explain how he calicrated the ECU. When Da Pain is concerned reality, truth and spelling are warped.

You really have it in for him don't you? Has he offended you personally?

He probably is a 13 year old kid with too much time on his hands and a lack of edukashion.

You're be old enough to remember that MC Hammer song .... "You Can't Touch This.." - That's how good the car is going. 95% right, give me another month to get it 100% and we can talk about ITBs.

Oh dear - this has got me back on the blood pressure tablets. I did have them ready to feed into the fuel tank to increase the volumable flowescense to the fuel pump to increase performance - drat!

Emily - was it 'recalcitrant' and did Paul Keating own that word? :roll:

Magpie - Blackwater is doing things to you! GIVE JAY BACK HIS CAR WITH THE IRONING BOARD!!
