Old times are the good times. Me and Phil created rover200.com after becoming mates when he delivered some speakers to me that I bought off him on the rover yahoo group. Don't really hear off him anymore, met Steve M through him too who was only up the road then good memories of the community, s2ki ...

Long time no speak. Was reminiscing the other day and so have been reading lots of old posts.

Looks like its all changed now.

10W-40s and 5W-40s will have very different viscositys in an engine. This is because the base oil viscosity (the thickness of the oil with no additives in) will be higher in a 10W grade

KV100s aren't that relevant in an engine that is running.

Si

Vtec is crap :p

Si

Magnatec isn't just marketing, it does have a component in which does work at lower temperatures than normal anti-wear.

Si

Look at a properly setup Pioneer Kuro and tell me Plasma is old tech.

I have a pioneer 5090 and it blows away any other TV I have seen, you get what you pay for.

Si

Regular oil changes are a good idea, but sometimes you are better off using a better, more expensive oil, and leaving it in for longer than just cheap stuff and think changing it more often offers you better protection.

This way it won't cost you anymore money but your engine is better protected.

Honda S2000 engine dressed 156kg Rover T16 (Turbo) dressed 153kg (Both measured by me, albeit over the years on different scales) Cheers Rob The Gearbox on the S2000 is between the passenger and driver and not one gram of the engine is infront of the ...

Munky, did you drive the dumbed down version? Ie post 2002. The 2000 does not understeer, infact it is a snappy bastid which will oversteer when provoked. Honda built the car as a 50th aniversary present to itself, the Engineers optimised it for the track. However the massive amount of claims by peo...

Nope. I even like dirving my housemates Volvo S40 !

What is wrong with it and what is this one trick you mention?

Si

I used to slate VTECs all the time back when I had my Rover, like you I had this thing about having a 'crap' and beating more expensive things and somehow thinking that was great. And obviously 'anyone who buys an expensive car is an idiot for spending money when a Rover is just as good' (lol!) Then...

Si

You're both on about the same car - the bini used the same box as the ZR/25. Not sure why you'd denegrate the original mini? Apologies, no wonder it was so long geared then :D I hate the old minis, pieces of shite confirmed by the fact my mates just bought a T reg one as one of the very last ones w...

Si

The mini box i.e. (midland gearbox) uses a 4.2 final drive and the same main shaft as a rover 100. New mini has same gearing as a 1.4 ZR on a R65. And a ZR does 70mph in 2nd at 65000rpm on ZR speedo. The s2000 is a nice car but you honda owners are still being fooled just like diesel owners. Feels ...

Si

Only thing about all this gearing lark is that it's been said that a car should be geared to the engine...I don't disagree with this but manufacturers don't always do this and not in a way which is purely for performance. I remember the fiesta turbo did about 55 in second which was oddly about the ...

Si

I think you have this all wrong. I upgraded from a Rover 200 with 270+ hp to an S2000. I'm well aware of how fast Rover turbos can be in a straight line. This is all intresting facts but at the end of the day the s2000 got beat. 230hp 1250kg expensive sports car got beat by a old designed rover 200 ...

Si

An S2000 will pull from 50mph in 5th. Easily in 3rd

I think your just making stuff up now

Si

Exactly - this is why Honda's are short geared. 9200rpm yet 60-65mph in second.

Si

gearing in the hondas is similar to the tubby coupe..as is the clio 2.0l all do around the 75mph mark in second..hardly short gearing. Unfortunately Senor Shen, thats incorrect. The EP3 is 58 in second, an S2k is the same, a clio is exactly 60mph at the end of second. As i just said, you gear a car...

Si

Steve, didn't you know that ZR Turbos are the new Nova C20LETs ?

Rubbish :p

Admittedly they aren't that fast in a straight line (200hp/ton) but the whole package is hard to beat.

Black brand new Nintendo DSi.

My girlfriend got two for Christmas and this is no longer needed.

Lol, 1cm of foam padding.

Stop building and start driving

Buy some banking shares and watch it at least double over the next year.

If you had done the same in Barclays in feb it would now be worth £4k

SLC took a bit fat chunk out of my annual bonus this month too :cry: doubled my repayment amount for this month and took over 10% of my bonus. Hopefully no interest will make up for it this month. I dont see how they took over 10%. It should have been 9%. SLC took over £800 off me last month, good ...

Not sure why we should compare waw with a game 3 years older made by the same developer. Because WAW is the WW2 follow up to COD3 I dont think modern warfare can be compared to either of the other games , and as such 3 and waw are the closest in sucession. The point is that they have hardly moved t...

I reckon the Mini Cooper S is ace.

Si

Have you got a rear left caliper?

I have a feeling they are similar to S2000 ones.
