  3. Films!?

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    If you're still watching Fast and Furious films and expecting a solid plot line, with no questionable physics etc. Then you're definitely missing the point.

    Questionable physics and the odd plot hole I can deal with, but the whole film is just one huge plot hole. Not even the timeline of the film makes sense.

    Anything with the 1.9tdi VAG engine won't disappoint for ~£3k. Will get you a nicely specced model of any car with that engine with reasonable mileage and condition. Maybe Octavia estate? Or if you feel fruity, go all out and choose an E46 320d touring. Plenty of car for £3k also.

    Thought about a Marino custom build to your specific geometry requirements, then source a mix of 2nd hand and new parts?

    Andrew Chai, has pretty sweet looking Marino mod build.

    I didn't even know that was a thing to be honest! I think I will stick with this Aorta for a while and see where my limits are with it. But that Marino idea does sound good!

    Aforementioned shin damage caused by this snap! Oxidisation indicates that they've probably been cracked for a while and I just overlooked it. Monty 158 cranks too so I'm guessing they're as old as the hills!

    Yeah I guess. But on the flip side if he's bought that car on finance over say, 4 years, you'd darn well hope the car would last at least that long provided it is kept up with service intervals. And in his defence, when dropped off for a service the idea is that the car gets checked over, so he could well say that this was missed too. Whatever happens, it's good viewing!

    What's his beef? The car's done 35,000 miles, if it was a manufacturing fault it wouldn't have taken 35,000 miles for him to do this.

    I've had Fiat refuse the warranty on a car because the customer missed a gear and the ECU logged 10,200RPM then it started drinking oil.

    Customer missed a gear, their problem...

    That's quite right, but this was a known issue by Audi. They basically just kept quiet about it when Mr Beef complained and denied any knowledge of such an issue (would have to recall all affected models); to which he did this stunt. Audi then tried saying they offered to fix the car free of charge all along, which was a lie. Hence continuing to keep the car outside. I think its been there for around 7 months now! Also, it could well take 35k miles to show issues, especially if it was something like the turbo oil seals that were defective and causing the oil consumption.

    sorry, but isnt tht what rev limiters are made for?

    Yeah, if they was hitting the rev limiter every day, i could understand, but for a one off occation (escpecially because the engine didnt stop them from doing it), then thats bullshit!

    Drive along at 70mph and then select first gear and lift the clutch. Then tell me your engine is fine as it was a 'one off' occasion..

    I drive past that multiple times per day as my work is on the same industrial estate. Mr Beefnah has no f**ks to give! Word has it that his plan is working though.

    Any pointers? Just got a bike after ~4 years break so basically a noob again. My own criticism is that I should have my hips further back, slow down a bit and also try to do smaller and more frequent correctional hops?

  19. Avid XO or BB7

    Just bought a mod yesterday, it has an Avid XO hydro disc on the front. It feels ok, but not fantastic. I haven't fiddled with it yet as I have a BB7 laying around that I could use instead, just wanted to see opinions of what would be the better brake to use? As if I go for the BB7 it'll need at least a new cable and a service so I thought I would ask before faffing around.

    Use whatever in terms of pedals, i've used some of the newer-style thin platforms and really like them (had the Inspired Teams, and got some Nukeproofs on the new bike which seem to be very similar if not identical) - would recommend that kinda thing for sure.

    I had to buy some before I went down there to make sure it rode OK, got some DMR V8's that will do the job for now, but as they degrade I will give those a whirl! Thanks dude!
