how many dam bricks would it take to get those wheels off. what kind of criminal runs around with a fork lift to use to steel those things anyways.

these guys always show up to track days at our drag strip and sit out in the pit area playing their loud music. luckily i can drown them out now. i just got the electronic cut offs onto my car and they are linked to the side exaust (no mufflers .... for race reasons) . one rev from a 408 with 15lbs of boost is enough to blow anyones eardrums.
take that unholy mass of a car

My car has a set of alloys and a huge exhaust so I have to play my music loud to drown the noise of the bloody exhaust out but I didn't put them on there they was already on there when I brought it and the only reason I brought it is because my sisters boyfriend sold it to me for £500 when it was worth at least £1500 {very nice bloke I might add} and the car is really nice other than the exhaust I don't mind the alloys as there only 15 inch and that is the standard size for my car anyway. The thing what bugs me is when someone has got a 26 year old nova with a astra engine, 18 inch wheels because they ripped the wheel arches out and a whole body kit, a nightclubs worth of sound system and 2 tone paint. I mean they must pay about 10 grand on these cars that are worth £250 it's just ridiculous. I would much rather buy a brand spanking new car that actually drives smoothly rather than jumps along because it's so old.

I am pleased so many of us are like minded on this subject. :)

One of my sad pleasures is watching the pathetic little cretins revving up at the traffic lights ready to make their great break from the lights. It ius so funny to imagine their stunned spotty faces as they see see the rear end of my LANDIE way ahead of them! :lol: In the right gear that torque can produce a rather interesting if short-lived surge. Far more satisfying, however, is using the size of the beast to curb the tailgating antics of the boy racers and rep-mobiles. :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

Yep... my 3.5 V8 Range Rover also sees off most boy racers, which is hilarious. They don't expect a huge lump of aluminium and leather to move that quickly, but when it want's to shift, it does.

When I was 19, a mate and myself built a rather tasty Mini... by carefully crafting together the best of two Minis with a reconditioned MG Maestro 1.3 litre block and gearbox. The 'boy racer' machine of the day was an XR3i.

Our aim was the ultimate boy-racer stealth machine... i.e. to build a vehicle which the oiks would have a go at, and fail. We succeeded!

The fools couldn't believe their eyes when a little brown Mini tore up the road alongside them.

Oh how I loved the good old days!

Although I'm not proud I can also admit to taking of at the lights and leaving a boy racer in my wake. They all seem to think that if your car doesn't have the bodykit and exhaust of a fighter jet, it'll not be that fast.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.
