You can buy an app for your phone for a couple of quid to show g forces.

Seriously though, I think the short production life of this generation of Type R might lead to them being sought after in a few years.

Congrats mate, I'll be totally honest and say it ain't my bag at all but I seriously doubt you'll lose so much as half a wink's sleep in an entire night over that one. :D
Seriously, hope it's everything you want it to be, fill yer boots!! :)

There was a chap at work who proudly worked on that principle for years until one day his wife told him she didn't love him anymore, was moving out, and would be getting a divorce.

So I think one has to be careful with that approach.


:D

I bought the GT4 because the sales guy called my bluff and my planet-sized ego won't let me lose face, so £90k later etc. (not that I regret it for one millisecond, but I hadn't even consulted *myself* over this near six figure sum ludicrous racing car purchase, let alone my long suffering spouse). Anyway, I put the phone down, having sealed the deal, with a mixture of elation and incredulous realisation of the "what the fuck have I just done" variety... I rang Mrs C straight away, and, not even knowing what to say, just blurted out "b-babe, I've done a bad thing"

About 3 seconds of interminable silence, followed by "you bought a fucking car, haven't you". Gaz would have been so proud. :D

Got home that night to two glasses of champagne and a hug. My word, they broke the mould with that one. :luv:

Only thing I'm not keen on is the black interior, but the options list was otherwise my perfect example of one so I was prepared to overlook it.

I'm very very tempted to chop in my Type R for an immaculate black Subaru Impreza which is for sale up the road from me.

I should probably wait to see if I get a job miles away first though, as the fuel bill would kill me.

WRX? STi? More details needed.

Personally I'd keep the Type-R, I've never been keen on Imprezas (or Evos for that matter) - rally cars should look sporty, goddamnit.

Use the money to spruce up your Type-R instead.

There is no money so I've decided against it anyway. Going to have a look at a 2002 Mercedes CLK 320 Avantgarde instead. Only 2 miles away so worth a look.

Percentage wise, it is the same uplift in power as changing the throttle body in the EXCITING ROVER

331bhp and all that torque makes for a serious Q-car!
I assume there's no danger of blowing up the gearbox or whatevs?

I guess you just need to make sure that the rest of the car is suited to that kind of increase in power.

Like on the S4 it's fairly trivial to get them up over 410bhp (from the standard of 328bhp), but for example the brakes are already 'borderline' for the power and speed of the car (as I found out with some pretty substantial brake fade during some 'spirited' runs over TT), so if you take it up over 410bhp you're conjuring up a fairly dubious combination of too much forward grunt with not enough stopping power.

And that's before you consider the extra stress and strain on all the various other bits that make up the drivetrain and gearbox and all that shizzle - which were designed to be a good fit for how the car left the factory. (The S4 is noted for eating its mechatronic system, which is the clever bit that controls the DSG, when you crank too much power through it.)

Personally I'm an advocate of leaving cars at stock, unless you're not fussed about hassle and/or bills as a result. If you want a car with 331bhp, why not just buy a car with 331bhp?

Should it matter? Surely a set of brakes takes X distance to stop a car going at 40mph, regardless of how many bhp got it there? Or is the assumption that more bhp means you're just going to be going faster.

Well, with much more power, you're inevitably going to be presenting your brakes with faster rates of acceleration than otherwise would be the case, when they're applied (and therefore more likely to be applied more sharply than they would've hitherto been, so it's a bit of a double whammy, really). It's not about static, steady speeds motorway-style; the reality is a far more dynamic accelerative/decelerative picture.

Physics innit.

If I have one 1500kg body travelling at a steady speed of 70mph, and another 1500kg body that's accelerating very rapidly but whose instantaneous speed was also 70mph at the precise moment brakes were applied, which do you think will require the greater braking force?

I get in trouble doing this, but assuming the acceleration is no longer being applied, surely the answer is that they require identical braking force?

I get in trouble doing this, but assuming the acceleration is no longer being applied, surely the answer is that they require identical braking force?


Okay, consider a rifle bullet that weighs 10g that's been fired (the force is removed), say one hundreth of a second after it's been fired. It's travelling, say, at only 5mph, but it's accelerating like fuck. Now, compare this to a 10g weight that's travelling at 5mph steady speed. If you put your hand infront of the rifle bullet to stop it, it'll blast right through skin, bone, steel sheet - it requires shitloads of force. The steady speed 10g weight harmlessly bounces off.

F=ma

See me after class, C-

:D

(I'm going home now)
