I'm not going to waste my life thanks.
It's obvious you listen to nothing anybody says, so, I'm not bothering.

Not that i'm aware of, surely, if you're wanting to prove us all wrong so badly, the drive across to York would be worth it. Plus, you can find out your 1/4 mile time at the same time too...

I already inferred that it wasn't worth going to York. Will you settle for a video confirmation of GPS with speedo at a steady speed?
Or are you not bothered now

Just what I thought you would say. I would listen to you if you could back it up with something

He said "Railroader, do you have a 2(two) prong head? They're faster iirc"

If you can make perfect sense of it. Tell me what he means by prongs? Does he mean antennas like on an alien, or does me mean horns like on Hellboy?
Assuming that the gist of the sentence means, that two prong[ed] heads are faster than normal heads- how come you can work it out and I can't?

I am more than sure he means the ecu as in the single plug and triple plug ecu's on the vtr and s. I do not know that much about the 1.4's to that extent

LOL,this thread is total fail, OP is an imbosill.
If saxos are sooooo stiff why do they have a saftey rating of 2?!!!!!!!!
You gonna go tell every race car team they shouldn't run a cage, f'cking LOL.!!!!!!!

Iv got a data logger, which uses GPS for speed, and can time as it is used for lap timing etc, it can aslo calc 0-60 average speed, average lap time, fastest lap time round a circuit etc. I can make a loom up to run it off the 12v ciggie lighter, then just need to connect it up to the ecu rpm output.
I will provide this for you, and set it up, all you have to do is come to hampshire.
