let's do this shit

>>16170452
the clarkson part isn't even that much of a hyperbole.

I'm used to big landbarges and when I drove a twingo with a dead speedometer I drove several times way under the limit (honking intensified) because it felt so much faster than I'm used to.

amazing how the car size makes a difference.

>>16170585
It´s not just the Twingo, my 107 feels the same when ich hit 100mph+

>>16170646
that's true.
tiny shitboxes can be scary as fuck at top speed.

>>16170729
Bikes seem terrifying for this reason.

>>16170734
sadly never rode a motorcycle but I can imagine

>>16170729
I did go up to 173km/h according to my GPS, the Tachometer only goes to 170...

>>16170734
Bikes seem terrifying because most drivers are careless, fucking retarded or just assholes.

I've been in the sidecar of what is to bike guys something underwhelming, still scared the shit out of me.

I think being in the sidecar would be more scary for me than actually riding the bike.

I even feel uncomfortable being a passenger in a normal car when the driver is either a noob or driving too dangerously.
Don't like to be not in charge.

>>16170791
must be in good shape then.
cars that old tend to drive like wet noodles.

>>16170851
It's good that there are millions of parts, because you'll break down millions of times.

>>16170864
You'd think that, but it doesn't. The MGB is simple enough that not much can go wrong on it. Pretty much the only thing that ever gives anyone trouble is the Zenith-Stromberg carb, and that's because of how delicate it is when you're adjusting it.

>>16170957
lol'd.
also, they really put effort in making a sexy shot of that rust spot.

over exaggerated the subframe but yeah I found a crack in it like a week ago

>>16172957
I had a e46 and mine tore right through. Luckily bmw comped the repairs and gave me a brand new 335 loaner while they fixed it.

Literally all of my wat

>>16174573
I took mine out hooning last night and I didn't even fling it into the corners and it was still understeering like a pigfucker. It's my first FWD car, didn't know what to expect really.

>>16173272
According to it i was driving half filled tank...

You have to load the front tires with trail braking to reduce mid corner understeer

Also you might need a stiffer rear roll bar

>>16175230
>10mpg
>23,5 l/100km

WTF are you driving?
I never got worse than 6,33l/100km or 37 mpg with deflated tires and speeding.

>>16174729
>what is lift of oversteer
Try braking it in the corner, if that doesn´t help use the handbrake.

>>16174729
>SVT focus understeering

Your suspension needs replaced. the SVT was one of the only FWD hatchbacks that oversteered over understeered.

>>16175523
not a svt, I have the ZTS. I've been toying with putting svtcoils on it, but its still stock right now.
>>16175379
handbrake is such a waste though. I don't even want to drift it, I just can feel when it wants to keep going straight and its scary.

>>16175543
The SVT base suspension is way better then the base model. Shouldn't even be compared.

>>16175543
Thats why I said you should use it if if normal braking in the corner isn´t enough.

>>16175375
A carbed V8 from the early 80s, obviously.

>>16175711
I would recomend cleaning the carburator and deactivating the booster pump.

Got a CX with some nicer rims from a newer honda on them, but i dropped about 600 into it so far as i replaced the S20 Axxx with a S40 and did a mani swap. Also i tried to drift early on likea moron and ruined those some expensive tires.
