Can that R32 stop just as quick or is it using a parachute?

I replaced my street lights with LED 501's Nice pure white look though not blindingly bright or anything but then street lights arent supposed to be.

I accept that it would cause bore wash and other problems but Iam interested for other reasons

They definetly bite better then normal pads straight off, though your'll find this improves even more as the...

The 1.4 has that much power ? wow :o But still a second slower then the 1.6 coupe, due to weight prehaps

I think the sohc and dohc version of the D series (1.6) were good for 110 and 130, maybe slightly more if you mod intake and exhaust

Nasty stuff, rear tyre damage is one of the worst things that can happen. Oversteer in a FWD aint pretty, great move on pulling the handbrake I shall remember that one if all else fails.
