    Make up a tuning lie

    Increase MPG & Decrease Fuel Costs! Fill your tank with 40% petrol, 15% diesel and 45% water. The combination of all 3 liquids causes a chemical reaction resulting in a fuel that burns very slowly yet produces a lot of power at the same time! This is similar to the technology they use in RAF...

    General/Advanced Fuel Saving Tips

    Fuel Saving Tips Whilst studying full time in University I work part time as a pizza delivery boy! Each night I cover about 60 miles and use £10 which is about 35 mpg. But this isnt good enough! My income is based on the amount of fuel I dont get mileage allowance, so the less fuel I use, the...

    Are long drives fun

    I drove 350 miles once to buy my Peugeot 206, obviously the drive up there was fun because I couldnt wait to get my new car! Driving it home for the first hour was also nice, new car, more power etc but eventually after being driving all night (and therefore getting sleepy) it started to get...

    Most hated drivers out of .....

    I 100% agree, some just had a death wish. A road leading out my town and into the nearest is a 40mph but very few stick to that, the average car will be doing between 50 and 70. Cyclists can be found along that road on a nice day, several feet from the curb. They should be on the pavement (even...

    Whats the naughtiest thing you've seen a police car do.

    I cant proove this but... It was a typical weekday around 5/6pm so Rush Hour was in full effect. I was behind a panda car at the lights, they went green and we drove down the road normally. A few minutes later, we hit a huge traffic jam. The cop put his lights on, did a 3 point turn and pushed...

    How high can a petrol engine rev.

    With each year that goes by, cars are getting faster & faster. The average diesel cars revs to about 5,000 rpm. The average petrol car revs to about 7,000 rpm. How do you think these statistics will change in the next 10 years? Turbochargers and Superchargers as standard on family cars? :D

    1 Hour Motorway or 1.5 hours A road?

    Yes, it does depend on time factor! If youve got somewhere to be then hit the motorway and boot it. If your just cruising then by all means, take the twisty road and have some fun :)

    Speed trap radar detectors.

    The only thing Ive heard of is the "snooper" which tells you the location of all speed cameras in the local area which you are traveling in and also wether they are turned on or off. I think they can be usefull to remind you to slow down but even if I was using one and it said the one ahead was...

    Using your mirrors

    Not sure what its called but I use the main mirror in the middle of the car a lot to check the cars behind me, making sure they dont get too close! I use the O/S mirror when entering motorways and before overtaking. I use the N/S mirror when im parking. However I dont check my mirror on...

    Emergency stops.

    Ive had to slow down quite a lot for some people who pull out of a junction in front of me at the last minute, but Im used to this. As Im driving along, If I see someone about to pull out, Im always ready for it. The most recent time where Ive had to stop hard & fast was about 13-14 months ago...

    Leaving your wheels angled whilst parked.

    I very much doubt that its Illegal. Handbrake failure is uncommon but not impossible. But surely, everyone here has the common sense to leave the car in gear when they park? I think leaving it in gear with the handbrake on is the best combination of parking safety. Handbrake failure &...

    Mid-life crisis happens at (yeah you guessed it)... mid-life. At the moment, you can expect to live to about 85 making the your mid-life age roughly 42-43. Seeing as I'm only 19 and with the average age of life forever increasing, I would expect my mid-life crisis to kick in around 50-55. Im...

    Road rage incidents

    Oh dont get my started, Im almost always dishing out rage at certain people: - Those who can see you coming, hesitate to pull out untill you are so close that you have to jam on. Then do 20mph all the way down the road and you have no overtaking oppertunities.

    Do you have an air freshner in your car?

    Magic Tree - "New Car Scent" Came with the car when I bought it, 2 months ago. Its starting to smell less & less so i'll probably invest in a new one soon. Probably a Pimp My Ride one, love them ;)

    Hitting the Rev limiter?

    Their far from clever as it goes... The fixed speed cameras are always in clear view and you always have more than enough time to slow down as you pass them. The mobile camera vans have caught out a few people, such as my mum and a few of my friends but they are usually in well known...

    Airbag Replacement

    Would the Cosworth wheel be compatible with my car? Would it use its own airbag or would it attach itself to the one currently in my car? If it has its own airbag, that sounds like an expensive fitting job to me, lol. And how much is the average cosworth wheel anyway...?
