nah, i didn't like either of them. Mendez is a bit too plasticy for my tastes. hard to explain. There was abit of a shortage of totty in that film unfortunately

Tyrese was funny though but still not the same without Vin D.

A) he drove an EVO 7 in the film

B) If your believeing everything in 2F2F your need a reality check...... using NOS doesnt increase the boost on your turbo from 1 to 1.8 as it showed it did in the film.

C) you dont change gears 18 times to get to 0-100 mph as they do in 2F2F

D) Evo's and skylines and scoobies aint about looks they are about performance

E) get ya graphics on ya town car and you will be laughed at unless you've got a bodykit on it???? the only one that cud possibly pull it off is the parotech one........but if ur after jap looks buy a jap car!!!!!!

I read somewhere that most of those 2F2F cars look pretty shite close up anyway...
and i still think the 5 door EVO looks like a family mans car as well. And yellow? Come on! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!

A) OK, just assumed it was the VIII as its the latest and, as I said, they had one in the cinema (all it says in press is that its an EVO).

B) I don't believe everything I see in the film. I don't know much about NOS but I've read that it can increase your BHP by upto 40 or 50. Again, no idea how true this is as I have no experience of the stuff but I like the idea of pressing a button and having that woosh effect (ok, maybe not very pro of me but then I'm not a pro driver).

C) the gear changes do seem to be a bit often. They did it loads in the first film too.

D) they may be about performance but would you rather drive a Ferrari/Aston Martin/Porsche/whateversupercaryouhappentolike or a shopping trolley that could do 0-60 in 2 seconds? I want performance AND looks. All very well attracting peoples attention with a 500BHP engine revving away but when they turn their head and see you in a Fiat Punto, it will lose its charm.

E) Modification is about individualism. I wouldn't just get the graphics, i would want a whole look. I'm talking COMPLETE makeover, graphics is just the main thing I don't know about.

F) What can I say

If I ever get it done, i'll post pics just for you. At least it will be different to looking at a CC with Lexus lights, sports grille, quad headlights, Ecosse bonnet vents and all the other VERY standard mods that you seem to have.

yellow only belongs on the Fiat Punto. Because its manky.

The green one that Walker had in the first was lush, as was the Supra. Hard to make a Supra look bad though I reckon.

nos can add any amount to bhp to your car deopending on the size of the injectors. you car runs from a series of explosions and the nos is highly flammable. thus creating a bigger explosion. giving u more bhp. but u cant use it all of the time.

Also, I'm not looking to keep the car for too long, I was just exploring the possibilities of what could be done. I too don't like wild bodykits, a bit too laddish for me. I would prefer a rounder, sexier look. maxin' ain't my thing.

And no, I won't be booking it in for the works as I was recently made redundant and have no means to pay for it. Also, my baby is still under warranty so I certainly won't be doing anything to it until thats finished. I just want something that looks a little different to all the other CC's you see on the road and I reckon graphics is about the only thing that could really do that.

Already have the ICE in there though but will want to take that to my next car. having driven a convertible, i don't reckon I would want a car that didn't have an open top. I wouldn't mind an S2000, I'm partial to those and I know you are (or were) too Erm.

Wasn't having a go at your Mods by the way Erm, just pointing out that they are standard in the sense most other people on here have them. i just think whats the point doing it to have the same car as everyone else. Agreed, a car with a 110 BHP (I only have a 1.6) is not really worth tuning. For the money, you are quite right, I would rather have an S2000.

And yes, maybe only 1 other person has graphics but majority doesn't necessarily rule. Again, I was just looking for some advice and the "no" suggestion is noted. But I need full facts in front of me to sway me more than that.

vanquish. Now you are talking. My number 1 car. if I had Â£158k, I would certainly get one. the only thing is, I would need to buy a new house and wardobe to go with it.

stephen T · Post by **stephen T** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 1:13 am

it just wont suit the car standard i dont think. why not photoshop your car and see what it looks like.

As far a nitrous goes, the basics are it is not flammable, it just enables colder, denser air (and therefore more oxygen) to be processed:

Nitrous oxide does not burn, it is an oxidizer. It provides more oxygen, so more fuel can be burned, and the result is more power. The atoms in a nitrous oxide molecule are bonded together. The oxygen is not free, but fortunately the bond breaks down as temperature rises. At 565Â° F, the bond is broken and the oxygen is then free. Combustion temperatures are much more than 565Â°, so it's not a problem. By adding nitrous oxide to an engine, the total amount of oxygen is increased and other gasses that do not support combustion (mostly nitrogen) are decreased.

I have tried to do something on the PC but I'm crap at that so gave up. The best i could do was a big red splurge that looked like a kid had done it with a crayon

Wasn't sure if it would be a waste of money Erm as I don't know the costs which is why i was asking. I like the way it looks on mellies car and just thought it might be possible to get something tasteful done as I don't really go for brash effects. I doubt very much I would do it, it was more a curiosity thing as this stuff is all new to me.

This Diablo, is that the new one you are talking about? the stats seem to be the same as the vanquish but i reckon the vanquish is still the obvious choice as it just reeks with class. And its a British Bond car of course (but I liked it before it was a Bondmobile). But then of course you have the Bugatti EB110. Yummy!!!

nah the new diablo is the murceialgo (sp?) thats the one built by audi which is a much softer car than the old shape diablo........

the convertible version on the diablo is my all time fav car....... not many of them around tho
