    moto gp

    He seems to be taking time to learn his craft and progress towards the front of the field, barring injury I can see him taking a title in the not to distant future. Just down to Honda to put the bike underneath him. I can't see Danni ever taking a title, his small build may help him off the line...

    F1 Season 2010

    Lets forget who's better than who etc etc They all have the drives we would give our left testicles for. I can't get my head around the fuel saving mode they were all supposedly running? Could it be, because of the close proximity of the front four, none of them could back off, therefore...

    Oil additives

    Not sure about modern additives as oil has moved along since I read a related article, it suggested that many of the components of additives could be removed by your oil filter. I think you'd probably be better saving your money and spending it on regular oil changes

    Powerflex bushes worth while?

    The case for not changing bushes I drive a completely underpowered 1.6 A4 It has 80k on the clock and from the amount of wallowing and movement during cornering I'd say the suspension and bushes are all pretty much worn out. And you know what. It feels fast:laugh:

    Powerflex bushes worth while?

    Only clutching at straws here but could it be that Powerflex type bushes aren't used simply because there's a chance of premature failure. Manufacturers have stayed away from fitting braided brake hoses for this reason. (The flexing could cause the braid to fail due to work hardening) Just a...

    Powerflex bushes worth while?

    Cat among the pigeons 2 When using a solid bush, would you have an issue with premature wear on the arms and suspension arms other than the friction type wear that aragorn suggested may occur?

    Powerflex bushes worth while?

    I've read several posts where people have said they wouldn't recomend powerflex bushes. My question is why? Surely the less flex in the chassis the better. Has anyone got a link to a post or write up on these?

    When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

    I was out for a beer awhile back and got talking to some low life's who spoke freely about their house breaking exploits They said that many criminals are now switching on the deep fat fryer the minuet they get into a property. If you disturb them they throw it on you. Not much you can do to...
