CARBS!? You prefer carbs to fuel injection? Granted throttle bodies are not perfect but you have better reaction with fuel injection, direct injection the best. Why carbs? They are old outdated equipment and are very inefficient under varying conditions.

Not to mention they take time to change thier fuel mixtures when you apply the throttle, out of all fuel mixture devices carbs are the worst design you could think of, unless your going for el'cheapo with no regards to performance.

Granted NASCAR still runs carbs but thats more a heritage thing than anything else. The newer stockcars that run fuel injection perform much better than their carburated equivalent.

If you like them just because they bring back your younger years thats all and good but putting that aside performance wise there is nothing to gain with carbs.

Now only if every boat could do that they wouldn't need drawbridges =)

Quote from Bob Smith :The idea has some merit, it would be better if we could all get online and maybe a video feed so we could see the two groups of people. Although I'm not sure if London is that much better location wise, sure there are people local to London but there are people local to Southampton also. What would be good if there was one up north as well, for all the people that couldn't make the distance. I'm just guessing here but I suspect most of the people that can't make it to Southampton wouldn't be able to make it to London either.

I think your right. Southampton isn't really that far away from London. While London has lots of airports I think it would be better to find a company in the North that is willing to link up.

@Bob is it possible to ask the company your going through if they have done this type of thing before and if so which would they reccomend and/or want dealings with?

I agree with Tristan =)

2k mile checkup, jeez. I thought my 3 month 3k was bad on my SRT-4 =)

Dodge's new SRT model makes 300 BHP or a good 350-370 at the crank and they still get 28MPG so, this would make the EVO much easier to drive everyday. But then if you can fork out the cash to pay for one then you could probably be able to pay for the fuel too =)

Looks ok, will cost too much though =P I will stick with my SRT.

400BHP would be nice though coming out of a 2.0 =) (est. HP of MR edition 320 standard, still nice numbers though =) Dodge puts a 300BHP 2.4 liter into their new SRT-4's, which might be AWD next year. The Standard Caliber has AWD.

Well I won't be racing at MK this month. Money is tighter than expected and I cannot afford it, I hate not having money, makes me almost wish I was in the military again =)

I will try again for sometime in Feburary.

Well "Steam" works but it's very very very slow.

I am having problems also. I think its more an ISP thing though. Sometimes I can connect just fine, albeit significantly higher pings, while other times I am refused connection to the master server. I am also having problems with TS and accessing steam.

whichever the kart, I don't care! I would like to go karting though, does everyone agree with racing at MK?

It will be nice to see LFS do this eventually. I see LFS heading into the problem that system requirements will start going up once this is put in the game.

As for tracks I would like to goto MK. I have heard good things about it and I heard the karts themselves are very good too. There is a problem with people coming to the track though.

well the idea so far is Milton Keynes Daytona, price is between 50 and 75 pounds. these from what I understand are twin 200CC karts.

Quote from Gentlefoot :That's what I do. Just join a server with a combo you fancy and start a quali session. Before you know it a couple of people will have joined you. Once you get to about 4 or 5 racers it starts to snowball and you can often end up with a full server

I have seen that on our Muroc server too =)

I thought so too, but good karting tracks cost this much from what I have seen. Paintballing costs about the same. And it's good fun =P

Well I know they have twin200CC karts. From what I hear they are VERY good and the facilities and track are top notch. I have driven by the track many times and the circuits look very nice. This is outdoor.

Well there is the North Circuit GP Open Heats on the 21st of Janurary for 45 pounds. That sounds like a nice idea. Lets plan for that date and see if anyone else would like to come =P

That sounds good I will have to talk to Becky again but she said she would be willing to go.

Well since nobody has decided to respond I have decided to go to Milton Keynes.

Anyone willing to do the Ironman 50 or 60? Near the end of Janurary? the cost is 75pounds.
