guess what
this friday i went to a "car audio" exibition
You see the winner had this Ford Fiesta ..................
..............and somehow he managed to put 5000W in the car!!!
Managed? Sounds like it's kind of impossible to do? Why would you think that? Fiesta is indeed a small car but still it's not that hard to put so much Watts in it. The only problem is that you will probably have to remove backseats.

I have 1600W in the trunk of my Corsa and I still have 1/3 of my trunk free. 8)

LOL it's got 2. The one on top is more powerful (i think it's a 6/71 with an 8/71 on top).

That car is very famous now. I'ts won tons of awards, including the Summernats 18 Grand Chamion.

I've heard that it makes well over 300kW (i'm not sure what that is in HP) , but it's got massive amounts of torque as well.

And the car has been raced. To be eligible for the Summernats Grand Champion, you have to race your car in the grass event (which involves driving around a tight grass/dirt circuit as fast as you can).

Screen? You mean signature ? That was not Corsa, that was a pic of a Tigra.

This is my Corsa:

kW * 1.36 = HP

friends asked me if I went with them to the Auto RAI also... did it every 2 years (only is here once in 2 years (biggest carshow in Holland))
but I am not going anymore cause I am not paying money to see cars I can see in the showroom of a dealer ok there are some new cars but they are often in the showroom a couple of months later... the only new presentation is the new renault laguna... and some other minor things and I am not going to pay for that...
and for the exotic cars.... I am still wondering why people are going trough all the trouble of waiting for like 25 minutes to get a glimp of a Ferarri or any other exotic car..

few years back I always went with friends and so and later on I got a ticket from Toyota to go there for my job and stuff (reason: to see the competition and all that stuff bla bla bla...) but my reason was: it was a payd day of and he I got free drinks at the toyota stand! :D

it is a nice show but like all normal car shows... they aren't that special IMO

Yeah, that's true, it isn't anything special, but it was really cool to finally see the H2, Escalade and Navigator, I never saw them well before. I also found out that the RX-8 ism't a car to sit in when you have to sit in the rear.... IMO I find the new Focus to have the best position. Of course I have never driven a car, but the position behind the wheel was so good, I wanted to drive it right out of there :P

I visited the AutoRAI for the first time this year. I was impressed by the ammount off cars there.

And since we don't have a lot off car dealers in my home town that put the "special sports" cars on display the RAI is the event to catch them.

Some questions come to my mind:

1) How much amount of memory does your digi camera have?
2) How much time have you spent uploading/copying links?
3) World is full of ricers
4) Imageshack rocks

you mean there are only a few good tuners the rest of the country is filled with MORON RICERS!! that think a K&N filter and a remus muffler on their golf 2 makes it a race machine!
(with all the nessasery audio and useless bodywork...)
