"Now,fitting shouldnt take no longer than one hour max."
doesn't a double negative mean a positive, ie are they saying it will take more than an hour to fit or are they just no very good with
they're grammmer.

Do they not understand, people buy turbo kits for power, not for the sound they make  ....
Isn't 130db louder than a jet engine on take off?

HA HA HA HA HAAA HAAAAAA
Anyone bothered visiting the site and watching the demo? They forgot to make it actually sound anything like a dump valve!! Sounds rather
more like a door opening in Star Trek! Hilarious!
Loosers!

They're grammer Ned? Tut tut.
I'll just wind the window down and make a Pssshhh noise when I change gear, that'll save me £149.95. (It's their grammar Ned  )

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i heard about such devices 3 or so years back - thought it was bollox then too.
Since when did the chavs that buy those things look for any practical aspect?
A distant relative (on my wifes side I might add) bought a corsa with 'cool wide wheels and lowered suspension'. Just what every 1.2
chipped vauxhall needs to corner at 45mph around the high street.
The slight downside of this mod was that he couldnt put all his mates in the car as the lowered suspension would allow the wheels to rub the
undersides of the wheel arches....

How long before the MP3 file is out there for £1.49 on Ebay
Thats made my Day...
Havent had a Laff like that since I dont know when!

A mate built his own flamethrower kit for his twin turbo Rover SD1 that he used for chav-baiting!!!!!
This one premixed propane and air in an old C02 cylinder then detonated it through a blast pipe. Reckoned it would just about make a whole saxo
cha-vtr bounce off the ground
Had to take it off after some plod altercations, not to mention that he wasn't too happy with all the stuff taking up his boot space!

You're right! Reminds me of Airplane 2, when they were going through the moon-base doors...
Apart from that, note the way the car in video ISN'T accelerating at an incredible rate - my 1300 Yaris can do better than that, and
that's just my bog-standard tin-top!
Anyway, who needs a 'pshhht' when you've got a tuned 1660cc x-flow like mine, with a - er - 'lively' exhaust system?
And as for a Locost with an R1 or Fireblade...
Anyone who buys this sort of chav rubbish comes under the heading of "plonker", as far as I'm concerned

Ohh yes!!!
That's why my mate loved the Rover SD1 V8! Rusty and metallic brown but with a manual box and Janspeed twin turbo conversion on a 4.2 litre
bottom end!!
Just great for sitting a the lights next to chavs in saxo vts's and corsa gsi's and totally humiliating them!
The flame thingy was just a pi155ed-up saturday night fabrication after he saw some tosser showing off with one in the chav car park. Was originally
supposed to launch stuff like rotten fruit but decided that was a bit dodgy so decided to stick with the grenade-like explosion that it caused. Put a
solonoid controlled bleed into the inlet piping after one of the turbos, and fed it to the old co2 cyl under the boot, then had a solonoid (old
nitrous one, the car did run nitrous too but lunched gearboxes then!) connected to the propane bottle in the boot to feed that into the co2 bottle as
well. Spark plug in there fired by a button on the dash lit it up and fired the result down some 3" stainless pipe under the rear valance.
All extremely childish and stupid but very funny to fire it up every now and again, looked like the trotter's van in only fools and horses as
after the bang all the smoke trailed out!! Didn't half shake the car when it fired! (and it would fire a spud about half the length of the
carpark at santa pod!)..............................
hang on a minute, shouln't be saying all this on here, could probably sell plans for them on ebay!!
