Increased strength billet roller rockers for 8v and 16v HDi engines?
RE: A2 DT project - Dum-Dum - 14-06-2013
You couldnt design a low entry jack much lower than whats already on the market (about 80mm) without compromising strength and anything really lowtends to be light enough to use a non hydraulic race jack that is probably less than 20mm high

This. Manafacturers would already make them if it was possible to make them safely without costing shit loads.

A 32ft tall statue of the Virgin Mary, carrying Hitler through the African Desert, accompanied by Harry Hill, the Dalai Lama and Chris Tarrant. Followed by 4 camels, 1 Emperor Penguin, a Commodo Dragon and a blind leper. All cast in Iron. One piece.

Would it be possible to dress the penguin as a pirate?

The only good thing that can ever be done with a A2 is its crushed. They are crap cars!

That's exactly what I thought. Actually, that's not a bad idea, do it for your project!
RE: A2 DT project - Poodle - 15-06-2013
Niall, are you aware of just how much of a technological achievement the a2 was at the time of release? Miles ahead of it's time, which is why you barely see any about.

Fully aware of that but look at it!!!! Its soooooo ugly!
Thats like saying id love to go balls deep in Susan Boyle just because she may have a degree in sociology.
RE: A2 DT project - Grant - 15-06-2013
Why miles ahead? Apart from being aluminium and economically more advanced than others?
Still looks gash as f*ck.

RE: A2 DT project - Grant - 15-06-2013
Lol here we go.
G.C.S.E's - waste of time IMO. I have to go back to college to redo mine as the expire after 5 years and are not recognised by anyone. Bullshit!

GCSE's mean the square root of f*ck all. I removed them from my CV when i was about 20. A-levels don't seem to count for much either these days. I have five, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and General Studies (if that even counts
) and I don't ever remember any employer asking about them.

An ally body back then was a big thing! Even now days, its only normally higher end cars that are made out of ally.
RE: A2 DT project - Grant - 15-06-2013
TBF CF or FG is far more interesting, not to mention light. Now thats a big thing! lol

But neither are very safe in a crash so not really suitable for a road going vehicle.
All that aside though, its still a f*cking ugly car!
RE: A2 DT project - Grant - 15-06-2013
Amen to that!
RE: A2 DT project - Poodle - 16-06-2013
It is f*ck-ugly, granted lol. The whole design, the aero-dynamics, the engine placement, the interior design, use of materials, the access panel at the front with all your service items, literally the whole design from the ground up was brilliant. Features first seen on this car ten years ago are beginning to be commonplace on brand new cars at the upper end of the market.
