- Whats an X box?
None yet, but I will get some to show all my mate's here!!!
Got it back yesterday and the problem was
.....nothing
The mechanic drove it up to his hoist, vibrating and clunking alone, ripped out the tailshaft, checked all bearings, universal joints, cv joints the lot, put it all back together and no vibration
Have noticed though that the hand brake (E-brake) is a lot tighter than before so maybe that could have been a contributing factor, I dont know
In any case im happy now that there is no noise in the thing, but I aint holding my breath
Ive got a sneaking suspision that the Auto 'box maybe on the way out

Thats impossible, I did 0-100 Km/H with the 90 hp 1.8 liter 8 valve golf in 12.5 seconds. And that thing is slow! I think you arent dumping the clutch at a high enough of an rpm. You should be able to get atleast 8.5-9 seconds with a crappy start and sloppy gear changes.
ok I drive a 1995 Golf CL with all the suspension mods, wheels, performance tires, camshaft, anti-roll bars, sports exhaust, huge ass stereo system and so on. BUT ITS STILL FRIGGIN SLOW! ( except in the corners where I havent seen anyone ever go as fast as me or my bros. There is a lack of driving talent in my area but alot of ricers... I guess no driving skill and ricer go hand and hand.)
Ah yes, my car would be 50 hp/L
you are missing a vital piece of the puzzle. My city is over 2km above sea level. 2km above sea level = thinner atmosphere = poorer performance in NA cars. A while ago an Impreza GT '99 *****slapped a M5 over the 1/4 mile for the same reasons.
At sea level, a 9 sec sprint would be a doddle....
Finally gonna get some exterior mods on the old 'Rex soon. Hail damage lately has led to a nice, fat $2,000 check from the insurance company.
First up are a set of brand-new 17"x7.5" Rota Downshifts in steel gray - hopefully will have in about a week. Second, a new set of Nitto NT 450 tires (225/45-R17) for all-season fun. Next, I'll have to replace the hood. The hail totalled it...nasty what golf ball sized hail does to aluminium.
So, a carbon fiber hood is in the works! I'll get photos once the parts begin to arrive...

In my driveway is a year 2000 Saab 9-3, Red, Pretty cool, got soem viggen parts added to it, but nothing to special
currently im driving my 84 corolla sr5..which is being in the process of being converted to gts....still drive my 90 crx...just not as much..and in my driveway, just hangin out is a 76 280Z...a restoration project.which sadly isnt going to well ( my corolla is diverting attention from it )
Yeah, they look a bit like the Prodrive GC06 wheel, but have thicker spokes. And, instead of paying ~$2,400 for the Prodrives, I'm paying $550 for the Rotas.
You're right, I've decided against the Nittos. I've found a set of Sumitomos that are rated much higher, have better snow traction, have better treadwear, and are cheaper.

Mine's a 1996 SWB Rav-4. Pretty quick as 4x4's go, and the perm. 4wd makes for great handling.
My choice of vehicles is limited to things I can fit my Great Danes into though!
