It isn't my website... I was redirected there by a friend who got it from another friend etc..

Anyway, found out you can *ahem* maybe bypass the registration process...

Not sure if it needs registration to work still...

Am using Net Transport to download. YUMMY!

ps I think his criticisms of the clutch is a bit naff! I mean, we all know that the stock clutch isn't really built to handle the kind of punishment that the FQ400 will be hammered with

And the race in 6th gear with a Fiat from 30mph?? Well, there is such a thing as "downshifting". Of course, it does demonstrate the problems with the turbo lag.

Been told the stock MR turbo is actually good for up to 400bhps too.

That's with a damp track surface.

And it appears they didn't make full use of the MoTeC e.g. antilag, launch control etc.

They need to find something bad about the car, because a car cannot be perfect !

But who care about that stupid 6th speed race!

The evo beat that Lambo ***!

Proud to own a 2.0L Evolution

Exactly.. it seemed like Jeremy was nitpicking on the clutch. It is a twinplate designed to handle the abuse that people like him were bound to inflict on the FQ400

Great video. Now thats what I call a test drive. The Stupid 6th gear from 20 mph was dumb and so was the dumping the clutch with no RPM.
