This is great. Really appreciate all the effort everyone is going to on this topic.

Will try and find more about it with a view to removing it.

Hi, it is wired into the injection harness so we are loath to touch it. At least we know this is not an alarm my so he is not going to be left stranded f it fails.

Wow thanks!!

My son has just purchased a 2013 BMW X5 and we have subsequently found a device hidden away in the engine bay. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away (purchased from the estate) so unable seek information on the device. There are no names or codes on the device, but it lights up...

I would concur with Jon, Putting ITB's on an otherwise relatively standard engine is a waste of money ( I speak from personal experience!) ass thet will generalte hardly any improvement. ITB's come into their own with head mods and cams, again I speak from experience as Jon's with 226BHP was...

I'm pleased you are enjoying it... I think the engine is single best thing about the car!!

Hi, I fitted CL RC6 pads to the Clio because they worked really well from cold which is great for hillclimbing as the brakes never get hot, (unlike a trackday) hence std pads in the rear brakes. In the Fiesta I'm now hill climbing I'm using add pads all round and they are working really well...

Hi, Just seen your post, I had a lightweight flywheel fitted when the engine was rebuilt, there should be a receipt for it in the file I gave you. ...and yessit is quick isn't it!! Tony

I'll be watching this thread of course. The Yokohama A052's are THE list 1B hillclimb tyres for the road going cars as they heat up quickly so would be interested to know how they perform on track, otherwise they will probably sell well as there are approaching £200 a corner new.

Mine made 195 bhp on Jenvey ITB's with Gen90 ecu on a well worn (130k) engine.Now making 220bhp with rebuilt engine, cams and light head work. Mapped at EFI so genuine figures. Seems some rolling roads register 10bhp+ before you even start the engine.

When I fitted coilovers to my car I had the camber /castor/ corner weighted etc. professionally set up by Track Torque near Wetherby and the difference was incredible. I set the car up as best I could myself then tried it at one event ( ran out of time to get it professionally sorted) before...

I am in the process of fitting an alloy fuel tank. KTR have them on offer at the moment, still not cheap but a weight saving and because my Clio only gets used for hillclimbing and sprinting I can carry less fuel.

Have you thought of a motorbike silencer, there are quite a few titanium ones about. Only concern would be than May be too restrictive despite bikes reving to 10k they are smaller capacity.

I fitted a fibreglass tailgate but had to keep glass for competition class I race in, but still a weight saving. Mine was not great quality so fit is not that good. if you have the standard rear spoiler you would be suprised how much it weighs, so you could spend hours lightening it by cutting...
