Well Said!...again

I havent seen a valver that can do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds but an R5 with 350bhp can, a lot of that comes from the engine obviously, so i think it is a good starting point. I know traction will be a problem, but its a FWD car so once you get past 220-230 its always going to be a problem. I know...

will be. need to ring em. whats the guys name?

well i put a deposit on it at the weekend, pick it up this weekend or early the following week. Im paying £3500 for it, nearly all ktec kit on it, engine rebuilt to competition spec Jan 02, folder full of receipts. Nearly all the cash has been spent on the engine its exactly what im looking for :)

Im picking up my donor next week, runs 22 PSI, and im trying to get hold of an RB206 roller bearing turbo. Then im looking at twin carbs when theyre available form GDI, with twin injector kit for each carb, big k-tec intercooler and oil cooler, and ill be on my way.

when are you getting it done? and what spec engine are you putting in? The one im going for is a little over 200bhp as it is at the moment.

Brun what oil you got in stock at the mo? G/F wants some for her 106.

option 3: get a 16v AND a GTT conversion, its the way forward, i hope :devilish:

Thatll be my fault then :oops:

youll have to catch us first ya b******s!

well give me a couple of months and ill let you know if a GTT in a 16v is pointless or not, I came to the conclusion throwing 100s of pounds at my F7P wasnt gonna make it as quick as i wanted. Throw it at a GTT lump and im hoping it will. Plus the F7P is one big heavy fecker of an engine, so im...

check my post in the For Sale if you need an engine.

i doubt theyre giving mad low quotes out, theyre part of the same group as Frizzel and my Dads been with them for years, cos nobody could touch em for quotes.

and then there are those of us, namely myself that they dont quote, for some unkown reason - mailto:B@stards">B@stards! But on the other hand if you need a personal loan i can highly recommend them.

get a Lumenition ECU - has a serial port for real time set up and modifications

They are a smaller boddied unit than standard shocks, basically the spring is coiled over the damper, hence the name. So the inside of big wheels wont hit the spring seats on full lock like on convential struts. Plus you can lower more without comprimising handling, and they are typically height...

its as fast as the donor cars engine they put in for you.

maybe :p

temporary insanty, thieving scum do that to people!

well i want a BB tuning turbo conversion but i dont want to spend 7k getting one. So im thinking buy a fairly highly modded, well looked after 5 (200-250hp). Take the engine, box, clutch out, buy the other ancilliaries for conversion new, and bang similar result, few £1000 cheaper. Then stick a...

anbody know how much of a weight difference there is between an F7P and a GTT engine?

what about a modded Skyline GTR (R33) (or a standard R34 if you can get one for that budget)

i was behind a megane today, and it looked really good, but then it turned in front of me and that bloody back window stood out like a sore thumb, even the tiniest bit more of a curve to it would have sorted it out.

The F40 is my favourite of the bunch.

just get in touch with the HPI peeps i suppose, the info must be covered under the data protection act somewhere so they have to change it if its wrong. My clio hasnt even got a bloody VIN plate, but the engine number, VIN no. and everything ties up.

try ragging the car just before the test if its close to passing the emissions

If a Kenwood will do you, get over to http://www.qxl.comwww.qxl.com look in the automotive/ICE bit, keep an eye out for kenwood kit from a company called Teclogic. They resell all the rejected/returned units from the factory and fix em up so they are like new, it could be a mechanical failure or...

Its not! The F40 (1987) had a nice smooth front, then came the F50 (1995) which is the first pic (with the F50 vent obviously) and then the Enzo, aka F60, which is a lot more angular and has some mad elongated F50/360 modena mix going on at the front. Its only recently come out so how have there...

what about ragging the balls off it straight off? I always try to warm my car up for at least 5 mins if its less than say 10 degrees, as i only do short journeys and im usually late (aka speeding). I like to see my oil pressure at 3 bar at idle before i set off and usually try to take it easy...
