hour and 20 absolute max!!! I used to go to the Halfway House for car meets quite a lot, which is 10 minutes up the road from Rayleigh, it's an easy trip.
no, not at all, they've just listed a lot of vehicles wrong. It's really not hard, just order parts for a cup. This is all I do. I really don't understand the complication, if you don't know what you already have.......LOOK!!!
Mark, that timing belt price is wrong by £25 (should be £125.01+vat, which is already massively over priced)
put in a 172 cup reg number, and you'll be given a motrio alternative offer option. This is an SKF made cambelt kit which has the same warranty as a renault boxed kit
I've had them made with a slash cut. I can get them made, special order

well I could get them to fade to literally nothing in 3 roundabouts in a 205 gti. This would have been 2002ish. Since then I've had them disintegrate and fall out of the caliper entirely on 2 separate cars. In over a million miles of driving that hasn't happened with any other brand of pad...
I think i've just realised that you're refering to the AT-Power DTH throttles which do indeed run a significantly smaller butterfly (oval port shaped, and area equivalent to about a 40mm round butterfly). If so then I understand where your opinion is based. Inferior kit made with some very odd...
Really not a Chris Harris fan, but I watched eery second with a smile on my face. That's honestly the kind of vehicle I would love to be able to be building one day. Pipe dream maybe, but got to have ambition :)
DTH's are just rarer!! they only make them for about half a dozen engines at the moment, so of course you don't see them so often.
Diameter of the butterfly.....well the DTH's are a 45, which is the right size for the engine. You can buy SF's and DCOE's in a range of sizes, the Clio setup from...
I've not personally used the DTH setup on a high comp engine yet, but K-tec have on several and they work well.
Injector position (distance and angle) were experimented with a fair bit in flow modelling to get them right
1 10m roll of 2 inch wide should be more than enough. Just make sure you get the overlap even, pull it as tight as it will go, and seal with fire retardant laquer
Bemused by this. Just isn't true, looking at it purely from a hardware point of view a specific set cannot be a downgrade from universal parts bolted together.
You may not like the rest of the package, which is down to preference, but the the DTH kit usually give a better peak torque.
Whe I do...
I loved it on my mk1, made 185, up from a standard 147 (Spider engine) With catcams and Omex, on adapted honda fitment OBX throttles
Loved it in my 172, used Catcams 421s and Gen90 with Jenvey DCOE 48s
Working on it for the 197
oh and for objectivity, I used to run high power turbo's too ;)
last one I did, I managed to swap them around until I only had to buy 2 new ones. Took a while (car sales place wouldn't pay for a set.....or anything for that matter)
