    197 cup or 197 F1

    try finding more than a couple of cups for sale at any one time, they're super rare. I see plenty of R27's but only ever had 1 cup in I think.

    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    downgrade things. Sell un-necessary parts to raise the cash for the parts you need to finish it. Get it running in a much simpler but ultimately effective guise

    The 519 172

    I've not finished calibrating to give accurate numbers with confidence to be honest. In the region of 195bhp and 160lb/ft though. Dan's going to take it to FMS at some point

    Superchips for 200

    Superchips as a company are just very lazy. They have the ability to do more than pretty much anyone else with standard ECUs, but they just don't and do next to nothing with their remaps

    Fuel cap crap 182.... Universal cap for winter....

    warm the key up. If I ever get a frozen lock, the key goes in my gob until it's warm enough to get the lock moving. Takes a few tries sometimes.

    Valve stem oil leak

    I saw one recently that was using a massive amount of oil. 2 litres in 500 miles. When I got it apart, 2 of the stem seals were loose, with the tension springs round them that hold the seal having popped off. The valve guides were also heavily worn on 8 valves. I came to the conclusion to take...

    Valve stem oil leak

    I smell bullshit I've seen stem seals cause heavy oil consumption, but I doubt it's your problem. Even if it does need doing, £600 is too cheap for the labour and parts to do the job properly (full cambelt kit, aux belt kit and head gasket set is ~£300-£350) so they are cutting corners...

    Plastigage

    its cheap, one 3 inch strip is enough to do a whole engine, so an envelope should do 10+ engines. You hardly need to use any, 5mm pieces at a time.

    197 / 200 Exhaust Manifold onto a 172?

    I wouldn't bother, it's worse!!!! badly made so the welds at the flange crack, flexi's break and are a LOT of work to fix, built in cat. Avoid

    always use it, it's brilliant

    Blow Torch Aluminium Welding

    I tried it and had the exact same issue. I never bothered to try Mapp gas but they sell it in B&Q, although it's twice the price of propane/butane canisters

    yes, agreed a spec to downgrade to as part of the sale I'm not bad I guess ;)

    no, but there are cold running parameters and limiters in place until up to temperature Change your thermostat. Odds are it's never been done

    Netbook / tablet with keyboard

    I had a look at the Sony Vaio Duo 11 and it's really nice. Probably just as bulky as the labtop he currently has though. I wouldn't personally bother with an RT machine at the price they're at. Surface Pro when it comes out is probably the one to go for Asus Taichi keeps having release delayed...
