Think set up would be were it could be changed the most given mine is set up very safe with soft springs and Arbs set full soft and its also toeing in lots at the rear, so set up more towards understeer. Once back together I'm going to set the toe parallel at the rear to see how it feels. What...

Just doing the normal Friday go faster bits search and started thinking about aftermarket diffs for the MR2 as I'm looking to enter the Javelin sprint series next year. Another reason is that this year at CSF19 I had a really good battle with a Javelin sprint series Clio 200 that was running a...

Awesome time for its power to weight mate, great driving as well. You're not leaving much, if anything out there. Ditching the passenger and better track rubber and you'd match the Teg's times I reckon. Cant beat these low powered N/A's tearing up track days. Bet the track day hero's in their...

BMW i3 REX does just that

90% of track built cars on here never even see a track, it's the CS standard. They're normally built to a decent track spec and immediately sold, lol.

My advise buy one already built. With £5k you'll get a decent track spec 197 with all the bits you've mentioned and more. Regarding slicks, if you're new to track then probably best to go with a semi slick tyre to learn a bit of craft as a full slick will break away much more quickly leaving...

Not sure manufacturers are trying to 'out harden' each other. Surly it's just a case of not getting the damper/spring rates right for the UK roads. Are they even long term testing these cars on shitty UK roads before release? Or maybe the majority are tested on the Continent with smooth roads...

Do these have the ZF8 box?

I'd like Xenons, heated seats with lumbar and the HK system but for my budget I may struggle. See what's about just after Christmas when I can take advantage of someones Christmas overspending 😉

This one does <5 miles away...auction though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-330d-M-Sport-plus/123958798209?hash=item1cdc852781:g:nxEAAOSwW4Jduv6j

There's an M sport performance pack one here a stones throw from my house :unsure: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-SERIES-330D-DIESEL-AUTO-M-SPORT-63-PLATE-88K-MILES-FSH-M-PERFORMANCE-PACK/133222791717?hash=item1f04b27a25:g:IS0AAOSw-RNdk4An

The MPS I had was a bit turd. It was FWD until it detected slip, but it was slow so by the time it pulled its finger and sent it backwards it just upset the car Think it's called Haldex or was similar to...

What type of AWD system is the Xdrive? Is it predominately RWD until it detects slip then sends up to 50% of the torque to the front or is it a proper AWD system like the scoobys and evos?

Thanks for the replies. The 330d sounds ideal. I see even the m sports doesn't come with high spec as standard like heated seats and pro nav etc but its a small price to pay for the package you get. I like the luxury sport spec as well as long as it had the m sport seats. Presume these will go...

@Simon_16v how are you getting on with this fella? Very tempted by a F30 330D at the price they have come down to recently, albeit the 2wd version. What MPG are you seeing? Any faults etc? The F30 328i is also at a good place in the market but being a 4 banger just think the 6 pot derv is a...

Aftermarket smaller steering wheel, fatty induction kit and RARB. Go used for the wheel and arb and you'll be in budget.

WOT + RWD + 400 ft/lb + Crest = :poop:

You only learn limits by going beyond them. (y)

Did remember this for my MPS tuning days, something like 1013mbar. Car is running 18psi which is bang on for a stage 1 map.

Don't think Shark Performance are around anymore.

Managed to log specified v actual boost v boost pressure (waste gate duty N75). You can see in green (from 2k RPM) a good pull, bit of a delay hitting actual but gets there and pulls hard. In red (from 3k rpm) never hits the actual and the N75 readings are lower at the beginning of the pull. I...

Working now trying to figure out how to unlock my laptop.

I'm experiencing a weird boosting issue with the Skoda. It started a few months ago with an intermittent issue when on the odd occasion I wouldn't get full boost at WOT. It went away but then came back a few months later but this time I wouldn't get full boost if going WOT over 3k RPM, under 3k...

Mainly the quality of crude oil and hydrocarbons.

Where are you getting that Shell uses a lot less Ethanol than Greenenergy?

You'll have to purchase a shorter spring, but again you'll lose damping resulting in worse ride and handling. https://www.fk-shop.de/en/home/

We aren't privy to the manufacturers individual formulations (BOM's) and dosage for their finished products however all the big players (power5) BP, Shell, Total, Texaco, ESSO take the same additives. They have a base grade fuel and add our additives to make them into the premium grades e.g...

Cleaning/performance additives and octane boosters.

Neither am I, I've only worked in the fuel and oil additive industry for over a decade 🤣

All the premium fuels have additives (octane boosters) to increase RON.
