good thing i never touched a thing then eh! lol

The bias is an ABS computer controlled system, the thing connected to the axle below is for the auto leveling headlights.

surely your F1 boys should be able to tell you exactly whats going on...wink wink nudge nudge ;)

surge? glazing is almost always a result of incorrect bore prep/running in. OEM now finish bores to the level where running in with synthetic oil is not required to plateau the hone. If the oil was too hot and lubrication was lost, its more likely that you would find the bearing area...

wasnt an issue with the oil IMO, as glazing would of occurred earlier on and not a consequence of oil temps.

not bad though, least he didnt blow it ;)

i think john would of nipped you if he didnt limit first and shifted faster ;)

thats kinda amazing how they can stay perfectly level. Its like they were made by the same people!

you have to remember that vents like that in that location are designed to work with flow through, as they generate a negative pressure differential at the opening, not great for the induction system which works best with the highest relative pressure differential.

If you choose to repair fridges, then live with your decision, unless your only a stock taker ;). i suggest, vodka and a big ass jacket, or one of out thermal overalls ;)

me and mike wear the same overalls! lol. But obviously small doesnt come with the nice pink liner that big boy does. I still dont understand how someone so unnaturally stunning ended up as a mechanic.

front bumper is way too high on all the new clios.

dont you have an oil cooler, and so you have an oil temp gauge?

shift alot faster, you'll gain loads

Weird, if you asked me without talking about an experience you had, then i would say boiled fluid would dampen the judder from pad deposition because air is more compressable. I think the better fluid solved it because it didnt boil, or didnt boil to the same extent, or maybe you just didnt sit...

agree, too much braking and too often. Std discs and pads have done me fine on track.

about 90% of the vibrations on brakes in my experience have come from pad deposition when people sit on the brakes after using them, you can clearly see the pad outline on the disc. I have never seen vibration because of fluid, even if it has boiled.

fluid breakdown? more likely to be pad deposition like olin said, and uneven transfer layer.

no

nothing new there then.

Was waiting for my overalls to dry. I peed in them.

certainly. Justification of the VFM or the effectiveness of the modification/s is ultimately down to the owner. My point is that changes in output between different days is only ever in the percentile range even if one is sunny and one is hailing. What we care about is air density, and...

there is an old man putting one into a rover vitesse on fuel injection. Engine reaches into the rear seats lol.

ATW, not AWT ;) Depending on the type of dyno you were using, i would be more inclined to look at the setup and operator if two cars were miles off yet compared quite equally on the road. And engine dynos have to be calibraed in exactly the same way as an eddy current (load hold), you...

you guys are all braking too much, all you need is 2 paper plates and some wooden spoons.

As an engine builder i understand that all we ever do is tune for torque with it being the actual forcable output of an engine. Just so happens that the more torque you build, the more bhp you naturally end up with. Thats my point, anybody who is tuning (proper) is always trying to build torque...

K2........oh...........bugger

2jz is a better 6 pot

i think you should buy fred a set of overalls, he seems to do all the dirty work ;)

torques directly related to bhp, so i care.
