Very weird sensation which may work on track but certainly doesn't on the A40... It switches positions depending on speed. I can't remember the three different speeds but say your driving at 68mph round a long left hander and creep to 69mph (or whatever speed it is) the rear wheels instantly...

Nice one Gaz, you'll love it. I drove a fair amount of FD's before deciding on the R32 and glad I went with that choice. Hicas delete, decat, done. Paid about 7500 back in 2006, wish I'd bunged it in storage rather than selling it

Think I saw it once in a magazine?

my friend had one too, massive dump valve on it. px'd it in the scrappage scheme so it's probably a drain cover now

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner secretly this is what I always wanted you to do. Having had a boosted clio, I dont think it suits the car's character tbh. NA revvy trooper, thats where it's at sorry to hear the news about the Fiesta x

^flol, nice try batman Chris, you may have said it earlier but you didn't number it, therefore it instantly became irrelevant x

Love making one off items, satisfying isn't it. When you going to spill the beans ;)

option 3) keep it all secured and out of eye sight somewhere and in 24 months come back to it with a fresh head, fresh bank account when Naomi has work sorted and fresh ideas. Fresh BOOM, another great idea bought to you in association with B-Spec Skunkworks

I <3 your great ideas! Just read the whole thread, wish I'd known about the E30 sooner, I fancied a challenge

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner The piston was vaporised lol, never even got to see it. Sadface

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner It's a shame to hide these things inside a block :(

Cash back hander required? X

I miss skiing too Sam, usually got every year but got married this year which set that plan back. Adrian, sure will be biking. Staying with 'downhill from here' where ever they have a chalet in Les Gets, never been biking in the alps before but cannot wait. August 3rd, you can be our personal...

Jealous, much! I've recently said to the wife if I didn't need to work, I would be spending circa 1/2 the year in the alps! Will be in Morzine next August, technically LesGets but only over the hill ;) Those roads are epic, we did an alps road trip a couple of years ago and the mountain...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner No, I appreciate the gearbox, they're probably made of a similar smelling cheese to the Clio anyway. They're not amazing in the sense that they aren't coming out of a *insert motorsport brand* box and full bollock off race spec type forged mutha chucka piston...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Having had sc and turbo'd F4R's, I say that turbo is my favorite if I did it again. And as Gray says, I'd follow that route of meggy stage1. However, I personally would also be tempted with a meg box too, but thats just my opinion and many disagree...

Woah, how much has happened in that timescale too! On to another three great years

Me and the wife have been looking at Shar Pei puppies online today.....must resist

Doesnt mean anything to the original owner either now, as you know ;) Bet she sounds great now, i miss taking it out for a trip to town

£4k on wedding catering, 90x BurgerKing whopper's would have been a safer bet! I mean, seriously, how hard is it to cook a new potato? Cost more than a race loom, probably equally as edible!! ;)

^bad times then. Hope things eventually solve themselves. I'm also off to court soon, it's an easier process than I thought it would be... Enough of the usual company slating, back to the 'let's build a race car' thread. Simples x

dont forget there are plenty who have been happy with the services of TDF, myself one of them.

Well done Mark, sounds like horrible conditions to be racing in. Bet you were glad to get it finished with, diminishing light etc!

That's cus' I was beating you with a spatula ;) James, you're trying to kill yourself with the fuel, nutter. I ran a length of cable outside the car and plugged it to the battery externally. Am I right in saying the two slightly thicker cables were power, one of those being black and...

I'm 90% sure RS will change it as a matter of course after one snapped on their roller if my mind serves me correctly. Chip, would'nt I be correct in saying that even on a 330bhp SC install there is no more stress/force on the charger pulley than a 230bhp install as it's rpm regulated? Edit; of...

I don't think TDF can be blamed for that one at all, it's been known for some time that the pulley needs a megane/keyed version to prevent this happening, RS and Ktec have had them slip in past times Under no circumstances am I sticking up for TDF here and just throwing something into the...

I don't know the history of the engine tbf, picked it up rattling bottom end and got 20 miles before the call to the rac lol

As the picture I posted a few pages back of the rod that went through my radiator, no piston or snappage of rod. But I know arp bolts weren't fitted but that was only at about 1500rpm!!!

looks great, cant wait to see it on the car

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Ouch, sorry to hear about the engine but it sounds like it had a good run at the ring and spa I wonder what it looks like inside, this was one of my attempts when I was on a track day at Leguna Seca (read...
