The RT, as standard, has 80bhp. And with those mods is probably about 90hp. But will probably be a lot smoother and livelier with it. And the Saxo...well its a Saxo. Paul

Whats a V1 detector? Paul

Erm not quite, with a lot of work (and in the words of Nick from Hill Power) "you can hold up a valver upto 60mph, the it will start to overtake" Or something like that anyway. Basically he was saying that with some headwork (about £1.5k worth, you can have acceration that will be enough to...

Ah right, cheers. Paul

Are we talking James Bond style? (think Tomorrow Never Dies in the car park scene) Paul

So the only answer is the following: MORE VOLUME! Big loud exhaust or crank up the stereo, dround the tick out. Paul

Is that new mate? So I just need the calipers then? Paul

It makes sense. But I dont, so it might not make sense to everyone else. If that makes sense? :confused: Paul

What mods you got on it? It was using my heater trick wasnt it!;) :D Paul

It looks very nice. I see you havent fitted your sports seat yet then. ;) Paul

Ok chappies, as soon as I can find some valver breaks I will get them. If anyone knows where I can get some shout up. Any ideas on price? ps I had a comming together with a black and white cat today. Not pleasent for the cat. My brakes couldnt even scrub off 15 mph in a few metres. I hit the...

When I get mine I will be doing a sound comparison. Record the cockpit noise with the standard zaust. Then with the KTEC system. Then the KTEC system with the KTEC decat. Oh and exterior sounds aswell. But this wont be for about 2 pay cheques time. Paul

Yeah, I meant to write sunny day. Cos its sunny, but not too hot. Thats what I meant to say. But it was late and I had been at work all day. But yeah your right, the colder/denser the air the better. Not like it makes much of a difference on the RT. As for the heater, I am pretty sure its...

Someone once hooked there car upto the mains electricity. Killed the thief out right. Bloke got sent to prison for murder. Thing is, if the bloke hadnt been trying to thief it, he would have been perfectly fine. Its like the Tony Martin thing, if those blokes hadnt been in his house they wouldnt...

Its just things I noticed thats all. May work for you, may not. I just wish I found a switch that turned my RT into a valver.:( Paul

Hi, I hate my breaks. Whenever I really need them they tend to either let me down or just save my ass. They dont fill me with confidence, and I am not pushing the car either when I have asked for there assistance in some delicate rear of volvo avoiding action. Anyway I wish to pop the front...

It does sound asthough its in that area though doesnt it. Paul

Sorry adi, I had to oblidge. Paul

Phew! I thought there was going to be some strange transexual picture then. Its rather nice, very clean and shiney. Is that another clio park behind it? I thought it was at first, but now I am not to sure. The door window looks a bit strange and the wing mirrors and the lock. So...Peogeot...

What do you mean? I got a water temp gauge if thats what you mean. Thats what I go on. I wait till its at the halfway mark and then rag it. Paul

Oh thats not fair! I was hoping my car was clockwork! Paul

Ok over the last few weeks I have been playing about doing different things to see what makes my car slower or faster. I have found the following things. 1) Switch off all the powered stuff (odviosly not your lights, if you need them on, have them on. But if you dont, switch em off) The stereo...

I get the exact same problem. But I can hear mine from about 15 mph, although its hardly audiable at that speed. But the faster I get the louder and faster the tick gets. I thought it might be connected to the slight wobble on the speedo dial. But after watching it for a bit, i noticed they are...

Yeah it can eat the petrol. One thing I noticed aswell, its all fine and economical when its under 3k but as soon as you go over it just drops striaght off. It doesnt seem to get less the more you go over, it just seems to drop completely off. No gradual transition. Well it does with me anyway...

Erm mine is a sort of reddy colour aswell, well more pinkish browny colour. Definatly not metal, its...oh you mean the car! Paul

I thought the valvers bonnet "scoop" was a heat outlet aposed to a cold air inlet. A scoop (ie scooby style) would odviosly force cold air into the engine bay. But the scoop in the valver seems to there more as a suction device. Let me explain. This is just my sumise, I have actually no idea...

Ah right, well use the gum, take it into a test center and ask them to check it. If it fails then he can sort it out. He cant actually fail his MOT if its not due. But when it is, you can have it sorted by then. If that makes any sense. Paul

Yeah the calipers arent wide enough. So the new disks wont fit in. Thing is, where do I get wider calipers from? Thanks brun, but I may just say the money and learn to brake earlier. :D Paul

You could fit them, it isnt hard. Unless the wiring isnt there, then it might be a bit trickier. Paul

Well it wont work. I just rang them (they been in holland for the last few days). They said that the conversion will only work on the vented disk variety of the RT. So looks like I might try and get the brakes off a 16v and see if they will fit. I have heared they will. Paul
