Does anyone know what kind of difference a de-cat makes in terms of decibels gained?
My car Currently comes in reguarly at 95db. Most Circuits have a limit around 100db but some are as low as 98db so I don't want to restrict myself by making the car too noisy if I'm gonna gain 3-4db by removing...
Great day, such a nice circuit. First time id ever been there, looks totaly different on the telly. Apeared ever so narrow on the sighting laps and very tricky but once you get up to speed it has a real nice flow to it and many different corners. Some are proper quick!
Kerb hoping the first...
Ive lost count of the number of times ive been asked that now. As soon as you say its a 2 litre Clio, thats what they say.
Had it again today. I was at a mates garage with the car and someone walked by and commented on the car. He asked me what size the engine was, I knew what was coming. Even...
Im thinking* about swapping to a full cage over the winter.
Really like the look of the ex-cup racer cage that pmurray has in his, would need some work to get the dash or at least some of it back in. Not a problem I dont think. Would I have a hard job tracking one down?
Seen the safty...
Not sure if this is the right section but it isnt photography as such.
Basicly i need to convert the mpeg4 videos from my pda into something my editing software will recognise. My camera films in AVI fromat so that would be good.
Anyone know of a nice peice of software that would do it for me?
Great track time, was really getting the hang of it come the end, first session didnt really produce much footage worth watching as in the second session I was much faster. I think the wind had died down into the banked corner in the afternoon, as the car felt a little more stable on turn in...
......................I parked in a quiet multistory earlier, looked back at it and I just felt the need to take some pics.
Unwashed and very dirty, like a DRIVERS car!
Took a car in there today 31/05 and noticed this in the car park. Had stripes right to the floor and looked like it had FF seats in it.
CS and Ktec stickers in the back window.
Anyone on here? If so........................ clean that bird turd off the bonnet!
Inspired by the other appreciation threads i thought we'd give this a go. I LOVE sleepers more than any other modified car.

Classic mini............... with Vtec...
Around 7:45pm today 21/05. Coming down the hill from Nympsfield area.
Not using the cup to its full potential. I kept up with you in the twisties in my van! Lol.
Car looked as clean as fook! Real Minter!
Had CS sticker in back window so must be someone on here
Firstly a BIG thanks to Tony Hunter who was my passenger/tutor for the evening. He made it so much more enjoyable and I learned alot. Top man! :star:
I was seriously bricking it when we got there but after the parade laps I started to fell calmer.
This video is kind of where I was come the...
Just had a look at my cambelt kit and noticed that the......
Cambelt is made in the Uk
Tensioner is made in Canada
Idler is made in France
Idler is made in Germany
No wonder they cost so much!
Just double checking ive got my newly moddified belt layout all working in the right direction.
Crank, alternator and pas = Clockwise
water pump (off the back of the belt) = anti clockwise
Thats right aint it?
As some of you will know, at the recenet CS rolling road day my ph1 172 turned out a measly 142.9 bhp at the fly!
I always thought that it didnt feel as fast as i thought it should from the day i test drove it. As its stripped i imagined it would be much more lively than it is. I was...
Been very busy today. now ive decided not to do combe i can crack on with the latest mods/improvements and search for my missing power. (more on that later, in another thread)
With the help of Dave, (BomberGTR) We took off all the a/c compressor and brackets.
And this lot...
The mounting point on both the bumper and the wing are broken and the only way i could get it to sit right was by drilling a hole and fitting a small bolt.
Ive seen some cars with bonnet pin style clips on them, kind of making it quick release. could i do this or does anyone have any...
Ive just spent over 230 quid at the dealers buying a cambelt kit and some other bits. im changing my cambelt as looking through the history it was done using a non gen kit at a small local garage. Its also down on power so im hoping its timed slightly out.
I thought id get a phaser pulley...
