i dont know if anyone remebers but i said it could be possible to change the oil by taking the grill out and sliding your hand through the gap between bumper and bonnet, well after 6k since the last service it worked a treat, full oil change took me 20 mins (like it should do!) and i have got...

i see after market exhausts as a bit od a cop out in some way bacause at the junction of each box/font pipe its the sma ebore internaly as the OE exhaust, therefore im thinking if a larger bore system to match the ported exhaust manifold (see other post - Internal mods) so that the large bore...

im considering some moderate internal Mods to my F7P lump, consisting of ported inlet and exhaust manifolds, ported head, and fast road cams, im pretty skint so i cant afford the luxary of just send the whole car away to get it all done, so i want to idealy source the parts individualy or strip...

in line with Capt.s post, i have often wondered why some systems use incoperate exhaust gasses some how? or am i being silly? surley spent exhaust gases are the worst thing for the combustion process?
