Its not dangerous to run with a split cv boot, it will just get water and road muck in the actual universal joint and will seriously shorten its lifespan. You fail and mot with a split cv boot, so best to get fixed soonest. Colins motor with the creak on it needs lookin at, you didnt say if it...

whos got free drugs? there is a drought on at the minute, cant be good sh*t if its free............ no love is free though, always ends up costing me an arm and a leg.

The cv joint has failed or has the boot just split? was there grease everywhere? Does it click at low speeds when you have some steering lock on? There is a factor of safety built into drive components so you should be able to drive it like you stole it with no adverse effect..............

Reg Vardy Sheffield are a joke. It is a miracle if nothing gets damaged there. They have too many cars for sale, too many cars in for service and not enough space for anything else, they should either fix cars there or sell them, they cant do both cos there is no room. Ive seen them service...

Agree with TB1 and Nick, if your an entusiast then nothing is ever too much. Problem now is joe average wants some go in his motor, so these engines are pretty much at their max and modding them with blowers means doing allsorts of other stuff like pistons, injectors, lightened flywheels etc...

Then again, renault are supposed to be campaigning the new megane in the WRC soon, a turboed 350hp jobby, and this will also have to be homologated before it can compete, and the engines will have to be in regular production, so this could be the best way to get turbo power without all the hassle.

Apart from anal retentive politicians stiffling boyish fun, would love to see anyones 172/willy/valver that has been turboed or supercharged, seen a sax that had one and it used to melt cylinder heads.......

Dont know what they will do here, all cars built since jan 1990 come under homologation rule, you have to build at least 500 to get a certificate of safety conformity. If you had a kit or a one off you could get a Single vehicle appraisal and that was ok, but this is being scrapped, kit cars...

Work, been Korea, Japan, Switzerland. Its only been 2 weeks and ive missed it all!

Put what ever you like on your motor, Type approval and single vehicle appraisal laws change next April, so you will have to produce 500 identical examples to meet Homologation rules and thus reach a type approval, or you wont be allowed to drive it on the road, how ridiculous is that? They...

Yes it was good. Agreed you dont and wont get the power at the wheels. I say there is a calculation for this, slarty says different. Both trying to prove a point and getting lost, need me white board. No, Ben, two stroke sounds good, smooth, it only does 98 rpm flat out and its drowned out by...

Im happy that you understand what you are on about, I and probably others do not. I have yet to hear a valid explanation of where the 172 loses this 20-25 bhp. I certainly wont be losing any sleep over it, tell me when someone achieves 172 Bhp at the rollers from a standard car.

They also did a run out highline model which was identical to the storm but had mulberry leather trim and came in this rude mettalic purple colour, on 96N/96P plates. Barringtons of chesterfield have one at mo, snip under 10 grand, pricey but its a minter if they have it for sale, they dont...

Are you able to sum up in a few words then and tell paddymph what his actual power at the fly wheel is and how you arrive at that figure? Nothing is factored into a rolling road test, it is a simple indication of the output power being transmitted through the wheels. We are talking about where...

You appear not to have read the post, the dyno figure was 268 kw, the at the wheels figure was 252kw, the calculated final drive ratio, reciprocal of all the gear ratios, 1/2/3/4/5/6 is equal to 1.064. When you divide dyno by roller you should achieve the same figure as the calculated one...

I am not confusing anything, torque is a turning moment which determines the accelaration (pulling power) of the engine. If youre into splitting hairs, Bhp is actually an illegal terminology in the EU, it is non specific. It is kilowatts, as this is an accurate measure of the engines output...

All motors are tuned to the limit these days, gone are the times when a K&N filter and a Kent cam got you 30 BHP out of your MK2 escort for less than a hundred nicker. Turbo is the way for more of a HP gain, then you need the water injection to stop it frying if you run high boost all the...

Go for the Storm if you can find one, stronger residuals, better kit. Do not touch one that even looks like its been painted, they dont hold up to well in front enders, tends to do the steering and all sorts, this you will tell when you drive it. All Karmann panels BTW, horrendously expensive...
