Stripped 217 cup, i'm 37 this year, had it 5 years ish, it's gets lighter, as my belly gets heavier! lol

Just checked it was 217 not 212

I'm going to have to get some of these wonderful cams as i only run 212bhp with 422's, high comp, ITB's. Either that or go on their RR to see if they can get 250bhp out of my current setup? :rolleyes: Camshaft Duration is increased over standard; Inlet Duration is 286 Degrees and Exhaust is 280...

AFAIK, not quite, but nearly

TBH until they prove themselves, i'll stick with ds2500's. they can't be any worse than greenstuff (ditchfinders)

Joys of being old.....36 years old, 19 years driving, 12 years ncb, 3 points sp30, a long list of mods (all declared, insured for £11k), £450 ish fully comp, limited 6k miles

i had a Mk2 fiesta 1.3 ghia at 21. and it cost me £800 TFT. in 1995, rofl. Hardly a hot hatch

I get told by my wife to grow up and get a more suitable car. I'm 36 and i told her i'm keeping the clio until i can afford a 911 turbo, lol

and i would have still had to modify it to be as quick as the cup due to it's lardy ass

change your pads before touching anything else. Mintex 1144's or 1155's or ds 2500. don't use green/red/yellow stuff

mine still has a CAT. for MOT's, lol

£15k? who told you that rubbish? prob about £14,999.99, lol should have bought a gtr v-spec. but i didn't and i love it.

Is a caymen really that slow? not dissing your 182 (standard i take it?) but for a £15k 182 to keep up with a £60+ porsche, the porsche driver, either a) needs to learn how to drive or b) take it back to the garage so someone who does know how to drive it can buy it. lol. good effort with the...

leave that with me. WHEN i know it's reliable (after this year's track abuse) i get some made up, as i know an engineer who will copy my mount and mass produce it.

PMSL. it survived the trip home, however at some point after that it failed! lol. We are now on ver 1.1. I'll try and find a pic. can't find pic, but i had the reinforce the ring that held the bush as it ripped itself off the side rail! it didn't even break a weld! it broke the metal!

read my post again. lol. i said upto 911 turbo. that means my car is as quick as the model before a 911 turbo! lol. playing with words! Nah it'll quite happily keep with a 911 carrera 4s on the road, bhp per ton is about the same. in the twisties that's a different matter! it's a cup after...

Yeah pay an extra 60 odd quid for some fancy lines lol

I've got DCI badges ;) and yes i can blow away up to 911 turbo fast. Power isn't everything. Lack of weight is everything. which reminds me i need to go on a trackday/drag race diet, lol. fat:butt:

i did a 13.6. no diff. toyo t1-r's. 217bhp. The diff will help you to spin both wheels ;) The slicks will NOT help unless they are drag slicks. Track slicks make it worse (i get a better launch with t1-r's than 888's) to be honest what works for me is no burnout, 1500-2000 rpm to stop bog down...

yep. shocking people is great fun. how fast? 911 carrera 4s fast? or 911 turbo fast?

the most expensive one of course! imo you don't need Brembo max, you dont really need HC's. I use HC's as i got them quite cheap, but i've overheated them on a trackday, do i'm going grooved or drilled for the next set. was told by a supplier that HC's are marketing as all disc brakes have a...

totally agree, if it was the first mod, it would be pads everytime. then fluid. then maybe discs (as the new pads would have chewed them up by this point, lol) then lines, then bias valves/pedal boxes etc etc

Why thank-you, lol. I do all my own work, till i take to the mappers and they say the map is sh-i-te and get me 20 bhp! I'd like, if i had the money to send the head away for big valves and solid lifters fitted and gas flowed, but i haven't, lol. I'm planning to make a 1*2 4-1 manifold ;) then...

Flamed x2....1, double post, lol and 2, why would you leave old rubber pipes on when upgrading the rest of the system? If you need to upgrade the brakes, it's because you have reached the limits of the oe stuff, if you dont upgrade a component of the system it will be next in line to fail.......

422's and 423's need aftermarket ecus to be best as idle can be lumpy on stock stuff ( so i was told).

Just looked at your thread, looks like 172 manifold, and 120mm trumpets and 423 cams are the main differences( apart from your engine looks put together not thrown together! LOL) think my 172 manifold will be going back on, maybe swap my cams. but your car looks sweet

Ahh PhQuick engine tho, that why more power....is it still 172 manifold or 182?

Not really, cheaper to rip everything out, and it'll be as quick as a 200bhp 1*2 and would has cost pennies. only trouble is, i have done both and still want more speed, have to save up for another car now

Ive got 2500's and hc's. Spot on. don't think HC's are needed though, no fade ever from 2500's (on track)

Hello..............;) 217bhp for high comp, itbs, catcams 422's, light gasflow, 182 manifold, custom 2.5 system, no a/c, no pas, new plugs, new leads, well run in. on RS Tuning and TDF rollers. Matt @ TDF says he "might" be able to get it to 220, which may happen, but it does a 13s 1/4 and will...
