^ good man, if you end up with two.............. but seriously, i think they can make a real difference to your oil temp.

lego, does your car run an extra oil cooler?

i've been waiting to get the go-ahead to post this, it's my flatmates project. the car is a ph1 v6 with 11k it is halfway through having most of the work done at the moment. spec when finished will be. original wheels in matt black kw v3's front geometry modified to allow more lock...

the all use the same story, someone in the netherlands who wants to sell to the uk for almost nothing.

what that man said^^ mind you, i did a set in 4k!!

i was meaning on a clio, with a before and after. i'm still at a loss as to what the benefit of this is? so far we have a few people who have done this and found an improved throttle response. which can be done by remapping anyway on the fbw bodies, you can alter the ratio between the two...

please. someone. actually do the exercise.

^ may be a different application, but it's still a n/a internal combustion engine?

oh well, forget that then. out of interest, how can you tell the diference?

is this any use to you dan? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/clio-172-roll-cage_W0QQitemZ190140825200QQihZ009QQcategoryZ30172QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem nothing to do with me, but i just saw it was in swindon.

exactly right, go to an airfield and have some instruction. :)

my flatmate is in the middle of building one now, it will have a porsche body.

the answer to this is perfectly simple. someone needs to take a stock car, then do a set of before and after runs, with the normal and enlarged body. then we can all compare the two curves. i have no experience of this on a 1*2 engine. but, not that it has any real relevance, i know that it...

people tend to approach this issue from the wrong direction. imo. you often see people asking why coilovers are better than set dampers, and asking who is really going to bother adjusting them all the time. i personally think that it is not so much that coilovers are better specifically, rather...

lol :D its an expensive hobby eh i'm thinking about developing a crack habit to try to start saving :rasp:

you just made me feel much better about myself!!:)

so.... thats as clear as mud then! i'll go ahead and do it just to satisfy my curiosity then, i'll only be torturing myself if i dont! plus mr hunter always seems to know what he is on about! cheers all!

thanks, thats cool. they guys doing the work are pretty spot on to be honest, so that isn't an issue. has anyone actually done this? or driven a car with it done? just wondering if it will end up making me have to double de-clutch everywhere!

i think it is slightly metalic, but it is definately a vag colour. pvw did their rallye in it and it looked sick!

if it's any use to anyone, i have a brand new bottom end minus crank and rods that i don't need anymore?

mmmmm. nimbus grey?

just wondering if anyone has done this, or knows if it is worth bothering with? i'm about to have a bottom end rebuild anyway, so the flywheel will be removed in the process. does anyone know the weight of the standard fly, or the weight to aim for if i do have it machined? any info at all...

erm, sorry, i mean. DO IT DO IT!........

^ oh dear.........

^ agreed, the 182 just has a few alterations. the 172 has a whole range of weight savings. even down to thinner glass i believe?

it sounds like they have mounts to fit to the runners?, not sure though? i'd still have them mind!

they wouldn't be mine either if i had a trophy.........:)

i've just spotted these too! i wish i had the cash to be buying then! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190139954930&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009 they look a bit tasty!

see if matt's roling road challenge goes ahead! it could be quite an event!
