IMHO Youve not lost any power, youre just measuring it with a different set of rollers. Dont worry about it. Id be bloody surprised if you came away with the *same*results from two different RRs!
I normally wouldnt recommend this technique for a fast launch but on a 172 it seems to give a consistent (if not that fast!) start - let it idle, go off the line as if it was your driving test then as soon as youre rolling floor it. Majority of cars will bog down with this sort of thing, the...
hehe yeah you got it all set up Paul!
All this talk of Zex and NOS, theyre the new kids on the block, at least in the UK. Who you gonna call when your Zex kit doesnt work? Not Trev at Wizards of Nos in Doncaster thats for sure!
Rob- theres a lot to be said for straight line speed, remember...
BTW absolutely shamed a Saph Cos out on the open road when I took the BB demo Clio out for a spin. He simply couldnt live with the pace, looked like the handbrake was stuck on, the way we were pushing him along the road until he could pull back in! And by the amount of black turbo smoke he was...
Just got the tip off from DVLA the next lot of auction plates are now listed. If youre after one or just after something to invest in there are some pretty low reserves there for some plates like T74CEY or BAD63R (Tracey or Badger) address...

Ill go and download that now.I just got a vid of an RX7 doing a 9-something pass at 139mph. God knows the kind of clutch that thing has got, because it goes off the line like a harrier jump jet and wheelies for a good couple of car lengths!

Lofty what were you rude about? I must have missed something? Dont worry there are going to be a lot of top secret mods that will be going on to the security system that are not going to be publicised on here. Lets just say any thieving toe rag touches my car they might be in for a shock, in...
hehe Im spending a lot but its not my money its the banks! Well the only naples red 16v in the area I can think of is Johns (night.icon) but hes only having that turbo conversion in his dreams. Im spending the full whack on it, but Ive clawed quite a lot back from selling bits off my car to get...
This has been discussed at great length elsewhere, have you done a search of the forum Matt? Anyway basically the hardest part if finding the 2.0 bottom end. If you can find one youre in business.
Supercharging a 16v or Willy is just not feasible, theres simply no room to run a belt to a...
So Jellyhead, are ITG going to make an airbox for the Clio 16v / Williams? Its all very well being able to put a filter on a 172, but a 16v /Willy is another matter entirely - basically manufacturers have given up on doing one because its too difficult, leaving to DIYers to make up their own...
