Wasnt there something on the telly about using old chip oil to run a diesel engine on?

Performance

Yeah that was mine that knackered while it was in testing...anyway other local ones are Rallytec up near Chelmsford, Marios old place The Engine Tuner, he moved that down Dagenham way or something.

LOL chill out Wiggum, no one drives a 5 turbo who hasnt given it some beans every now and again!:D

BTW Nice one Tim, good to hear a nice unbiased write-up.

If there is a Weber Alpha GOLD kit then that is the full works - everything you need, including the manifold, pair of twin bodies, injectors, fuel rail, engine management, linkages, trumpets, filters, the lot. I dont know whether the inlet ports on the F4R look the same as on the F7R, but if...

Id say thrash it. At the end of the day, youve got a modern, nannying ECU that will call time if you start to really get lairy with it, eg. the variable rev limit when the engines cold etc. So just ave it everywhere I reckon.

Definitely wants lowering and tints so it looks more evil. Keep the wheels, but you could be hardcore and buy another set of OZ f1s in 17" so they look like the factory wheels except more wicked. THe subtle mods are always the best.

Well once youve made a complete undertray with a venturi tunnel down the middle then let me know and Ill have one as well mate. Im fitting a decent solid splitter to the front (a proper DTM-type splitter that sticks out horizontally, not a bit of extra bumper that makes the car look lower) and...

Cheers! That sounds about right to me, the diffuser in particular makes a lot of sense, but would you want a smooth kind of expanding flow out of the rear underneath, or would you want a disturbed swirling flow? I have got that CCC knocking about somewhere Ill look in the loft. But if you...

AFAIK the parts list is correct Maciek - the Willy and 16v injectors are the same yellow/orange topped injectors, the 19 had two different versions neither of which were the same as in the Clio. Also the fuel pressure is the same, to my knowledge, in the 16v and the Willy. I think the pump will...

Anyone know if that 6-bolt pattern is the same PCD as on a standard valver wheel?

Worth a try mate. Actually I need your advice, maybe its your thing...I was wondering about side-skirts...What is the actual aerodynamic purpose of skirts on a race car? I cant believe its just to stop rogue gusts of wind getting under the car and lifting it? Is there some kind of swirl that...

LOL no spare vent unfortunately Ben! Ones mine and ones Johns (night.icon). He finds em, I chrome em! Maybe we should get a little production line going?

Im going for a slight colour change very soon, full respray in Monaco Blue instead of the original Sports Blue. The colour difference is only very slight and to the passer by, the two colours are the same. Only a true Clio dork would notice the difference, the Monaco is slightly brighter and...

Wife drives a Toyota Yaris T-Sport which she just bought. Its so wicked I had to put it on my profile and pretend its mine! Did a bit of cruising around Southend last night looking for a race up and down the A127, I was pretty surprised, considering its just a souped up shopping car and pretty...

Maybe they had trouble with them rebooting the system in the middle of a hairy corner?

Yeah I love those pictures of Evos in police colours, wicked.

Oh and btw, having just ditched my standard valver seats and tilt mechanisms for a pair of kevlar bodied Cobra Suzukas which weigh in at 6 or 7 kg each, I can tell you they are loads lighter than standard seats. You can pick them up by putting your little finger in one of the harness slots...

As a totally independent owner of two old original valvers, Ive gotta say thats the first time Ive seen a Mk2 new Clio look better than a mk1 new Clio. I dont really like the triangular lights at all on the current Clios, but I reckon the white wheels on that Cup give it the bad boy look you...

Bearing in mind Ive not been working on mine for some time now, but I seem to remember standard fuel pressure is 2.5 bar, rising half a bar on open throttle.

mailto:Crazy...8.65@150">Crazy...8.65@150 odd mph!Now thats how to do a quarter mile run.

Im so glad I dont have this variable rev limiter thing....

LOL Ive got that Haynes Clio modding manual, and I am NOT a fan of Max Power, but to be honest, I thought it was pretty good. OK not all the mods might be to everyones taste but it covers most things and its definitely worth having if youve got a bog standard Clio and want to get to work on it...

Yeah Im always on the lookout for factory looking skirts, RGMs are the closest but still not subtle enough?

LOL I thought my wife was bad buying shoes and stuff, but just picking up a turbo on your way back from town, thats something else! Ben tell me more about this rady mage turbo 1.4, I want one too!

Well Ive got soem of the bloody great orange rectangle indicators sitting in my shed at the moment. I couldnt face the thought of cutting them into my bumper cos they are so hideous. So instead Ive got a silvered 5-watt amber side repeater bulb in each inner headlight reflector. Its just about...

Yeah that old Daihatsu Pony or something Aaron. If that was seriously just the 4 on the plate, we should have offered her 10 grand cash there and then. Daz, no its not 2.0. Staying 1.8 although with a slight overbore to take the new pistons so instead of 1764 itll be something like 1796cc.

Tony, its a place in Southend called Hockley, havent got the number cos its the sort of place where you turn up at the warehouse door, they appear, take the stuff, then when you collect it you pay cash. Round the back of Sutton Road retail park bit. A lot of places cant chrome aluminium but...

AFAIK I hold the record with mailto:14.48@96mph">14.48@96mph. Depends on your definition of NA though. IMHO mine is not forced induction, hence it can only be NA. Technically speaking, nitrous oxide was not forced into the inlet in any way, it was released upstream of the throttle body and...
