Yes thats the place , I've never been before but some friends of mine have

Cheers guys , I'm out on the Burpspeed trackday in Llandow on thurday with it , then doing a rally in Abingdon on Sunday , so hoping for a good result there , I'm sure its open to spectators so if anyone is local , there is a sprint series taking part on the saturday , a beer tent with...

I'll be selling it so will give you a shout when I do , if its still fitted for Jersey you can try it and see what you think Cheers Ian

Had delivery of the solid lifter kit from CAT yesterday , looks a good it of kit , kit comes with cams , double valve spring , vernier pulleys , solid lifters and shims , and solid followers , good basis for a big power engine. I have just about everything for the interim engine , the block...

I bought a complete engine to rebuild , my car is still fitted with the original race engine and is staying that way until this engine is built and dynoed , i'm hoping to have it all finished and ready to fit within a month , so the track day and the next rally or 2 will be with the standard...

No not really , the block is away being re-bored and the crank is having a polish , had the Cat cams and valve springs delivered the end of last week , had my full gasket kit delivered , going to order a new oil and water pump today , bought a cam belt kit so that should be here today , I can...

no not yet , too early , they are out for the mini epynt on 10th June , I'm doing Abingdon that day , then Caerwent 2 weeks later

I'll be doing the Epynts in July and August in my Clio as well

Just received the head back from CNC heads , they have fitted new guides for me as well as a full porting job , re-face the head and re-cut the valve seats , all looking nice a pretty ! Should be able to build the head back up in the next couple of days , still waiting on the...

Yes if there is anything I can help with that we have picked up doing our car just ask. Stripped my block down yesterday on the engine I bought off someone on this site ready to be rebored this week , there is a bit of rust on the front of the engine as its fitted in the car , so hopefully the...

Hi If you speak to SWR ask them what they did to my box , I don't think they touched the diff apart from fitting new bearings , I just had a new CW&P fitted to bring the top end speed down , it is geared for about 117mph on the rev limiter I think now , if it is untouched then its fine for...

The Akra I just fitted to my M3 gave me a flat spot just after 2k revs , as its still under warranty I didn't want to have it remapped so I have taken it off and put the standard one back on , bummer really as it sounded really good.

I have sent the 'inbetween' engines head off today to CNC heads to have a full porting job done on it , I have sent the supertech valves to them as well so they can recut the valve seats , they have said they should be able to turn it around in 10 days , will get the block off the South Wales...

that's rallying ! Its not that bad actually when you compare it against just the followers from sodemo at 8k euro's for 16 of them , it will cost me less than that to build the engine complete with the steel kit car bottom end

The head needs machining as the followers are connected to each other with a rod I have ordered a kit car bottom end for this engine now , 90mm steel crank , 84mm pistons and 150mm rods , ordered them from a company in France , going all out for big power on this one now :D

Cheers guys , looking forward to getting a more powerful engine fitted and making it go faster , at the moment I'm 1st in class in the Welsh tarmac rally championship but about 3rd or 4th overall , so would be nice to get some more speed to compete with the top guys :D some of the cars are very...

was told by a few people that the tapered ones are better , they are used on the Millington engines which are about the best engines used for rallying today so can't be that bad

Had some deliveries today , I'm going to be building an inbetween engine to give me some more power now , someone I have spoke to is doing a lot of work on one of these to get some silly power out of them so if that all goes well i'll have one of those Got a standard engine off someone on here...

I have just fitted an Akrapovic full system on my M3 , it doesn't feel any quicker than standard , and has left me a nice flat spot at around 2k revs , so might be coming back off if nothing can be done about it , the car is still under warranty so I won't have it remapped , shame as it sounds...

Went and competed on a rally yesterday in West Wales , gave the clutch a good test and its perfect now , had a very good day , nothing went wrong with the car apart from hitting a big tractor tyre and snapping the corner of the front bumper off ! Finished the day 2nd in class and 4th overall ...

I ordered Wossner high comp pistons , steel rods , 3 layer headgasket and bearings yesterday , will start looking for a good donor engine today as I want to keep my car complete and usable until the new engine is dynoed and ready to fit. After speaking to people the last few weeks , I'm being...

Whats the spec , power and torque of your engine ?

Its for rallying , check out my build thread and there are some in car videos of some of the rallies I have done in it

Yes I do but I have had the final drive changed to lower the top end , makes it accelerate better for my needs

Had a look shortly after asking on here , I just ordered a jenvey throttle body kit , will take about a week to do they said , I have also ordered 2 carbon dished backplates , one for my golf and one for the clio

Where did you get the carbon backing piece for your air filter from , I need one for my golf as it has a flat alloy one on and the filters are tight up against the trumpets

Am I right in thinking that no one can remap the Cup ECU ? as I was planning on changing the ECU and then fitting a stack dash , the race car dash is a bit basic on info , I have a stack in my Golf and they are far better

I have Jenveys on my Golf rally car so was edging towards them unless someone said otherwise , yes I know its going to cost money , I learnt long ago rallying isn't cheap lol , and will be doing whatever necessary to achieve that power level

What are people's recommendations for throttle bodies ? Quite a few makes available , have used jenveys in the past , who uses what ? Looking for 240 -250hp

I have fitted a Helix cover on friday and I cannot move the arm at all by hand , so the Valeo cover must have been faulty , just need to refit the engine and box and give it a try now. I'm not doing another rally for 6 weeks now so am hoping to have a new engine sorted out by then
