Renault if I were you :)

Lol at the height, have you taken the handbrake off since it was jacked up?

Ahhh I see! Lol

Hahaa lol

Perfect well that should make a good difference then :) As you say I doubt I will be going above 130 anyway and if so and want to change my mind then I guess I can swap back to a standard 5th gear! I will drop them both a message and see what they are using. Thanks again Yes they do two...

I’m being a cheapskate and only buying the white edition ones so I think they are limited to 720 anyway :) Ahhh I thought they were for the fancy remote control he was using! He was always swapping batteries around lol!

Thanks for that Chip! Massive difference then, I was just thinking aloud but changing the 5th does seem the best option :) Now I just need to decide on ramp angle lol! Hi Mark, I always struggled with the brakes until I got rid off the ABS and since that has gone I have fit the pad size alcon...

Good thinking I will get them hardwired then I didn’t realise it was possible :) lol!

Haha as I found out :(

Thanks for that Chip really handy :) Do you mind telling me what my top speed would be on the above if I kept the 39/31 5th gear? Ah yes I suppose that would be easy enough to change! I think for that car then yes I would swap it to the 37/33 Lol i’m not that bad ;) Exactly :rasp:

Will be good to see the outcome of this as i’m getting a couple for the race car next year! I’m worried about battery life mostly

Yes I guess it would be and also if you swap it into the 172 after the Mk1 then it wouldn’t be ideal as a daily either. Haha yes thats the advantage of a trailer and just towing although the journeys are a lot slower ;) Sounds like a plan I’d just leave the 5th gear and save some money, and...

Haha don’t worry Andy, Not much is going on really! Hopefully by Christmas there will be a lot more progress, just waiting for the boring jobs to be done like painting and welding and can then put it all back together over Xmas hopefully

Yeah :) Looking forward to trying it out

Perfect, yeah think i’m going with 4.54 which is 12% higher :)

Wow thanks for doing that Chip really appreciate it :) All looks good and then I guess I just knock 12% off those top speeds for the new FD? If I do that again all look okay except i’m going to be banging off the rev limiter all the way around Craners in 4th.

I think you are right Pete and I would go as far to say not only is yours as quick but I think its definitely faster than mine on the straights I agree with the quality differences and if I was doing it again then I would run Jenveys so no doubting that but what is the difference in car when...

Looks incredible Rhys :) Look forward to seeing it on track soon!

North west I guess try Paul at RS tuning I’m sure he could sort you out with ITB’s and do a great job on them too :) Price wise if paying someone else to do the work then I guess around 2.5k-3k If you can DIY and then just get the mapping done elsewhere I guesstimate about 2k with new bits

Jesus f**king christ! That is epic :)

Haha lol!

I have good experience of finishing several laps behind lol! Haaaha PMSL! Your on a roll tonight mate :rasp: Will be a good laugh either way i’m sure :)

I don’t think I would but I could be wrong :)

Haha your all turning to turbo and supercharged pansies :rasp:

Thanks for confirming Andy I was going to call them again to make sure I hadn’t got confused with all the doubt but you’ve saved me a job :) Glad you managed to get some and look forward to seeing the engine come together!

Works out at £10 something per valve from the US with the discount they offered me + the import and delivery so yeah about 260ish. Cheaper to just buy from the UK and get them next day :) I got told to jog on when I asked for them even cheaper but he did offer free delivery

Swapping the sump over will be a little pain in the arse I guess the engine will need wiggling around to get the turbo manifold in and out but nothing difficult. I would be most worried about wiring it all in. PnP ECU solution would be a nice way around that though

Feel free to call them on 01276 858073 should be in stock this week as they had sold out the other week and were on back order from the US and when I spoke to Supertech in the US to try get some they were in manufacture

When I spoke to Steve at Supertech UK the other day this is what he told me

As far as i’m aware and been told K-tec valves are Supertech’s and you can get a full set of Supertech valves for £12.78 per valve from the Supertech UK distributor so a total of £204ish. Less than half the price of K-tec nice margin for them though lol
