Ditto, word for word.

Great day today, good to meet lots of new faces. Mine seemed as little strange at the top end, died on its arse over 6,500rpm where everyone else's just hung on to the power. Still, 185.5 bhp and near 160 lbft show a good gain for removing power steering and adding a bit of pipe to the filter...

Nice one Lee, sounds like good fun. Which bits of Bedford were you using...relative to what we know as the South West circuit?

and...?

Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay**

I hope my Focus looks that good when I hit 140. Nice.

Front seat is 21kg each without the airbag so say 26kg with. Rear upright and bench I don't think are more than 10kg total.

Your space looks nice.

I trapped my wires refitting my horn and up they went in a puff of smoke. Easily done I hear, nothing to do with me being a c*ck.

Nice. I saw that in Leigh Park, it's got real presence.

Carbon roof, glassfibre doors, plastic windows and you undo all that good...with a useless engine cover. Get it off - they're from the devil!

I' gave mine a lift, +50mm, much better as the exagerated roll through the bends really lets you know what's going on.

Sorry, couldn't resist. The picture looking down your inlet seeing this jamming the throttle would be better...

As above, read the link , print it and give it to MOT man...it explains everything. There is nothing wrong with your brakes.

OMG. Had to say that.

Impressive. Using the limiter made sense each and every time (almost) that he banged into it.

This is going to be almost unbelievable. Weighing as little as it does (glassfibre doors, plastic windows, carbon roof...there's almost no metal), sticky tyres (I hope?), and an RS lump up front. Mental.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Very bad day. Never mind Jay, a nice detail clean over the winter?

I'm going to try that at Surrey this saturday - back to back runs with it connected both ways.

It's not even powered is it? I read that is spins around because of the air flowing through it drawn in by the engine (it's driven by airflow). I didn't read that it spins all by itself forcing more air into the engine (it doesn't drive airflow). In which case it's a complete and utter...

Oh, and er, the Bond Bug.

Triumph Dolomite 1,850cc Sprint

Wouldn't doing in mat-black be better? As it is, it looks kinda pointless. At least if it were mat-black the rear window would look tidier/cleaner instead of having a body-coloured semi-cricle encroaching into it for no apparent reason.

Good work.

I can see what you're saying. It's only a matter of time before there's legislation against this in my opinion. Sidewalls exist for a purpose, and when taking strecthing to the extremes above the sidewall ceases to be able to do anything...very unsafe I'd have thought.

What's it for? Edit: Looks? Do you go out on a friday night with duct tape across your face for the 'look' as well? ;)

I'd have thought the manufacturers recommendation should be gospel and enforcable by law. That to me is like me running my competition wets on the road, they work alright, have a good legal tread pattern and lots of legal tread depth, but the manufacturer states they're for "competition use...

That would also be fitted to a rim width way beyond what the manufaturer states as being safe...which would make it illegal would it not?
