Must have missed the guide, will check it out. Is it a good or bad thing to mirror polish? (on the inside of course) Never been quite sure.

To be honest mate i dont know, its a mate of mine that owns it and hes sound, also heard good things but cant say for sure. They do alot of cylinder head work so quite clued up. I'll get mine in for a power run and report back.

Not done this before but i might give it a go, i'm a high precision CNC setter/machinist. So i'm after some info, its my understanding that the aim is to match the ports on each end of the inlet manifold and to polish the insides? Are there any guides around for removing the inlet manifold? I...

We have a rolling road in Stroud now too, its in Maynard Ltd http://www.maynardltd.co.uk/automotive/site1/index.htm £40 for a power run and quick diagnostics IIRC.

My Cup does it after 5k in all gears, sounds like its coming from the exhaust. I dont have air con so i'll have a look at the alternator.

Nice result there, got to be happy with that.

Yeah it looks well smart to be fair :)

All i have is this, similar to yours... http://www.vibrant.ms/A556A2/Vibrant.nsf/pages/0201

Can't see that being a problem, most Cups don't have it anyway. I think most people would prefer a supercharger over aircon anyway.

Ahh yes, didnt think about ply, thats something to look at as theres a big plywood place 500 yards down the road from me :)

Currently my car has had the rear seats removed and a MSV rear half cage bolted in, as i have quite a few hobbies i'd like to be able to use the rear of the car to chuck everything in so would like to cover over the wheel well, carpet the lot and fit my cargo nets. As it is the rear is not great...

VERY good tutorial here http://www.vanilladays.com/hdr-guide/ With a nice gallery too http://www.vanilladays.com/gallery/category/hdr/

Excellent photography there mate, great compostion and execution on all pics!

I've seen that before, 90% sure theres a tutorial floating around the net for that one, still good work though. To the OP, give it a go yourself, theres loads of step by step tutorials here... http://www.digimods.co.uk/tutorials.htm

Thats why videos would help :)

Surely he means 50-70mph?

Any videos anyone? As i'll be after an exhaust soon.

Youtube would be your best bet mate.

Some good prices here http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-detail.asp?PAGE=/manranges.asp Demon tweeks will also price match anyone else in the uk.

Looks like fun, not far from me so will have to check it out. Any info (maps etc) on location?

Got the last MOT certificate? (would hope so) as that'll have the milage written on it.

Nice work, looks smart. Only let down is the number plate in the front window, just ruins it imo, looks well messy.

Doh!

My old car (on the left), not as dedicated as you though!

Makes you more competitive, ie trying to beat your previous time which in turn means your more likely to drive harder and push it too much which is obviuosly dangerous. Same applys to track days, no filming and no stop watches.

Anyone ever fitted a universal total closure kit? I'm no electrician but i'm guessing you'll have to connect one end of the 'box' to the cars 'arming/deadocking' wire and the other end to the 'window up' wire (more than likely by splicing into existing wires??). Can anyone elaborate...

I came from a 220bhp Ibiza Cupra to a 172 Cup also spent quite a bit of time driving a 2001 remapped LRC (260ish bhp) and the 172 Cup is sooo much more fun to drive (and cheaper to run). I'd say you wouldnt regret leaving the LCR for a 197 Cup.

EVO triangle if i'm not mistaken, North Wales IIRC.

Just took the arm off and the motor out then stuck a rubber bung in the whole. Got the bung in a Halfords £1.50 tub of random bungs :) Thankyou :)
