Nottingham... full address is on our website (see profile). Chip-mk1

And you said daveski lived on car sales websites

I will never forget... so, can I drive the MX5 at Bedford (Mwhahahaaaa)?

Erm I'd say yes but we may get black flagged using a crate and a bungie chord lol. Afraid not... because it only has one seat. I may let you take it out though if you promise not to set it on fire!

Yeah unbelievable things. His pulled 193hp on standard inlet so I bet that was epic on ITB's

Is that a blue printed one Dan? My friend had one of these in his blue Mk1 and it was one of the strongest NA engines I've ever felt.

Phase 1 uses KLine (KWP2000) for all transmissions where as the Ph2 is CAN (it does still retain KLine for diag purposes) but your scanner cannot communicate as it's most likely purely CAN compliant

Not many road cars with chassis and suspension like these ;-) The racers were faster to but I guess RSport had a supply of Grp N F7R's sat ready and waiting. One of the few cars I'd honestly like to own but not before an R8 Gordini.

Not here its in the car (at the workshop). Doing VAT returns tonight #sucks

Tom, I considered this but even still it would be money wasted as I'm all set now on having 48 SF's with 120mm trumpets

Yeah they suck on road compounds. Nick Hill took me out in a NZ Cup car and it was scarey.

These were a bit before the VX220... Absolutely terrifying cars to drive fast on track because they are more capable than most drivers that own them.

Tim, I knew I had the 197 cams timed there or there abouts but I had this constant niggle in the back of my mind that the timing wasn't quite right (it was greedy on fuel) and as timing changes, map tweeks aren't simple I decided to take a set of 421's in part payment for a job to get rid of...

Close, road going version was more Megane 16v like and the Track version was Williams... F7R's though so I'll shut up xxx

Finish your drink please... and leave! Bloody amazing motors to look at and drive

Just got back from RS Tuning... I was shocked at the first run of 183hp then the second run saw 201hp but after I stopped running round like an excited kid I realised that was a spike on the rollers (All them torques yo!) but the final result after some minor tweeks was 196hp with 152lb/ft. so...

Just the cams and the inlet manifold matched. I'm expecting a loss of torque spread with the 421's over the 197's but hoping for an increase in peak power. I don't think anyone has tried 421's with an RS2 before though so it may not respond well with them.

I'm not, I hate the waiting... just my luck it'll be worse lol

That could be the seals on your map sensor to

Yeah it gets my goat this one as it only see's the road once a month. I'm considerimg just using my trade plates to get it to and from trackdays

Never actually replaced one I'm afraid as I have a box of rubber rings that do the job for cheap. They allow air to just sneak past when cold which causes an annoying chirp/whistle (the seals expand slightly when warm so it shuts up).

Just poor fitment (eg. Too long). There will be loads of people there with tools and spares so don't talk like Dave. If it breaks we can fix it... make it stronger... better... faster! Seriously though sign up, you will love it.

Still don't know until Tuesday night. I'm hoping so and the wife has granted me a day playing but if the engine takes a step backwards I'd sooner spend the money putting it right.

Correct, it's a fairly common issue now and a new one will fix it (as will replacing the rubber o - rings).

I asked as I've heard horror stories about them but I've never fitted one myself. You should get yourself booked booked onto the Passion Ford day at Bedford in Feb and bring it out to play.

Did you drop the subframe or just pull the engine forwards? How's the link pipe to, fit okay?

You changed the manifold! That's a fun job - not

This is kind of where I was heading.

Compression test it and post the results.

I've not gone above 3k yet so can't say
