^ i think he hears that most mornings.........

not got any pics, but this is what i was using before i changed to 15's

yor not sure then fred? :)

and as far as gaz coilies go, i sold mine for £150 iirc!

i paid £400 all in delivered for a set of the palmersport ones, but that was direct from speedline.

mikes car is currently waiting for a new box, iirc the old one lasted about 5k. the other 300+ one from scott does get the power down ok, i've been out in it. but it has the entire ph2 rear setup, and the front geometry has been changed so there is some lock for when the back does break away.

nakamichi are awesome, i really like how understated they are. if i was going to change the head on mine it is the only thing i'd put in there.

do you mean the cam timing franx? that could be set up differently if you do have aftermarket cams, and then i guess it would be possible for renault to "incorrectly" set the standard timings.

it still goes over the subframe, and is definately a sod to fit!

you might not get much bhp, but when mine was done i spent a while trying to change from third to fourth and finding i was already in fourth!

i don't think you gain bhp with this. it is a torque mod. iirc it is to offset the loss of torque that the 10 bhp gain causes with the 182. a 4-1 manifold will give more ultimate power, but at the cost of torque.

you can also shorten the standard cat and fit it that way.

yup, but only with chocolate though.......

think when you have been out caning it, you can just about touch the cover, but it wouldn't boil water?

i don't think it gets that hot, surely the engine cover would melt?

not bad going, the escort is definately a hairdressers car by the way! i'm probably in london tomorrow night though! so that might be a problem.

it's from before the cat, if you want to try it just let me know.

i've got a spare lambda probe if you want to try that?

does anyone have any figures then? scott still thinks this is the most powerful at the moment?

thats the one, it's got a mk2 box too!

i don't doubt it, any idea what kind of power they have made?

^ true, i should probably have said not counting the stroker kits too!

fair enough, i know this is the first one that sg have done that is over 300, just curious what other people have managed.

apart from mike t's one, the next most powerful one i've seen is tim's with nitrous. i'm looking at straight forward n/a ones.

you can get them bored for less if you find a friendly machine shop. shame they aren't 16's though!

i have as it happens, but his isn't done yet is it?

303bhp and 241 ft/lb :) for the last 6 months my flatmate has had a vee project on the go and it is almost finished now. last week it ran the above figures at owen developments, who are taking care of the mapping. curently it is running without the cam change too, so should show 10-15% more...

thats quite true, you did quote me for remote reservoirs:- after i described a kit and asked for a price for a similar set. maybe you felt that i would have to spend that amount to get something equivalent, or maybe you were up-selling? as for saying a set of penske would cost 4k, why not say a...

and before the uproar starts, i should probably point out that my kit was also custom built to match the axle weights of the car and is completely re-valveable.

to give you an idea of the cost of the gdi set. i have a £1300 set of kw competition coilovers on my car, when i called andy for a price of an equally specced kit he told me it would be close to £2500. i know what i would do!
