Just to mention I pulled my finger out and sorted the Bimarco thread; all the info you could ever want is in there now. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5707515#post5707515 :)

no! Its a complete piece of tat, avoid.

Incredible shots!

Big fan of your work. Cars are for driving, not for cleaning ;)

How often to the quaife units need stripping & rebuilding?

Good question, Fitting it certainly increased the volume from having a cat but more in the top end, the idle and cruising volume did not change, however I have never fitted a straight through decat on it so I can't make a good comparison. I will say though that my car is renowned as the quiet...

IIRC it's about £100, well made though, no complaints here :)

I was using the re-cutting as an example of the durability/size of truck tyres. Its not the process used here, If I understand correctly its an imitation tred literally bonded onto the original casing?

K-tec sell a silenced decat in the 2.5" bore. Very effective at muting the sound without killing it completely (still provides top end 'raspyness') & still provides the performance benefits of a decat :)

For me tyres are one of those rare items where you get exactly what you pay for, personally I haven't got a problem shelling out on a set of decent branded tires as I know they will be reliable, consistent and if they do develop a fault such as sidewall bulging also covered by a warranty. At the...

Weighed mine at 32.5kg if I remember rightly. Compare that to a 8kg one piece bucket and you've got some serious weight saving!

nope. lol. OEM are an excellent plug anyway. However cheaper alternatives that do exactly the same job can be had ;)

nope, a can will last quite a few times. You just need enough so that the element is covered in a film of spray throughout, not dripping!

Love a stealth black clio ;) I shudder at the thought of driving on Apex's though :dead:

Once you've cleaned the filter it needs about 12 hours to dry properly. Then coat it in this stuff, NOT wd40 as its too thin, does not act as a proper retention fluid. http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m17b51s1211p0

They're called sh!t-fit for a reason. Jack of all trades, master of non.

No worries, amazing what you can learn from a few hours of tuition, some of the best £-age I have spent on my car yet!

Lift-of-oversteer is predominately caused by weight transfer. As you let off the throttle the car's balance is shifted forward (due to lack of acc'n & engine braking taking effect). As a consequence the load on the rear wheels is significantly lightened = reduced grip. Think of is as if you were...

Did you get my PM Andy?

^ This is a good point; the attention to detail is exceptional - great work at getting the Recaro style seats to appear in the Silver car!

BG = lovely when clean, impossible to keep clean :(

wow!

lol I've just quoted & taken an order for a pair fitted with frames, replacement airbag & pretensioner resistors all in for £749.99 For example, an equiv alternative - same size, same FIA approval, same weight: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=REC070980184...

Teleporter would have been hauled upright and driven off without any fuss or repair needed I would expect. If anything the ST acted as a cushion to its fall!

lol at that image! These are the other guys where the friction was caused, based literally within eye sight of one another - my rollers bigger than yours seemed to be the general gist... http://www.powerengineering.co.uk/acatalog/power.htm

I run normal seatbelts with my Bimarco without any problem. It depends how high the seat side is - if the belt is held off you then not a good idea. The other thing to consider is the pretensioner. If the belt lies across the two sides of bucket and the pretensioner fires it can inhibit its...

Agreed, Could very well be unfounded BS.

Only word of mouth fluff so no basis for commenting or quoting, never been there, never had anything to do with them. Your more than likely right.

As in the Uxbridge based company? Only a stones throw from us, I have heard a few strange stories....
