Dont get a custom exhause if its power gains your after. K-Tec do do a range of quieter exhaust now.

I was really impressed with the rr result after my K-Tec got fitted.

Demon Tweeks have just phoned me to let me know my alloys will be in tomorrow. Wont have chance to get to Wrexham til Friday though.......cant wait! 16" Momo Fighters with 195/45 Goodyear GSD3s. Got some bolt in alloy valves and locking wheel nuts thrown in for pretty much nothing too...

Toyos are very good in the dry in my opinion (I have them on my valver at the moment) and pretty good in the wet (not the best, but defo not the worst) Uniroyals are awesome in the wet from what Ive heard, and good in the dry. GSD2s are awesome in the dry and very good in the wet No...

The change in rolling diameter makes a slight change to the gearing but nothing as bad as what your describing e.g. only 50 in 2nd. with 195/45/15s the speed in each gear on the red line would be approx; 1st - 36mph 2nd - 62mph 3rd - 85mph 4th - 111mph

Youll want a tyre with a V speed rating (thats good for up to 149mph) Best tyres in my opinion are; Toyo Proxies T1-S (Very good value for money) Uniroyal Rainsports (Awesome in the wet) Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD2 Goodyear GSD3

Demon Tweeks are quite good with tyres (especially with the discount)

You say you are changing at 7 or a little below, so Id say you are giving it plenty. How long have you had the car? Has it always been like this?

Standard rev limiter is set at 7200RPM A chip can raise it to 7600RPM Add some cams, then you can raise it to 8000RPM

Its worth what people are willing to pay.... Just for example, I bought my 95M last year with 48K on too, mint! It was up for £4K which I thought was very reasonable, but managed to get it for just £3250 cos the garage wanted rid of it (only dealt with new clios) and I dont think they knew...

Thats approx upto 7K RPM. You obviously can go higher by going to the limiter at 7200RPM

IMO they are worthwhile, but, they need setting up properley on a rr. No point fitting them otherwise, cos theyll make no difference or infact make it run worse.

Its all about keeping it in the powerband i.e. above 4.5K RPM.

Yes, they are very good!

Not the most sensible thing to do (unless the opposite tyre is almost brand new)

PMSL! So no one believes my valver gets to 60 in 4secs! :oops:

Sounds wrong. Changing on the red line will give you approx; 1st - 38mph 2nd - 64mph 3rd - 88mph 4th - 115mph 5th - 139mph I know its hard to gauge, but does it feel like your going as fast as the speedo says. i.e. When you following loads of cars in a 30 zone all doing 30 what...

Respec

nice one mate. Just wait til you can use all those revs!

You should have looked at it before you lowered it. & I dont theres enough adjustment in it with a -80mm drop. Best to let someone who knows their stuff look at it.

Look in the gallery, Im sure theres a valver with one on in there......

My brother wasnt impressed by ABP when he took his VTS there for some work. Go with HillPower!

Happens to most of us mate!

Theres some guy with a valver a few streets down from me, whose missing a couple of centre caps now. Im keeping a close eye on mine at the moment, at least Id know who it was if any went missing!

ditto again......

Must be a typo. Should be 175bhp Im guessing. Thats 16v_ers old valver.

yeah just sounds like surface rust on the discs.

Well its not an ad as such. Its in Fresh Stuff just showing new products on the market and they are the contact for them.

Im getting some GSD3s (Goodyear dont call these tyres the F1) with my new alloys in about 2 weeks. Ill let you know what I think of them......

Was just about to ask that. Thought I was pretty much spot on with what I said.
