    ktec and their power claims.....

    It's so amusing on this forum how so many people have a "butter wouldn't melt in their mouth" attitude I love K-Tec for a mail order company, they've been utterly superb with me over the last 2 years. Ordered parts at 5pm and had them at 8am the next day. The lads are really friendly, Martin is...

    Jenvey ITB's on ebay

    What's so bad about DTH? Other than K-Tecs self destructing air filter I'm so glad I got Jenveys - the build quality is worth it alone That kit on ebay is actually a hell of a bargain if it really does come with solid fuel rail etc.. And a base map to get you going An afternoons work...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    Problem is the point where the nipple contacts at the bottom is quite small and broken through into the fluid reservoir if you grind it - it will just make the opening bigger and harder to seal :( If it was me I'd try some brand new bleed nipples just and tighten 'em a bit more than I usually...

    Proper ITB filter

    I like how my carbon backplate looks - plus on the Jenveys you need a deep dish backing plate to clear the fuel rail (thats my excuse anyway) lol

    Real world cost of boost

    I see andyrg fitted a megane 225 head and turbo etc.. onto a 172 bottom end That way you keep the 172 box Would be nice to have the 6 speed box from the 225 too though

    Real world cost of boost

    I'd quite like a 225 engine - it's probably cheaper to fit one than it is to turbo the 172 engine :(

    Real world cost of boost

    Change of situation.. Last 2 years have been supporting a girlfriend through Uni. She's getting a job again in June and I'll be back to having a bit of disposable dosh Obviously it's getting 888's or 595 RS-R's or something first, and I want to change the seats to something that hold me a bit...

    Real world cost of boost

    Oh looking at K-Tecs rotrex kit it can fit straight onto a Cup where the Air Con pump is meant to be £4k though... ouch - even selling the Omex and bodies and everything with them I'd have a £2.5k bill But 250bhp is tempting!

    Real world cost of boost

    Yeah I'd rather keep the Omex over an RS Tuner map on standard ECU LOL I would have to buy standard inlet manifolds again as I sold mine, and the ECU loom would probably need doing How does a supercharger conversion compare? I know in the 106 scene you used to be able to buy a bracket and...

    Real world cost of boost

    There's a lot of things going through my head at the moment with the Clio... I won't bore you all to death with it.. but one of them is to sell the bodies (and omex if needed), buy a spare low mileage engine and build up a turbo'd lump. Roughly (and I know this is an how long is a piece of...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    I think perhaps the issue with having to save a few pennies in places and not having the full spec engine he wanted, and maybe even going out this year to get some time in the seat without a full spares package has a lot to do with spending £££££'s on a car that then wasn't reliable or race...

    Best thing I've done in 2013 so far (new phone)

    It's still like carrying a house brick in your pockets - and the screen is too big to reach with your thumb You need to be using both hands which drives me nuts

    Camera Bags

    I use a ThinkTank retrospective too - one of the best bags on the market as far as I'm concerned and you can get a 70-200 on a body in it.

    Best thing I've done in 2013 so far (new phone)

    ^^ This I sold my iPhone 4 this week and went to play with the new samsung galaxy s2.1 web3.0 or whatever they're called just to give them a chance Holy s**t it wouldn't even fit in my pocket Bought an iPhone 5 - there's still no decent alternative

    Camera Bags

    Well even if I was trying to be more helpful - here's the information you missed - Style of bag. Backpack? Sling Shoulder? Journalist? - Equipment. DSLR? Lenses? iPad/Tablet? Laptop? Rangefinder/CSC? Do you want to carry a tripod in it or on it? - Design preference. Want something that's...

    Tech question on shock absorbers

    You can't transfer how a car suspension works to a plane AFAIK planes don't use springs on the suspension - it's just a giant piston with oil and the friction of moving through the oil absorbs the impact I would have thought a spring is a very bad idea when landing a plane on perfectly...

    Camera Bags

    Oh cool - so do a search to see what bags people use, they all look s**t, so ask what bags people use and expect a different answer to last time Good luck with that

    Cant loosen Front shock abosrber

    You've only got three choices here 1) Drive to kwikfit or motasave or whatever is near you and friendly - ask them to just rattle the nuts on, takes literally 8 seconds and they'll do it for a bit of beer money 2) Drive to toolstation like I did and fork out £110 on a cordless impact gun...

    Electric power steering

    ^^ That's also my major concern with it The steering on the Megane 250 I blatted around Brands Hatch was shite - it turned in quickly and handled well but the steering wheel felt like an xbox one - there was no feedback from the road at all :(

    Electric power steering

    Defo put it on a variable switch - no PAS on track is a nightmare I was going to switch at some point this year to a saxo/106 electric pump, but after seeing James (BIGASH) convert to the dci electric column I'm VERY tempted to do that It works out at about £100 in parts and then you end...

    Starter button kit help please!!

    Sounds like you're blowing fuses Step away from the electrics In a car that is already legendary for UCH issues - I really wouldn't feck about with the electrics just to install a fast&furious starter button lol

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    I use the same as what Dan does - it's stupidly cheap and easy The pressure ones I've had before have all blown seals or gone wrong in some spectacular way That one Dan's posted is just a pipe with a one way valve at the end so it can't suck air back in - works spot on

    Box on the positive battery clamp?? Help ASAP

    Oh that bit! I think it's just a 90 degree bend but it may contain also act as a fuse like the mega fuses

    Box on the positive battery clamp?? Help ASAP

    It's usually just a cover to stop anything landing accidentally on the positive terminal and shorting the battery out

    Starter button kit help please!!

    Where are you going to install it? And what's the point if you have to put the key in and turn it before being able to use the button?
