It differs so much car to car, when I ran the 14.2 I had throttle bodies, but also had a boot full of crap, half a tank of fuel and 28 degree heat, where as a few on here (Chris and nick is one iirc) who have got 14.2/14.1 running breathing modifications and a bit of strippage. On the flip...

Wrong section, close mind ;) I would go dark silver, would look lovely with the red

to be fair a 2.3 60ft time isn't 'that' bad for a light front drive hatchback, I think my 14.2 was 2.2 60ft from memory

I love Pod - so much fun! I am aiming beat the 14.2 I did in my last 172

In his last thread he said he paid £390 Mick - though he said he went with them as you were fully booked?

looks great mate :)

1.8 GL, turbo rep

It's great, but very grounding - I mean apart from a few corners there is literally no run off - so no matter what speed you're doing, if you spin/tyre blows/dodge a rabbit, you can be in serious trouble. Another tough thing is remembering which way the track goes - I played it a few times a...

It will always judder more in 1st, as that is picking up drive, where as the other gears there is much less stress on the clutch. I still say clutch fault, take it to Fred

Yes, you can drive to an MOT station when not taxed/or on sorn as you need a valid MOT to get your tax. You need to be insured mind

the stud through the mount needs to be correctly in, otherwise it will give movement

Tell them you left that tag on, and believe they have not removed the box, and say as they have fitted a part that is not fit for purpose you want your money back - if not you will be contacting trading standards. quite simple, so they shUnfortunately, this is the pitfalls of using a company...

Welcome :)

Is there anything you don't do?!

Seems to ENJOY MAKING a few words in every centence in CAPITAL letters. Also seems to LIKE saying FIRST EDITION alot. Strange bunch of people, the general public. Oh, and ptobably needs a cambelt. A FIRST EDITION cambelt.

Oh, I have the remains of my old engine to sell too - hopefully will bring the total spent even lower :)

Yes fit a standard Valeo clutch. You do not want to be going out there with the idea of driving as hard as you can or as you put it 'seeing what the cars capable of' - there is NO run off and you're 700 miles from home so don t get carried away, just enjoy the drive around it and don't go mental...

I thought I would sit down last night and run through what the car owes me - I am determined not to waste money, and so far it's going pretty well: The car as it stands including buying the car itself and fitting: 2nd hand engine New Valeo clutch Genuine cambelt and aux belt kits, cam caps...

Fitting a cold feed hose will not stop heat soak. It is an open filter in a super hot engine bay, it will get hot and heat up the air entering, a pipe wont change that - remember at speed and the air velocity under the bonnet will mean the slightly cooler air going in the pipe will hardly be...

Maybe he means powerwrap? As in a form of heat shield? Unless he has some stardrive fitted lol

with the amount of air flowing through the engine bay at speed, I can't see a pipe pointing at the filter doing anything noticable. Id be making something tbh if you wish to keep an open filter

Looks very shiney!

Have to say it looks stunning in person, Sam really knows what he is doing, real credit to him and I look forward to my next visit lol
