No! A tyres normal life is 5 years, that tyre will be well it - I'd never let a tyre that old anywhere near my car

Sneak preview ;)

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner FLOL! Don't say that, Mike will have a heart attack

Flol! Well do you do make a good cuppa ;)

Looking great!

hey mate long time no speak! Great result! I need to pop back up for a cuppa and a nosey at the mini lol

Bear in mind I have had about 6 172's now that if I topped the bottle up to max, it would vent some out until it was just above minimum, then stayed there lol - good old french. So keep checking it, but i'd lay a bet it will settle to a level where it won't move again

So pretty shocking then!

Claire's sister gave me one of them for Xmas lol, must start building it soon - a bit different to the last engine I built but hey ho, still good fun :)

Don't do what I did - a few little tweaks ended up with a 12G295 cooper head, 1.5 roller tip rockers, 286 cam, 1.5 inch su, on and on! Best thing to do is buy Dave Vizards book - read it, then read it again. Then go have a cup of tea, then read it again

Nope, will keep an eye out for ya! I tend to be in Swindon a few times a month

You would need rod bolts as Dan says, and looking into getting rid of the standard lifters and going solid, plus better valves = £££££££ - plus I wouldn't want to have substained revs that high, anything could break - rods included. Can you give us some more info into why you want it to rev...

I'd rather buy 2nd hand, only because they don't really wear much and it would save you a lot of money. But yes, it does seem a good set up, though i don't like the sound of ready mapped ecu - obviously it is a base map but they make it sound like it's ready to go

Is it franks? American guy, I've spoke to him a few times off the Lotus owners club - complete nutter

You know more than most mate, and after seeing various cars you know where I get my opinion from lol I have used RS Tuning twice for mapping, after contacting various companies to ask about mapping my itb's on the standard ECU - all told me it was imposible other than Paul, who said 'sure...

I'm guessing he is talking about the large power gain which was posted, to which was questioned, then the difference in intake temps were noted, to which then the reason behind the large power gain is explained - I think he may be pointing at Ktec should have maybe said that right away to the...

Car looks good mate! I'm only up the road in Malmesbury :)

Agreed, as we know with my old S3 lol
