Re: Light Correction Detail - RenaultSport Clio 200 Silverstone Number 50/50 - Hard B
Nice job, really brought the colour out.
Who's Milly and where can I get one lol :D

If you've got the cash like Fred said earlier just go balls out especially for racing or at least build from scratch. It's just so hit and miss otherwise. Tony and Jay's original engine did bloody well...

Fair enough, in fairness I'm talking in the past, as I said earlier their averaging figures seem to have gone up and up over the last year or so. But ho-hum
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
lol nothing different mate. It's just been machined together and is brand new. All I was getting at is Phil's engine is just a cup that's had a good life, and he's not really done anything fancy other than...

lol I know I'm just being knobby as usual, but it's like everything if you take it apart is it ever the same. It's a shame Renault want 3,000 just for the block last time I checked. Should be buy one get one free.
Cool, think I know the one you're on about where they've put the logo in yellow fontage. Not seen one in the flesh though
And as above, especially seeing as you're running standard cams. Midrange is fecking awesome on throttle bodies!
KTR kit is designed by Jenvey and also IIRC a direct to head alternative to the kit that Jenvey offer off the shelf, so in short you are actually better off going to KTR both price wise and kit wise. Just make sure you fit a proper air filter.

That's because yours is factory fit with bolt on bits.
I've decided F4R's are like tumours, soon as you open them up or replace anything they wither and die LOL
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
totally standard belt gubbins on cup setup, nowt fancy. Very easy through the gears so it's quite nice to drive 'normally'
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
It's funny though, as mine made 178ftlbs which from the application of 428s and throttle bodies is definitely HIGH but it does pull very well. So I'm happy, just maybe not 178ftlbs happy. It is just a number...

Oh sod engine dynos, I meant the rollers yeah sorry. They just generally seem to have higher outputs (superflow) from what I've seen is all. I would wager that when calibrated it's a lot easier to get a higher...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
So it does read higher, it's just not directly comparable. Thanks, that's better. I shouldn't of said over read, especially with you around. lol.
I'm not disputing anything you say, you just go clinically...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Why is it a silly statement exactly? Or are you just over deciphering everything as usual lol. I'm not saying it can't be calibrated, but Superflow read HIGHER than DD dynos do they not?
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Get your facts straight. Paul at RS Tuning has made amendments to it prior to leaving, but Matt and Paul work fairly closely, I can't see any reason to doubt either of them.
You seem pretty quick to judge...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
LOL. Well the plus side is my mate, which if you read fast ford you will have seen it has one currently, and has been in the Ford scene for years. So it'll be with him just 2 minutes from here all the time...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I was going to say that, but they fitted mine in April so I'd rather not tempt fate lol. I'm thinking of binning mine off and buying an Escort Cossy that's down the road from me. I need a change of scenery...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Could debate the reason till you're blue in the face TBH! Think it's pretty clear that it wasn't really a strong engine to start with lol.
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Make that four please.
Can't believe your luck James! Onward and upward though as always lol.
Contemplated putting this in the Harris thread but this cars a bit special. Saw the design concept couple years ago and thought they'd never ever put it into production, but alas..awesomes

I think Chris is probably not wrong in this case tbh, there was no chance it would feel the same. Forza 4 worked for many reasons, and choosing to chop the frame rate in favour of otherwise IMO was a massive fail.
