Interesting - carry on, Ill keep an eye on this thread!

Assuming you dont want to overbore it or use forced induction youll get as much as possible out of it by getting some severe porting and flowing work done on the head, port matching of the head to the exhaust manifold, wild 300+ degree cams, increase the compression with forged high comp...

Thats wicked, mental yet subtle. I love those silver grilles.

From what Ive seen (in France mainly) its a pretty even match. Which is obviously why theres such a 172/CTR rivalry! Possibly the 172 needs more work to keep level than the CTR? I dont know... Ive not driven either. Anyway, it will be down to the driver so get down to your local industrial...

Did it make a big difference Brun?

OK so instead of messing about with cams why dont they just have all the valves controlled electronically with solenoids or magnets or something, so you can just time the valves to give optimum power at every point in the revs and have it all controlled by the ECU? Or has someone already...

OK this is it AFAIK (on a valver) Total fuel capacity is 50 litres. That consists of one main tank and one reserve tank which is lower down. Under the car you can see the two tanks. Assuming its totally empty when you put the petrol in, the reserve tank fills first, once its full then the main...

So what is Powerboost foam and what are the different coloured lines supposed to be ?

So if there were no rules and no spending limit, you would run basically the biggest engine you could physically fit in the car?

Yeah did I still dont know who was quicker? My ignition cut out for some reason but it was a top race along the A127 and A130!

Heres a plan Maciek. Come to the UK and buy the stuff you need then back to Poland. Think of it as a nice holiday.

Phil, you took the words right out of my mouth. And dont anyone say it must have been while you were kiss-ing me...

Paddy, no worries on that score at York, thats why everyone whos been, keeps going back again and again...you get so many runs you eventually have to take a break from it! They run whatever the weather, and dont stop for lunch breaks or a speck of dust on the track. And its a lot drier than...

Not my specialist subject Brun but if I were you Id get down to one of those places that does a free brake check so you can rule out simple stuff first.

Many have thought of it, none have attempted it! Im sure it could be done though, why dont you be the first?

Flying Scotsman - its gonna be my standard Williams box which is the longest/toughest off-the-shelf you can get for an old Clio. An integral part of the build is that BB put a custom clutch which is 15mm bigger than standard to take all the extra torque. But like any transmission, if you abuse...

Empty your mailbox Brun!

OK will do. And we better move this discussion over to the events forum as well...

So how long will it be before you run into your fellow member in Africa then?
