lol yeah Ill do that now!

There are quite a few in your area...I think you have to be a member to see the member list for each area of the country, but youre definitely not alone down there on the South Coast! Congratulations on your choice anyway, much better than a Corsa

LOL those last two are mentalist! Boys you gotta come to France next year for the night runs: itll be like a dream come true.

Yeah anti lag is *kind of* the same thing as full throttle gearchange; it keeps the fuel going when you change gear, which goes into the cylinder and straight out again, causing an explosion in the manifold, thus keeping the turbo spinning as if you still had your foot down. I hear it can be a...

Good work!

lol yeah those RTs really fly once theyre behind another Clio! I dont know why but they do seem to perk up once theres something in front of them. I think the most I got out of my old totally standard 1.4 RT was about 110mph? And maybe that was downhill as well. I know it took ages to get there...

Sorry I missed the first one, what happened yesterday? BTW mine pisses out fluid all the time, just not all in one day, but I have had days when its gone all over the bonnet right down to the grille. And I only just put a new pump in a few months ago! Craggys in your area, but I dont know how...

IS that a new one youve got there mate?

Mark Ill get the ruler and spirit level out next time we meet up and Ill see how bad it really is. Squirt -dont worry theres no way anyone could mistake you for a boy!:o

Can someone explain all the possible reasons for a backfire big enough to lift the bonnet and blow an airbox apart? Its a 1.8 16v, obviously multipoint injection, running fast road cams with slightly more overlap and duration than standard but not exactly wild - 264 degrees inlet and 256...

Frosty - that is one of the best explanations of flaming exhausts that I have ever read. Nice one!

Actually while Im here, anyone got any ideas about what would have caused the monster backfire? Cos Ive never ever had a car that backfired before so Im not that great on the theory! But by the destruction in the engine bay, thats definitely what it was. All I can think is that at low revs...

BTW Cheers Dash I might just have to take you up on that if mines not in one piece before Brands Hatch. At least Ill arrive in style in your V6 mate!:cool:

lol you caught me out! :oops: Well anyway, I finally got the flames I wanted...from the wrong end of the car unfortunately! Took it up to BB today to get the decat pipe swapped over and do a couple of power runs, one normal and the second one on gas. Ive not had it on the rollers since I put...

Yeah Neil I wasnt comparing it to a larger engined Clio, my point is that the Extreme is a tidy car for the money and it certainly looks the part. What I actually meant was that when I first saw it, I saw the Extreme badge and Im sure I instantly drew comparisons between an Evo VI/VII Extreme...

Mark, you seen the pics from High Beach?
