    a small quiz for a sunday night...

    OK off the top of my head: 1. Unless its some kind of trick question that I havent spotted, its ambigous, because it would depend on what gear they were in and whether they actually accelerated and by how much. 2. The only ICI I can think of is Imperial Chemical Industries. Need a bit...

    First (& best!) Donny South pic!

    Errr well Im not that big apart from around the middle, 510" tall. But after all the lovely ladies we say this weekend it made a refreshing change to see a quality model who wasnt 6 ft tall with her arse hanging out and bloody great high heels on! And believe me we saw plenty of them. Rob J...

    Williams & 16V differences

    well itd be a Willy every time for me if I hadnt already spent so much on my valver. To my mind theres no competition, 2.0 power is the way to go, ok the figures may not say much but the point is that you really have to wring out a 16v to get it flying, a Willy is more leisurely and when you...

    1.2’s and hills...

    Well mine was a Fiesta 1.0 Popular. Headrests, a glove box, a factory-fit stereo and a rear demister or wiper were, sadly, not even standard. You had to get the Popular Plus for the luxury of a demister. But I swear that was the toughest little car I ever had and did lovely jumps over hump back...

    FAO 1/4 mile guys

    Yeah its all in the start mate. Once youre rolling its just a question of keeping it on the boil, stay in the power band, slick/fast gearchanges and if youre nearing the line at the top of 3rd say, just hold it if you can, dont be tempted to change up unless you absolutely have to, youll lose...

    Heat Wrap

    The only bit that needs doing is the manifold and possibly the downpipe if you really want to go to town. The rest of the system doesnt get hot enough. Demon Tweeks have it in their catalogue. Beware though it is very tricky stuff unless your manifold is a very simple shape, and you will find...

    Nick Read’s 1/4 Mile Run

    I still *want* to come to York. Whether I have the money to do it or not is very touch and go at the moment...I still wanna cane all the Northern boys on their home track!

    Nick Read’s 1/4 Mile Run

    Err it must have been me cos I was there. Not last weekend but the weekend before I think? Last year my best was 15.7 at the Revs day, no gas, just a few simple mods, exhaust, filter, pbv etc. Put the gas in last year as well but if you can believe it this was my first chance to quarter mile...

    Brace yourselves - you’re NOT going to like this!!

    Well in a way Id argue that in gear times are what counts on the road. And the Vectra seems to p*ss all over most things that you see about. Of course the downside is that however fast it is, it will always be a Vectra. Often I tank around in a Citroen something or other 1.9 diesel and it...

    Induction - any ideas

    Yeah I often wonder how they got away with selling so many open induction kits for so long. Probably cos cars used to have more room inside their engine bays. They definitely can work on some cars, just not big-engined Clios.

    EXHAUST PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The ECU doesnt even know that the cat exists. It makes absolutely no difference to it at all. All it looks for is the lama signal, the sensor is in the downpipe anyway, not the cat.

    I CRASHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    duckson - having to park my car on the road, because I have no garage or driveway, in the roughest part of Southend could have something to do with it as well.

    Gearing question

    Well it seems to be quicker, maybe its just my imagination though. Its definitely stronger though, which is exactly what i need.

    Induction - any ideas

    Mike, yeah a closed induction kit with a scoop will definitely not let hot air in, youre right. My definition of induction kit is an open cone filter of some kind with a couple of crappy bits of pipe that dont fit properly and blow cold air roughly in the direction you want while all the...

    not again...! ! !

    Get a K&N (or any other performance brand, it makes no difference at all) filter element for your airbox. Use the original airbox and ducting if you still have it. It feeds down to the bottom passenger side of the engine bay just in front of the wheelarch. On the other side of this panel...

    Goodyear F1 gsd3

    Dont know the GSD3. The old GSD2 pattern is the one I know which were definitely the best tyres Ive driven. I like my Toyos at the moment but Id still go back to Eagles for their wet weather performance if I had the money!
