Certainly feels like it doesn't run out of breath so much at the top of 3rd and 4th. Running this one against the clock I get a low 15 something :approve: N8F2aEgnUMg

Great progress.

Stunning pics as usual Chris, I've been listening to the radio commentary almost all day, you were lucky with the weather!

Girth, that's what it's all about for me. Air feed after the filter into the bend is 39cm2 in area, but the standard airbox only has a feed in before the filter of 35cm2. Routing it this way means I've got a full 64cm2 to suck through and feed the filter...so theoretically, the engine...

Aye. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Probably. An overly long bolt on the alternator bracket, it was sticking up right where the CAF needed to go.

Will get it on the next Surrey Rolling Road to see if this Espace V6 airbox has made any difference. So, the afternoon started with Mike ripping this out... Then after a little jiggling about, this replaced it... Then after a flurry of activity... ...and a little head...

I know, I know...I'm on 98k but I live in hope.

Only ever Optimax/V-power for mine. Idles like a bag of nails on 95 RON and refuses to drag itself along in-gear in traffic on tickover. I'm sure I read somewhere that it takes a good tankful or so for the ECU to work out how best to use a new fuel? If that's the case continually chopping...

Oh b*ll*cks, that smarts.

That's cool.

LOL There's a message here.

Sticky tyres. Upgraded brakes. Lose weight. In that order, that's all you need to do; Sticky tyres... Any brand almost will do...I'm about the only one on here that hasn't run a set of Toyo 888s so can't comment on them. Apart from them Yoko A032s are my preferred choice. Upgraded...

For road use, DS2500s all day long. Carbon Lorraines are complete and total overkill for road use. They say a firm "f*ck you" to road use by rattling, clanking, and squeeling like you couldn't possible imagine, all the time. Now I consider myself a Cup hard man, but if it was being used...

Nice. That almost looks like jon_r's old one. Sniff.

...nor taste.

Spolier wins. Looks very nice.

That's really nice. I'm having one of them when the Focus dies on me.

Sell it.

My Cup has cost pennies to run per mile in the 102,000 miles I've covered in it. I let the trip go for about 3,500 milres recently after the clutch change, and including three trackdays and spirited road driving it was showing 37 mpg, which works out as a real 34 mpg. As Clarkson said, it's...

Thanks for all your help, decision has been made :approve:

Match what with what? So the cache size and speed is all important?

That looks nice.

I know they'd technically be overkill for what I need right now...I just want to make sure that what ever I get next is as 'futureproof' as is possible. Our current desktop was great when new, but one too many MS service packs and f*** knows what else has slowed it to a crawl...so I'm...

5 1/4 inch floppy drive FTW.

Assuming all other specs are the same which of these is better...and by how much...loads or just a teeny bit? I'd have thought the quad core would swing it? Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E4600 Processor (2.40GHz, 800MHz, 2MB cache) or Intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core Q6600 Processor (2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB...

Re: cup weight saveing I know what the tar stuff is...you're saying you took a load off of your Cup, from under the carpets? Mine never had any fitted...

Re: cup weight saveing Err, I'm thick. Only just noticed that he's got a spare wheel well. :o

Re: cup weight saveing Is it? Ooh. ;)
