    The Super Cup - First Proper Photos

    CL .. careful lady ? :quiet: Car looks good ... One question about your dark inlet manifold .. do you get worse heat soak issues with that than standard ..?! Mine were roasting hot until i had new matched inlets and the PTFE gaskets put on. Now after even a few hours driving, they are...

    Whats in petrol (explained)

    Hey man .. gimme a break ! :rasp: I'd been at work since 7am, and was trying to look busy (whilst reading all of Cliosport instead of actually doing my uber-dull job) and its been over a year since I finished my degree in Motorsport Engineering ! My brain no longer works very well. It is not...

    Whats in petrol (explained)

    Interesting read .. The higher the number, the less prone to detonation it is (petrol exploding before the spark). The more stable the mixture, then the higher compression and bigger the bang .. bigger bang means more force to send the piston back down, and the more power you get..! :)...

    Oil Temp - Worried!!

    I'd guess lack of coolant (split hose / radiator ) or dead water pump.

    Oil Temp - Worried!!

    That's water temp .. not oil temp sir !! Check the coolant levels.... (and don't take the radiator cap off if it's as hot as i think it is lol)

    tripod experiment/night shots

    I can't find the best WB setting for night ! Custom WB is too much hassle most of the time, esp. with long exposures.. What do you recommend ? :o

    tripod experiment/night shots

    Good start ! There's some crackers there, with a bit of PS tweaking ;) Two things I learnt from shooting at night .. 1: Shoot RAW (if you can) and get them looking natural (without the yellow/orange glow) within a few seconds on PhotoShop. 2: Use the timer - 2 seconds is enough .. it...

    Anyone seen this piece?

    75HP +5hp (induction kit) and +10hp for 2 drainpipes hanging out the back. 20% gain for that ? Impressive. Clearly has the rolling road to prove this .... One thing that surprises me is that it's written in clear, concise English and full of spulling errors and capitals ! One thing that does...

    Best place to buy 172 Matched Inlets ? and Opinions from people with them fitted

    JAM-sport highly recommended ! Much more driveable .. picks up much better from 2k, and goes like a rocket to the big numbers !! Notable higher MPGs on a long journey .. (back from JAM-Sport compared with journey to JAM-Sport) Two thumbs up from me ...

    Matched Inlets Group-Buy 09 (Official Thread)

    3-4" is FAR too much .. I managed it in mine with about 40mm of front clearance (as you saw today, Mark!) when we had masses of snow last week in Kent. :rasp: But on a more serious note ..: Most of this afternoon was spent at Jam-sport .. It's awful there ... :rolleyes: I had to sit...
