I've done it. First time i had it a year, then sold it for 6 months. Still have it now 11 years after the original purchase

nope, it's not a breather, it's actually a vacuum take off for the carbon canister Andy, I've painted plenty of engines in normal paint and they cope fine

doesn't change anything that i'm aware of

depends if the you're inputing the info purely for reference or if it's being used to calculate losses. What type of dyno are we talking about?

that's a 172. The 182 breather box cover is different

that's a good simplified way to put it really. There's plenty more detail you can go into like the distance of the airbox from the trumpets, total volume of the box, total runner length.....the list goes on

not at all unusual for there to be cutting oils still on the metal from when the exhaust was made. There's also very likely condensation in the sound deadening within the boxes which will take a bit of heat to clear

very high temperature

the distance of the throttle butterfly/s from the valve would be the greatest difference. ITBs having the butterfly closer can give faster throttle response. More torque and more power lowe from ITBs in almost every instance too

new billet part. I wont bother with 428s at all tbh

clean with wheel acid, etch prime, then paint as normal. If you use VHT paint then skip the primer as it reacts and never goes hard (been there, done that lol)

this is the truth tbh. 428s have a standard exhaust cam

it's just possible (and i do mean JUST) with 421s IMO, but it wont idle well at all on FBW unless you have some faster control of it than the stock ecu, and that pushes the cost towards ITB levels. tricky choice

well maybe if you're renault or seimens

it can't be done. all you can do is data log and make changes, upload and see what effect the changes have made. Changes under load-holding cannot be made, the ecu just doesn't work in that way

£20 down halfords, done oh and uneven padwear wont be a warped disk, you likely have a seized or parly seized caliper

i heard this for the first time the other day. Apparently they've been phasing it in since 2007...... Makes sense really. a 6 litre v12 jag was grp 21a in 1995, and there's plenty of supercars that are massively faster and more valuable than that now. They needed a broader spectrum. Going to be...

that's a really tricky one as i know that willy is a very good example, but i do love a nice ph1. I think in this case the willy is a better example, but in general a really good 172 is a better daily drive

Pristine wheels in Woburn sands near Milton keynes. They do all the wheels for aston Martin heritage

the pulleys aren't keyed to the crank and cams. once you remove the crank pulley to remove the belt, the sprocket can move completely independantly

remove the rear sensor, and tuck it up under the heat shield in the tunnel, keeping it plugged in. It will see nothing but nice clean air

if it was melted it will have been a big restriction so acting as a silencer. New one should be flowing a lot more freely so it will be louder. Does sound like its pretty crap though

mmmm drilled disks, nice way to propagate cracking.

still munches the cover though, and they're over £200 a pop. Pointless waste of parts when a more freindly to use item will do the job just as well and last longer

ask where the calibration cerificate for his ears is

clio flywheel seems harder than the 200sx one i'm refering to, but the last helix cover i saw with about 10k on it was pretty munched. There's no need for them anyway, stronger clamping cover will increased torque handling, and with NA you'll never have huge torque. My RPS organic clutch on my...

Latest fad. couple of people have one break and do some scare mongering. Bit like water pumps a couple of years ago. I think i've only ever had to change 4 and that's from over 200 cambelt changes, and they were all rattling like crazy before i saw the car. Never had one develop a fault after a...

I would roll in that infact i would probably roll that when i forgot it was on 135 section tyres lol
