A few have put clio v6 trophies on the road. Im sure if you wanted to you could get one on the road.

pmsl at Hammerite. That is god awfull stuff. Normal paint is fine if you want to paint it. I'm with Ali though, keep it silver.

I love Audi's but have never liked the look of any of the A3 and S3 range. I thought the RS3 was going to be the car that changed that. I also thought it was going to be the car that pissed the Focus RS in to the wind. After all, it could have been a flared out, butch looking 3 door hatch with a...

Thats because it runs on top fuel. Hence the crazy power with stupidly high compression on a turbocharged car running over 50psi.

With out doubt some awsome work there. The compressor wheel being the best! Alot of that machine work is common place in top fuel drag racing though.

Think i remeber Mark Evans rebuilding a bike box with something like that.

I know somebody who has developed something like that for years now. I bought my mini Miglia off of him. He owns Lynx Ae www.lynxae.co.uk

Not a bad idea to be honest. Ive never had anything cryo treated before so it could be worth a go. Ive built my own gearboxes in the past and I found that the dog boxes were easier to assemble than the full syncro type. I'm just not sure/familiar on how the selector mechanism works on sequential...

Yeah this is pretty much how I intend to drive the car to be honest as I know these things don't last like the typical syncro boxes. Thanks guys

Yep thats exactly what I thought Fred. They are essentialy dog boxes with a pre set way of selecting the gears. I have heard TDF is good and not too far away from me either. ps....Did I ever give you that new sensor back Fred???? I remember ordering it cant remember if I sent it up...

Lol I wish I didn't fear them but they are something that I'm just not that clued up on. Like I say, a few people have attempted tuning the v6 using huge ammounts of fancy technology which is great, should it all work in harmony as it should do. The plan is to build two low compression motors...

I mean to control the engine as far as rev matching for each gearchange. Trying to find out if its a case if you can use them like a typical dogbox through the gears or do i have to finely tune the motor so its a seemless change so to speak.

This is the problem. Ive heard that the box requires the engine to be bliped up to change down which then means the ecu needs some form of throttle control. Possible fly by wire throttle which I just don't want as I want these engines to be nice and simple with no fancy controls to go up the...

Over the next year or so, I'll be building two turbocharged v6 motors up for me and a fellow vee owner. The decision from the outset has been to ditch the weak PK6 gearbox's in favour of stronger ones as to improve the reliability. This will be done by machining a bellhousing adaptor and using a...

Ive used it for years on spring held joints and it works fine. I'm a plumber so have loads kicking around. Ive used it to join the collector box to the silencer on my vee which gets very hot after a good drive. 18 months later and not a blow on it. It doesn't melt or catch fire like some believe...

Is quite good to be fair. Shows that this Zonda doesn't take someone god like to drive it quickly.

Clarkson says that on his latest dvd ;) His face said it all when he drove it. For once he was pretty damn gobsmacked.

Looks really nice I reckon. I wouldn't go down the stretched tyre and big negative camber route fella. And its not because I'm not a fan of the "dub" "euro" or "hella" look. I just don't reckon Renault Sports pull it off. The tyre and wheel combo look perfect as is. In my opinion the best I've...

The quattro would look better on its orginal wheels or white comp's...........nice car none the less

That looks superb! Good colour choice too.......same as my Vee! Looks like nocturne anyway.

That is an epic car that was built for no other reason than just the fun off it. The gearbox sounded pretty fooooked by the end of the lap which was a shame.......does make me want a SADEV in my vee though.

Ok..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KwC-gaf4S4&feature=related

Northampton must be different then Turkish. There are a few EK9's up to the chavy antics around here and to be fair they all look and sound like utter s**t boxes. Shame as I know what you mean when it comes to respectable enthusiasts.

Thats exactly the point Turkish. Thats all they ever say. "You just got did by a 1.6 blood!!!!" . . . . . the typical chavy comment. Or if something over takes them something like "Yeah well it's a 1.6 mate". Them not realising I just sat back in my Volvo T5, turned my dolby surround stereo...

I like a few of them but none shout "awsome" to me unless its one of the big 600bhp turbo jobbies. Admitedly they have cracking little motors but they sound bloody horrific at full chat. You'll get a similar noise down the nearest council estate where some scrote has nicked a saxo or corsa the...

The engine to this car was for sale on racecarsdirect recently. Awsome machinery in my opinion.

Isnt that the one off ferrari based on an Enzo platform?

^^^^Now thats the money shot!^^^^ Quattro FTW. If only that picture had a sound track lol

That looks bang on in my opinion especially about halfway round. Is it a closed road/race track from time to time?

What sort of plank would do that to an engine bay?!
