picture of the rear springs please. They changed the design/spec as there were some reported issues with a batch, and I think the replacement springs were a bit longer
can't believe i'm reading this. Honestly, do the test in the instructors car. They choose cars that are easy to drive and hard to stall to give you a better chance of passing.
I passed in a mk1 Clio 1.9 dti
looks better on my laptop screen as it's bigger. Phone pic so the quality isn't the best so zooming it makes it too blury. I quite like it though. It's like a hurd of buffalo approaching
as above, be careful not to bend it. That pipe is expensive to replace (well over £100 for the part), and it's difficult to access the rack end of it as there's almost no room to turn a spanner
highly likely it is from the cat to middle section join as the olive joint on the back fo the cat can be a real fiddle to seal properly. Not many aftermarket exhausts have the flare swaged perfectly, and quite often even a new clamp is poor quality. I use genuine clamps after having non genuine...
it's all marketing anyway, for both companies. Sell each other components and licence technologies. Sue each other constantly and get everyone talking about it. How else is samsung ever going to get their name plastered across the screen on the 6 o'clock news?

not sure how you could use an alignment tool on an F4R as there isn't anything for it to locate into on the crank. Some kits come with an insert you knock into the crank for an aligment tool. I normally line...

Fantastic day, had me jumping up and down like an excited kid through most of the race. Superb result, you both drove the wheels off that car
I think these made the difference
dynodynamics cannot do run down losses. i favour this method myself as it accounts for so much more than a calculated loss and is harder to cheat (tightening straps and forcing thr car onto the front rollers is a technique some use to cheat figures on a DD)
depends on the rollers. Unless you use the same rollers all the time for lots of cars it's hard to put specific figures to anything. All you can really do is look at before and after and see what you gain. Seems a pretty reasonable power figure you've been given though
