V12 EVO's. It's not a track car really, it's a road car I'm doing a few track sessions in.

does ;)

yes near enough the same way. was done like that before on this engine I built, so knew it worked

Trying some Hankooks, although I've got enough meat on some Paradas for track day at Bedford on 26th, so they'll go on after that

it's silky smooth, drives like standard when you want it to, and takes off like a beast when you need it to :D Need final map tweaks then I'll put some graphs up. It's quick ;)

Thanks :) Also fitted some nice new Pagid OE replacement disks and pads, to rid my life of greenstuff, and spent a while adjusting the SPAX coilovers. Also ordered a set of tyres for the OZ F1's so they'll be going on soon.

Few loose ends and bit of tidying done Behemoth of a filter to fit over the long trumpets Had an adaptor made for the original loom to the TPS. No cutting wires here GEN90 ECU plugged straight in, and mounted to the original bracketry Engine bay done! complete with Nimbus heatshielding

You know I don't fit new parts that I don't supply right? Call me, I'll take you out in my Spax equiped car

that's new. since when?? Just checked and it's still on the parts system

I wouldn't do it for £80.

I don't like bilsteins really. They're hopeless if you strip the car out, and there's still a fundamental issue with the front shocks wearing out/developing play too quickly. (same as H&R) Want something high quality, get Spax. Want budget, get Vmaxx.

worse than standard!!!!!!

HTC have shown their Sense 4.0 skin for ICS today. http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/htc-sense-4-0-on-ice-cream-sandwich-looks-smooth-in-video-50007183/

different part number, driveshaft is a different length. I would very much doubt they're the same

ask them for the SKF ones

that sounds nothing like a dephaser noise. The aux belt is quite long so there is always some noise from it. You may have an issue with something else in that area that's belt driven, but being paranoid about noises is as effective as picking your nose with a tree

at 5k sinc it was all done, you'd get away with just an aux belt rather than a kit (provided it was changed before) If i'd fitted the cambelt kit, I'd be happy to change just the belt and not the tensioner and idlers at that miles, but not if someone else had fitted them (dubious history) I'd do...

I would insist on changing belts on any engine I fitted. WAY too much scope for finger pointing/blame if something did go wrong. Infact there would be a bit of a list of jobs I'd want to do, that would make it seem expensive, but be much more longterm sensible

as I said earlier in the thread, no exhaust on the market will give gains on it's own. The standard system is very good

first I've seen or heard of it. Is this a standard late type diff, or one of the upgrades that are available?

yeah seen it a dozen times or more, crank pin drops into a balance drilling and they don't bother to check the flywheel marking

looks like the cams would have lined up, and they got the crank pin in the wrong hole

I told a local factor what they were retailing for online recently. They practically told me to f**k off

it's a ph2. There's no idle control valve

bit of a trick to fitting the vibratecnics without excessive vibration (there will always be a little more than standard) You have to fit all the mounts loosely and let them sit under no tension first, THEN tighten them up, rather than fit one at a time fully tight. Common mistake

you won't get power gains from an exhaust on it's own

arggg, college physics lesson flashbacks

for symbian, the ui doesn't look too bad. However it's nokia missing the point of what they should be doing to recapture some market share yet again

I also believe it's pointless. any improvement is a placebo effect
