That didn’t turn out well for a lot of 80’s TV presenters.

Probably around £15k to see those figures if its even possible, @NorthloopCup will be the man to ask

Spring rates too high for your soft wallowing tyres fitted to the rear, remove the rear anti roll bar to reduce roll stiffness and try again to see if it’s improved, 500 lb + springs aren’t ideal in cold conditions with squishy sidewall road tyres

Red line= Original SM intake and cat cams 438 Green line = lightly ported RS stamped 182 lower manifold and 438 cam The car was much quicker on the standard inlet over the SM (Hillclimb results to back it up, not arse dyno opinion).

Would the trailer be ex Porsche Leeds by any chance ?

if it only does it when the engine's warm yes possibly crank sensor, if it's sporadic and the immobiliser light is on its the uch try a crank sensor first as it's a £8 part and takes 10 minutes to swap, york motor factors will stock it too

It'll be @Louis or @Sj1782

Stupendously loud exhaust?

Shame it only goes upto 150c as would be ideal for brake temps on track

Double digit IQ and a SnapBack required for GTR ownership

Did you make sure the special spacer washer went back on between the stub axle and wheel bearing/disc assembly

Back to Toyo R1R then

research from looking through news reports

I'd be really annoyed if it had just had the de-phaser and cam belt service done.

Reminded me of when I popped a knacker through the base a plastic chair on holiday and couldn’t move

Just watching this video would suggest to me that the head bolts don't have enough stretch in them causing the block to crack in the thread casting area due to heat expansion between the head and block

Probably, but I think they forgot to factor in “driven by ham fisted Neanderthals” variable into the equation... Only kidding, heat cycles are what people are thinking is the issue

Not so much of an issue this time of year Dan, but I would look into an enclosed air box for the filter to keep summer intake temps as low as possible, something like a ITG maxogen from a Audi TT.

You'll end up with radiation poisoning off that thing

" those wheels " couldn't resist :kissingheart:

I'm sure someone will have a UCH, ECU and keys for sale for less than what Renault will rob you Put a wanted ad up, It's a plug and play job Jim

I would say you have too much rear spring bias anyway and adding a rarb would push it to being too tail happy, I would run a 525-550 front spring with a 600 rear and wouldn't bother with a rear arb but fit a PMS axle strengthening kit instead

In gear oil ?

I think Jim is my new hero if he can use the car as a daily on those poundage springs for more than a month

The Harness is now in the Micra, The seat has been smuggled into the loft before mrs bash spotted it, got a picture with James sat in it so I can use the old ''You've seen it before, I've had it ages'' and show photographic evidence to back it up when I pull it out to use it in a few months...

Can't wait to buy it off you just after christmas:smile:

Reduction in unsprung weight makes the suspension keep the tyre on the road more of the time, BUT! Faster acceleration comes form the moment of inertia, which is ''a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, which is the sum of the products of the mass of each...
