Touches wood... I've never lost mine. Can get one from a Ford for a few quid on ebay so I'm told

and block the pressure reference pipe that goes to the top of it, but basically yes. I think the long recirc pipe back to the turbo intake can be removed fully to make it a little neater (y) oh be careful yanking the pipe work near the throttle body, the boost pipes are plastic and can fracture.

I don't sorry, I'm super pikey and didn't use a bung, I used a huge blanking grub screw because it fit :oops: 😁 as I don't have the pipework I cant check it either.

like this.... easiest way would be a DIY open air filter couple of dump valve bungs, bobs your uncle fanny's your aunt

looks good that, ns2 means its ready for full send (y) you might find it a little bland to a 197 but a few little tweaks will waken it up :D

No messing about 👍🏻

on the mend now cheers man, well 8 week wait to see if a medication is going to work but ill be reet, nowt new just keep on plodding(y)

Don't be silly, that's effort lol. I have got some satin black wrap I was going to do them both with just not got round to it yet (totally forgot)

AND when you go out and look at it a few hours later its covered in dust again 🤦‍♂️ Another reason I don't like cleaning them ffs

Gave it a quick rinse today as it was covered in s**t, I say quick, its taken all day and the interior and glass still needs doing. Hard f**king work in this heat and still half way job tbh. I should probably get one of them snow foam things too, Blast with jet wash and suds, rinsed, cleaned...

Beige cargo shorts are my go to anyway! Just need them weird shoes to fit in properly then?

cheers for that, ive fired them an email (y)

Yay triplets

I'm a fat guy with a beard no tag needed 😁🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed, has a better bite now with the bigger master cylinder and fresh pads but the same as they were then. The callipers arnt catered for like the 172 setup but there's a few options 👍🏻

I've not given the car much attention for a few weeks, its been parked up and I've been stuck in hospital with too much time on my hands. Anyway whilst there I did start piecing together a wish list of brake parts that I needed for a slight upgrade, I just need to find them all. Brake...

Would of been awesome to come spectate, but also being fat, I spent my day on the sofa with a fan chilling my balls😂 Looks like it goes flipping well mind good stuff

head down the m50 and meet the Gloucestershire people in Tewkesbury

had to give mine away, though i keep eyeing up old r5s or r11's to drop a d4ft in.... anyway back on topic

Its a single cam setup, im sure the cam and crank have markers on too so point them in the right direction and fit the belt. Possibly a crank locking bolt.

no, max revs do not change, speedo does change with a rolling radius change. the dash can be calibrated for certain sizes of wheel/tyre using can clip but its not ever that accurate tbh

Washing your hair?

If you list your start point and route you might get a few more takers. Gloucester is still SW 👍🏻

Pretty sure @RustyMojo is organising a drive to this

Pretty sure revs on the dash is taken from engine speed and nothing to do with wheel speed at all on these. Wheel speed on the dash is adjustable within a few parameters for different size wheels and tyres via clip.

@RustyMojo I'll have to see how I'm on the day bud, currently in hospital but will hopefully be out by then and able to come along 👍🏻 I may take the shortest/quickest route for me if i do though so don't wait for me.

Just to be the other guy, I've reused the sump gasket on a few engines with no issues at all. I just make sure its clean, no splits and sits slightly proud of the groove. I had one that was flush so i replaced it. Never used sealant on an f4r.

So had a little play in it today, nothing too mad as obviously stopping and sprinting to 60 on the road isn't all that fun. Wheelspin central 😂 that said Dragy clocked a 5.47 0-60mph and I can just clip it in 2nd gear. For comparison a new 4wd Yaris GR does it in a very similar time👍🏻

Depending on how I am that morning and what car I'm in I could be up for that. I'll keep an eye out for the details 👍🏻

I also dug out a picture of my old SC Clio's quarter mile time slip from just over 10 years ago! Took a lot of Facebook digging to find it. This is my personal target to beat in the Twingo, both have roughly the same horsepower, the Twingo has loads more torque but the SC 172 delivered it a lot...
