this seems pretty bad, ill ahve to see when i get beck, looks like a 5hr trip back to bristol at 30pmph!!! LOL
GR: you couldnt use your fantastic searching skill as find a BBC or similar net broadcast on whats goin on with the weather? ill have a look too...race ya!
i have tested all varients of the induction theme on the F4r engine i the clio. and suffice to say, ALL lost power over the std airbox bar the piper X viper and replacement elements.........BUT, they loose power as they clog and the std paper did just as good a job.
The open filters lost just...
LOL......
hes one of those annoying pedallers on the rd.....why cant you guys use the pavement? surely some bumps and suff is extra fun. And its not like people use the pavement.
kent do 172 cams!??
i ws wondering cause i have still not found a decent qulity set. The cams in teh 172 are chillcast and EXTREEMELY tough. They are also hollow andi think only 1 french company is allowed to use the master cam from renault.
otherwise the cam just wont be up to it. and the...
the 172 suspension is more than its dampers ans prings, it will have completely diff geometry. and changing all the entire front end is one thing, but you would need to replace the rear axle, then change the brakes over as i dont know if the 1.2 calipers fit the 172 hubs, then there will be a...

UM, im comming back to the UK on sat........i have to drive from heathrow to Bristol......is i gonna be bad!?
how long do you think this sh*tty weather is gonna last?
man...i HATE the cold......i mean really HATE the cold.....hate hate hate hate......
well, i wouldnt call it not handling the power, as nova trbos can rush about with 300+ from 2ltr turbo XEs, GTTs have up to 350bhp and they can drag.....its all about being clever with your throttle. of course, if your a rock ape and jump on everything, then of course itll spin. But LSDs ATBs do...
i just said.....in the laguna/vel satis/espace its pumpin out about 170bhp...in the megane sport about 220.
The BBT conversion is bonkers.........ask nick.....near or over 300 or summat.
um....rob......this is BBT!
Almost any engine can run a turbo, the F4R engine in the megane, laguna, 172, vel satis and espace ranges from 140bhp to 220bhp with a turbo......
And its almost certain that BBT did do testing and development....which is why it took so long.
its ok, but i hate to say it, its about as fast as a 172...sure its got power, but the subframes and suspension parts are HUGE HUGE HUGE!!!
and its quite soggy...the front doesnt inspire confidence and its a bit waallowy on the whole...but a gorgeous car and the sound...o the sound!
it would...
