even 15W pour point is still -33 deg F!!!!! With all oils, after about an hr, there is no oil in any of the galleys and its all sitting in the filter and sump, so your pumping it up from there. i really dont worry too much about it, oil pressure is up to drivable levels after 2 or 3...

yeah, flatheads.......transfer ports were a right arse to get power out of.

your in bristol..well near... im in bristol! im 21, and got quoted by diretline 1200 for the house in West sussex, not bristol. yup, the jap lights.......nice. yup, understand all bout the wheels etc.........well, i guess ill just have to go at it and find the right one for me... Ta!

not too bad, i was quoted a touch over a grand.........well, 200 over a grand...LOL

indeed! striaght line speed means little to me.....120 is enough.....as long as it the most dynamic thing about, which it is......yum. I prefer the phase 2 headlights though....apart from that, are they the same? and reliability, not raelly an issue as i do my own work, but, cheap ones are...

do they ever! lol Oh, and we brits did use polish cars to tune!!! back in the 50s early 60s when teh eqiuvalent touring car series was cost based, the fastest way was to use cheap commie cars, and most used one from poland, large boxy, cant remember the name, will research it up. Oh, and...

Yes!!!! thank you! Anyway, hows your teggy, intending to get one.......

i hate them.....awful things.......

which is why i was saying not to expect much. But increasing the diameter on the bog one by 1.5mm will yeild more than 1.5 on the smaller one. Then we can get fancy and offset the spindles? alot of work yes, but work is fun!!!!! just wait till i get it and ill try do some pics and sketches....

well, it is stainless, and it is Renault......

Hey, who said we had to race renault vs honda? hell, if you want you can let me use your car around any named track (preferably near me as im not going to travel) and i will post substantially faster times than you. Hows that........cocky enough, enough of an arse? Fraid its true...

my bro in law had a mondeo and lives in an area which isnt the best for safe cars. anyway 680 quid. puts my sister as the main driver and himself as a second driver. saves 250 quid with diamond. thing is, she is 26 and hasnt got a full licence!!!! they told him its nothing to add him as a...

huh, didnt see the reast of the thread, must of stopped loading. I thought it only said "im mad"...hence the good....we like mad! Nah, the zorst give the smallest gain of the lot......

i like to set an example for those who are mentally, economically, physically and socially challenged. ALL IS NOT LOST! have faith my friend, with effort, you will have that CTR you always wanted.

i think bullit needs some sex with the opposite sex before he goes mad.

GOOD....;)

Just highlight the spelling and grammar mistakes......... Especially the ASLEEP instead of have A SLEEP......I dont think he has thumbs as the space bar is not used very often. maybe thats why he has the limp wristed girls knob to fiddle with.......

well, if its done badly, if the exhaust blows, if the viper is left open in the engine bay etc...then you can....if pre ignition occurs at points in the squish area, then yes you can... but if its setup all corretly, then about 10 + a few more if lucky bhp can be gained...but its lots of work...

go for it if you want, but 50 quid for a tiny peice of foam or cotton.....ooer. and gains will be minimal.........think along the lines of 2.

actually, the K90 is quite a neat and tidy unit, deffo better than the F4r, but thats not the point....... The engine bay is neat and tidy, and alot easier to work on than ours......

ok sir, ill take your work, the guy with no experience if anything to do with cars/racing/tuning...... bye bye, ill leave you to think your great now.....

my bro in law had a mondeo and lives in an area which isnt the best for safe cars. anyway 680 quid. puts my sister as the main driver and himself as a second driver. saves 250 quid with diamond. thing is, she is 26 and hasnt got a full licence!!!! they told him its nothing to add him as a...

cool, thats the one we use the the conversion, its one of the only ones that do anything. Details if you want in...

if we bring ourselves to take out the driver and look at pure power...... then teh CTR hs a 157bhp/ton ratio and the MK1 172 and the cup has 159/ton.......??? how u figure faster then.....

nah, its more of a tearing knashing action.

nope, just a case of a very sensitive management system..... if its an open filter cone, you will be losing power too, i have tested and they dont work on them, in fact, they just dont work........sound nice though.

bullit, lol....doent seem like anybody really likes you too much. Do you have friends....like real ones you can sit nxt to at the back of the bus, or are you one of the kid who talks/talked to teh bus driver?

one runnuing overly rich, but most tetering on the edge of lean, and some detonating......but its nothing majorly serious, but the 172 is very sensitve to air temp.

it has a lower viscosity at 0 deg, so yes its thinner, but at working temps its the same as most other oils put simply. In teh end, a 15w or a 5e wont make a huge diff except for when you start up. But thin oil doent cling as well, a thinner base is not as stable as thicker one at high...

wheel diameters can affect final final ratios, so yes it can affect it......
