Went to work and back in it. Absolutely hooned it about and realised that what I thought was instant power really wasn't, the new solid engine and gearbox mounts DCIRaz and me fitted are amazing. Hit the throttle and it now feels like you're getting fired out of a cannon, minimal drive train...

About 5:45 Guild St A3400, I was in a burg 172. Thumbs up all round, big smiles, everyone's happy, job done. :approve:

I'll more than likely get 1.2 bullets tbh, less to sand down. :approve: Cheers for the offer though. I tried that, they wouldn't sell me the bullets without the bump strips. :dapprove:

Lol, i'm a good lad these days, although it did cross my mind. :o

You mean they were 2.0 16V ones originally?

What bullets were they to begin with? I'll be making myself a custom set soon, but i'm not sure which ones would be best to sand flat. Oh and they look really good.

Williams wheels really suit that car.

Nice car that.

I take you or Dan have had a good look at the wishbones, ball joints, tie rods & track rod ends? My guess would be wheel balancing, maybe you've lost a weight of one of the fronts?

So according to the calender next Monday's meet is here, i've not seen anyone mention it on here so I thought i'd put it up just in case. The Punchbowl Mill Lane, Lapworth, Solihull, West Midlands, B94 6HR Do we have to book at this place or can we show up on mass and still get food?

I always preferred Bonnie to April.

Are you using brollies, soft boxes, or just the lights reflectors, also what wattage are the lights?

Makes perfect sense mate, i'm a portrait studio photographer by trade, but i've never used them outdoors, they're good results for a single exposure. Bracketing the exposure ftw. :approve: How much tweaking in photoshop did you have to do?

So how are you balancing the lights with the daylight to get an even exposure? Are you using a light meter and checking ambient daylight, then metering the flashes and getting them within the same aperture give or take a stop or two either way? Or are you taking multiple images and exposing...

Lol gutted, what car does he have?

They're just so much better than Turinis.

Yep, I have to drive Cov to Wolverhampton if I want to annoy CS members over a pint and a plate of food.

Yep it'll have a cold map that will limit the revs until warm, also even when warm it'll have a 6800 limit in 1st & maybe 2nd, then 3rd 4th & 5th will be 7600 or 7800 I can't remember tbh. Also your engine wont last long if you're booting it when it's stone cold. :nono:

Discovery +1? The only thing I don't like about this new series is adverts every 15mins instead off 30mins. :dapprove: Might series link it in future so I can fast forward them.

I'd say it's more then likely using a Fastchip map if it idles at 1100rpm from cold, they really help the engine run smoother on startup and get rid of alot of the lumpiness the engines usually have with OEM maps, not to mention smoothing out the power and torque curve so it has a bit more grunt...

Well mine's remapped with an RSTuner box from Fastchip, on start up it idles at 1100rpm for a bit, then when it's up to temp it sits at 900rpm on idle, standard engine maps idle at 800 or 850rpm I think. Keep an eye on yours from cold and when it's up to temp, if it's the same as mine then...

What rpm does it idle at on start up and what rpm does it idle at when up to temp?

Nice shots mate, what shutter speed were you using?

Nice one dude, I totally forgot about this.

I didn't think you could get PE2s anymore? They were replaced with PS3s iirc.

Uniroyal RS2s are simply amazing in the wet, but today I noticed the outer quater of mine are almost bald, which is down to me throwing it in to corners in this warm weather. It's my fault completely, as they are simply not meant to be ragged in warm weather, i've only had mine since December...

DCI Raz came over and fitted my group N engine and gearbox mounts, and I helped a little and supplied him with Dr Pepper all day. I'd have been f*cked trying to do that on my own, partly because bits of it were a two man job, but mostly because I had no clue how to do it. He also spent an hour...

Right just in case anyone does a search for engine/gearbox mount torque settings in the future, they're all in this thread. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?349543-Engine-Mounts-Help-knocking&highlight=gearbox+mount+torque+settings%3F

I'm changing my engine mounts and i've tried searching but not found the answer. Anyone know what torque settings the cam cover bolts need?

Only if they have the same Vin code.
