Link to lap: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?713215-My-weekend-the-Nurburgring ;)

Very easy tbh. Did it in mine a few years ago on toyo t1r's. Down in the 8min 30's now in a stripped out cup and kw v2 suspension. Plenty of time left in the tank as well tbh.

I take it you know what setting to dial the 197 cams in as then?

I'd imagine your box has seen more heat than the welding would cause anyway tbh. It nearly burnt my hand when I touched the casing at mallory. The only issue I can see in getting it welded is getting it clean enough for the tig to weld without spitting its dummy out. It's very sensitive as to...

Offer them up to a set of 172 cams - You'll visibly see the differences in the lobes. The 197 cams have longer duration and they're also more advanced from what I remember.

Fook me!!

Its a good job you weren't as confident then through island!! Look at what happened to James! Lol! Impressive to get within that time distance though everything else considered. Boyz got skillz init! Lol

Yeah I understand that Morgan. It really is night and day better since all the hub modifications though. So much easier to drive, which I think the video shows as a lot of people have commented on how smooth and easy I made it look. Overall impressions of the epas though are very good - even if...

Tbf Fred, you didn't look completely comfortable in the video either, so the seating issue would make a lot of sense.

A few things to keep in mind with mine though Morgan are as follows: I didn't settle the tyre pressures before I set that lap, so the fronts were above what I wanted, causing some of the understeer, The suspension is not stiff enough which was adding to the understeer, but the assistance level...

Mines road driven on those settings and its alright tbh. Bit skittish on bumpy roads but nothing horrendous.

Ah that would explain it knocking the b****cks out the tyres then. Mines 3 degrees negative at the front, 2.5 degrees negative at the rear and around 10 minutes toe out on the front. It all comes down to personal preferences though. Those settings suit me, but may not suit others.

What's the current geometry?

Better tyre construction maybe?

Fundamental underlying issues there that are exaggerated by the epas imo there Fred. If the assistance was turned down I'm sure it would improve it too. Mine does nigh on the exact same thing at full assistance. Watch this and you'll see what I mean. Granted though, the ring is a bumpier...

Ah yes I'd forgotten about the holy grail of 2bhp gains in f4r tuning! Flol!

I'd imagine you could use a 'hump' style silicone hose if you really wanted to be 100% with it. They allow for a bit of flex and movement.

Lol whereas I'm the opposite way round with mine! It'll be interesting to see where you set it to on track when your on proper track tyres phil.

Flol! Have you taken that tape off the back of your shoe yet sailor! Still makes me laugh that you fell for that one!

Yeah that's what I thought anyway tbh phil, but thanks for the input. What do you drive with yours set to then? 3/4's? On the 16's I run in between 1/4 and 1/2 with a 320mm steering wheel.

Mine feels more like its the toe out causing the wandering tbh. It's only really noticeable on the 16's when the assistance is turned up as well.

If you turn the assistance level down on the epas you get much better feel Fred, or at least that's what I've found. With the 16's and road tyres on the car is driven with a very small amount of assistance, but on the 15's and 888's I run it the same level as James does - full assistance. I...

Mini karousel is the name of that corner Morgan!

5pk 847 is what you want mate.

Flol! Erm yes I'm quite confident that Porsche would annihilate the Williams mate! It's the commitment from the Williams driver that I like.

What are 'chicken bars' and also what wood grade is that cage made from?! Flol! Pen15.

It's got to be this one for me. Impressive stuff from a Williams! ​http://youtu.be/vRC2ChgSpo0

No the standard prv on an xe is made of aluminium. Tbqh it was very much luck of the draw as to if the original would stick or not and the same can be said for the nylon ones. I've seen both stick!! I've ran the original aluminium valve in my vauxhall turbo motor without issue for years. The...

SBD use a nylon valve not nylon shims mate. The original one on the xe used to stick.

Honestly mate it's quite obvious if you look at the oil pump. So does that mean i'm wrong then? Unfortunately sometimes even prolific engine builders miss even the most obvious and simplest way of doing things.
