surely that rear 'add on' spoiler is not dealer fit? looks gash to me.

It's getting there, Chris I don't think it's that loud, get ITB's on it....It's loud from both ends then, lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread My idea and silicone(so they can still breath)

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread At least we agree ! ;)

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Is there an echo, i'm sure that's what i said? lol:rasp:

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Bit more sound proofing i see to take out! lol

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Put goggles on you muppet! otherwise you'll be in A&E getting bits of metal dug out of your eyes! :dapprove:

was over 18 months ago and things have got cheaper since

I don't £1400 for jenveys with throttle linkage, manifold and air filter close to £1000 for omex 600 and loom and £600 for mapping I know, i've done it myself too, but i couldn't help myself and went the whole hog, cams, pistons rods etc!

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread Take everything you read or hear wth a pinch of salt. Tank slapping at 80mph isn't gonna be heathy with pas or not. if you have driven a non pas car and compared it with a pas (same car model) you will notice after about 20 mph there is hardly any...

Scott, i have 215/40 16 on my cup, width isn't a problem, however the profile is a bit to big. It'll cause you not to accellerate as quick and your speedo will underread

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Is this any good to you jord? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180314754451&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I dunno if this will help, but a have a set of 172 pistons and rods that you can have if they will fit?!?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project The f4r has been done before, but what about a 197 engine......oh nice

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project gravel traps are nasty places, that's why i like airfield traks, maybe a bit boring, but only grass to run off to. This has definately made me think again about doing proper trackdays, unless i can make sure that don't happen to me. gutted for you. Daz

pmsl

I track my cup and have 240bhp too to stop, i'm running braided lines, mintex black brake fluid, mintex rear standard discs with 1144's, brembo high carbon front disc with mintex 1155. no fade, bite from cold. very happy. you will not get change out of £500 for a decent setup.

mmmm they should last 10 mins with redstuff pads, if you could get rears up to temp! i have trouble getting the rust off my rears let alone getting redstuff up to temp! Spend the money on standard rear end stuff or mintex standard stuff and get brembo H/C disks up front with decent pads eg...

it wouldn't stop type of problem!

These are the cheapest discs you can buy, put on a milling machine, then sold to boy racers at a huge mark up. do not buy them, they are absolute rubbish and wear out really quick due to not being designed to be milled! (ps I had some and promptly took them off when i kept having problems...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project A stone from the gravel trap maybe?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project the engine will have had more rebuilds than miles soon!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I knew it was a timing problem, cams just looked wrong to me

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I've just looked at your photos on the previous page, and compared your valver head photo with your "timed" willy head. may be nothing but the lobe relationship between inlet and exhaust will be similar "by eye" on each cylinder and your's aren't....... willy head, look...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah spose so, just so sounds timing to me..............bit puzzled if it's not

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project are the keyways the same in relation to the lobes on both willy and valver cams?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Are the dizzy's the same too? could the keyways of the cams be different? It would fire, but run crap if there was a compression problem, unless it was zero compression!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Sounds to me like your timing is out. Double check that the rotor arm is pointing at no1 spark lead and no1 cylinder is near tdc. I know you said you checked the timing and leads, but may have something to do with willy cams and valver pulleys / dizzy. IIRC my old valver...

Me, and i thought f**k it when i bought it! Lol Also due to the curve on the bonnet that was the only place to fit aero catches, flush or not, as i only have 1/2 a slam panel

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Foxy, lots of heat is the only way to sort exhaust manifold nuts. Won't be long now........
