Faulty sensors are quite common and will affect the climate control iirc, they aint cheap neither!

Would of been a waste of time as they dont adjust.

Im just over 6ft and fine in the Recaros. :) Bigger problem is pedals if he has big feet or wears boots alot.

mr edt, were you at pizza hut tonight? I was in a Focus RS and turned around infront of an inferno 182. First time ive been to weston on a sunday night for age's and seems to be getting better again, last time it was empty!

Just depends on budget really. Do you need new screen etc?

Love the Williams and wouldn't bet against one driven well on certain tracks. As for the FRS, great cars and better in a lot of ways to the 182 but: My mate's & mine. He wont come to airfield day as being beaten by a Clio he would never live down. ;)

Type dxdiag into the run box from the start menu and type up results and also requirements for game (on box).

I agree totally with that, the whole engine spec should be decided at the beginning with the turbo chosen to suit the expected flow capabilities and required power band with the compressor map etc No doubt the GT is a good few steps infront of the older Ts :)

Just remembered, i believe Mark has experienced the effects of no water cooling on a GT series, Sunny's FRST had this problem if im not mistaken (quite possible tho) with disastrous consequence.

Mark Shead of MAD you mean? He also use's the board, i would like to know his opinion, prob said but lost in the passionford crash. My opinion is based on lots of threads over the years with input from many tuners, may be wrong but i ran four old G turbos without water and not one failed in my...

^ see above, not just a post picked that kinda agrees with me but Karl is the most respected person that has replied to one of the previous questions, although someone mentions Harvey at SCS agrees. No doubt the GTs are much better turbos but they are massively different to the old turbos and...

Karl at Norris Motorsport wrote: Don't forget folks, if you're running a ball bearing core as found on many turbos such as the Garret GT range you MUST run water cooling else its Goodbye turbo!! Traditional journal bearing turbos such as the garret T series can run without water cooling...

Disagree, the benefit is the stock cooling system could not cope with a midly tuned engine (RST at least) and was not required by the turbo. Turbos were always cooled by oil and indeed are the most important fluid but the GTs are assumed to be damaged by lack of water cooling. Please post on...

lol disconnecting the water cooling was done on prob 50% of tuned RSTs, no disadvantage and a cooling system now able to cope.

For years people disconnected the water cooling on Ts and thus continued to do this when fitting the GTs, several failures followed and pinned down to the turbos being less robust than the old ones. Im sure SCS, norris motorsport and Reyland all found this tbtc iirc Dont know if the jacket...

Hmm, pro's and cons for having it or not. The turbo will be more efficient at a higher temp and along with wrapped exhaust keeps the exhaust gas speed higher thus creating more power, not to mention reduced underbonnet temps and possibly ACTs. Premature failure has been blamed on these and its...

Deffo 4, should be the official CS position lol.

Im from Street.

Ohlins?

I was in the Blue 182.

Dunlop DJ01 are a favorite of some hardcore trackday people i know.

letstorquebhp quote 14.2 for the Vee and 14.8 for the RS iirc

IMO Focus is a far better car in most respects but the Vee still looks awesome and for some reason, just more, special. Both standard the clio will edge it by about half a second but the RS needs the Bluefin and most have it ;) CTR you must be f**king joking!

Blistien coilovers.

And just the same chance that these are false allegations.

Would love to see what happened if you swapped cars.

I have Silkolene :) Just out of interest tho what about: Castrol RS Halfords fully synthetic This was on another Forum and wondered if correct?

I found this thread fasinating and even tho its ford based i thought some of you may be interested in how a car is 'chipped' and whats involved. As you'll see if you read through it, its very complex and may make you think twice about using an novice to map your car or buy a generic chip from...

Going back to the throttle and cable over FBW do you lose anything, ie cruise control?

Its French! Mine's the same so prob not a fault, just design.
