The last thing you want is a 5.25 ratio. 1st gear will be pointless, so all you would've done is successfully converted the 5spd box into a 4spd with crawler gear. Lol!! Only option you'd have really is a gripper diff and one of their crownwheel and pinions. Easy way to spend £1500+ though...

Worst case scenario is that you would have to replace the accumulator mate as it would be too saturated for the refrigerant to boil the moisture off.

The biggest concern I'd have is if the drier/accumulator has drawn in moisture. It needs to dry the air to stop ice crystals forming when the system is in operation. If it's full of moisture, it stops the ac system working correctly mate. Only way you'll know is when you regas it...

Well fingers crossed it does mate yeah! Lol! It's the same when it was f1 or dtm as well - nice and quiet. I just dropped unlucky with the traffic.

No doubt contemplating how much lubricant was going to be needed around the arsehole to pay the Nurburgring/recovery bill! I have also had this experience. Lol! Did you get a bongard club sticker?

You'll not f**k it up mate even if you don't follow my recommendations tbh. You just might find that gear selection isn't so easy and needs another pair of hands to adjust it. Regards the ph1 airbox, I originally had a v6 item and there was more induction noise for definite. I also had the...

What colour is the coolant that's in it now? Type d is a yellowy green colour. It's more than likely had some standard off the shelf coolant in it tbh. If you wanted to change to type d, or change from type d, you'd need to flush the system through thoroughly as they don't like to mix. Type d...

It's the type d stuff for the coolant mate and the pads are cup racer specific. Or in other terms, ds1.11's!

You could safely have 3mm machined off the face to reduce the ET.

Lol no mate!

Today, I flew a spitfire - as in I had the controls! Full report and pics will come in another thread, but for now, here's a pic of me getting strapped in! Parachute and harness!

Cheers mate! Lol!! You just can't get enough!! The pilot I had today was called Dave today and he was a proper nice guy! There were 3 pilots in total today taking people out for the flights. Words cannot describe just how f**king awesome that was!

Arrived at duxford. In the AG obviously! And now things are starting to get much more exciting! Had to have a 30 second long excitement piss!! Lol! Just waiting for my flight briefing and I'll be in the air before 1pm. More to come. :cool:

Tomorrow this will be my office. :cool:

Yeah I'll sort all that out when I'm back home mate. Currently on holiday! Lol! Regards the gaskets and seals, I'm pretty sure that everything comes in the bottom end and top end gasket sets. Thrust washers and stuff are separate obviously. Drop me a pm next week and I'll get on all of it...

@Trophyboy2017 Get them to measure the bores. I can let you know what the upper level is for bore wear if you need to know - this is what renault specify as well. I've found that the majority of f4r's are in the upper limit for bore wear. The plans for the future sound good mate, but I'd just...

Good point actually. Yes they do s**t themselves.

Well it's run lean for some reason or another. Could've been signs of a dying fuel pump as well potentially. Very tidy car you've got there though buddy looking at the engine bay shots. That block doesn't look like it'll hone up either, but I could be wrong. Overbore is the only option then...

Standard power? Or running more boost? It could be that the heat from the engine was evaporating the fuel or knocking the Ron content down. Seen that happen before.

I've converted 130's to speedo drive before. Easy enough job, but you've got to split the box open.

'Oh f**k off miss daisy' was one of the things I seem to recall saying. Lol! I'll get them off the GoPro and on to the laptop mate when I get some spare time. :up:

Yeah got a couple mate. One with choice language. Lol

It is, but I don't miss it. It was a very fast little car in its final guise mate. Need to upload some of the in-car footage off the GoPro, it's just having time. No mate. The AG is staying in the same condition as it is now, other than improving the brakes. There were only 55 AG 200's produced...

No mate, just the memories.

Not you is it @elcie ?

How much for the bag?

They do 2 different types mate. The 19mm is the one for road use and the 22mm is the one for the track. Increasing rear roll stiffness will also reduce understeer and help the car turn in. It's also the correct way to do things rather than upping the spring rates. The whiteline will feel...

Flol! I'm glad you did! I was contemplating getting in the boot to throw the boat anchor out! I'm glad you enjoyed it though mate. :up:

Me neither mate, but the current setup on track was sometimes quite frankly pant shittingly worrying! Lol! I don't do last of the late brakers, it's just not my style, but the current setup wasn't ideal. I had to do some proper foot dancing with @Sunglasses_Ron in the car mate! Trying to haul it...

Get the 19mm pms arb instead of the whiteline mate. Far better product.
