  1. Just practise and get used to it before you go mental. Plenty of track, fast road, time trial and quarter mile folks on here to help you learn
  2. Great project! I was drooling reading the spec and then the photos as time passed. Looks like youre gonna have a great car very soon and with the 1k clutch its certainly not popping ! Good luck with the final outcome and hope you get the 1/4mile and hp result youre after
  3. Great report mate !! really enjoyed reading it and the photos are superb too. Especially the one with Wuz eating the huge burger Like what the M3 driver has done with the over excessive nurburgring sticker. Fancy one of those.
  4. Pay the £75 for a new windscreen and pretend its a mod. I did it recently and love the new shiny clear view
  5. Sounds like youre pretty set on the Blitz TBH. thats a loud loud exhaust but each to their own. Ive had that system and then a meercat system and prefered meercat. I also asked him to make me a short short back box so it was loud as a box of starving meercats. it was loud on boost but didnt piss me off driving around town like that blitz did. Recently i went and got a revolution 3" system from......revolution and love it. Its fairly quite around town as decats go but when it opens up it sounds sweet. 3" all the way though. no choke points
  6. Xmas meet/ track day at KH would be cool
  7. Having been remapped a few weeks ago, I started using the clever racerom ability to flat shift all the time on boost. Could be the increase in torque but wondered if the flat shifting had lead to the clutch failing within 2 weeks? Anyone else using it in anger and had problems with slip afterwards? Ordered up an exedy pink racing clutch but before i use flat shifting again, id like to know if it could wear down the new clutch quickly?
  8. Wondered if it was anyone on here that was behind my RB yesterday. Nice looking car !
  9. Sounds good. Im kinda sorry I didnt make it down today
  10. I know, im just retaliating. See you soon silver fox
  11. LOL, youre such a fooler. When i got closer to home i started to lose boost as well. Surging/holding back a little. Then i saw the induction kit was roasting. piece of shat. The thing came apart the other day and i taped it all together. i need to look at it tomorrow. C) I thought we were going in a straight line side by side using the same gear? well until the big bend where you moved out the way with brown fluid down your trunks. your getting old
  12. Thats a fair point. The air is gonna be cooled when it hits the IC so maybe doesnt matter. Just started thinking that the standard air vent/intake must have been there doing something as i dont remember ever feeling that standard plastic part hot ! then you induct it and hey presto, roasty
  13. Hi Callum, I can help. Whilst searching through the yellow pages last year in need of a damn good spraying, I found this man who offers good prices. Initially I thought he wouldnt be very good, but he sure knew what he was doing. A very good spraying !! Reputable sprayer And here is a shot of the finished result
  14. Cheers Al ! The deathstar in action, brings back fond memories ! I wonder if she still goes? Good seeing you and the family again ! Good luck with the new one in 5 weeks
  15. Took the black plastic thing off the newage that rams cold air into the panel filter area thinking the CAI wouldnt benefit from it as it would be in the wing. Noticed when i got home today that the K&N induction box was pretty damn hot. Although its enclosed with the filter sealed in a plastic cone, the plastic felt roasting. Now the hose is stuffed down into the wing so cold air is coming up into the cone. 1. Is the hot cone making the filter/ air hot coming into it? 2. Should i *******ise the plastic funnel i took off so it rams air towards the cone? 3. Should i build a boxed off area out of that special foil stuff OR alloy to protect the area from evil hot air? Also- Dave Hatrick (corsa)- decatted 2.5 2007 STI is quicker than my decatted RB320 2.5 2007 decatted. WTF ! Its true and made me sad
