I purchased a Phase 1 TB today and measured the inlet side and outlet side, Inlet 64mm round. Outlet is 63mm across the Horizontal centre, and 60mm across the Vertical centre so it Oval shaped on the back side, is this difference to make up for the spindle and throttle plate to keep flow even...

Typical American arrogance, it may be his 1st visit to the venue but to list a multiple WRC Rally champion as a " Rookie:S " to me is an insult, Looking at his testing and times against last years unlimited champion he's already 20 seconds quicker in the 2 lower sections and it's all tarmac to...

Just used their products to clean the 172 Cup uphostery, Total 2, and Auto Revive trim dressing. All I can say is they have left the interior of the car looking refreshed and very good indeed, I've used the trim revive on the external plastic as well not sure if you can but it's worked a treat...

When you remove the AC, PAS etc how does this gain you more power? I understand it'll reduce the load the engine has to move, but does'nt this just mean this power is alowed to get to the wheels as you are reducing any losses, similar to fitting a lightened flywheel? so if it makes 170hp on the...
