Anyone who thinks they are pants in the wet has clearly never tried them.
mine grip better than road tryes in the wet on track
I didnt say standing water. I said wet. they work very well,They don't like standing water much though
Haha I only used those because they were in my loft from my old 197 and I didn't want to shell out for some new ones lolSilver Sabelts, tart!
It will be great to see yours when it's back together and running!
Thanks Neil
Engine spec is:
Catcams 421's VVT removed and vernier pulleys installed (No dephaser to go wrong)
TDF Motorsport spec AT ITB's with solid backplate and ITG filter
ARP bolts
EC1 ECU
Custom BTB de cat system with one back box
Thank you Kenny I am over the moon just want to go back out and have another go sooner than next month
Very kind of you thanks! Just seen your recent update and looks like its coming on well, Love the lengths your going to with the small details will make it an epic car when you have completed it!What spec are you planning to run Neil?
what till you try it through Gerards at mallory, mentalI forgot to mention in the update yesterday, The quaife diff is great! you have to adopt a different driving mentality but boy does it put the power down early and very well
I can imagine
I don't know why but I wasn't expecting it to make anywhere near as much difference as it has done to the way you can put the power down. It will make even more difference once i'm used to it aswell, Can't wait!
Thank you Dom yours looked great aswell and seemed to be running well
Yes it will all come with time and when we start work on the setup. They are the Oreca door cards but i'm not 100% where Matt got them from although I do know Ktec sell themSounds really good Neil and with them being so similar I think your right it will be interesting to compare final results!
Yes Jonny we have got rid of the aircon using cup alternator setup but kept the PAS although had a slight issue the other day with the fluid overheating and trying to escape so we are working on a solution. This only happened after a 45 minute session so probably due to sustained use
Just the overheating PAS fluid but I'm sure we'll get it sorted and I'm glad we have found it now rather than just before a race
Haha I told you I knew that I had forgotten something in my emailOh and James don't forget we need to sort the lateral G screen washer
I'm afraid I'm not too sure about the technicalities but heat shielding isn't too bad an ideayou've got me paranoid now, never check my PAS pipes (or was it the resevoir? if so can it just be heat shielded?). I tend to run about 20-30 laps at a time depending on how i'm feeling, so engine bay does get a tad warm
I'm sure you'll be fine Jonny just keep an eye on it!
Yes we did its removed and lower rad fitted to allow for the long throttles! 
I thought that myself about Mark's torque! Thanks, lol I can't say I was expecting it to be an issue but I'm sure we'll get it sorted
Yes Matt and I discussed putting a set of Megane injectors on in the future so will be interesting to see how it goes if you fit some first
Will be good to see you if your free as would be good to have a decent chat!
Yes they have worked out really well Mark and I'm really happy with the power it's made, the Polo rad is a really good option from the pictures I have seen of them fitted it does look to create a good amount of space.
(It doesn't like driving on the roads though )Yes I think on the dyno at one stage mine were at 100% so we have lifted away from that a little to keep it running safe
That would be great Tony well I'll drop you a PM nearer the time to confirm we are still going!
