It is shocking - if I had've known this back then in Jan06 ..... Chesterfield, why did we admit this 'guy' Running this probably cost him his hair

use Jizer for underbonnet degreasing followed by a weak solution of TFR ,then pressure wash off...for a gleaming engine compartment

looks spot on

put it off Stevie and have a ride out

Sounds good for same inital meet place Me and the missus stopped at a small private hotel on the Hoole Rd, in Chester..just a short walk into the center, cant remember name but will dig it out , it looked like there was a lot of Hotels on that Road

as in "Oh God" it's that Sarnie again

Just remembered my side mirrors dip automatically down when it is in reverse another joy of a JDM

you get them to cheap in the UK to have this option fitted

Tim

Pm Beavis he msees to have it sussed

I always find tuning shops have a servo assisted Dyno generally

try these in the meantime http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ruff-Rac ... enameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ruff-Rac ... enameZWD1V

As you rightly say, brake horse power is related to horse power. Now for a little history: One horsepower was originally defined as the amount of power required to lift a mass of 33 000 pounds through a vertical distance of 1 foot in 1 minute. This is also stated as 550 foot pounds per second (fps). James Watt worked out this figure for the horsepower when he did some experiments on horses hauling coal. He found that horses could haul coal at the average rate of 22 000 foot-pounds per minute. He then applied a correction factor which gave the current value of 33 000 or 550 fps. We're talking about the power of an engine here, not its weight, nor the weight of the car. You could have an extremely light weight powerful engine in a heavy car or various permutations based around this. Three different horsepower values are used in talking about engine performance: (1) Indicated horsepower is the theoretical efficiency of a reciprocating engine, which is determined from the pressure developed by the cylinders of the engine; (2) Brake or shaft horsepower is more commonly used to indicate the practical ability of the engine, or the maximum performance, which is the indicated horsepower minus the power lost through heat, friction, and compression; (3) Rated horsepower is the power that an engine or motor can produce efficiently for sustained periods of time. Obviously the second of these is the one that is of interest to you. In Britain, engines are classified in rated horsepower, but their brake horsepower may be four to six times the rated horsepower. To measure the brake horsepower is a sophisticated business involving computers nowadays, which are able to monitor how much power is produced at different parts of the power cycle and how engine speed affects power output. If you pick up a car brochure you will see in the engine specification, data referring to power outputs. Engine capacity and engine type are further factors that can affect power output. Small engines can be manufactured to produce as much power, or even more than larger engines. The bhp can be given as a gross figure, or can be given based on bhp per ton which is related to weight. Just because the manufacturer boasts a car has a high bhp it doesn't guarantee a high performance. Cars that are better engineered tend to drive better than those that aren't. Try a Nissan! unashamedly copied of the internet.. I did a thesis on BHP at college many years ago, but sadly mostly forgotten now

just stick the extra on the next bill mate

You're assuming a higher level of knowledge than I deserve. Explanations needed. I thought of another basic one though - I need to change the front number plate to a UK style one is that easy? dead easy , just take Jap one of and put a UK one on don't i need to change the bracket or something? you can get a Uk bracket , but number plate will go straight on bumper if you want

are you going to do the mass PM thing Chris ??

never had mine done, I just hate the sight of black gung under the arches Yes but you hide yours away in the winter so you don't count! true

It's a steal a virtually new car for £15k But its 4 years old I would sooner pay £15 k for a 5000mile car than £15k for a 30k mile car 2 years newer especially a JDM one as they tend to be better condition than equivilant year UK cars

Well done.. looks a very nice car , in the best colour to The mud flaps are an added bonus I wouldnt hold out for much joy from the Band expander though, get a nice head unit ready for May

so is my poo............!! you need more iron in your diet then
