Chris`I

Looks excellent mate, although I am getting a little worried of your carbon fettish

From the many many things I have read, it basically has a window of parameters it can handle. Be it airflow or whatever. Its supposidly designed to aim for a certain range at any given time. So add some breathing mods, and it will allow the extra flow to be used upto the ceiling of its parameters. Once there you wont get any more power without remapping the ECU or getting a piggyback ECU.

Nice car mate. For acceleration and grip they are second to non Just watch the AYC doesnt catch you out if you are used to correcting slides yourself, a few people on MLR have had that misfortune

Looks good bud. The problem with these kinds of cameras, is although its @ f2.8, f2.8 is different at different focal lenghs, so as the compact camera has a very small focal length the effect is less pronounced compared to say an SLR. To get the most pronounced effect, you could try zooming in but stepping away from the car. The extra focal length will make the effect more pronounced. On my zoom lense, if I take pics of motorsport in rubbish light, I can sometimes have part of the car in focus and most of it out because of long focal length I have a great PDF somewhere of the functions for the Canon 300D and explains all about this stuff. Its pretty big at 45mb but I could try and dig it out and stick it up somewhere for you to download it if you are interested in the effects of aperatures and shutter speeds on your pics

Nice work mate, know you have spent quite a bit of time and money getting it all sorted, numbers look very good

Had been posted up before and the same question asked. Work out what they fitted and it soon adds up. I think someone said the gearbox alone was about £15k

I think you might be right, that would explain it. I'm sure we can get Chris to update the rule

Very Clean What we like to hear I give it about a month before you get a catch can anyway for the bling factor

Looks like a decent result for a few ours hard work What was the lower plenum like for oil? Thats where it collects in the middle bit more towards the front. But I assume there wasnt any as you would have posted it up

Generally, if you are in gear and accelerate, watch the revs vs how much you move. If the revs rise more than you accellerate (in say 5th/6th) then its on its way out. Another thing you will notice is that the bite point gets high up the pedal travel (ie you dont need to push the pedal far to disengage the clutch). Another test, which I dont suggest you do, is to have it on the handbrake, stick it in first and let off the clutch. If it doesnt stall straight away, the clutch is on its last legs

Dealers never sold them AFAIK as they are dont have the right stamps to be road legal in the UK.

Small, shallow, same thing Main thing is to go out and test out the settings. Only way to work it out really

If you have a custom exhaust place near by, they should be able to cut out the flex section (braided bit) and weld in some new ones. I'm looking to get this done myself shortly. No idea on price, but I cant see it being too much, especially if you find someone to do it for a few beers Other option is a new y-pipe, but I think these are running at about £150-200 these days

Thats my point mate. My photosize IS 800x600. But the forum tells me it is limited to 768. Something isnt behaving. The site limit is 1024x768 so you should be fine. Try PMing Chesterfield and see what he suggests.

By good, you of course mean a small depth of field The F stop is how open the aperture of the lense is. Crazily, the smaller the number, the more open the aperture is, and also the smaller the number, the larger the f-stop actually is. More info here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number. The more open the lense, the less depth of field you have, or put simply, the less that will be in focus in front or behind the bit you focused on. Best thing to do is to take pics of something against a background that is a distance away, say a few cups against a wall a few feet away that has a pattern. Distance them out and then take photos of them with varying apertures and see what varying them does. Large aperture (small f-value) will result in very little being in focus. Small aperture (large number) will result in more being in focus

LOL, fair enough

you've had hot weather? Where've you been mate? The summer has been and gone

Like pulling teeth sometimes isnt it! Good work on Tim and Adams behalf for putting up with it though

Those that want to go, I suggest you contact Mark (3FIDDYZED)

Yeah boofsquire look good. It seems they use another make of actual rack and make their own accessories to bundle together. I found the rack they used, but again was only available in the US. Bet you could import it for not too much. Really does depend on how much you want a rack though.

Wickes, Halfords What? Sometimes i think your blonde bud. Well i've ordered them I'm getting old, thats my excuse! I still dont get what hes on about!

Wickes, Halfords What?

Got mine today from the post office. Fitted in 5mins. Seems to aid quite nicely in heel-toe. Thanks to Tim and Adam for arranging the GB

Very nice mate. Liking the newer way of putting the LEDs in, looks much more professional to me. Getting very tempting

+1 Powercoat should be very hard wearing. You wont find a stronger painted coating. As long as they powercoat the laquer too and not spray it on
