The hoon will be just as fun in September

Nice one mate, sure that will help some others

Gonna see what its like. Hopefully it can be fixed cheaply Need to ring Tom tonight to arrange tyres etc.

Thats what its doing when it dials them out I think. It only has a small window of adjustment, enough to cope with the stock parts. Start modding them, and make it freer flowing and it cant handle it. I guess that makes sense with what Adam was saying about the SAFC too, as I guess although that can fool the ECU into thinking there is more air, and hence needs more fuel, it cant deliver it as its outside the usual "range". On thing I always assumed though is that because it FBW, why doesnt the ECU just dial out some throttle (i.e. air flow) to allow the AFR to be spot on? Why does it let it lean out? Is it lean, but still safe? Also Technosquare suggested that it knows how much power it should be making at any given time and it will compensate for that with its mix. Dont know how true that is either. Seems to be lots of indicisive information out there. All I know is that I have a pop charger, plenum spacer and Nismo exhaust and on the DynoDynamics dyno it made 2BHP over stock (so I call that stock!) so it obviously does dial out mods. Unless of course the popcharger lost me what the plenum spacer gained me. AFR was spot on too by what the chaps there were saying. Man we need someone to be able to map the stock ECU over here

Thats the one I'm "The Fairlady 2" Computer dumped you in a right crap starting place didnt it!

Which is?

Get Liams keys off him and we'll see who can lap the Evo triangle quicker. She was hooning round the triangle in the lashing wet last year on the Saturday after Mikes wedding. Quicker than the front group did it the following day in the dry, so dont think you'll stand a chance in all honesty

Should come up Friday night

Does it involve a number

Usual clunks are the flexi-joints on the y-pipe or the resonator on the exhaust. My guess would be flexipipe. Ask Adrian about that One knock should be fine though, I've done it a few times myself.

Me too I undertand that a cone filter will potentially lose you power due to heat soak compared to the stock airbox (which really is more than adequate for its purpose), but the sound for me is sooo nice

Good good, make sure you get up to speed, me and Martin aint waiting around

Amanda does that too. Epecially when she has flip flops on, to avoid Lexx's problems! I would imaging the foot rest does get a bit warm being positioned quite close the the drive train! And Louis, I wanna see you drive aginst some of these women. On a recent CarLimits day, Amanda was posting 61s lap times against my 55s and a best on the day of 53s from a Evo pushing out around 350HP. Was an RX8 day and most posted about 57-59s. This from a girl who very rarely drives my car. I reckon if she held the throttle pinned more on the straights she'd shave another 2s from her time easily. She'd give you a right kicking

Usually judder under braking is pad material deposited in lumps on the disc. Look for pad imprints on the disc, they are pretty noticable. You more knowledgable friend is quite correct in that it is indeed very hard to warp discs these days. Saying that, I'm not convinced that this is pad deposit. When I had it on my car you could notice it at most speeds, more so at slowing speeds (50-30MPH) but could still tell it was there at high speed too. Sure the more knowledgable members will be along shortly

Think Amandas are Second Gen. They are black and in a cream leather carry pouch. Maybe not going by what Stew says

Chris`I.......................................1x Poorboy's Trim Restorer - £11.50, Poorboys Spray & Wipe (16oz) £10.00 Liking all the orders for wheel sealant, just make sure your wheels are nice and clean before applying. Also be sure to layer it up. With the SSR please be sure to read up on the grade you are ordering. By hand SSR1 will remove next to naff all. If you have lots of swirls you might not even see the difference. For normal hand applying, I would use SSR2. SSR2.5 has a bit more "bite" if Mike is doing it. SSR3 is for serious cut. I assume no one is using a machine polisher with this stuff.

Let me help: 1. H5 - Sat - Berks 2. M350ZB - Sat - Essex 3. AdrianK - Sat - Newbury 4. Jenna - Sat - Chichester

I hope whatever dirt Brawn has on the FIA will hold up all year so they dont bother him Should keep the stewards away from Button, although they will continue to focus on Hamilton

This one! I know the meet point isnt final, i was just suggesting that we could all meet somewhwere part way, but make our own (or small groups) way there in a direct route! And it means Jenna gets to do the A339 from Alton to Basingstoke I think for the convoy to work (sorry butting in, I know I'm not part of it) you will need to have a rough route and then set services on the route to meet. That way people can make their own way to the services (or mini convoys) and pick up the main convoy. That way you can work out what time people need to be at each stop

I would ask on the SEAT forums for this specific question. From what I remember, most of the "cool" tools like VAG Com used the CAN BUS rather than ODB to interact with the car. So I dont think it will work, but then again, cant see there being any harm in trying Usual disclaimer applies, dont cry to me if it fries the ECU

You definately are! Our local chippy is owned by what I can only describe as a typical English thug and staffed by Chinese people. They are all lovely, but do conform to every stereotype out there! Highly amusing

Maybe it should be about now that you all head over to http://www.engrish.com/ Found this outside Bullets house, think hes a bit over protective of his Zed .... (j/k buddy!)

True however MOT checks are standardised and MOT testers are checked regularly. They *should* all test to the same standard. +1 - price shouldnt change what they do at all. They have to do a certain number of checks for you to pass.
