its all facinating stuff. (anything with a formula 1 analogy is right up my street. need a new thread on tyres i think soon.)

didnt think of that. but noticed your avatar file size is too big.

hehehehehe good..goooood, i can feel your hatred. your journey to the darkside is complete..

style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> pile of junk, what a waste of time. get old cars off the road i say.

go as the "headless cowgirl"

the type of tubing that get supplied with these type of kits is the most crappest ever. it will always break. go to demon tweeks and buy some of their proper air flexi duxting, you can choose the diameter and its silicone/neoprene 1 or 2ply. much stronger.

this is nearly how it was before i finished. there is the heater matrix in that pic but i took that out and replumbed the coolant lines. also took off the inside door handles and passenger side wing mirror. there are also no headlights or rear lights, they are stripped out. car legal only in daylight hours. this was my daily car for over a year like this. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />

the element in question is nitrogen this i have known is used in motorsport as it doesnt absorb water mollecules.

saw this, i like it. the money goes on the technology not the power really. 450bhp is plenty enough. it will have a very special driving techincal setup i believe just as the other GTR brought so much to the industry. i wonder if it really will be a v8? the japanese would prefer a v6.

i would say the dealer price has actually gone upto around £8,200. this is the great thing about lupo gti. trade in value to the dealer is £6,600. i would advertise it private sale for £7,500 ono.

about £25 + vat from an auto parts shop.

its not too restrictive . if the engine didnt get enough air from it, it would stall. it gets all the air it needs, but a direct forced feed (forced doesnt have to mean turbo/supercharger) then it will be a cooler bonus.

btw i have also seen that a remap can give a reported 14 bhp gain aswell over stock. so perhaps use those as high and low figures 6-14bhp.

aha the magic "detuned" word. they deserve to fail.

ah yes, i kind of meant freeflow in sence of no bad restrictions. but i dont think the stock backbox is a bad restricition anyway. i think keeping original "shape" of the exhaust system can be important in regards to the pulse tuning of the engine?
