Indeed I only get it in first gear too, if I come off the gas and then try to go again when I come up to a junction or something. Thanks for the info about over-fuelling Tigz, that is what I was implying when I said it wasn't getting enough air (to mix).

Interesting. Thanks for that, I have a long standing theory that the location of the air intake causes the characteristic kangarooing early in the mornings.

Tell me, do you still get the car kangarooing or jerking in the mornings with your air intake re-routed?

Just to say I get the same with mine, it feels like the engine is not getting enough air. Can anybody tell me if they still get this with an aftermarket air intake fitted? Ryn

I'm trying to find some of the correct size tyres as well and it's a real nightmare! Most people don't stock them unfortunately, even Dunlop don't have any in and aren't planning to make any more for a month or so. I can get two for about £100 each style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

What's the news on the manifold Tim? Do you have some contact details for someone for me to speak to at Janspeed about getting hold of an exhaust? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I bought an exhaust for my Civic Type-R and it needed a lot of work to get fitted. Similar thing to you. I bought one from the same company (Skunk2) for the S2000 and it went straight on. That's how it goes sometimes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Looks nice now though mate.

No style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> But I have been in an S2000 (I used to own one) and that drives very well. My point was why not get a car that is designed to take the power rather than one that isn't. The last thing you'd want is to spend £9k on doing up a car to crash it a week later because you weren't used to it being so front heavy or something.

Yeah man get that 1.8T in it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Looks fantastic well done on all the hard work!

I was quoted £7k plus VAT with JBS for a 1.8T drive in drive out conversion. But you will then be able to sell your old engine to re-coup some of the initial outlay. Personally I would have to have a new exhaust system, induction kit and ECU remap to go with the new engine, you would want to do it properly. I reckon £9k all in would sort you out with a 220bhp motor, but then what's the point when you can sell the loop for say 7k and spend the £16k on an older M3, S2000, Clio V6 etc etc etc that has all that power plus a chassis that can take it.

Yuk. Don't. Or we'll all point and laugh at you. As Twisty said, Viper stripes are called Viper stripes becaquse they go on Vipers. That Lupo looks like a BMW Mini from that angle.

Yeah so am I Tim give them a kick up the ass and get it sorted style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

My GF's Polo does this - there is a plastic ring on the steering column behind the steering wheel that has come loose and is rubbing when the wheel turns. Annoying. I promised her I'd try to fix it back again but it's a cnut to get to.

Glad it's not just mine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Normally leave her to warm a little before I drive her and I still get it. It feels like the engine is being starved of air via the intake. Once you are away and the engine is sucking it settles down. Even if she isn't warmed up I always drive her carefully for a few minutes anyway, treat my baby with respect style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Anyone else get this? First thing when started up, back out of my drive, put her in first, and she wants to kangaroo hop all the way down my road style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Switch to second and it settles down. Is this something to do with the silly location of the air intake?
