Automatic S1 with cloth/tweed... 480bhp apparently, and arnt the bovs on the wrong pipes??!! Awful bodykit - yuk!

Blurgh!! It's got those hideous viper wings too, that instantly de-values it into the minus figure! :hurl:

Think it must be the tweed that's pushed the asking price so high! :wack:

Really dont like that. Wrong on so many levels.

ouch! bov's are in the right place tough... they should be as close to the pots as possible and the plenum intake is as good as you'll get.

BOVs certainly ARE in the wrong place. Would be in the right place if they were in the trash! :rofl:

Advert says its a manual. but its clearly an auto.

looks like the price has well and truly gone up

Maybe its how much hes gonna give us to take it off his hands !

BOVs certainly ARE in the wrong place. Would be in the right place if they were in the trash! :rofl:

 

Lol... I knew you wouldnt have much love for that one...

 

 

Although if those bovs are in the correct place, then mine are wrong :s Weird as the set up on this one is the same as on myold grey one. I must admit, on both occasions I have bought the car fitted with them!

Any BOVs are in the wrong place. :rofl:

Any BOVs are in the wrong place. :rofl:

 

Shut it! LOL If you drive like I do then they dont actually do anything most of the time ;)

Only when flooring it, and they do sound epically cool then.

 

Not the Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Tshhhhhh brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Cool? Like a Scania's airbrakes? :rofl: :wack:

 

Wastegate chatter is infinitely cooler.

Lol nooooo some do sound crap I have to say, but mine do sound good. Had plenty of comments when chasing mates and that they all they can hear is my DV's and it sounds imense....

You have to remember Si, I'm much much younger than you ;)!

I was only a year older than you when I bought my Z. ;)

 

I'd rather have an NA than a TT with dump valves! :rofl: ;)

LOL.....

 

.....if £12k is the going price for a Z like that, then we should all be very happy!! Just think how much some of the cars on here would be worth in comparison!!!!

 

Richard:smartass:

Err are you sure?? LOL How old are again?

31. I was 24 when I got mine.

Tell a lie, I was 25, only 2 years older.

Have you owned that 7 years now? Hell fire! I was 20 when I had my first one, 23 with this one so fair enough ;)

 

Nah I will be honest, if the car didnt have them I wouldnt fit them, but the problem I have is finding good recircs (although I havnt looked!) I cant imagine than any second user ones are going to be in good condition!

6 years now. Yup. Longest I've ever held on to a car. No plans selling yet unless I emigrate.

is that the escort front. nice to see people trying for a higher price even though i dont like it lol!!

maybe hes about to do an insurance scam....lol

lol, its not that your bovs are in the wrong place, just maybe not the best... when the engine is sucking in a shed load of air and you release the throttle, all the demand for air in the pots deminishes but the tubbies are still spooled up creating pressure which needs to go somewhere. it would try to exit back out the intake as this is now its only escape, but to get out it has to go back through the turbos causing it to stall and reverse direction suddenly potentially causing damage to the turbo over time. the bov simply releases this air pressure to atmosphere and the most effecient place to do it is asap!

 

sorry if i am teaching people to suck eggs but i dont want quavey tearing his plumbing apart thinking all hell would break loose!

Cobblers it'll damage the turbos. Not a single car manufacturer fits atmospheric dump valves to its cars. You never read of damaged turbos due to pressure issues either. More people complain about poor running after fitting these things than anything else.

 

DVs are dumping metered air in an operation for them to make their silly noise and will cause rich running, hesitation and a delay in boost pressure...not always noticeable, but because the ECU is working on the premise that any unused air is recirculated via the recirc valves, the above can always be expected when running stock management.

You're sensible enough and haven't fitted them anyway! :)

it will without recircs fitted... which quavey wont. i wasn't saying they are the best way of doing it and agree with you 100% si (thus why i dont have bovs) i was merely explaining the philosophy behind what he has fitted :)
