Strange noise? Supercharged?
I've noticed the same on mine it makes a noise like a supuercharger in 1-3 then stops in 4 and 5 and also the noise dissapears when the car is stationary soon as i dip the clutch??????

Clutch whine.....
Did it stop after a while then? Only thing that worries me is it never used to do it before? If it is the input shaft bearing where would i change the oil for this.......never change the oil for this before?????

Clutch whine.....
I've noticed my clutch is making a whining noise which dissapears whenever i depress it, it also now sounds like i've a supercharger installed which well was nice but gets on my nerves now....i need more peace! It's an RPS street clutch and lightened flywheel which i've had for about a year and a half, the noise seemed to just appear one day and is definately not the gearbox noise or any other as it's easy to hear when the car is stationary and next to a wall!!!!! Any help or good clutch experts greatly appreciated. Cheers Alex

Bad Fuel????
I'm living in Plymouth for a month attending an electricians course in Exeter....... I drove down from London today car running fine no problem at all,stopped at Exeter to put £15 worth of V-max in and about 15 minutes later i feel the car isn't running as it should....a few minutes later it starts coughing as though the fuel isn't getting through, pull over and check everything and the idling is so bad it almost stalls.....everything looks ok check TPS, plugs, Temp sensor, plug and PTU but all looks well.....left the car for an hour start it up and seems to idle ok, my first thought is the fuel and second is the PTU but it's a series 2 so surely this would be ok????? Also thinking it could be the fuel pump does this fail gradually or just pack up completely????? Going to check all fuses to make sure nothing is loose and again all wiring to the plugs.... All i've done today to the car is clean out the throttle bodies and spray carb cleaner in that pipe in the back i can't remember the name of????? Any advise anyone????

Next upgrade?????????
Thinking of de-cats but not until i can afford new tubs........on that point been looking into Hybrids which should give me better spool and a little more power but i don't want to get into to having to upgrade internals just yet......i would rather get the most out of the engine i have now......but how much more power would Hybrid tubs give me before i would have to start getting 555's and forged pistons etc....????
