The only way this happens is if they one painted the panle ie the bumper of the car or masked it up seperatly or painted at any given different time.it is possible also that it will be more notice in base and clear and not a solid two pack coulour.is your car metalic silver?

safety mode
how do you do that please.

safety mode
Please let me try to explaine what i mean and in doing so might mean some wired illistrations but here goes. the car is idaling at say 750-800 rpm sound lovely not lumpy not noisey in any way, then you touch throttle now, it dos'nt rev sothly up to were ever you want it holds back for a secound almost if its staving of air then the revs come in thick and fast , now it doesnt matter if you rev it from 1000 rev 2000 rev 3 or even hold it at 4000 revs also it dosent matter if the peddles down hard or soft.now in my book if your car dose not rev nicely through the range like it use to thacking it up the road aint going to make any difference. the prob still there

what have i done?
After fitting the newly built tubs and replaced engine i have finnally got to stage where im checking everything. I turn here over she starts up perfect on the buttom im checking iol pressure that sits nice and gose up with a blip of the throttle then im looking at the boost gadge i have a uk tt. The gadge when running on tickover reads -14 and as soon as o blip the throttle shes up to o in the middle but shouldnt she go further is she in safty mode or something i cant run her down the road because its on ramps there is one other issue about breathing but ill look at that tomorow. if she is on safty how do you get her off? cheers.

Need Space
need space and so need to move engine oil cooler but the oil feed on the standard uk tt the oil feed comes from the bottom of the cooler and the pipe goes up 8" from the bootom to the top on inlet and outlet my question is can i recolate the oil cooler moving it up around 12" from were it was without causing any cooling problems.there will be much cooler where i want it to go but dont know if there is enough pressure at that hieght to keep the oil following?
