Why dont you get someone like Leon at Alunox to make you a custom one to meet your requirements. TBH thats probably a route im going to take, purely because i can go with a design i want and have the exhaust made to fit my requirements. With a engine like yours with such a high state of tune, surely that would be benificial to you?? Just a thought anyway

jeeeeesus, thats a hugh amount of torque! At what RPM is it hitting peak torque???

yep. the whole car looked stock

I couldnt see Jamie as a decent GP rider, but he is proving me wrong, and fair play to him. but im Rossi through and through, always have been always will be. Hes just a genius

Im seem to remember that a faulty speedo converter (guessing you have an import) can cause this. Search the site, you should find the answers you seek

big lips :x:

she got massive feet because shes quite obviously a Hobbit

Peeps, My in-laws are emmigrating to Cyprus, and the missus obviously want to keep in touch as often as she can, so i thought that a web cam would probably be the best and easiest way for her to do this. The thing is i know sweet FA about web cams. All i know is i want a good quality one with a high resolution and decent frame rate. Can anyone make any recommendations? Secondly, what is Skype all about, is there anything special about it? Advise please Nick

was going to say try wikipedia, but it only quotes up to 1996

Yes mate, went to have a look today. Nice example, only blemish on the bodywork is on the n/s/f wing where its been chipped quiet badly and someones used a paint pen to cover it. Not too sure on the milage tho. The general condition of interior is very good, but the steering wheel is very well worn, to the point of where you would think a car had done 120,000 miles plus. Worth looking at for the money tho mate HTH Nick

and the result is.......??

because the compression gauge holds its peak reading until you release the pressure by pressing the little button on the side

First of all, do it when the engine is warm. Secondly remove the fuse for the fuel, its in the little fuse box in the top left hand corner of the engine in a row of 4 or 5 fuses, its the one on the far right. Oh and do them on full throttle, ie then you turn the engine over do it with the accelerator on the floor. You should only need the to the engine over 4 or 5 cycles for it to show full compression. If you get a low reading on a cylinder (anything below 140psi), poor a tiny bit of oil into the cylinder. If this improves the reading, your looking at piston rings, if not i think its headgasket or poor valve seating. HTH and fingers crossed for you fella

bad earth?

I'd go with TPS mate, the symptoms you describe point to that

aaaah gotcha. was going to suggest getting a paint thickness gauge, but that wont help

just out of interest... why?

shame shes not fit

I would say yes it is, because it is a foam rather than a liquid, and stays as a foam as you agitate it. I have double checked the back of the bottle, and it says ALL painted, powder coated, polished, unpolished and aluminium wheels, unlike Wonder Wheels, which i believe says is not safe to use on split rims. HTH

Cheers mate

This may be helpfull to some and not others, but hey, i thought id do it anyway. Im normally a "wonder wheels" faithfull but i thought id try something new on my wheels. I'm pretty fond of the whole Meguair's range so i thought id give their "Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner" a crack. Firstly, i know my wheels dont appear that dirty. But all the brake dust and grime you can see on the wheel is well and truely ground in and not something that would come off with a wipe with a sponge (trust me i tried :headvswal ) Right, i started off with just giving the wheel a good rinse with the hose to get rid of any of the loose debris that was sitting on the surface of the wheel ...and a close up showing the ground in kack Then i sprayed on the wheel cleaner, which comes out as a foam.. I let this soak for about 30 - 45 seconds (Bottle recommends 15 - 30 but i decided to spark up a fag :x: ) I then used a wheels brush to agitate the cleaner. This foamed up even more, just like wonder wheels does when you use the brush. I then gave it a good rinse.. and the results after 1 use of the stuff.. ^^^^ Also notice the brake caliper, it has cleaned them up as well^^^ As you can see on this one, the brake dust has corroded the wheels quiet badly on the painted part of the wheels causing pitting, but TBH you have to look closely to really notice You can also see that it has left some of the corroding behind on the "polished" part of the rim, but overall it has made a good dent in removing alot of the corrosion. My verdict, to be honest, I find it alot less work using this rather than wonder wheels, and i think the whole process is quicker, especially as the cleaner already comes out as a foam and requires less aggitation than wonder wheels. The next step of sorting these wheels out will be to attack them with 1200 grade Wet and Dry. Once ive done that, ill do a side by side comparison of Autosol and Meguairs NXT Gen metal wax. Hope this has provided some people food for thought when they choose there next wheel cleaning product. Cheers Nick

right ive had enough. Wheres the vodka

it got worse, made the mistake of coming home via the A3. Jesus wept the road works down there are insane. Its just chicane after chicane of cones after scamera after bloody scamera. Normally it wouldnt bother me, but being so tired it just wound me up. And then Basil Brush and Bambi decided to join in on the fun and try and get a look inside my bonnet. Yesterday was NOT a good day. Now to wash the car and relax

Why not? Get someone to take your car over on the ferry, and fly over.
