Nope. Sorry. Il conceded that they are like go karts when you get a good one. However they are all such bland shapes like a roller skate, pretty much all are FWD and 4 poppers. Nothing exciting there, I see no more excitement in a civic type R than your nannas Micra.

I hate civics, in fact any little hatch like that is dishwater IMO.

Very chic. That will change things a touch. :cool:

Yeah, the fault comes when you park up and shut down a HOT engine. The interior of the turbo core is quite tight, where the housing is roasting the oil burns and eventually it all cokes up. If however you don't rag it and shut it off this won't occur. Just back off and drive gently, ie off boost for the last minute or two. Having your engine run for a minute or two after you arrive does the same, except you will have lower oil pressure, so the oil cooler won't be active and you arnt gaining the benefit of air cooling from driving along. The idea of walking away from a running car seems daft to me. Kinda a rice modification. Think about it, how many road cars have them from factory? Electric pumps that continue to circulate coolant, yeah but not ones that make you engine run for a few minutes unattended.

Sequential?

It might not be a bad thing tbh. Does your insurance know it's fitted? Many companies really don't like them. There a bit a gimmick really and achieve nothing that can't be achieved by simply staying off boost for a minute or so towards the end of your drive.

A definite no.

I've never had to but I can't say you won't. Depends if that line is a hicas line. Be worth tracing it.

I've drained mine more than once with no ill effect. You simply refill and rock the the wheel lock to lock till the bubbles stop. The hicas is more of a nuisance, but I doubt it will cause you grief. Crack on mate, small fish that one.

That looks like it drives like sports car it was built to be. :wack:

Kinda looks like the average road here in Dorset. Tree lined, full of pot holes and on the wonk. A real patch work quilt of surfaces. There not pot holes dear taxpayer, they are reverse speed bumps.

Oh right didn't realise he did stuff like that. Where was that advertised?

Who?

I might get away with this, I'm off that Thursday and Friday as the fishing season begins on the Thursday. Madams off work atm so I might be able to wangle the day out. Put me down as a maybe.

Tesco. There's more than that chunk. Google the ariel view.

I must admit I sat there for 5-10 minutes eating a sandwhich, thinking about the race cars with those old engines thundering their large displacement long stroke engines round the banking. Would of been a real sight in its day.

I seem to remember you affectionately calling them "shit catchers".

I agree but once you see how much it's been butchered and built around you see how unworkable that is. - - - Updated - - - It's something that did cross my mind. Good place for a meet.

It is indeed the historic Brooklands circuit. This random chunk of it is inter sliced with modern roads. The museum was a stones throw away.

Il let it run a little while before I confirm. Yes a banked race track Russ.

Rolling along as I do for work I do occasionally find some cool stuff by accident. Today I found this; So let the guessing commence...it's Motorsport related. Hellraiser is exempt as he already knows the answer.

This is when I can tell you've never met him. He's pretty noisey, you can't miss him when he arrives. Really? You found no reference?

How has that escaped you? He never shuts up about the bloody thing :lol:

Think that's my winter project this year.

With proper tools you will be fine.
