Olly that is fantastic newsFinally have some good news, apart from a missing downpipe the f7r is complete and running, soon as the downpipe is on it's on the road
Apart from needing a timing light and a pair of hands to get the crank ref set up properly there's nothing I can do till I get t downpipe
I guess I could give it a clean lol

What downpipe are you going for?? Are you getting a custom jobbie of just going down the K-Tec clio mk1 route
Custom job, does the mk1 clio job fit then?What downpipe are you going for?? Are you getting a custom jobbie of just going down the K-Tec clio mk1 route
Yeah fits fine, Steve had it on his and I use the BBPT version on mine
The only mods I had to do to the BBPT version was enlarge the holes as the BBPT jobbie was desgined around a T28/T25 rear. But I know Steve's K-tec version bolted straight onto the T28 without fault. You will also need part of the de-cat aswell as mine and steve's side exit were a little short to mate up but a cut of the decat and a clamp job done
I will find some pic's of Steve's as I know he took a couple of pics

Gives you something else to look at, might be worth looking on the valver and williams forums to see if there are any 2nd hand ones about. Be careful the earlier BBPT ones are not stainless steel the later version are stainless steel.
Yeah the k-tec one fits the GTT if you are using the log manifold & a T28 or some sorts Oli, £290 from k-tec though + you need a de-cat & postage
I got mine 2nd hand with the de-cat & still cost me £200
I got one here which i'm not using anymore
Well my custome job should turn up Friday so I'll how well that works first.I got one here which i'm not using anymore
Just incase how much would you want for it?
Spent a couple of hours working on the suspension, I've got AVO coilovers but I've always felt they ran to low and with heavier engine now in place some had to be done.
First job was to get the old springs off and take some measurements, easier send than done when they have seized up, some adjustment with a hammer and a bolster got the adjuster free, a good clean up and regrease and the damper is ready.
The old springs were the ones supplied by AVO and as far as I can find out there 2.25" ID x 7" long 220lbs, so I've ordered some that are 2.25" ID x 8" long 300lbs, with any luck this should raise the front enough to clear speedbumps without scrubbing and still maintaine
reasonable ride comfort
£100 for it mate, i can supply pics of it if you want to see it first
Stick it to one side fella, I'll see how well this custome job goes and I'll let ya know
Well thats just great, spent the other night getting front shocks ready for new springs, ordered them, said they'd be delivered on tuesday, so when they turned up today I thought result, ripped open the packing to find only 1 spring
I'm sorry but am I being dense or does a car require 2 springs on the front? I'm not sure now as the company must think cars only have 1 spring on the front
Ok so once again I got back to offic today to parcel, after they sent me only 1 spring Friday they went and sent me 2 springsthe first was blue these new pair are black apart from that the specs are the same so there now on the car and mission accomplished the front is raised by about an inch
Gave the firm a quick call to tell of their second cock up, they said keep the first spring so that's gunna become a vase on my dinning room table
Bbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooooosssssssssstttttttttt
How much....
6.8psi according to the data log, crusing at 2000rpm in 4th at 1psi of boost it took 100rpm to spool
Goes like a ****

Your right I have been driving the connect too long, so long infact that it's about to die lol
Well that's the first two days of testing the new engine out of the way and pleased to report no major problems otherthan the speedo not wanting to work
Had a good laugh Saturday night as a chap in stripped ph1 Clio cup tried to race me, bearing in mind I'm running just under 7psi of boost, 5500rpm limit and no more than half throttle he couldn't catch me
sweet dude. I think i should come and get a passenger ride in it and get the love back buy a 5 and do the conversion. Good stuff m8. Punched ya car? Do ya know him then?
Feel free bud but wait till early november, as i'll have it mapped by then.
I know of him, used to think he was an ok chap but lately he's been showing his true colours, pissing people off and generally acting like a ****
No I'm not.
Sounding good though, when you next up this neck of the woods.
Well done mate its nice when things start coming together.
If i was to race a car and he punched mine cos i beat him i think id put my boot through his then him lol, what a prick!
it think a name and shame is order(vehicle reg & colour
for his sake and mine, if i just dusted him and pulled over for a chat , and he lost the plot and started kicking the **** out of my 5, put it this way , those who know me, know i'm a easy going, piss taking kind of guy,but if somebody did that to my car, by the time i had calmed down, i would be up for murder, i kid you not.sounds silly i know,but i've worked dam hard and spent many days and nights/weekends getting my car where it is , just for some ****bag loser, who cant accept and admire somebody elses hard work and achievment. that is just too low

Calm down Andy, its only a comercial
oh and as far as the RR day goes, already told ya, can't afford to get it mapped in time and I'm not driving to the other side the country with a part map to a dyno day without going on the rollers.
hahaaaar (sorry, watched POTC last night so I did argh)
But if your working loads?
You should have £££
You're doing something wrong there fella, but not to worry, Cameron's not helping you.
WE hope to pop over next week to Marky's (If he's all ok with that) at some point - be good to meet up there if you can.
Unfortunately recent unexpected issues with various things, the sills for example have taken a big bite out my funds
Yeah Cameron's a ****
Well let me know when your on the way and I'll join ya
C1J for the WIN !
if it wernt possible - he won't post.C1J for the WIN !
Basically - Oli, forget it, you will never win!
I feel a duel coming on, Blyton park, national day 2012, me vs Ross, C1j vs F7rC1J for the WIN !
Oh dear, the Americans off the local base are starting to dislike me, Saturday night a couple of them turned up in their tuned 3.5ltre V6 turbo GTO looking for a race, sorry boys, 2 up, trolley jack and a load of tools in the boot and the toaster wins with ease
I'd better watch out for friendly fire lol
LMAOI feel a duel coming on, Blyton park, national day 2012, me vs Ross, C1j vs F7r
Wow! (btw, I'm not impressed that you beat a GTO) you got it mapped then? What did you get on the rollers?Oh dear, the Americans off the local base are starting to dislike me, Saturday night a couple of them turned up in their tuned 3.5ltre V6 turbo GTO looking for a race, sorry boys, 2 up, trolley jack and a load of tools in the boot and the toaster wins with ease

Nope mapping is booked for the 9th november, I put it down to the fact I had a weight advantage and the fact that GTO's are rubbish at drag racing
i raced a veyron, i pissed all over him when he was doing 30mph i did 35!
