Yeah sorry, worth that money if they fitted eh? Saxo owners missed one there imho

What is the bore size? and offset ET? please.

Yes, they are 4x108 aren't they.

Ending soon... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151021127851?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Yes, removed, as per my tb ebb style thread

I still can't get mine to tick over at 750rpm tps connected or not. How far the revs rise when I disconnect it does seem to depend on the dizzy position though. I posted earlier about feeling more torque 2mm away from where I got it but the fuel economy went poor and I noticed it seemed weak...

I did disable it on the white 1.3 I had but this car has a different purpose so I didn't consider it so important. I guess the question I have to answer now is which way of driving will yield the fastest acceleration. Gearing for peak torque or peak power. By this I mean changing up to drop...

Considering my peak torque came up at 4000rpm and peak power at 6500rpm would there be any benefit in disabling my rev limiter?

Yes, the dyno does use the "rundown" data when he lifts the throttle to assess the transmission losses. This is to calculate the f/w torque and horsepower. It's a shame these are the numbers we bandy around as they are only calculations and therefore have the potential to be miscalculated -...

Simon was surprised by the magnitude of the transmission losses, 30bhp and 17ft/lb. He said this was only typical of more powerful cars. Is this typical for our car? My gearbox is nice and full of 75w/80, it almost motivates me to switch to an engine oil, 5w/30 semi synthetic perhaps? I've heard...

Ah, I see. I have 2 questions, nobody's mentioned either area yet so I'll lead out - I expected to see a dip around 4000rpm due to the 'lean fuelling' in the stock map (I read about it on here) but mine seems to show a peak in both curves there and a dip at 4700rpm instead. Anyone know why...

Air : Fuel ratio Frank? No. How would he have done that?

Edit - camshafts added to mods list. Yes that's 50 wheel horsepower, the calculated f/w hp is in (brackets)

Got the Grape on a rolling road dyno today courtesy of Simon at Get Dyno'd in Buckley, Flintshire. http://www.getdynod.co.uk/ Mods on the car are - Custom cold air feed K&N air filter Ebb style throttle body 1.3 camshafts Frankspeed exhaust manifold 2nd decat Sportex back box What do we...

How do you do this Frank? Just disconnect it or remove it and block the air passages?

I've tried this and still can't get the idle down below 850rpm. A bit surprising considering the idle screw air passage is entirely blocked off and disabled.

Towrope and lamppost works well in my experience.

Mine's been on the road for just over a year and it's the first time I've purposefully taken the bumper off ;) I half expected it not to last this long considering what I do with it. I suppose I should give it an oil change tbh. Yeah, the airbox flummoxed the last scrutineer to look it over...

I cut these 4.5kg spotlamp brackets off the car today. Replaced them with this slimline alternative. While in there I found this and this Ugleeey
