  1. Yeah mate. it has turned out to be quite a good kit for the price.
  2. just looked on the aquamist forum, a guy on there tested a few combintions and the best for performance was just distilled water! and also mentioned that if planning to get the car setup methanol was an easier fuel to add into the mix for extra performance, but if you plan to keep the W/I just for cooling then Distilled water will do the job just fine. so i may scrap the R/C car fuel idea and just run with my 70/30 Water/methanol mix. it is also mentioned that you will only get a real effect if nitro is mixed with methanol 50/50 this will give the greater gains. i am no expert on W/I so cant really say if any of this is true or not. http://www.aquamist.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=451&start=120&sid=477d9ed492f6764e23fd3395a2cd997a
  3. do these kits come with ARBs for the front and rear then darren??
  4. what sort of power is your car kicking out mate? looks like you got a mega spec, bet that bloody flies 8)
  5. not totaly sure?? this is what i am trying to find out, i have just had a look on the aquamist site and there is a big topic on this particular subject, its 9 pages long so must have some info on it, i think the oil in the R/C is a caster based oil, and with this water down may not have an effect?? again its all questions at the moment, although there have been a few very suprising gains from going down this route albeit with greater concentrations on the R?C car fuel, up to 70BHP on a particular cosworth :shock:
  6. dont forget the head wind might have had quite an impact, i think it was mentioned that upto 0.5 - 1.0 second could have been lost??? so 16 secs is about right i should think.
  7. Calling all Water injection people.... before i head out and try the aquamist forum. Just thinking about adding in a 10% quantity of Nitro methane fuel into my water/ methanol mix?? i ve heard this can give quite good gains?? I ve worked it out that, my percentage amounts would be 60% distilled water 30% methanol 10% Nitro methane fuel (R/C car fuel) I wouldnt have thought this small amount would cause any damage to the internals would it??
  8. might have some 8mm ronal hubcentric wheel spacers which may help i had intended to fit them to my 17" BBS Rxs but i now have Porsche D90s and no longer need them, Prob looking for around £40 +P&P.
  9. is there any way of checking the sensors with say a multimeter?
  10. i did think that actually, in theory i shouldnt be doing more than 70... 8)
  11. can you do vagcom on G60s?
  12. My ABS light on my 92 G60 has started to come on, it only ever comes on after 100mph?? its fine up until then?? could this be a problem with one of the sensors? is there a way to check them? Any help would be fantastic cheers!
  13. That looks like a minter! nice one
  14. Nice car mate! always fancied owning a silver rado, almost bought one on ebay the other week!!
  15. does anyone know if that guy that fixes the dents that was at the last RR day @ stealth will be at the next one in april??
  16. Thats gonna be fecking quick! Cant wait to see this in action at somepoint, should be awesome!!
  17. i believe this is the method Darren uses at g-werks uses when doing the custom maps?? Not sure tho...
  18. You do it on humans??! :shock: ;) Is this not the correct method.... :)
  19. I am doing my front bumper att he moment!! using 2K paint, this gives a very good finish and is relatively straight forward to use.. like its been mentioned before its all down to the prep work and experience! i do most of my painting in my garage at home, i can get the finish looking very professional as long as time is taken, on bigger panels like the bonnet leave it too the pros.... much larger area to fuck up!! but for smaller areas its not hard you just need patients.
  20. too top it off, my throttle jammed wide open today in a 30 zone!! nearly crashed straight into a parked car! scared my self shiteless yet again! not having much luck at the moment... :roll:
  21. they are 195/40/R16 Continentals
  22. would this have contributed to the tyre failure at all??
  23. yeah i thought that was a bit high?? thats how it came from the tyre fitters, so i assumed it may be ok?? obviously not...
