I hate sunroofs. They don't cool you down, the sun beats down on your head, then it shines in your eyes, there's a terrific roar at cruising speeds and they all eventually break and/or leak. And thats if they don't go rusty.

Saves waxing! Lawn mower anyone!!

Prob 3 times the price though, but way cool 8)

I'd hate to drive a common car such as a Ferrari. The shame of it :lol:

I miss my Blitz Super Sound blow off valve :( :(

IMO its only the VR that will ever become a truly sought after classic of any description, so i wouldn't worry to much about going for a valver. Speed wise, they're always going to feel slow compared to a Skyline. I went from a 255 brake GT4 to a 1.8 valver. And yeah, its got nowhere near the pace or torque. I can now no longer pee off Boxter 'S' and other fancy cars, but hey, i put a hell of a lot less motion lotion in. And after a while when you get used to the car it can still feel good and surprise you :)

So do Corrado's :lol: :lol: :lol:

TURBO!!!!!! Drooooool :lol: :lol:

Just Googled Mattig and put my cars details in as a 53i chassis which brought up a badgeless grille for 48.40 euro's. The car pictured with grille looked an early Rado, it had the early bonnet anyway.

HERISITES i once saw a Clio 182 do the traffic light grand prix with a Lotus Elise. There was nowt in it :shock: POLL250 those 20v Fiat Coupe's are well quick. I went to York raceway few years back and there were 2 coupe's doing the run, and beating all the Sierra Cosworths in the process.

Thats not bad.......hmmmmm!!!

When it comes down to it, we're not going to be much competition to a car that weighs as much as a shoe and 120bhp :(

JAY2 don't be to disheartened man. Them diesels are feckers. Was the only thing i kept away from when i had my GT4 (255bhp). GOLDIE I remember years ago being a passenger in my mates Nova 1.4SR (the face-lifted ones with the lower ratioed gears) and we had a do with a 1.8 valver. Was embarrassing for the C i'm afraid to say. We got to a ton and we were just loving its rear bumper. The Nova was stock as you like, but i think those gearboxes had a lot to do with it coz they took off like a scolded cat. I drove a pre-facelift 1.4SR and it was pretty pants.

how long would that last on the various systems....approximately?

If you had a choice of a woman bra-less or with bra, which are you gonna choose?......Exactly. Take the hideous covers off chaps/chapesses and show the world you're gleaming paint you've spent thousands on. I mean you wouldn't buy an expensive painting fol the living room and turn it towards the wall so as not to let the dust and sunshine get to it

Did i just hear him say...."No other bicycle performs like that"?!!! Got bored of him waffling, had to turn him off in the end. Awesome speed though :)

Yeah,i'm going to hang fire until funds allow for a full set-up. Thinking of the Weitec Ultra GT kit. Seems well priced as i'm only after a subtle drop for the looks, and a bit more handling.

All car hi-fi shops sell them, including all the mail order specialists in the back of mags. Just ring round to get the best quote. Should cost around the £60 mark, give or take.

Excellent advice. A sports set-up it will be, when fundage allows.

Chers for that Dink. If its only a few quid i may as well fit a new one.

Aah, a bit bouncy then?

The common mod is to swap the inlet cam from a 1.8 (kr) valver for your inlet cam. This alone i'm told by the 2.0l peeps gives a noticable increase in power. One post said as much as 15bhp. Then fit a performance panel filter in your airbox and possibly drill the box to, on the wing side only.

Wow. I would never have realised that! I bow to your knowledge :study: Cheers matey.

The earth strap on the passenger side bulkhead that attatches to the bonnet in front of where the scuttle filter thing is, snapped today. Do i need to replace it asap, or can i leave it a few days? Don't relish my car going up in flames or owt :shock:

I'd change the dizzy cap and rotor arm as a matter of course as they're both cheap parts. A hairline cracked dizzy cap will let moisture in and cause problems.
