you are far too sensible at times Andy lol Proxes T1R get my vote every time , yes wear rate isnt great but the grip in wet and dry is very confidence inspiring

always a relief, nice one Paul

this is supposed to be greener to produce, what total crap. When you work it all out this is no more environmentally friendly at all The big problem is that we are running out of crude oil so they are trying to preserve the bit we have by adding the bio fuel.Also i bet if you look at the directors and major share holders of these bio fuels companys most of them will be in one way or another part of our government.Bent Bastards lining their own pockets at our expense. Its about time more of the worlds governments put money into hydrogen cars, The only byproduct is water and not harmful gasses. The problem is that too many of the people who make the decisions in the world have a large interest in the oil companys and share values would plummet if oil useage dropped. Also the taxes the government receive from what we pay at the pumps is phenominal,oil companys only make pennys per litre profit .they say they are worried about green house gasses and the hole in the ozone layer but they are doing next to nothing to try sort this out my god im rambling now ,

I work for an oil refinery, i will speak to the lads in the lab when i get back to work and try to find out what the difference is between the supermarket fuels and the v power And no i dont get cheap fuel, bloody shame tho

OUCH Nearer £600 though for all the bits but still better than 2K and all the heartbreak and hassle just fortunate my oil pump was recalled before it was fitted , dont know what would have happened if it had as it was from a bad batch which were out of spec ,one of which was showing excessive wear and apparently was very noisy, good after sales from mwr in contacting me tho

Circuitworx oil pump, new timing chain,tensioner and guides just turned over 100k miles so Just for piece of mind really, not 100% sure whether or not she will get the rotrex next year yet but if she does then this work will be done ready , just wish i could have afforded the new sump too but that will have to wait for next year. Recently had a huge alloy rad , new water pump and cooler stat fitted too so hopefully i am going the right way to keeping her cool and keeping the oil flowing.

but you already knew that and its been going on now for about 10 years lol boys and their toys lol

just had an email saying my replacement circuitworx oil pump is winging its way to me yaay just ordered the rest of my partsfrom mr T , timing chain, slippers gaskets seals etc so when it goes into se7ens next month for cams i can get it all sorted in one go looking forward to getting those cams

sorry cant help you there mate

sorry have got to disagree with that statement ,mine has been run on it since new and its 100k now , might not be the best but you cant say its not very good

fully synthetic that is plus vat though so £60.01 for 25L cant knock that with a big stick can you ?

Went into Mr T today to order some bits and got quoted £15 for 5L of 5/30 £50 for 25L Beats halfrauds half price deal hands down

which meet you going to ?

welcome back mate , seems an age since i saw you post last hope all is good with you

failing that use a g clamp

and dont forget to smear a little oil over the seal on the new filter before you fit it

lol thankyou

whoa whoa whoa, didnt say i got trounced , just that i couldnt lose it , after finding out what power they have and how little they weigh im really happy with the way my car performed, looks like a trip to see Lee could be on the cards in the new year so i can shock a few people lol

you are right there but didnt see him wearing any burberry lol

just read that post ,it was a white one i was up against so looks like 202bhp according to Mick, i feel so much better now lol

no its still n/a . i would have been gutted then lol

it will get there eventually mate, keep the faith,you know what they say, all good things come to those that wait ,i will have to give you a bell one night for a yarn

lol i dont feel half so bad now ,didnt realise they had that much power, in fact i feel quite good now knowing mine is 9 years old ,heavier and should have only been on par power wise when it was new (99K now ),no wonder he looked quite suprised lol hows you John ?

just had a play with a new shape corsa vxr and couldnt shake him , side by side upto 140 till we had to back off , private road of course what bhp are they ? never had a type r that close before and they are pretty quick
