  1. Does Mackerel residue look, smell and taste like fanny batter then? I've never tried it (Mackerel I mean)
  2. Good point Merckx. It really gets up my nose when people expect us to spoonfeed them and admit they can't be bothered to search.
  3. Interesting. Would it be worth having my clutch adjusted to see if that fixes the problem? Or is it unlikely to? How does one adjust these clutches? Is it a 'box off' job? If I need a new clutch; Would it be a lot of work to convert it back to a stock pull-type clutch with a stock flywheel? What would be a good choice of fast road clutch that can cope with 500-550rwhp? I'm not interested in spending £1000+ on a clutch though. Thanks

    B.o.v.

    Better than the standard one? The standard one works really well you know. Is yours broken? I might have a spare standard one you can have here somewhere
  5. I disagree. Doing it that way makes it more accurate than the tacho previously was. If you know it's reving at say 650rpm and you fit the needle in that position it's gotta be right, hasnt it?
  6. We now think the VVTi NA was LHD only. AFAIK nobody on here has ever seen a j-spec VVTi NA. See the attached pic of a (LHD) VVTi NA - for identification purposes. ------------- Edit, GRRRR! Beaten to it by Faye wwhile looking for the photo.

    What's a retarted midget anyway? One that's had her 2nd make-over?
  8. That would've been later than 93 then Doug. 95/96?
  9. Yeah? Bummer. I guess if I don't want the same one again then that'll mean a whole new clutch/pressure plate/flywheel,etc. You can't just swap in a different make clutch plate, can you?
  10. Ever since TOTB last year I've had a problem with my clutch slipping (bloody drag radials give too much grip) ...but to me it doesn't seem like classic slipping clutch symptoms. It starts slipping from around 4500 if I WOT rev the car in 2nd or 3rd gear, then when I go for the next gear it slips again straight away. But if I back off the throttle for sec then give it WOT in the higher gears it doesn't slip. Isn't that arse-about-face? Doesn't a slipping clutch normally slip worse in the higher gears, rather than the lower ones? It's an OSGiken clutch. Twin plate I think (not 100% sure really) and I believe it's a 'push' type. I've just lived with this problem for the last 10 months and it didn't get any worse in that time, but now I've fitted a larger turbo it's slipping more - so I guess I better sort it out. So, should I just get the clutch plate changed? Or do the symptoms suggest something else could be the problem? Any thoughts? Thanks
  11. 650rpm I believe, Si. That's what my e01 used to read the tickover as anyway. I'm sure it's more accurate than the stock tach
  12. Awesome work there Christophe. I see you also like "having fun". What a coincidence - so do I !!!
  13. My mrs sent me that in an email earlier. It also said "It looks like a cubism picture of a woman with big hair and numerous earings giving a blowjob to a guy wearing a London t-shirt"
  14. SOLD! I'll have it for £500 ! You can keep the 5k ICE though.

    Yeah right.

  20. Has WSB or anyone else tried that one yet?
  21. You can't. Just bin it. The spare wheel should be a space saver that is hidden beneath a false floor panel. You shouldn't be able to see it.
