    Madeno Racing big brake kit inventory? Who's in for it?

    Ok, ok, but to be fair you can't compare fitted prices with DIY or DIY + modifications... Not all of us are mechanics or have the space and equipment to do so! It's like a cambelt, the parts cost close to nothing, but the labour involved...

    Longer 5th gearing

    @Hutchie, do you mean just the 5th gear or did you change the entire gearbox?

    Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

    @BikNorton, probably the tyres are bigger overall than the cups and the offset does the rest...

    gt engine replacement, mad thoughts

    Well even those 4x4 205T16 E2's and 6R4's don't look so easy to drive...

    Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

    I am all about spoilers, turbo's or the highest n/a output, but I think the 997 GT3 is the best looking 911 ever! I even prefer it over the 911GT2 and GT3 and GT2 RS, despite those are wider and are faster... To bad for me the 4.0 regulation spec engine isn't in the standard GT3: I mean 125 bhp...

    gt engine replacement, mad thoughts

    Driftcars... Hmmm... Don't like them at all! But group B's: yes! But comparing a front engined, rear wheel drive car to the mighty 205T16 E2 doesn't make sense at all... I think a turbo'd 1.6 or 2.0 would do the trick same a high revving 2.0 engine... How about a Corsa VXR engine, tuned to over...

    Anti Facelift Twingo Alliance (AFTA)

    I agree about the facelift, but why is every journalist moaning about the 1st generation Twingo? I really prefer the 2nd one!

    Petrol? V-Power or not?

    Most V8's have low power per liter anyway... I think an 125 bhp 1.0 ecoboost for example would do even better on high octane fuels...

    At Power - ITB kit for Twingo 133.

    You could contact olymeca in France they have a lot of experience with the K4M (and RS) engine, they offered me an upgrade to 180 bhp for around 6k ex VAT. But if you want they can offer you the real 230+ bhp Super 1600 deal like in their French championship winning Twingo.

    Why not? A cruise control is always relaxing to drive on boring roads, no matter what the power...

    Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

    Looks neat but tight! Do you think the 17 inch cup wheels will fit? Not considering the diameter, but the wide of the caliper?

    Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

    Not surprising considering the offset and big slicks... And of course the suspension on full load on the track...

    Power @wheels versus power @flywheel

    Me neither... Would fancy the R2 manifold, kat and custom silencer though...

    Power @wheels versus power @flywheel

    We all know in the end you have less power @wheels then the engine chucks out @flywheel. But when I searched for an exhaust I came to the site of Supersprint whom for most cars have a dyno read out: nice! Interesting to see that Honda's have less transmission loss then a Renault (or other...

    Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

    That's a nice feeling! Glad you like the brakes as some people claim you can do the same with oem sized discs, but at least you tested them both and feel the difference... Your car is now half a race car, cool! Is it just the manifold that makes the car so much louder? A manifold used to be on...
