Mk1 XR2 back in 1999, twas Y reg 1983 so 16yr old! Was a belter car, I quite fancy another actually!

Yeah thats most likely the case, but cant see them selling many tbh. Would be interested in seeing some third party testing...

The price quoted in this thread doesnt justify that carbon part. Once a plug is made, it will cost about £100 to reproduce that.

There's no standardisation with it unless you religiously follow one tuning company. It's the reason why I don't bother re-selling or offering exhausts and induction kits....there's so much cheap stuff on the Market that people won't pay for quality. And with the F4Rs parts are relatively...

yeah understand that, but its not a £50 ebay job is it!!

I may be wrong, but id be suprised if that made the gains claimed. The obvious pro for that set-up is the cold air supplyfrom the front grill. However its wasted as the filter isnt enclosed and still drawing ambient under-bonnet air. Also from a testing point of view, its very difficult to...

its an acoustic valve to help reduce intake noise.

Im thinking they will match the carbon fibre roof vent ive just ordered for the rally car quite well!

Glass Fibre, price is the main advantage. Carbon fibre has a higher tensile strength, so is "stronger", and and thinner weave can be used allowing a lighter part to be achieved. its damn expensive though.

Carbon fibre-2.2kg £900/piece GRP-2.8kg £600/piece Will get some pics in my traders section for those interested.

Lacquer finnish, so you see the weave. Ok, also found a supplier for GRP doors. These are £600 each. Interested?

Ok found Carbon Fibre doors £900 each---2.8kg!! Very tempting!!

If I was to get them made, i'd get GRP. Dont see the point in carbon fibre on something which is so easily smashed. GRP doors at say £500/pair versus £1500-2000 per pair for CF...hmmm!

No not tried them. CF ones are available, ive seen them on a customers of Matt@TDF's X85. I could get some GRP ones made, but theres a min order of 5 sets. ANyone fancy a pair?!

Hi all, Does anyone know of a manufacturer of GRP or even carbon fibre doors for the Clio 3? Cheers Craig

Yup exactly that.

Yup and GrpA Clio. Done a few on the mk1 clios, works well.

Lol stop whinging, how am I picking holes in "everything" you say?! I was answering your question about map value. For the record, if anyone is brave enough, the best place for a cold air/high pressure feed for an airbox is the scuttle area ;)

A cold air feed can't have a volumetric efficiency. A change in MAP value indicates a change in the engines VE, ie a lower pressure differential accross the intake means you are a pressure value closer to atmos.
