Stop threatening to raise the pension age and all will be back to normal!

I had issues with the MAP sensor, which went none linear causing a number of problems. So although what you did do sorted it for a while, would suggest that one of those items has gone down again, I would look at the MAP also.

I think that is deliberate scare stuff. Bedford always used to be 87.5dB drive by. It was council monitored and strictly enforced on the rule that if you tripped it, that was the day done. Lots of reasons for this, but mainly Palmer corporate days are highly profitable and some silly person with...

I didn't think there were any second chances at Bedford.

If you need a replacement manifold, PM me as I have one

The car is just loud inside the car with any of those exhausts. There was a reason the standard box was how it was.

They also run slicks.

Flat spots are a common thing if the exhaust is messed with. And as said, the MAP sensor, which as you said it seems like running rich, it is more likely to be. They can go non linear, especially if you are not accelerating hard from low down. I guess the internal diaphragm gets sticky at that...

Have a word with Sean Edwards in Solihull.

Too many gear changes. It might seem perverse to say, because lower gears give better acceleration, but mostly in your head you brake more, so lose speed, to get into a lower gear than you need. You never recover that speed.

Although I have solid top mounts, which standard suspension does not, I would be hard pushed to say it is more refined than standard cup suspension.

Bilstien B14 and adjustable top mounts. Makes cup suspension feel less brutal!

I have some 200 cup suspension if you are interested. The fronts, including spring and top mounts were on the car about 6 months, if that and the rears are springs only, so you would need dampers.

Had the tyres squealing on the Hyundai! It certainly has a very mobile rear end, definitely not made for understeer.

It's where my business is, yes.

Honest opinion of the car. I thought it was fantastic on track as a standard car. Given that it had just about 800 miles on it and that I was not that familiar with it, the only issue I would say I had was that I had not realised the I had only turned the stability control down rather than fully...

I seem to remember it won the sighting laps!

Brilliant Clio turn out, thank you all. Glad you didn't set fire to it, had the potential to be a proper big bonfire! :grinning:. Things could always be a lot worse as well, you could own a Lotus!

I believe you started in front.
