Cheers guys! Yeah, we did it last year too, slightly different cars this year. It's just vinyl, the bonnet and roof are pretty easy to do as long as you use plenty of soapy water. The back is a right PITA, it looks a bit rubbish up close but good enough! Think I might leave them on this year for a bit, so they'll probably still be on for JAE. I hardly ever even read Pistonheads, let alone post there actually, but the other guys do and they had a spare sticker Still got the club URL and Dragonball sticker on though

That's what you get for posting after coming back from the pub! I meant Cayman of course...

Well we did have a few beers, but I'm sure I'd have noticed if we striped up a Bentley! Where did that come from? There was a guy last year with a Bentley that had gone nuts with stickers, he had a load of stuff on like "please overtake, limited to 155mph". We saw him driving up past Arnage playing land of hope and glory realy loud on his stereo, class... There's a Porsche Cayenne in the covoy, is that what you mean?

The finished article...

We've striped up all the cars ready for Le Mans this weekend, check it out:
-
What have you got/planning to get on the rear? You want them in balance, so you wouldn't want 245 front and 255 rear for example, more like 245 front 275 rear (that's what I have).
-
It makes no difference if it's a gift - the gift limit is only £30 or so anyway. The amount of import duty you get charged depends on what it is - most car parts are around 5% IIRC. So you get charged 5% of the value (including shipping), and then 17.5% VAT on top of that total. So you'd be looking at around £210, plus any handling fee the shipper decides to charge.

Gibson & Boyne, no question. They're in Southampton.
-
Doesn't sound too bad since a dyno session was included too, remember taking the stock turbos off and then effectively putting them back again is a big job.
-
There is no standard for wastegates. Why not just buy one of Arnout's manifolds?
-
This Saturday is our pre-Le Mans striping session / pissup. We're going for pretty much the same theme as last year, viper stripes
-
Just get one of Arnout's manifolds. That's a log-type the same as that one but cast.

He is correct in a way, the PFR doesn't maintain a fixed pressure though, it maintains a fixed pressure OVER the boost pressure. So a stock one will have the fuel pressure at 36psi at 0psi of boost and 46psi at 10psi of boost and so on. So the more boost you run the higher the fuel pressure. But that's not why you need a better pump, fuel pumps are rated to flow a certain amount of fuel (e.g. 255 litres per hour), and that's in ideal conditions at exactly the right pressure and voltage from the battery. If you go beyond what it can supply you're in trouble.

I've yet to hear of anyone that's managed to get those screws out without drilling them! They're a nightmare.
-
Doesn't that make an enormous mess when changing the filter? Not sure I'd be happy with it upside down.
-
Yeah, lots of people have. It's basically there for emissions, you can't have any petrol vapour venting to atmosphere. That's also why the petrol tank is kept under vacuum rather than positive pressure.
-
It doesn't purge back to the tank, it goes into the intake and through the engine. The VSV is on the intake side of the engine down by the rear somewhere. It's called the EVAP VSV according to the tech manual.
-
Actually it doesn't. It stores vapour until the ECU decides to purge it back into the intake, which it does via a VSV. It doesn't go to atmosphere, the pipe that goes to atmosphere it there to draw fresh air in when it purges, not the other way round. The pressure tank is only there to pressurise the VSVs that control the sequential operation.
-
I'm selling it because I now have an ultimate. Price wise, I reckon that lot would cost you around £350 new so I'd be looking for £200 or so I reckon.
-
You made it home without getting lost then? Some pics...
-
Go and buy a big breaker bar from Halfords. They do a couple, the bigger one will get just about anything off. Btw you shouldn't use a torque wrench to undo stuff like this, they're not designed for it and you'll break the mechanism.
-
Emanage blue. Full harness (injector, ignition and main harness). Clone cable for connecting up your laptop - this is a USB cable so you don't need a serial port. You can download the support tool software off the net. It doesn't come with the pressure sensor because I have a Profec E01 and use the sensor from that, so you may need the pressure sensor and harness - depends on what level of boost you run. Everything else you need is there.
-
Nowhere near there . Look from the drivers side and you'll see it on the side of the sump.
-
Yep! I've only seen three others I think, black cat has one of them.
-
Since it's a 6speed and has the Recaros, it could well be a RZ, in which case it will also have the big brakes and Bilstein suspension. It's pretty much the best model to have and pretty rare.
