Anyone have his email? Would you care to expand on how much it cost?

Guys, Does Arnout have a full kit developed/commercialized yet? If not does anyone (other than PHR) have a cast manifold kit in the market? Are the IM kits available anywhere now? Cheers Dan

On a serious note - good post Tony and good input Chris - I remember your original worskshop fire thread!! I have a full set of OEM O RIngs if anyoone wants the part numbers...

No comment.

I'm glad to hear the police actually do somethinig about people driving round with fog lights on. It really pisses me off when I see sidelights and foglights on at dusk - what's the point? (Ignoring the fact that doing this in a 3 series BMW is obviously so so cool!) Regarding the original point - I'd pay the fine and maybe write a letter about attitude etc if I really had nothing better to do.

How are things going with the dogs Rosie? I ask as I'm considering getting a ridgeback myself...How is he, is he well behaved? How is he with other dogs and children? Any chance of seeing some more pictures?

I wonder how the 4088R with the 0.81 would fare on a cast manifold......hmmmm

Nice pic!

Thanks Rob - money sent...

Fitting them is a piece of piss - it's ducting and sealing them properly that's the hard bit.

Look like they'll clear to me. You wanna pm me a paypal address Rob?

I'll take them if they clear the stock airbox. Any pics rob?

I run a straight cut box in one of my other machines and it is a seriously noisy bitch of a thing. Reason I use one is that more ratios are available and also was having some side thrust load issues eating bearings and thrust washers. Strength issue is a it of a red herring - it depends on the gear material - like for like material wise, a helical gear (the gear and teeth themselves) will be stronger as the load is spread over a larger tooth area - effectively more teeth are meshed. However the box as a package may well work out stronger as life is easier on thrust bearings in a straight cut box (as CW said).

Yes I would.

Very Cheap !!!

OK ....4th gear....say no more....2nd gear sounded unreal!

....

1.0 bar at 3800!!! That's tiny turbo territory! How are you achieving that in 2nd??? Is this is on a flat road accelarating normally? You're not doing anything like brake boosting to get that are you?

Above what sort of boost threshold - 4500rpm?

What happened to the old motor - why the failure?

I keep that for my SU dashpots on the real speed machine!

A guy I know of wrote his Seat Leon Cupra R off at Donnington - stright across the gravel like a skimming stone into the tyres and managed to move the concrete blocks behind after hitting at around 60-70mph!!

I've still got most of a 40gal drum of Toluene and 10gal of Xylene for those hot days in the summer when you need all you can get to tease the two wheeled brigade. Thanks Charlie I believe we talked about up to 20% Tol, 10% Xyl and a drop of 2 stroke oil for max performance from a homebrew setup. I've never ventured that extreme though to be honest - don't think I've been above 12% additives and that's with no 2 stroke oil added...
