got one in SS8 post code if you don't get any better offers

I did see the S5 was announced when I started researching it. That also means S4's will be even cheaper too

He needs all the help he can get Steve

38 is plenty big enough, the flat spot off idle is a mc tb trait but can be mapped out. Check out posts by fatbaldbloke, Ian. Or find his website. What ecu do you have ?

I plan on doing snetterton, assuming the car lasts that long :-)

Freshly uploaded today - this might help? http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/files/file/73-westfield-world-march-april-2003-pdf/ Pages 23-24 specifically - no offence intended at the article title, but a good read and could assist, can't hurt to read it!

A day should sort it, but you can do a lot of prep work ahead of time, bit by bit, and make the job go faster (drain fluids, remove rad and hoses, etc.) Make sure you get in everything you need ahead of time as well - new fluids and filters specifically. Also, after you're done, don't forget to tell DVLA and your insurance company about the new engine number!

Well that's some good news at least. To be fair, on track, with so much going on, gauges are often near useless. It's why on many, many heavily track used cars, you'll see a really, and I do mean really, bright LED or conventional lamp, right in your line of site. I've seen brake lights used before now! Mounted on top of the scuttle, right in front of you. I used something a little more restrained when I built mine, though just as piercingly bright. I got an LED panel lamp from RS, about the size of a ten pence piece in diameter, mounted vertically on a metal plate, between the scuttle top and aeroscreen, right in front of me.

Without sounding too controversial, how are people judging the oil when they say "been every happy with it", "pleased with the results" etc? Without side-by-side tests on equal engines which are dismantled afterwards, how can we as drivers rate the performance of an oil? Surely all the indications are internal, or am I missing something? Are we best off listening to the manufacturers and the engine builders like QED, SBD etc. who get to see the internals of used engines regularly?
