on a road car you might have issues with driveability but for competition use its very important to reduce flywheel and engine mass as much as possible , in lower gears if you reduce flywheel mass by something like 3kgs thats the equivalent of removing 100 kgs of the weight of the car ,this obviousl...

Best kept secret in motorsport is the mintex F4 pad compound , very very loud but if you can handle that they never give up, they will wear the discs but no where as bad as performance friction 85 compound and the likes

given that it was my home club organising i thought i had better support the club and enter the rally car class ,also taking the opportunity to let my mechanic double enter . sat morning in the wet was great fun and i ended up fastest after the first practise ( those big single seaters arent very cl...

My experience lies with the F20 engine (s2000) which is a very similar beast, if you are getting a bespoke manifold made ask the guy to replicate hondas dimensions closely, (when i got mine it was 20hp down because of a 'super duper' manifold that actually reduced power !!), mappable Vtec really hel...

you need to buy some aftermarket adjustable dampers ( so you can soften the damping) also fitted with threaded platforms so you can jack the car up slightly ( so the car doesnt bottom out beacause of the soft damping) All of the above will probably destroy any good handling the car had and turn it i...

its begging the question , why did you buy an exige? its really not the car for posing round city centres in , much more at home on open A/B roads or on track
by the sound of it you would be better off with a chelsea tractor for the potholes

Just washed it? sounds like water down the plug lead holes, if the screws holding down the plastic cam cover arent sealed water can seep down, take it all to bits ,plugs out and clean and dry everything then spray with wd40 or another waterdispersant and it should be ok

First thing to do is make sure the pressure gauge is accurate most are several psi out, thats not an issue if you use the same gauge all the time and just use the numbers/readings as a reference point to go up and down from, test different pressures and find what suits your driving style

wheels arounds price will include fitting and balancing plus he will look after your wheels unlike some of the fitters out there, also included is a wealth of experience FOC

Ive got 2 ex MOD top boxes made by the firm BOTT who also make all those fancy fitted interiors for vans, anyway they are 15" tall 14" deep and 25.5" long and as they are ex mod they are a trendy olive green, they have a top tool area which has a two piece hinged fold over lid front to cover the top...

Rain + my Elise = no problem......... http://gallery.seloc.org/albums/userpics/35156/car_678.jpg S2 engine cover keeps the pesky water ooot! :D Thats what i thought too until you will find otherwise if you leave it out in rain for any length of time, those nice countersunk screw holes will fill wit...

you will find the plugs covered in water, take them out , dry everything , if you think you havenbt got all the water out after you have removed the plugs crank the engine without the plugs in , that will get it all out , spray the plug leads/coils liberally with wd 40 and put it back together. When...
