Quoting keybaud: Your pressure regulator won't work properly, if one side isn't to atmospheric pressure. It doesn't know that you have pressurized both sides of the regulator, so can't maintain the correct pressure to the injectors. Yes it will because with a swirl pot you always have an atmospheric vent back into the fuel tank. Guy

Craig, why not come over one day/evening next week and I'll show you how I 'plumbed' mine, it's so simple or I could come over to you tomorrow if it's dry Guy.

Fit a swirl pot Guy

Simon - YHM Paul - that sounds ideal, how much do you want for it? Guy

Andy, thanks for looking Les, I'll pass thanks as my bonnet is usable but now has a crease in it after I left my car overnight in a public car park in Swansea last weekend. I know, I know only an idiot would leave a 7 in a public car park in Swansea overnight Looks like I am going to have to buy a new one Guy Edited by - Guy Lowe on 24 May 2014 08:24:13

Bit of a long shot this one, has anyone got an S3 X Flow bonnet they do not need, the 6 louvre panel re circulating heater type with cut out for carbs? Painted or unpainted with or without catches but must be undented and preferably within a reasonable distance of GU15 so I can collect. Guy

Hi Brian Yes I have a cast iron one, perfect condition, £15 collection from GU15 or + £10 for courier delivery (its heavy 😳). Guy

BTTT I'm sorry you can't make it Chris, should ha a great weekend. Guy

Why do people arrange a viewing then not turn up or let you know? BTTT Guy

GJT, no one is saying Geoff doesn't do a good job, all I was saying and Aves sums up rather well, is that Opie Oils do prat about with their pricing policies and the OP should be careful and shop around Guy Edited by - Guy Lowe on 11 Apr 2014 12:28:12

I bought some oil from Opie on eBay, it was cheaper than using the club discount Guy Edited by - Guy Lowe on 11 Apr 2014 11:46:02

Aurua or there is a Company next to the fencing supplies people in Brookwood that did my K&N filters. Guy

Quoting Merrick Linnett: Guy, The Max MSV numbers for an Evening event is a lowly 40. So plenty of Track Time. Merrick Thanks Merrick, I had read the thread about Chris's bad experience last August at Brands and didn't fancy any of the same. Now booked and really looking forward to it Guy

Merrick, what is the total number of places? LINK Guy

Looking at all your past "for sale" postings it would appear you a professional breaker?

I’m not so sure that this is not important, during a recent visit to REDLINE to discuss new rear shocks and springs I pointed out I had the ‘brace less’ type frame, apparently they were only fitted to De Dion cars for about a year around 1990. John explained it to me like this, under acceleration the De Dion tube trys to twist/rotate and the ‘A’ frame prevents/minimises this, however without the brace bar when the trailing bars are pushed forward they bend outwards allowing the DD tube to twist and putting stress on the chassis points and bushes. Apparently if you could hold one whilst accelerating you would be able to feel it bending. I’m not sure about “torque seen by the back axle is after the gearbox so only 1st gear causes problem" etc. torque is torque so if you increase the power/torque of your engine the ‘problem’ must get worse. My car started life as a 135bhp (optimistic) Supersprint, it’s now a 200bhp+ ZETEC. Anyhow I hold Mick & John of REDLINE in high regard so I decided to take their advice and do it! It was a very simple and inexpensive job, I used a metre of 19mm O.D. seamless steel tube, two new bushes, powder coating and a friendly welder (no we didn't braze it), I cut the tube to length, John said it should be fitted as near the bushes as possible, I filed the ends of the tube to suit the profile of the existing tubes then, with plenty of spark shields, tacked the new tube in place, removed the frame from the car and finished the welding on a flat bench. Re powder coated it and pressed in new bushes. I have posted some pictures HERE Guy

Quoting andy_h: Front wheel drive! If I were to guess I'd gone with mx5. That would be the choice of the other member of the Tony & Guy duo 😬 Quoting andy_h: What so good about the Civic? The engine Still for sale, wife now VERYunhappy GUy

Sorry Elie that's not what I am after. Guy

Elie I think I may have got this wrong , it's the one with a cap and the top hose take off that fits on the front of the Raceline Zetec water rail I am after. I think it's was originally an X Flow part. Edited by - Guy Lowe on 16 Mar 2014 09:42:51

Great I'll take it please Elie, I have sent an email to your Telenet account. Guy

Hi Elie, is the Zetec T/Stat housing the type without the fan switch? Guy
