Hi Guys, Ladies In Blatchat we talk a lot about Ford Rover Vauxhall, or Honda but not a lot about German engine, VW, or French. The 172 bhp fron Renault or the new GTI from Peugeot even the new 200bhp GTI by Vw are quite appealing on the paper, Did any body though about them when building a seven?

Don't go for the 45 but for 50, the speedo and drive will be much better, and don't go for Michelin Pilot they are not design for lightweight cars. Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

"Emerald don't yet have a VVC-ready ECU" Do we know how far there? Is it a question of a few month or years? I have a supercharged duratec in the pipeline 😬 so i can't wait to long. Do they need a guinea pig? I could volunteer for a big discount 😬 Jack Emily, The Very Yellow 21

Hello I've contacted Superchip regarding my VVC and the repply say i could gain up to 8bhp for a cost of £293.75. Will it be worth it? Did someone had a superchip fitted on a Kserie? Is it as good as they said? Jack

As maybe some of you knows I have a 21 with a VVC, 52mm tb and i have the feeling i'm running lean. It's just a feeling as i don't know how i would know if i was running lean. First question: How do i know if i'm running lean? Second question: How can i cure it? An FPR is probably the answer but it would be more of a bodge. ANy other Idea? Jack

I did the same a few weeks after geting MLE. It was a mess. The scoop was rubing against the tarmac until i've found a very helpful garage in Hemel who bend everything back in place. It wasn't on a parking ramp but on a pot hole :( when i was going very slowly hopefuly Jack

Regarding the coolant I use the Comma Stuff in it's undiluted form. Aryliam said this what i should use for my VVC so I use it! Jack

On motorway cruise, i have noticed something strange. As soon as i travel at 100mph my tempgauge goes sky high as soon as i slown down the temperature goes down again. Is this surge in temp could be due to a lack of fuel at highish RPM? or is to something totaly different?? Jack

Clive at Aryliam is very good as well, near Hemel in Sarrat, aryliam@easynet.co.uk Jack

When cornering i often get some vibration back trough the steering wheels. It always happen when i'm accelarating out of a corner or going in. Where can it come from? Am i reaching the limit of adherence of the tyres? Or do i have a problem somewhere else? The front bearing are new, fitted them in August Jack

Richard I would be very interested in the tech spec of your engine and the cost involved in it as well. I'll be in France end of October doing a round trip from Calais via Paris, Limoge, Anger, and Chatauroux (maybe not in this order). Would it be possible to have a view at your Seven "En chair et en os"? And maybe a little spin? Jack

Peter, I just print your posting and have a very careful read about it later on. The "220 bhp @ 4000 rpm" was just a figure explaining what i would like from my engine is low down power. I'm not interested in an engine which produces 250bhp @ 8000rpm. It will be useless to me as the only time I get to use those rpm is on circuit. And I’m not an aficionado of track days. I understand as well that a forced air system is for likely to be less reliable than a normally aspirated one, remember the Maserati Bi-turbo of the 80’s. From what I understand if I wish to pursue my supercharged investigation I need to turn to the duratec Jack
