Re: Northants meet

Just realised I never replied to some of the PMs that I got back about this...sorry! :oops:

Spread the word, fellow Northanters, spread the word! Perhaps someone could post about the meet on the OC too?

Re: Podington :) January 21st

With sufficient traction there's plenty more to come. I was saying to Nod about how few people were bothering to light up their tyres prior to launch, and as he said, the startline crew weren't overly keen on throwing the wet stuff down on the back of the lanes. Spud did an interesting twist to his...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] AVC R Install Pics

Got my avc-r today, think im just gonna fit mine in the ashtray. Easy to get to there and still get to keep the interior lights haha. Cheers again Tim! :thumleft: That was the dilemma when I bought my AVC-R. but I thought that a lot of the ashtray installs looked a bit untidy. The pod is great - ev...

Be great to see what spudfromengland runs, considering what Patrick was saying about his car yesterday... :thumleft:

[Mk2] [NA] BEAMs engine injector size

Does anyone know what the standard injector size is for the BEAMs engine?

I'm going to be setting up my mate's HKS CAMP system tomorrow on his BEAMs MR2, so need the injector size for the fuel calculations, etc.

At a guess, does 440 sound too high?

Re: jae 2007

Billing was a superb venue but it got too crowded :( I thought 2006 at EoE was better orgnised than 2005 though, so hopefully the improvements will continue this year :) Crowded? I would've said 'cosy' instead! :D Interesting comment about the organisation, too, as at EoE it seems too organised and...

Yeah...JAE is THE event for the car clubs. There's always a good atmosphere there, but the old venue (Billing Aquadrome) was better IMO.

Re: Northants meet

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] MR2 V8 conversion

What? Come on guys - you're telling me you've never heard about the secret Ferrari-developed 3SGTE? Less than 1 degree angle for the V, and four of the cylinders are 'virtual'. :clown:

Northants meet

About six months ago I moved to the Northants area, and have noticed that there haven't been any IMOC meets so far, so thought it was about time we addressed the issue! I've PM'd everyone on here who listed their location as being Northamptonshire (or thereabouts!), and have had a pretty good respon...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] removing rev 2 spoiler marks?

I had a similar issue when I took the standard Rev 3 spoiler off, and tried everything to no avail.

Then bought some Autoglym Paint Renovator from Halfords and it came up a treat with a bit of elbow grease.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Phoenix Power

From what Patrick (Rogue) told me when I bought the car, it's the whole shooting match. I can only really compare it to the standard gearbox I had in my last tubby (a Rev 2), and to be brutally honest I can't tell a great deal of difference! Probably the gear changes might be more 'precise' (for wan...
