I've got 3 sets floating around and I'm pretty sure none of them have the chevrons on them.

Had a chance to get the eyebrows off yet Jezzie?

I'm almost motivated enough to start thinking about maybe doing some work on the car soon :)

I saw a few at Japfest at Castle Coombe a few years ago, fantastic cars! There was a red one, like in the pic, going round the track that nothing could keep up with. Gawd knows what he had done to it, but it was a monster. The one I really wanted that I saw there was the rally version. Can't find th...

They're not that expensive from the stealership. Mine cost me about a tenner I think.

Re: diesel engine

I've had a couple of 205 TDs, great little cars. I had big plans for my first one - 1.8TD engine with intercooler, adjustable wastegate, auto bonnet with vent for i/c, GTi front brakes, bilstein dampers etc etc. Got some of it done, but then had a slight incident with a tree... Anyways, from what I ...

No worries mate, that sounds about right to me anyway. I've been thinking about getting the straight link pipe from Cituning, but am concerned it may be a bit too loud, so this might be a better option. But money is tight at the moment, so I'll have to leave it for now anyways, and maybe come back t...

Hmmm that's very tempting, especially if it goes well with the Sebring backbox. Will have to check the finances first though.

Yep the eyebrow thingies were the one's I was after.

Jezzie is sorting me out with some, although if Vanny have some red one's that might be easier (will save me respraying). And Jezzie could keep his with the bumper and send them to Marx....?

Interesting graphs - you can clearly see the extra breathing ability the extra 8 valves give to the engine! And to me it looks like the 16v is a pretty well designed engine. The 8v is a good engine IMHO and the 16v manages to more or less match it to 4.5krpm and then takes off. Whats the difference ...

I just pushed it back up in, and it's held for the 60 mile round trip home. Only done a few hundred miles since then but haven't had any problems. But I've left all the steering column covers off so I can have another look when I get chance (the list of jobs is getting bigger and bigger). I had the ...

It'd be interesting to see the power/torque curves for each engine, as it's the shape of the curves that really matters.

Damn you, I've always lusted after the Goodwood :) One day.... Well it's an engine designed for power, in the sense that it was built to power the flagship models (BX 16v, 405 Mi16, 309 GTi 16v), and if you want power from a n/a petrol then you have to make it rev. Hence the 160bhp @ 6.5krpm! Unfort...
