Yeah I did, thats how I have always embedded a youtube video - [ media] copy and paste URL [ / media] Is that not how it is done?

Smeeeeeeagol.

Haha I remember the EXACT same thing about Mr Trillo on MSN.

S3 or a TT. If you want proper OEM+ f**k Seamons' car, it's all about Sam Bryant. Tuffty's S3 is a lesson in understated performance too. The airbox mod - You'd never believe it was a 430bhp car.

The standard airbox can be modified to perfectly cover a Jetex but still give gains

Oxford, Watford and Stanstead if continuing on the M25. Also joins M4 West (Reading/Slough etc) or can link to M4 north east for London Heathrow but only terminals 1,2 and 3.

Not working for me either. Hasn't been for ages. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXvtnBtBYfA And I am doing it the same way I have for the last 6 years

Rainbird was going to have my Jetex and shield if he wanted it. I swear Bill did say something like that? I am going to try again for the video but on my tablet. See if it works... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXvtnBtBYfA No. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXvtnBtBYfA

I can prove on an airflow basis that the filter has added about 4g/s, what that will relate to in power I do not know. Using the old rule of g/s of airflow/0.8 it would mean 5bhp. Whilst that 5bhp might mean f**k all to peak power because the airflow is obviously measured as the RPM rises and the airflow increases. It's all very confusing, and it's making me think twice about what I've been relying on to gauge my cars performance. It's within 1 or 2% though. Bill from Badger 5 noted on a test he did that whilst g/s of airflow at the MAF is directly relatable to power when divided by 0.8 he did have issues using filters with a velocity stack and that in his test a filter and velocity stack which logged lower airflow by 1g/s gave 2bhp more than the second most powerful filter which didn't have a velocity stack and gave the second highest airflow. In short, a velocity stack can potentially trick a MAF due to the air on the outside of the sensor body traveling faster and being denser than the air in the center of the MAF which is accurately readable. Here's a quick video I just took after deleting my PCV system from the intake pipe, and moving around my dump valve again. (to annoy Seamons) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXvtnBtBYfA So my PCV system is now totally deleted from the intake pipe, and is venting into the engine bay. I'll run it down the back soon. Why won't youtube embed?! RARGHHH

Smupdate. New filter. Milltek, with an inch out of the centre section. Road Angel. I have scored a great deal on a new product which will hopefully push a K03s even further Super size SFS turbo intake pipe, which has shown 4/5bhp over a nornal silicon intake pipe and roughly 11 bhp on an OEM pipe. I can't wait for it to turn up

Alex actually LOOKS Polish.

Nick and I look like Seb Vett. img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00829/Sebastian_Vettel_829444a.jpg

A gay model.

"Stage" tuning is just an basic way of defining the levels of tune. A stage 1 for instance is a generic map designed to work on vehicles with basic modifications. Like an air filter but otherwise a standard car. Stage 2 is the designed for a car with a more specific set of modifications which will have a large effect on the cars ability to perform. So a filter and a dump valve, a larger turbo intake pipe, a downpipe and a front mount intercooler for instance. Tuning companies pick the most popular bolt on modifications and write maps to suit. Stage 2 tuning is slowly going out of the window as more and more tuners are writing their own maps and tuning on a more custom level. The mods there are for a 1.8t, but it is the same principle for most cars.

To tell the truth my car has no stage, the map that is on it is custom. The old one which I was talking about however was very much stage 2.

The clutch isn't fine if the car doesn't stall in third. No other way of putting it I am sorry to say. You can take it to extremes and slip the clutch like f**k to pull away as you were, but that isn't the test. To do it properly you need to engage the clutch as you would a normal first gear pull away. That test is something which is done by our Ford Mastertech guys at work ans was taught to them by Ford, and is something my dad (ex head apprentice trainer at Mercedes Benz world at Brooklands) has done for 30 years, because it is quite rare for Mercs to be manual it is quite common for tech's to not know how to test a clutch. I was taught it in level 3 NVQ Motor Vehicle Tech, and as I say I do it every day when appraising part exchanges. Try it the way I have said without trying to slip the clutch. You should get a different result. Prawn and I take the biscuit on mileage, stage 2 A3's with 450,000 between them and a 60% power increase over standard. Both our cars had never had the head off them in over 210k.

Yup clutch slip. Put it in third, hold the revs at 3.5k and gently let the clutch all the way out. If the car stalls your clutch is fine, if it slips its f**ked. Industry standard test which I do probably 5 times a day appraising part exchanges.

I like your car

Your Audi is a big estate car that isn't idolised the world over for being one of the best handling cars of all time. You haven't taken something great and made it shit. You've done the opposite. Post away.

Those Hondas are so stupid. And this is coming from somebody who has 4 years worth of Hot Version videos. I LOVE Hondas. I really really do, I think they are heroic cars with SO much potential. But people who post this whole hipster scene thing up and are proud of the fact that their cars set off alarms, and that they are "in your face", and people stare as they scrape down the road REALLY annoy me. It is just attention seeking. For me this is the dream Civic - www.civictyper.org/images/ek9.jpg You jump in it, go find a B road and exploit that beautiful chassis and engine to its fullest extent. Knowing you can drive it on the total limit and still be kind of safe, because it has a decent suspension setup, an engine that will sit in the red all day and a responsive chassis. Then every other day of the week you can jump in it and roll to work and back only drawing the attention of true petrol heads who admire your awesome choice of vehicle. Not this - www.stateofstance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/hardparked_eg_sos_3.jpg Which is a wanker to drive anywhere, and just sits there looking a bit wonky and attracting attention to itself wherever you drive it. Whilst being unsafe and only admired by other kids with silly cars. I do get it; I understand why people like this sort of thing because I used to be the same with VW's. But I guess I have grown out of it.

What is that?! @weird raped cat sounding Honda.

Scuffed bumper, scuffed and dented wing, smashed mirror. snapped inner wheel arch and a scuff on the wheel. Not a clue how it happened, parked up at about half 5 after work and it was perfect. Went to the cinema with a friend and came back at 1, went out to it in the morning and went to drive it forward to my gate so I could wash it and the inner wheel arch pulled out and scuffed where it was all bent in. That was the first I knew. Didn't really take any pictures of it, because I needed to get to the scrappy by 12 to fix it. I used an arch roller to pull it back straight, there's a crease on the back of the wing still but this is the basics after straightening it out - The outer lip was bent in, so using a scaffolding pole as a pikey arch roller I pulled it straight. And the wheel, but a fairly poop picture -

Today Phil and I fitted a meth kit, chopped an inch out of my exhaust and fitted a dogbone mount to his A3. I wired in the Road Angel that Pierre gave me, Oh, and the other day somebody crashed into my car outside my house hence the PMT.
