crashbanggg Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 My clutch has started to slip when sticking my toe down how much longer (if I drive a little more sensibly) would I expect to it last for? Or is that a 'how long is a piece of string' kinda question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Bits have started arriving! Cat back, Sports Cat, Decat and Manifold are here! Either the TIP or brake bits are at the post office. I'm guessing brake bits as they were from demon tweaks rather than Bill at B5. I wonder if the TIP has even been posted yet? Either way. YAY Does anyone want pics? CBA to take them now, but if someone wants to see, let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that a 'how long is a piece of string' kinda question? Depends why it's slipping. Generally though if it's down to wear/abuse and you drive accordingly you'll get 6 months or more out of it.

AdamR28 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Millers Nano stuff is good to be fair Edit: Just found this, interesting... http://www.fastcar.co.uk/2012/08/28/millers-nanodrive-test/ (I currently use Halfords fully synth 5w40, haha - it was on offer at £10 for 4 litres)And another: http://rennlist.com/forums/racing-and-drivers-education-forum/736356-power-w-multiple-dyno-charts-and-durability-improvement-from-millers-nanodrive.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't believe the fastcar results especially because i was half way down the page at work before i noticed the boobies on the right hand side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Finally got around to ordering up the last few FMIC bits I need. DP/Decat arrived (cheers, Dann) Car badly needs a day or two of paint correction and seats need a heavy duty clean. Would love to just pull them out and throw in a set of R32s but they're silly money. Those bargain buckets would also be semi-tempting, but would then have to rip out the rears to fit harnesses and that's not on the cards unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Scare monger They'll be great from cold on Ashs car I reckon. The heavier stuff doesn't seem to need any warm up time, odd, but seemingly true. Tuffty has 1.11s on his 600bhp S3 and they're savage straight from cold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 after seeing my friends E46 330CI (facelift) I am starting to spare money for that car today. Probably will take me 3 years, as I will going uni from September, and 3rd year is paid industrial placement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Oooh, what's the plan? To build an MX-5 for under £1000 that can contest some more expensive supercars, probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Haha, pretty much. It will already do that as it is but want to take it a bit further! Loose plan... Strip the hell out of it (reckon I can shed ~150kg), cut the windscreen off, DIY build a roll cage, fit some 13" wheels and used slicks, GRP seats, harnesses, service it, fill it with decent fluids and then spank the shit out of it No engine mods at all.
