It's just the speed it carries, you stand no chance keeping up in the corners and then you're miles behind on the straights too.

Fitted some gay blue ignition leads yesterday as the original, 9 year old renault ones kept popping off the engine and causing an intermittent misfire which could only be solved by removing the inlet manifold to plug them back on, which as you'd expect, was irritating as fuck. Looks super chav now

Mrs went today, total waste of time, track was so frosty that they basically just did sighting laps behind the course car all morning.

She's back home now but I'm considering not bothering tomorrow as it'll be exactly the same.

Got hold of a phase 1 172 airbox to try out, the car currently has a borrowed k&n typhoon kit as the standard airbox is too deep to fit with the oil cooler pipes.

MOT time this week too!

I have a phase 1 V6 airbox on mine at the moment, not much different to the standard air box to be honest

Is it suitable to use as a replacement for a normal battery?

It's got a higher cranking output so hopefully should be ok.

I researched these loads when I was looking for space for that old catch-can I had.

Came to read that most people with them used tricklechargers overnight.

Most people say that with the smaller ones, the Powervamp '22' size but this is a little bigger and everyone reckons it's fine unless it's mega cold.

We'll see! If it doesn't work, I'll put the old one back on and find an alternative induction solution.
