    Massive CO level jump from last years MOT now @ 8.04%!!!

    A high CO reading is the direct result of either excessive fuel or insufficient air. Assuming the air intake isn't blocked or restricted in any way it's probably safe to assume the problem is too much fuel. You should be able to pass the non cat emissions test by reducing the fuel pressure at...

    Hullavington 17th May

    Was a good day even though the car only lasted 29 miles. Drove her till she died, went out with a big cloud of steam and a black flag for dumping the cooling system out down the back straight :) - Burn out, don't fade away lol Amasingly, in true Toyota style, I filled her back up with water...

    TGTT forum is dead on my side?

    Personally I wouldn't like to see it restricted to paid members only. I take the view that it's a 2 way street, paid members will also benefit from seeing what non paid members are doing with their cars, so preventing non paid members from sharing is taking something away from the members that...

    TGTT forum is dead on my side?

    Totally agree with the 'Members Garage', it's lack of forum integration really defeats the object of that section completely. Having said that, I'm not so sure how easy it would be to port the content back over to a regular forum with threads and posts?! Organising some show meets is...

    Locking rings

    Will MeisterR locking rings fit BC Racing coilovers? If so, what would be the cost of a full set of rings?

    X Fest @ Santa Pod

    Not sure what the deal was, but they were alternating between bikes and cars approx every half hour. I stayed for the best part of 4 hours, was either on the strip or sat in the fire up lane and managed 3 runs. Had a quick look at the car earlier, don't think its popped a hg, but may have done...

    X Fest @ Santa Pod

    I'll definitely be up there again soon, we'll have to organise a bit better next time. Need the car sorted for a trackday on the 17th so it should be in a better condition for the next one.

    X Fest @ Santa Pod

    Was good meeting you buddy :) Shame my day wasn't so successful, but then I wasn't expecting much. Pulled a 15.4 on the first run which involved a 1.3bar boost spike in 3rd gear followed by fuel cut and, as you know, a few flames out the exhaust :haha:. Next run was a 16.4 but something...

    Didn't make it yesterday, but should be heading off in the next hour to make up for it. :)

    X Fest @ Santa Pod

    Just off to do some last minute repairs, assuming I have some success I'll be heading up. It appears that everyone going from my end has dropped out, so will probably be heading up on my own.

    X Fest @ Santa Pod

    Aiming to get up there just after mid day on the Saturday, not sure if the car is going to hold out. I'm waiting on a new radiator before I flush the cooling system and try to identify where it's losing coolant. If I can't sort it I might just trailer queen it and see how long it lasts. Could do...

    Upgrading brakes.

    ZZE123 Corolla calipers and carriers with Vauxhall Meriva Turbo discs seems to work rather well.

    Hullavington 17th May

    Booked up at Hullavington on Friday 17th May for some open pit action, was wondering if anyone else might be going along?

    X Fest @ Santa Pod

    Anyone heading up to Santa Pod on Sat 4th May? Strip is open 'til 9pm, so assuming I've fixed my broken car I'll be there pretending I have some idea of what I'm doing. http://www.xfest.co.uk/index.php
