Re: What is the point?
The main culprits will be the Volvo engined Fords like the RS Focus. It's basically turbo chatter and bleed from the wastegate. It's made 10x worse if anti lag is fitted. Then you'll get 20ft flames on overrun too. Noisy kin things.

Re: Now I have heard it all....
Aww how sweet. Just goes to show how emotional a car can make you and the connections they can make in our lives. My 1st trip in a Capri is a strong memory for me. It wass 1978 and our next door neighbour bought an ex Demo, yellow 2.0GL Mk2 Capri and was proudly wiping it down on the Sarurday he go...

Re: Millers Oil VSPe Batch Date or Expiry Date ?
Just saying... If you upgrade your cylinder head to a Vulcan Stage 3 head, you will no longer be required to use any additive, therefore saving money in the .... very long future

Re: Unregistered 280
It probably couldn't be registered now anyway - it would have to pass BIVA and it would probably fail badly due to not being built to todays standards of safety. Good point!!

Re: Lowering pictures....
Looks great Nick - 145lb are just right for fast road. 190's are a little too stiff for my liking on a road car.

Re: Classic Ford - Santa Pod 2018
It's all good Nick - I'm having a self imposed sabatical. I can't decide whether I want an almost new RHD Mustang or an earlier Fox Body or SN95/Cobra in LHD flavour. I am so undecided I've given myself a good 1-2 years to make the decision whilst I finish the odds n sods off at SmokeEm Towers for ...

Re: Classic Ford - Santa Pod 2018
Thanks for the pictures Nick - nice to see a few of my Friends cars pictured also. Makes me jealous of stuff I've had but sold on
Still, glad you had a great day. B112 looking great as always.

Re: Wedding Day Pictures
One small but great tip for those of you running a std laser on std brakes - Upgrade your Pads to Ferodo D2500 - Easily as good as a princess 4pot upgrade and a better pedal feel IMHO - all for £70odd - Available from Burtons. (Deffo better than EBC IMHO) Dave I might give these a go mate. Cant see...
