Is there anyone in the Aberdeen / Shire area with an S1 Exige who'd be willing to let me take a look around it and ideally take me out for a run? I know there's at least one as I've seen it at the V8 Breakfast. I'd preferably like the car to be running a K but will take what I can get. There's at le...

Building a K 160 Sport engine to beat a Honda...

His Arse ? :) Hey, lets keep it civil or you know how it will go. I'm genuinely interested as the figures seem so assured and precise. I'd have expected "in the region of" or "around about", not an exact figure. Software simulation so for instance you programme in cam, plenum shape volume, valve si...

Where do the bhp and torque predictions come from? Simulation software, your head? His Arse ? :) Hey, lets keep it civil or you know how it will go. I'm genuinely interested as the figures seem so assured and precise. I'd have expected "in the region of" or "around about", not an exact figure.

Re: acess to petrol pump

Haha, yes, took cover off, had a look, there is a wire on it. Checked the write up - butcher car, or drop petrol tank ... (without guarantee of solving problem) I've decided a working petrol gauge is yet another optional extra on an S1 elise... Tbh, they are quite vague anyway. What is the tank ran...

Re: Tool Request - Valve Spring Compressor

Thanks guys. I obviously have no preference to who's I borrow.

So for convenience sake, who's closest? I live in Peterculter and work at Shell Altens.

Does anybody have one in the Aberdeen area I can borrow? I have a head I'd like to strip down.
