Nice one Sam, been meaning to read through your RR for a while. Cant quite make it out in the pic (not a surpise :p) but did you put any restraint or anything on the cone to stop if flapping about and knackering your MAF? Or is it kinda wedged in under the catch can pipes? I keep wanting a jetex but not quite sure if i want the sound yet.

Ah right. Half of me wants the sound - half of me doesnt (I like to be a bit stealth and not too much of a cliche sometimes. Sometimes :)). I'm still got the BMC that I bought the car with and got some logs recently and its only pulling 190 odd g/s which is low compared to what I've seen an open cone.

that's a rough 237 bhp stage I'm guessing?? Seems a tad low IMHO get a cone on there see what I pulls then? ;)

thats fooking big!

forget 'stretch'... 'Its all about the squeeze' ;)
yup proper tight just fits without squashing it :D lol shame there's no room for cold air :cry:

Yeah I know - when I got it the chap said there was a map on it but had no docs so i thought he was just BSing it, and not totally convinced that my AMD RR graph is accurate, but just the funds mate - just spent on getting cruise control, and now need to get 2 tyres, tax, full service and insurance in the next couple of months. I knew I should have spread it out a bit more :doh:

Rite update time :)

Had rick from here come and fit a new cam chain tensioner as mine was fooked :( started at about 4:15 finished about 6 I think maybe later not to sure tbh lol but got it done all new gaskets new plugs new tensioner cleaned the rocker cover and inlet manni up a bit :) cars now running really sweet had a slight issue take the inlet cam out but got there in the end :D well rick did ;) lol so hoping I'll ve back on the road in a week or so

Also found that two plugs were a bit loose and had some carbon build up cleaned it up fitted sone new ones and I'm hoping I was loose power down to this :D but think it's probably wishful thinking lol
