Of course, yeah, the old 710N upgrade, that'll do it

Need to do this myself now as my inlet tract is getting a bit oily, what with it breathing to compressor inlet all the time

That's a good shout by James to send them off for flow testing and cleaning if you can be without the car for a bit. I've always made a habit of putting a bottle of injector cleaner through once every 10k or so and it seems to have kept them performing well but if this hasn't been done regularly the...

Re: Track days by Rachel » Wed May 10, 2017 5:41 pm Very interested Ade, pretty flexible on dates too. What's involved?? Never done a track day before. I'm sorry my first post wasn't very informative and rather brusque, I had written a much better one but because I'd been doing it on and off betwee...

So, first of all I must apologise for my ignorance of the N/A engines :lol: http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b432/asummerfield222/IMG_1586_zpsphmmjfq9.jpg Don't ask me why I have this but here is a fuel rail and injectors for a B20F. My assumption that the injector layout would be the same on the...

I've got some injector seals for you, pm me your address and I'll pop them in the post. There are 8 in total, one at either end of each injector but you'll find it's the 4 on the bottom (in the head) that will be fubar'd so I'll send you 4, the ones to the rail should be fine and if they weren't you...

All breakfast is good, limited or not

May well see you there

This one's not far from me, might add another 480 to proceedings

I might swing by for a bit, I'll be in Birmingham on the day anyway, Kidderminster's not far

So are we feeling 480 turbos on track together then? :) What about you Jeff? Bedford's a good idea actually, I've driven it before but not in a 480, in an MX5, it's a good track and if you're (understandably) worried about crashing the precious 480, there's not a lot to hit at bedford if you run out...

What's the date for the Kidderminster one Sylvia? Please Weekend?

Here's some more pics of the day to add to the gallery :D http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b432/asummerfield222/IMG_1583_zpshqtlmyz8.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b432/asummerfield222/IMG_1582_zps0cptwx5q.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/b432/asummerfield222/IMG_1581_zpscmdmxis8....

It was a good day, soooo cool seeing all those 480's together :D Noticed the convoy got lots of attention out on the road! Rachel's turbo is definitely one of the sexiest 480's I've ever come across, with you on that Martin, the paint is so suave, liked the 3 green GT's too though. I liked all of th...

Mmmmm... Shiny

There'll be a fee for admittance if you're not in a 480 though :rofl: Mine had some lovin' today in preparation for showing it off tomorrow. Gave it a service and cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Also washed it :eek: AND cleaned out the inside :eek: :eek: I was going to polish it but thought better ...

Your a bit thorough Or did it fall off during cleaning.... :lol: Mine's gonna jump out of it's proverbial skin when I show it a sponge and a vacuum in the same day :rofl: It's normally covered in a healthy layer of road grime on the outside and the cockpit ankle deep with various shit and fag ash a...

Now that would be cool, having a couple of 480 turbos on track together. I'll let you know about the next one, I'd like to do another one before this season's over. Rockingham's not a million miles from you is it?

Should be good this.... What could be better than, to coin David's excellent term, a squadron of 480's :hopping: They are just the best :D Sorry about the pooch Rachel, shame to have a shadow cast on what would otherwise have been a fun and carefree day. I'm changing oil too, it's due a service, hav...

It was, lots of fun :D If I do another at some point, I'll post up the date and details when I book it in case anyone has the balls and the faith in their 480 to join :lol: Probably be Rockingham again, it's a good track and the evening sessions are reasonably priced. 480 turbo + racetrack = :wave: ...
