  1. there may be other reasons why it may make sense to develop a billet MAF housing, which could accommodate alternative forms of additives....... currently on v3.0 and pretty close
  2. in any induction setup what you are trying to create is laminar flow, for which their is three elements, viscosity, velocity and geometry, the two we can influence are velocity and geometry, the easiest to address over standard is geometry, the standard item has a resonator box which is there to tune the induction sound, it will however create turbulence, this sounds bad, but the diameter of the induction hose will have been specced to allow allow for this loss anyway, next point velocity, we can increase velocity by having a free'er flowing filter, again the standard system will have been specced for the total air requirement the engine needs, if the standard filter wasn't up to the job it would suck the inaction hose flat, which it doesn't. so in summary you are not going to make any gains from an aftermarket induction setup, in modern day cars the induction setup is incredibly well thought out. So why bother"upgrading" and I use the term upgrading loosely, as mentioned before there will be little to none performance benefits, but what you can gain is sound, which for me is what a big V8 is all about, when you look at any performance car they try to balance the sound of the exhaust with the sound of induction, I have a noisy exhaust, so I want a noisy induction, which is why I am developing my own induction setup, which will include a smooth radius silicon elbow like Dans
  3. you are gonna struggle to get front wheels with good concavity in standard size, you either need to go wider or a lower offset
  4. what bits have you bought?
  5. what am I doing wrong? I have protected no claims for god knows how many years, have 3 points on my license, I am 38 years old and my insurance is north of £1k a year!
  6. you will be miles into the effective thread length with these, it is nit a concern!!
  7. also @NorthernDan For the front there are three options: 2 piece bolted £575 2 piece floating £725 2 piece floating with our performance disc £895 (has better internal cooling for track day users, disc quality still the same so ideal for road and track but not really needed most fast road guys unless cost is not a consideration ) For the rear: 2 piece bolted inc internal handbrake drum £575 You can have curved, straight or J hook grooves. Bell colour can be black or grey with blue , gold or silver options. If more than two sets were ordered at once id give 10% off.
  8. sorry whats at the airfield? just a cafe?
  9. I would gladly pay £10 to know that I can arrive there and have a parking spot, you can pay in advance btw I will be sticking to the original plan
  10. Hi All Have just heard back from C&M they have a themed weekend on this weekend and it will require all visitors to pay an entry fee, which will be available to book in advance, this should be going live in the next day or two, keep an eye on their insta or FB page, I will of course update on here when they are available
  11. ok thats 4, plus me, Flytvr and Cezar that I have already spoke with, so 7 in total, I think 8 is the max they will let you pre-book, so will go with that
  12. please let me know asap if you are coming, I am trying to arrange advanced parking slots
