Ah right, it's not even stock no more mate...CT9 hybrid built by Liam at Midland Turbos. I suppose I'm definitely going to need better cooling then... Really want it pal but I've had an offer accepted on a house since we spoke about it and my missis aint letting me spend any money on car parts! Another reason I'm using hose pipe! if you can do anything with the price on a one time offer then hit me up with a PM buddy, I'll see what I can do. Like I said, I can collect with cash on collection.

Yeah I get that heat rises and it soaks into the intercooler. My concern is that my hotpipe goes directly up and over my ramhorn manifold. As a result, the air being accelerated from the turbo into the intercooler is going to be warmer than with the stock arrangement. Would that be an issue? Or will the intercooler cooling will be sufficient enough to cool it down enough before the air enters the engine?

Yeah I'm going to do that. I also won't be using a hose pipe, that was just short term to draft up one length I need and so I can move it around lol.

Good evening people, So i spend this weekend fitting my hybrid turbo, manifold and downpipe. I'm having to run my intercooler hotpipe like 1.5 inch away from manifold with it having ramhorn geometry. Is this bad for the engine? I'm assuming it will effect performance?? Thanks

2 month ban and a couple hundred quid fine!? fakin hell, your laughing. They'd have definitely thrown the book at me and locked me up behind bars, 100%. Its cus you got blonde hair n blue eyes n the establishment are fukin nazis. haha ;)

Thanks Callum! Been offered some without rails.. Was wondering if I could adapt my Glanza rails to the GT seats...

Aup dudes, Hope all is well. Can anyone tell me if Glanza EP91 rails can bolt up to GT EP82 seats? Thanks

Aup mate, do these recline back and forth for rear seat entry?

@Calum122 It is a lot more complicated like you say but that is the broken down version of what I understand of it. It becomes harder to mine when more people jump on the bandwagon and squash the verification. Haha I like your imagination.. Have you seen the movie 'Pi' (1998) ?

You'd be surprised mate. You can't cause inflation with decentralized currencies. You can't create debt out of thin air (interest) with decentralized money. You can't print more of the stuff when it runs out. In-fact, I reckon centralized currency will fall much sooner than decentralized currency. Look at how much the bitcoin has accelerated in value compared to pound sterling? is it because the value of bitcoin has gone up or because the value of centralized currencies have gone down? The more money your country prints, the less valuable and stable your money becomes. With cryptocurrencies (w

The Blockchain itself doesn't calculate anything. The Blockchain is the data of all previous transactions. i.e for Ethereum, all the blockchain data you will download will be for smart contracts. It's your GPU that does the calculating. The GPU accounts for and verifies all the previous transactions/data in the 'blockchain'.

Unfortunately it's no longer backed by Gold. We are now living in a time where our money is backed by petroleum. In 1933, President Richard Nixon announces that US will no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value. Therefore abandoning the gold standard. During The Great Depression (1929-1939), most countries were forced to remove the gold standard from their currencies; including UK, in 1931. You'd think this would be common knowledge but it's one of those things they want to erase from history...

lool funny comparison still. I'm sorry dude, I don't know how else to explain it. Hope it makes slightly more sense then before anyway.

I'm only using a GTX1060 6GB card and that gives me a hash rate of 20. Doing a little guinea pig experiment before invest in bigger build. The readon graphics cards are better value for hash rate and you can install multiple cards onto many motherboards to increase that. Yes exactly William mate, you need to calculate the power consumption as it's consumes a lot of electricity and basically subtract this from your mining profits. Okay well to answer your question; A Blockchain is a FULL PUBLIC RECORD of ALL TRANSACTIONS for that particular cryptocurrency. The Blockchain can be v

I get your point but the actual calculations are not shady or fake. They're legitimate calculations that continue the blockchain and when your graphics card solves the problem, the next block is created and you earn a little bit more cryptocurrency. This is called hash rate. All graphics cards have a certain benchmark hash rate and this determines how well your PC will be able to mine. So generally speaking, I understand why you'd think ''well how is it legitimate when it's just solving a problem to a formula ect''... In actual fact, when a problem is solved, not only is a

yup and Monero. I'm going to be mining Ethereum shortly (maybe today). It's a ball ache downloading all block chains and setting up unless you have a good SSD drive. For those who don't know, Monero will be a fully encrypted currency and Ethereum will be for smart contracts. It's not worth mining unless you have a pretty good GPU and SSD drive. It's a decentralized currency. The transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded by an immutable public distributed ledger. This is called a Blockchain. There is a set fixed amount released into the public domain which can be div

Hey dude, DIY is not stupid at all, its clever and your saving money. Just keep practicing and remain persistent. From pictures, it looks like one of the cylinders has been steam cleaned like LukEP says... is there any fracturing or any tell signs of hydrolock? From the original story, I would try to recover some costs from your 'friend' who borrowed the car, especially if you made it clear to him that the head gaskets on its way out and to keep eye on temperature. I would have probably gone with a new engine to begin with but everything you've done so far is good practice s

haha got a 4efte in one car, do I really need another one Chops lad!? If you want to draft up the mounts, and put the engine in, I'll consider it ;) haha I'm thinking supercharged ZC..... Definitely going to be doing a Motul race car rep when it's set up!

Thanks for the kind words Bluebear, it's not really one for looks at the minute, Got a set off Aleycats collecting dust in the shed that need to go on and will probably drop it like 30-50mm, then it will start to look more presentable. Yes buddy, I'm favoring tthe ZC conversion atm and maybe supercharge?? Have thought about B series but engine but the extra 50kg may be too heavy and hinder handling dynamics. The actual design and ergonomics of the car are brilliant. Rear seats recline like a Maybach and it also has pop out windows. Parcel shelf has a locking in mechanism with two flaps on eith

Micky Boy has one for sale, message him

Didn't think of that mate, I think your right. Wouldn't want it's arse poking out the bottom clipping every f**'in speed bump!

haha I know bud, thanks for the thumbs up still Thanks pal..Funnily enough, the b18 is about 5-10kg heavier than the b16 and the b20 and then you got the k20 which weighs about the same as a B engine, so if you were going b series, you may aswel just go k20 (it fits too). And then you have the ZC engine which is about 45-50 kg less than all of them! Whichever route I go down, I think I'm going to be supercharging...

awesomee haha lets get your starlet sorted then, you found any coileys for it yet?

Honda only used a 1600cc ZC1 in that Civic Motul race car and they somehow squeezed 215bhp out of it. In 1987 Japan Touring Car Championship, not only did it win all 6 races in its own division 1, but it overtook all the cars in division 2 and occasionally some cars in division 3 which cars that had much bigger engines! In-fact, in 2 of the races, it overtook BMW 635csi twice to come 2nd overall in all 3 divisions! Probably the reason why BMW had to build M635csi to redeem themselves a little haha. I think I'll be heading in a similar direction to build something as close as possible to the Mo

EF's are cool. About 3-400kg heavier but massively more aerodynamic!
