Sorry bud went last night

SOLD Mods please can you lock this thread

Our small turbos come from China some of our competitors have similar performance but not great build quality. Usually find comp covers break due to the material spec not being sufficient to handle the compressor outlet temperature at higher boost and mass flow

Define reasonable

Yes, feel free to pop over at any time!

I think we have a spare decal here, I'll check tonight and drop you a PM. If not, I will get one ordered for you.

Cheers bud you guys there tomorrow?

Looking good pal, need to pop over aint seen you guys for ages.

Can I have a massive white ID workz sticker for my rear window?

Jesus somethings up there, who you been contacting for insurance?

As everyone says, just insure it as what it is. If you shunt it or anyone else you aren't covered which isn't fair on everyone else on the road.

I am 29 now and owned most performance jap cars so I like most if not all of the owners on here have been through the ordeal of extortionate costs of insurance.

If you want a performance varient or performance car you have to suck it up and accept the running costs that come with them.

I insured mine first at the age of 20 and it wasnt that bad.

Mine is registered as a Glanza though and could be within your budget let me know if it appeals.

Check my for sale thread out. I am only in Huddersfield

Top example this, known of Wallace for years on here and TGTT. Car is a testament to its owner.

I did Motorsport Technology at Oxford Brookes, its a cracking uni tbh because a lot of race teams, not just F1 based are located in and around Oxfordshire. The courses here are actually put together by those in the F1 industry hence why a lot of Brookes graduates end up in F1.

You do really need to ask the question in what you want to do though, engine building and chassis tuning like you mentioned you will not cover. The aim of uni is to allow you to design, so you need to be good with maths and physics, as well as having a good imagination when it comes to creating components from a blank piece of paper.

Do NOT go to uni with the intention of being able to tune and modify because that is completely wrong (at Brookes anyway I found). You come to be able to design something from nothing but an idea or 12 and select the least worst one to take forward.

I agree with Seab, if there's one thing I regret it's doing a so called "Motorsport" degree, I wish I would have done Mechanical as it is much more diverse.

Best advice I can offer is look at the university's syllabus and decide if it takes your fancy, if it does then go to an open day, check out the facilities, staff and other students. Everyone here gets on very well with each other we are like one big team and you have the chance to get involved with Formula Student right from the first year, I believe we have had the best UK team for the last few years and have set a number of records and our cars cost around £3500 to build so if you want to know how to build cheap unlike other uni's which have massive budgets then Brookes will be good

Think Adam has hit the nail on the head. Engineering courses teach you to meet targets from scratch, its not really about taking an engine and extracting more ponies from it. It is more about what is required to design that engine to meet those power/emissions/reliability targets.

I think from my HND a good course should have a good mix of lecture and hands on the workshop (being machine shop, or gettings hands on with race cars measuring geometry etc).

I forgot about formula student, thats a great way of getting involved in motorsport whilst being guided, wish I had done it.

I really want to do the race engine design MSc at Oxford Brookes

Try getting hold of students from your chosen uni who have graduated and gone onto good careers see how they did it. Alot of industry is who you know, as well as what you know.

The maths involved can be a real PITA, as like yourself I do not have an A level in maths and I have just started my MSc so I am struggling a little so I would ensure you work on that in the background to keep yourself ahead of the game.

Everyone I know who works in motorsport loves it but it comes with very long hours, and unless you're in a top team very little job security you're a contractor whose contract is renewed every year.

I want to work in F1 aerodynamics next but, I know a chap who left our place to do it and the working terms and conditions weren't great.

I love to tinker too and attend motorsport so best bet is get a cool engineering day job and leave your evenings and weekends free to volunteer at race teams or build your own toy :-)

Thats odd as I have dealt with him and he was fine.
