Stephen also has all the engine mods i want! emerald, verniers, custom map ect.. but i am in the process of upgrading my 7 with R500 roller barrel throttle bodies, ECU, Verniers, custom map ect, i have been told i should expect a true 200+bhp at the end which will be good, oh btw Beck's weighs a tad more than 3 packs of fags 3 bags of spuds maybe lol... ;)

Did you notice when i came back for you i tried to do a 180... big ass FAIL i forgot i had new tyres on the rear i nearly shot into the ditch :lol: yeah i do like that country lane it's a real flowing lane with some nice catch you out bits, i did try to rememebr to slow down at the bridges, i was not sure if you knew that road and the last time we ventured down there a 7 put a hole in his sump, you can get some serious air off them ;)

I cant tell if your being serious or not with the nice comment about my 7 lol, either way ill take it as nice one :) Cheers mate :) Did you like the girls talking in the cafe.. "so what one would you have, i like the green one" :mrgreen:

James there is a guy on Locostbuilders that tried the R500 roller barrel throttle bodies and has taken them off as he couldn't get the car to idle correctly or run smoothly.

Just thought I'd let you know.

James......'twas a genuine comment.
As you know i'm a numpty round things mechanical, but aside from that article that Neil refers to i've read on another forum somewhere about folks suffering with issues on tickover/idling....can't recall where but it wasnt on locost...
