    Favourite Racing Car When Growing Up?

    One more..... Ferrari 412 T1 V12 from 1994 (3.5L) Video: The T2 from 1995 (3.0L) sounded too tinny for my liking compared with the previous years T1, although I know a lot of people do like it.

    Did you just get the STI mounts off of Ebay mate? Might take a look tonight as the TRD ones seem quite expensive.

    I know, there is a slight wear mark on the steering column on the left hand side of the overpipe so it looks like I will just have to swap to the stock before Japfest 2. The stock one has a slight indent in it any way to allow for extra clearance. Might have to upgrade the engine mounts too perhaps to stop flex????????

    Seen a couple of people at lunchtime today and they said I will have to change the overpipe to give me the room I need. Will probs go back to stock overpipe until I get a custom one made. It's the least effective part of the exhaust system any way. It appears under the heavier load now it is just flexing the pipe too much.

    Loving it Steve. Had an issue this morning though. When the overpipe is getting hot and flexing a bit, it appears to be rubbing on the steering column above the front subframe. The turbo manifold is obviously a bit different to my UEL I had on, and I think the slight positioning change has led to the overpipe sitting slightly differently. Fine when cold, but when hot and after being put through some load, I get quite a loud vibration/knocking coming through into the cabin and It gets worse as I turn the steering wheel. Checked the bash plate under the car and there is enough clearance underneath the turbo manifold, so it can't be rubbing against that, so it must be the overpipe. Mine is wrapped in titanium heat wrap too which makes it a little bit wider than the stock one, so I am guessing the tight fit has contributed to it. Doesn't pose any problem to the car, but is hugely annoying so will be getting it sorted ASAP.

    Can't beat the monster and his Escudo/Vitara Pikes Peak cars Jordan!

    Took my first couple of victims over the past week. A 12 plate Leon Cupra R was up my bum leading on to a dual carriageway near my house, 2nd gear pull from 30 upwards through to 4th and I pulled on him consistently. With my custom map boost is now building from 2800-3000 onwards easily now, it is so much better. Then the other day, a Revo tuned silver Octavia VRS on an 07 was taken off the lights up to 4th gear. Started off behind him, then as we hit the top of 2nd/start of 3rd I pulled out into the lane next to us and made inroads as we got into 4th.The guy driving and passenger pulled up alongside me at the next roundabout and asked why the thing went like shit off a shovel.. all I did was raise my eyebrows and I said... boost... and rolled the window up and they just laughed! Can't wait until the engine is forged and I can start pushing it further. Brakes and tyres are next though and will be done within the next 1-2 months. Saving hard at the moment

    DashCommand Skin Requests

    Thanks for updating the racing skin Steve, nice not having those pesky logos on there anymore!

    Wow top responses guys! Only just caught up with the thread today after a very busy weekend! Another one of my favourites - 935 K3! One of the meanest cars ever made in my opinion!

    Have you got any pictures of it Nige? What engine did you use in the replica?

    Hmm okay then, will attempt to do that this evening then. The full name of that dashboard is: Citroen Racing with NEW TRACK BUTTON. Let me know what you can do mate

    Mansell would have definitely won the 86 and the 87 championships with Williams had he had a bit more luck!

    Thank you Steve I'd like to not stare at Citroen logos all day! What I will do is have a look and then give you the exact name, where do I buy the extended PID pack and how much is it?
  20. Welcome to the club Nick, lovely to see another Essex member here, we definitely need to arrange a local meet now with so many of us

    Loved the D2 livery on those! Just a shame that the CLR's for 1999 ended up taking off

    Because this dashboard gives me the most information on 1 screen Steve. The other dashboards I have downloaded that don't have the RPM and speed on the main screen, still don't give me the AFR's, intake temps, boost psi or coolant temps on 1 screen. This is the best one I have found so far that only doesn't include oil temps. I will continue to search through dashcommand, but this one so far gives the most info on 1 screen, it just also happens to have the rpm and speed on there too. If anyone can point me in the direction of one that does, I would really appreciate it however

    I just like to have everything on 1 screen so I can see everything in real time, rather than to have to keep scrolling! The best compromise I have found is a Citroen Racing Dashboard (I know... disgraceful) which has a "track" screen which shows a lot of the info I need: The only thing missing on that screen is oil temp. If fuel flow was replaced with that, it would be perfect for me!
