In fairness, the ZZRs are aimed primarily at lighter cars, like Caterhams etc. It's a miracle they bother to make any 18"s at all!

As in the PIN isn't accepted? Or the screen isn't responding?

Usage I'm less concerned about, 2L and not even to the max mark on the dipstick shows the engine has been run far too low on oil. Now you're showing high oil usage, so I'd certainly be looking at getting a leakdown test done. Please tell me you told the dealer the oil was too low as soon as you discovered it after picking it up?

If those levels are true, then your engine is pretty much goosed I'm afraid. You're going to need to drop the oil to find out exactly how much is in there really.

Those designed-in crackles sound awful and cheap Looks much sharper though than the current one, beautiful colour too.

Not feeling the blue stripes, looks very Ripspeed.

All the cool kids run JR wheels

Out of those, I'd pick the JR11 as well.

Jeez, I can't imagine what it's like just concentrating on your back for a workout. Mine was a bit squiffy after a herniated disc op a few years back so I try to avoid straining it if possible. How often are you hitting the gym these days?

They're just a broker, be interesting to see who your actual policy is with when it comes through.

Week 2 gone, 5lb down this week. Not squeezing into my work jeans quite as much now 6 weeks to go!

Assuming RE050As (as per OEM) and 453s, then I'd say there's something seriously wrong there. No way in hell the 453 have better wet grip than the 050As.

Much better Who with?

Fascinating stuff, thanks guys and sorry to Scobie for butchering his thread

Ah, fixed orifice, gotcha. So what happens in that system if you don't have a regulator? Pressure is determined by the fuel pump alone, I assume? Well, along with the natural restriction present in the pipework itself.

I was thinking £4K too, tops.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Also, this is why Post Preview was invented.

Okay, that makes a bit more sense now. I assumed the excess was dumped back to the tank, which is why I was getting a bit confused. I assume the regulator isn't put before the injectors simply so you don't end up in a situation where you get a massive need for fuel and the regulator can't open quickly enough to supply it. Perfect, thank you!

Easiest way is to simply measure the arch itself. Bolt the wheel on as-is, and measure the gap from the edge of the rim to the arch. Work out where you want the edge of the wheel to sit, and then that's the size of the spacer you want.

Great, thanks mate However, I struggle to see how that would work efficiently. The regulator is only ever seeing the pressure post-injector usage, which will by nature be a lower pressure than pre-injector. Actually, where does the return go back to? That may be the obvious thing I'm missing. Not arguing the toss, just genuinely trying to expand my knowledge

In a tintop car, I'd be happy enough wearing a bike lid. In a softtop, I'd only ever wear a car helmet. Not saying that's right (it's definitely not!), but that's my own personal risk assessment. The most important thing is that it fits properly and comfortably, and then as long as it meets the various standards then it'll be fine regardless of cost.

Okay, so after reading Tricky's post it would seem I'm in the wrong here, which makes sense as I said I know chuff all! Tricky, why is it placed on the return? That just seems counter-productive to me.

No reason you can't fit it on the return, but it would be much, much harder to control the pressure/flow that way: All you're doing is adjusting the pressure as it returns back to the tank, after it's jizzed a load of fuel out of the injectors. It will have an effect before the injectors, but more luck than judgement. Anything to do with controlling flow should be placed on the flow before any take offs.
