Took the Plunge..

Does it sound different ?

[Beagler]

Yes, exhaust more throaty but significant induction noise.. No plans for installing a radio. 🤣🤣

I believe longer trumpets, aka velocity stacks, give more torque at higher RPM, whereas shorter ones move that lower down the rev range. 

'pretty sure its the other way round....

I had my K series mapped by Troy earlier this year. I went equipped with a selection of lengths of parallel pipe in 25mm increments and 3d printed bellmouths so that we could swap rapidly. Each increase in length improved mid range torque, and moved peak torque further down the rev range. My final ram pipes are 175mm long (any longer we started to loose peak power)

Will meet Troy soon, will ask him.

That's very interesting.  Strictly speaking, this 310S is no longer a 310S due to the non-standard modifications (that's not to say the car has not been significantly improved, however).   Now, whether that means the actual market value of the car has been diminished, who can say?  Personally, I'd like to think the value has increased.

In the word of a well known poster,

Drivel. 

If Caterham are happy and rebadge it . I am happy. 

[DerekH]

Probably should be re-badged a 360S?

Please PM me if you don't want to say on here but what was the cost?

Would be better to contact Northampton Motorsport for a quote as specs and prices change.

Oh!  Was that directed at me?

Some may say, I couldn't possibly comment.

What on earth does that mean?  You posted the word "drivel".  It wasn't 100% clear who that was directed at, so I asked you whether it was directed at me.  So, was it or wasn't it?  That's a simple enough question, surely?

Well, that's certainly not me, as I've never used the term " Drivel" on BC (other than in quoting you). 

So, I take it you have no quarrel with my comment "Strictly speaking, this 310S is no longer a 310S due to the non-standard modifications..."?

It was done by Premiere Power.
Immobiliser wouldn’t deactivate after lunch at a track day.

 

[Beagler]

Thanks Toddler.

The electrical guy that came to sort it said that the feed for the new ECU was linked to the immobiliser. He tried disconnecting ECU to see if it would reinstate immobiliser. It didn't.

The LED on the dash glows faintly but the immobiliser doesn't work. No bad earth,  he checked. . The car starts and runs okay without the fob. Well they will take the car and assure me it will be sorted.

What is the point of insulting a polite and knowlegeable member of the club?

Consider that you haven't covered yourself in glory with some of your own posts.

I agree calling me a Sanctimonious Prig was unnecessary.

“Now, now, Mr Beagler, please calm down. As I recall, this topic has come up before.  I earnestly hope you're not one, but is it really your intention to portray yourself as a sanctimonious prig?”

Well, of course, I did no such thing. 

If you re-read carefully what I actually wrote, you will see that I was in fact alerting you to the possibility that your previous post might just be capable of being contrued that way by anyone.

I could say Mr Vine you are in danger of becoming pompous and self opinionated who delights in controversy. 

….. but

[SLR No.77]

Please can we keep this civil, the vast majority of us aren’t interested in petty squabbles.

The moderating group are desperate to try to avoid getting involved in issues like this but you’re not making it easy!

Stu.

[Beagler]

Please be assured I will always reply civilly to civil responses.

"...you are in danger of becoming pompous and self opinionated who delights in controversy."

Oh, the irony...

Now Now. What did SL R No. 77 say

[Shortshift]

"Now Now. What did SL R No. 77 say"

Is that a question?

Whatever Stuart wrote, I think it's clear to everyone who has read or posted in this thread (well, possibly everybody - but with one exception?) who he was directing his comments to.

BlatChat is mostly such a nice, friendly, non-confrontational place these days.  Long may it remain so.
