  1. If Nigel's not interested in your brackets Mad Hatter, I am because one of the nuts on the drivers side on mine has striped threads! Let me know if you want to get rid of them cheers Andy I am Leg End...
  2. These are photos of my car with Steve's ABS carbon effect doors fitted: ABS half doors fitted with RiF aero ABS half doors outside close-up view Inside view showing elbow room Leading edge bent to fit inside scuttle I cut, bent and shaped them to fit very much like the MOG ones (that I couldn't afford ). I was pretty happy with the result I am Leg End... Edited by - Andy Whittle on 4 Feb 2010 19:53:56 Edited by - Andy Whittle on 4 Feb 2010 19:56:19

  5. Hi Anthony, I've never a had problem with mine...that's cursed it then (Murry Walker style) 😬 The system is programmed to arm after 30 seconds, there is a delay function that will arm it after 5 mins but you have to follow the procedure every time It's in the manual which is on its way to you (I hope). cheers Andy I am Leg End...

  10. Mapping optimises the power output of the engine by adjusting the fueling and ignition timing at various "load points" and RPMs. Basically it means you don't use too much (rich) or too little (lean) fuel to achieve maximum power and/or torque. If you run lean you will get "pinking" under load which can destroy your piston lands or melt holes in your pistons at high revs. If you are running VERY rich you can get bore wash where all the lubrication gets removed from the rings, also you emissions will be very poor. Both of these can reduce the power output of your car. Turbo cars are often set up to be rich at high rpm because the excess fuel is used to "cool" the cylinders keeping the exhaust gases lower and thus helping to produce more power without damaging the engine. If you change something major on your engine like new throttle bodies, new design exhaust primaries, fuel pressure regulator, injectors or high power fuel pump you can get you ECU re-mapped to take advantage of the new performance parts.

    Probably a 967 (black casing) like my 1.9K R300. It will look like this MBE 967 ECU EasyMap software is available from here too... I am Leg End...
  12. Hi Roy, You might find this info on the website interesting: Decibel (loudness) Comparison Charts I am Leg End...
  13. Another tip picked up from a BlatChatter I put a sock over the ends of each stanchion so that they don't scratch the bodywork when you lift the windscreen off and then slide it back on again later I am Leg End...
  14. My speedo started to do this and bounce around; it turned out to be the sender unit on the gearbox. I am Leg End...
  15. Good news Roy Enjoy the power...safely I am Leg End...
  16. Paul, I had the same problem when I fitted mine recently. The mirror is a perfect fit in the aeroscreen dip My solution was to fit the mirror on a little plinth; Centre mirror on a plinth The plinth is actually a plastic bun foot used for furniture, I think I got them in B&Q for a set of bookshelves. I can now see the cycle wing through the gap that is created. cheers Andy I am Leg End...
  17. Hi Jack, mine returns back to the thermostat housing; so I believe that 2 is correct. This connection wasn't disturbed when the PRRT was fitted, it was left connected but the thermostat housing was opened to remove the [failed] thermostat and replace with the restricting washer. I hope that helps Andy I am Leg End...
  18. Is the gimp suit in mohair too? I am Leg End...
  19. Hi Roy, my humble opinion is... This looks like a good example of an early R500. The mileage shouldn't be an issue because all the maintenance provides reassurance that the car has been looked after, after all it's only done about 3K miles per year and has had a recent engine and gearbox refresh. It has a lot of road going options, it was obviously not bought as an R500 race car! If I was looking for a high performance Seven I would look at this one and hopefully you be able to take it for a test drive (or test ride). It could be worth seeing if somebody with a lot of Seven experience could come with you to take a look I am Leg End...
  20. Cheers millsn, I got your email. I'm requesting on behalf another 7 owner for his HPC, I'll contact him and let him know. I'm sure I'll get an answer quickish! cheers Andy I am Leg End...

  23. Don't forgot that RiF (Carbon Bits) also sells a good range of mirrors and fittings, including stanchion mounts, at pretty reasonable prices. Rif Mirror Selection I am Leg End... Edited by - Andy Whittle on 2 May 2009 09:18:13
