coming from the uk i'm guessing you would remember the last time it was 40 degrees celsius. because it must be an everyday occurence.

Maybe then people will take what you have to say more seriously.

danny, you are having a go, dont say youre not. i'm having a go because tinex boy obviously wasnt very well educated over there in the wonderful lands of mother country.

tinex - air temperature isnt as big as youve made it out to be. volume of air is far more important, along with air velocity. thats why non-intercooled turbocharged motors still make more power than n/a vehicles, considering that the charged intake temperatures are well over 80-100 degrees.

so that extra 2 kw's that your hole in the bonnet gained is going to allow you to nail that golf GTi in a straight line? all that cold air is just wonderful isnt it? where are you coming from? oh thats right. read previous comments.

so im guessing your motor is air cooled as opposed to using a radiator? especially on those 40 degree days....

Mines lowered with 16s... and i have the front mudguards.... They are quite low (lower then 10cm if im not wrong). I have only ever scraped them everytime i go to a particular car park, where the speed hump is like 9cm tall and only about 9cm wide..... meaning the rear tyres do not go up before the fronts come down. But the benefit of not getting stone chips etc is well worth it

after much thought.. i dont think the stock injectors would be maxed out with mild mods on a fiesta.. so i dont think there would be need to change injectors.

why did you do it? if im wrong please correct me and fill us all in..

also how did you go about adapting a computer from a different engine onto the fiesta 1.6? :S

Haha, we are the Kids yea? I did not understand a word of what you just said! Most of it is spelt incorrectly with the wrong use of punctuation marks.

[in case you don't understand what i just wrote, ill translate it]

"Haha we kids ye what say you? Punctation use now"

BS. man i was actually very curious to know about the injectors and comp.

i have absolutely no idea how the heck he could have got it to work but im very interested to know.
also with injectors, i dont think the standard injectors would be pushed passed their limit with basic mods, so i dont know why there would be a need to upgrade. but its very possible that i am wrong, its just that i havent heard of anyone in the uk upgrading injectors with only basic mods like airfilter etc etc.
i think there are people with full exhaust systems (inlcuding manifold) and good quality induction kits and they havent touched the comp or injectors.
but maybe tinex knows better, id love some insight into why he upgraded the comp and injectors, i wasnt being mean or sarcastic in my posts about it.

Please tinex, fill us in a little bit
