Not when stuck in traffic, IC's are useless then.

Depends if they have fans blowing onto them or not

i would'nt really call the disco potato a "t28" though its in completly a different league in power terms to whats stuffed on a sr20det

It uses a T3 compressor and a t25 style exhaust housing.

Thats all a T28 is.

I remember when I posted mine up with the Dimma kit and they were saying "take the spoiler off" yea ok, i'll take the spoiler off a 5k kit because BMW boy doesn't like it.

That is THE first time i have laughed out loud at anything i've read on Forums

Its all personal taste though one thing is that the cops wont have a hard job finding you.

Yes, I am aware of what a chargecooler/intercooler is meant to do.

I don't see if the "celica gt4 one is absolute crap" when the fensport celica used to run big power with one.

and the fensport celica was driven daily on long drives on the uk roads ?or just for 20-30 min runs at a time.
or are you talking about the fensport celica that is basically a 200mph 10 sec 1/4 mile drag car ?
the one that was built as a race car, that swapped to a supra fmic once they wanted bigger power?it ran around 400bhp with the stock charge cooler btw.
obviously they had issues with it hence the swap.

why would that be an issue do you have to hide from the cops regularly or something?

Didn't realise you were on these forums too...

too many valver owners here!

penski · 6 Jul 2007 at 18:59

One thing I have never understood is why Clio owners feel the need to refer to their car as 'valvers'...

It is as if owning a car with four valves per cylinder is a novelty...

I think he means being noticed is not always a good thing.

I guess it makes most sense because the official name was the "Clio 16 Valve", so valver being a nickname seems suitable. However i know all the 16v corsa's astra's e.t.c like to call themselves that, however they are just copying the clio

Also makes them feel a bit special about not having a Williams.

It seems incredibly contrived.

MrMatteh · 6 Jul 2007 at 21:12

you're saying renault specifically called it that so that a few years later is owners would call it a 'valver'?

Sparky · 6 Jul 2007 at 21:13

The Astra was being called that when Renault were still making the Ren 5 how are they now copying the clio?

Mr Gimp · 6 Jul 2007 at 21:24

I've noticed Peugeot forums referring to cars with 16v lumps as valvers as opposed to the 8v, always wondered why.

I'm not a fan of the colour personally, white and with a set of Comp Mo's on there would lok loads better IMO. Should be a hoot to drive when finished though
