It's £4734 inc VAT for just the supercharger at the moment (within the last week).

I just want to say a big thanks to @Lucas@PartBox for providing an extremely effiecent service on a recent order, including discount code and arranging delivery of the parts directly to me. Thank you very much.

I got them for ATS Euromaster, however that was when they had money off Yokohama tyres and 10% fitting, so got an exceptionally good price. They are cheaper on Camskill now.

That's interesting and not something I was aware of, have you got any more technical details on this? I don't disagree with this, however they've developed a base tune, that works with their package. However not everyone is using the full Cosworth package, therefore it's no longer going to be producing the exact figures as Cosworth's development engine. I'd personally rather have a custom tune for my engine.

Here are a couple of the reasons: Design: a. I don't like the throttle body position on the Cosworth. b. The Cosworth in-take pipe looks cheap and I've seen several people have issues (not with the in-take pipe) and have to remove it, its then a pain to refit. c. You need to cut a small section out of the bonnet for the Cosworth in-take pipe to fit, at the back by the throttle body. d. The Harrop is a one piece design whereby they have made the intake manifold and supercharger housing as one. On the Cosworth system they have basically bought the Supercharger and bolted a intake manifold on top (I appreciate it's not quite that simple). e. The Harrop has a lower profile due to its design. f. The Harrop doesn't require a coolant bottle and the intercooler pump is hidden. Performance: a. The Harrop uses the TVS1320, which has been proven to produce over 400HP on our platform. I'm sorry Cosworth you haven't shown us any actual dyno graphs showing 380HP (not that I can remember seeing). If I end up going built motor I'll want the capability to run atleast 400HP. b. To increase the power on the Harrop you simply buy a smaller pulley, there are 95mm to 65mm options. With the Cosworth you need to mess about with crank pulleys etc. Cooling: The Cosworth wins on this front, but the differences are only marginal and there are a couple of options available to improve this on the Harrop. I've seen both system run on track at the same time and and perform flawlessly, so I know they are both efficient in this regard. Tuning: There is no difference is tuning, sure you have all the development done by Cosworth to develop a safe map but Matt (Cosworth) has only got the same tuning platform (Ecutek) to work with as Adrian (Fensport), Mark (Abbey) & Mike (TD) and Adrian & Mark have acknowledged that they've worked with Matt to develop various maps for different cars. Cost: They both work out to be about the same at the moment. That's all I can think of at the moment, please bare in mind that these are my opinion, I'm sure some won't agree but they are the deciders for me. I'll also say, I was booked in to have a Cosworth SC fitted at one stage, but changed my mind because at the time I didn't want to spend the money.

Update 27/08/19 - Bedford Trackday Another trackday at Bedford, this was pretty much the same as the one on the 22nd July, with 30°c heat. I was trying to find a good tyre pressure balance to limit the amount of sliding after an extended period. It felt like I only really got one good sessions at about 3:30 in the afternoon, when everyone had left and the track was basically empty (driving standards were abit hit and miss during the day). Still I was impressed with how the tyres held up and the amount of grip they provide. I was concerned when looking for a more track focused tyre that it might over tyre the car, for my level of driving. However after a couple of days I'm now happy with the balance and control provided by the tyre. It's definitely a good purchase for someone looking for a dual duty tyre with a more track focused bias. In general driving they a comfortable, quiet and I've had no issues driving in the rain with them. Unfortunately the day wasn't completely without issue, when going for fuel during the lunch break I noticed the car sounded alot louder than normal, on returning back to the circuit and checking the car over I found that the exhaust had cracked and was blowing quite badly 😟 knowing that I still had the afternoon and another trackday two days later, I decided to just carry on (more later). Here's a couple of photo's from the trackday: (I didn't kill the cone, honest)

Update - 22/07/19 - Bedford Autodrome testing the AD08RS I finally got to test out the all new Yokohama AD08RS tyres at Bedford Autodrome, I fitted them to the car a week before the trackday. They are noticeably more grippy than the Michelin PS4 and surprising a lot quiter. Also the car feels alot lighter, this however could be down the lighter 949 Racing wheels as it's been a while since I last used them. On track the tyres have lots of grip (you can hear me LOL at the grip in the video) with a good balance and durability seems very good considering the tempature was a relatively hot 30°c. They did start to slide a bit after about 5 laps, which meant coming in to the pits and lowing the tire pressues, which helped. I was running them at 30psi hot. Here's a couple of pit lane photo's and a onboard video:

I was speaking to a trader a couple of weeks ago about a number of things, including supercharging. He then informed me that Cosworth only have 8 supercharger kits left available in the UK. When I go FI it'll most likely be the Harrop (there are a number of reasons why I prefer it over the Cosworth), for those that are interested your are looking at just under £6k fully fitted and mapped (including new engine oil) for the Harrop from Abbey.

Hi Everyone Here are my photo's from Japfest Donington on Saturday 13th July. (For those not on the Facebook group) I think I got everyone's car, if I missed you out sorry. Thanks for looking Will

Some people will try and sell them at shows, however it's very rare. I'd just keep an eye on the forum and see if any come up for sale.

@MartinT, Speak to @Mark Gillam (Abbey Motorsport)

I generally run them at around 30PSI when hot on track. I will also check the pressure every couple of sessions.

Hello Everyone I'm looking to sell my Bronze Japan Racing JR29 wheels in size 17x8 +35, with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. This is a really good looking set of wheels, which I've owned for approximately 14months. All 4 wheels are available and the tyres have between 4mm & 5mm of tread left, pictured below. All of the wheels have some form of stone chip or mark on them, one of them has a 1cm kerb mark. Unfortunately the paint finish is extremely thin so they chip incredibly easily. Wheel size: 17 x 8 +35 5x100 Tyre size: 225/45/17 94W Price: £500 cash on collection from Lichfield, Staffordshire. Thanks for looking Here are some pictures:

Both myself & @Deacon have no issue's on the speed bumps by us, some of them are monsters. However the important thing to note is, we aren't super low. The main thing to watch with the splitter is curbs. I scrapped mine once, when trying to get into a tight spot. However the splitter is such a high quality item that it hardly damaged it (and the fact I stopped immediately). I'd be more concerned about it pulling the bumper/crash bar (with race upgrade) than actually damaging the splitter.

Also, not sure if it's worth mentioning but there are different verisons of the splitter for 12-16 and 17onw.

^ That's a good price with the suspension covers.

Looking good @Stutopia, the rear calipers look really good. You need to get some coilovers and 10mm wheel spacers now.

Hi Everyone I'm selling my brand new Verus Engineering slanted bonnet louver kit in black, with optional rain guard kit. I ordered the kit along side my Verus splitter and diffuser, however I'm not 100% sure I want to fit it and I'd rather it go to someone who is willing to use it. Louver kit is located in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Price: £300 collected - will post for an extra £20 Thanks for looking Some stock photos & photos of the sealed items:

SOLD!

I've not got that specific one, but I've got a couple of Microfiber Madness mitts / pads that I highly rate: https://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/wash/shampoos-buckets-mitts?manufacturer=Microfiber+Madness Also their dry me crazy XL drying towel is awesome, better than the wash mits.
