it's still out there stu, but you have to look harder to find it as there are far more mags around now catering for specialist areas.

and you know how it is with modern cars now better than most. the basic engine designs are often so good that any tuning to be done is with the management, and not everyone can do that.

but yes, i enjoy reading that kind of thing, and that's what i particularly love on this site when there are some good tech threads going.

perhaps you can explain something about modern emissions equipment fitted to engines, and if there's anything to be gained by junking it (e.g. cats, egr etc)?
