I lost track of cliosport since I'm very busy doing my own stuff, but have to say that I'm not that surprised about this K4 species evolution since is BenR the mad scientist behind the goggles. Even thou, have to say congratiolations mate for all the effort that is starting to pay off...

Yes it can but it's the main reason why to go coilovers! Weight distribution is critical when it comes to handling. Ok, a clio handles pretty good from std but it can go even better :D

On the F7 and F4 might be true, but on a CVH engine this has be done without a problem. With the 4mm gasket the CVH kit also has longer bolts. How much clearence is there to the bonnet on the 172? The inlet manifold is two bolted parts so geting the gasket on the plenum part of the manifold...

Or maybee the std dipstick was just too small!

What a good eye he has then lol

A friend of mine bolted the JB1053 (its like the 1.2 but with a slighty longer 5th gear) to is valver. The car was fast but the gearbox was destroyed in no time. Can't tell if the gearbox was in good shape thou.

After fitted you should go corner weighting the car. Don't know if anyone here gives this kind of service, but is the main thing way coilovers are a must!

Actually it depends from engine to engine. Some engines can't go above the "Max mark" on the dipstick and others are ok with it. I've seen ppl going 1ltr above the "Max mark" just before a trackday to avoid surge.

so... what else is there when it comes to cams?

Never heard of kent cam falling (CVH engines don't count since they suck on cam lub anyway)... their pulleys yes they fail like piper. They only want to have them light and.... ohhh noooo That's why AWT made their own cam pulleys. What about Newman cams? I only have heard good things of...

I've read about this and even found a website selling this 4mm thick heat insulation gaskets. They were around 50quid each. I know that edelbrock makes them...

I've always said that ARP is good, just said because even ARP says that rpm is not the only thing to take into consideration and I know that this will go against alot of belivers. It seems that the other factors are not well undisclosed, maybee because they are not that relevant for the...

I think that there is always room for new ideas, etc etc. If there wasn't we would still be cuting seats at 30º to improve flow like Gordini and Abarth did!

Tried to keep it simple but ok. What does BBPT uses on their high boost F7P? This can help since they went over alot of problems that only appeared with high boost aplication. Just checked this: http://www.arp-bolts.com/Catalog/Catalog.Images/ARPCatalog.pdf Should have done it in the...

Stan, answered your pm. Sorry for my english mispealing... got to run!
