what do i see there... drum brakes? hehehe

if you have understeer with the willy IMO i suppose u have something wrong. understeer is something i have never experienced in my williams, unless i had crappy tires at the front, wrong tyre press or i got the corner totally wrong Quote: Originally posted by MartinS on 17 March 2004...

hi all just as information i bough a leak down tester and tested both my and my GF williams my williams, with 200k km on the clock, passed the test with flying colors. 20% leak on all cylinders, which sounds very good for a engine with that sort of mileage the bad news came from my GF...

usually pops and bangs indicate a over rich mixture. could be normal on the clio but i would be curious to know why. usually kat engines, even when dekatted, run rather lean Quote: Originally posted by Clio_Bus on 16 March 2004 <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #407db6">keep gettin...

well now u get a well deserved dose of i-told-you-so ;-) it can only be what has been mentioned before. wishbones, rose joint, struts, wishbones bushings, subframes. how much is the car lowered? PS. u cannot test the bushes just pulling a little, u need a large lever, or try the car on...

thats a load of bull. any garage will stay warmer than outside if not just by the heat brought in by the car with a hot engine higher temperature means that there will be less condensation, therefore less water so the car will be drier in the garage than outside. just fit a small fan...

advance timing is recipe for disaster Quote: Originally posted by paddymcc on 10 March 2004 Yep the wires changed round so theres more timing pulses or something like that.The method is on ths rtoc forums on how to do it, it advances the timing i think.

im sure it can be done but why? besides, those baby brake disks inside those huge rims will look bad. hope u have at least rear disk brakes.... i recently say a very nice mitsubishi evo7 with some nice bodykit and 18s. the effect was somewhat spoiled by the sound of the diesel engine...

beware of those scams. if it was so simple and cheap why renault didnt do it on the car to start with Quote: Originally posted by 1.8_16v_Clio on 10 March 2004 Just flicking through the BB Catalogue and saw the above and they say it adds bhp? Sounds Dodge! What are they cus my mate says...

hi i tend to disagree. closed loop, at least in some ECUs i know (im not too familiar with the strategy of clios ecus) has a limited range of closed loop correction. if the maps are wrong by say 100% or injectgor flow increased too much, i doubt closed loop will have the capability or speed...

max poower iw not everything. also driveability is very important. if the power band is too narrow perhaps the power will be higher but lap time will be worse Quote: Originally posted by stan* on 09 March 2004 a road map isnt for max power, no. but wots the point in goin 2 the trouble of...

in fact i believe it might gain 0.3 bhp with that Quote: Originally posted by jon_r on 09 March 2004 im sure youd need to be going pretty fast to create a ram effect.looks good though.

a dump valve??? Quote: Originally posted by BluePete on 09 March 2004 going to get a dump valve for my 1.4 at the same time

hehe right in fact the needle was a blur. i had to shortcut the fuel pump relay so it was always on and checked that way. anyway, the duke idles at 1000rpm more or less and at 1 inlet phase per turn, with a little patience u can spot the needle ;-) i Quote: Originally posted by jimbo on...

i doubt any engine can take advantage of the (alleged) higher RON unless ignition maps are modified ECUs cannot yet manage the ignition timing. there is a knock sensor but AFAIK it is just a safety feaature
