    ARP rod bolts upgrade

    Yeah you should be fine with the windage try. I spoke to PMS before I trimmed mine as was cautious I had the wrong part but they confirmed it seems to be a lottery with them, in particular the Ph1's Easy enough to trim though if it is needed. I was the same as struggler and just bought the PMS...

    Open car trailer

    My ph1 with fabia splitter slightly catches on the ramps depending on what ground Im on, in particular my driveway as its on a slope so doesnt help the loading angle. Its minor though, not enough to cause damage. Had various modified & track cars on it with no major issues

    Manifold to Cat join conversion to v band?

    Yeah Im running vibratechnics mounts and powerflex dogbone. Just away to change them to PMS ones Also running the BTT motorsport polybushed exhaust mounts to replace the poor standard ones so that helps keep it in place

    Manifold to Cat join conversion to v band?

    Im running a v band on my 182 manifold with a sports cat installed. No flexi. Used for sprints / hills so low miles but plenty abuse and not had any issues. Has been like that for around 7 years now. Its sleeved after the cat

    Open car trailer

    Iv got an ifor CT136HD, keep looking at changing to brian james but I think alot of them are for show and is ofte some snobbery in the paddock towards the agricultural ifor williams Only downside to them is noisy if your ever travelling empty long distance due to the leaf springs. Little to go...

    Keyed crank pulley cambelt procedure

    I didn't want to do it with cams locked as then theres tension on them and valves could be open when Im rotating the crank. I may be speaking rubbish and overthinking it

    Keyed crank pulley cambelt procedure

    Can anyone enlighten me on the best way to even out the belt tension when using the keyed crank pulley? Iv seen it mentioned here about using the megane manual / guide, don't suppose anyone has the link to one or even a screenshot of relevant part? Thought I could unpin crank & cams and then...

    Advice of rust proofing, protection for a Clio 172

    One other point for clios is don't forget the interior. Remove the rear door cards and you can clean out / treat the rear quarters as they can rot from the inside out. I scraped off all the loose rust, hoovered it out as its awkward for access and then sprayed the s**t out of it with Bilt Hamber...

    Advice of rust proofing, protection for a Clio 172

    If your going to do it, I would do it right. I've previously done my own 4x4's etc. Struggle to find companies doing it properly nowadays as no one is willing to pay for all the prep as there is guys out there throwing some underseal on for £250. Proper job on a decent sized motor your looking...

    Cat cam 438 correct timing, who can help?

    Up in the North East of Scotland so would need to borrow / post but rather just get one made. I have the standard renault tool so surely anyone decent with CAD should be able to produce a drawing and then rotate the exhaust by 8 deg and then pass this onto a CNC machinist. I will try Kevin...

    Clio 182 Running Issues

    Injectors can cause a misfire, ones Iv had go the misfire is there all the time so was easier to diagnose by disconnecting one at a time and seeing if engine changed. If no change then that was the culprit. Maybe a bit harder for you if it isnt there all the time. Other way to check them is with...
