What pressures should I be looking for on a healthy engine after a compression test?

Can’t believe it!! Not seen or heard of inferno’s for ages! I buy one thinking I’m super cool then they all start coming out of the wood work haha! Mine is a bit broken atm though! 🤦🏻‍♂️ One send too hard and the engine and turbo didn’t agree with it!! 😂

I need to do one on my BG but not attempted one before, did the new one tap on ok or did you have to heat the ring or anything? I’ve heard a couple different ways of doing that being one of them.

That’s fun until it actually breaks! 😭

Not taxed or insured atm… I know the potential is there… 😂

Yeah I hope it’s not knackered either!! 😂 I’m taking it down on the 7th of Jan when I get back from my trip.

So the car has been ok and not lost any more oil that I can see, still getting residual now and then from where I tried to clean it off. I trying/have booked in with Alex from AWMotorworks who you may know of used to work at Engine Dynamics but went to do his own thing. He’s going to be doing a...

Shame @Lewi86 sold the briads! It looked epic on them!!

I don’t unfortunately as I purchased it through a local car audio shop where my mate works but if you see the pic above and search the ctsrn005.2 number and the pioneer patch lead I’m sure you’ll find it 👍🏻

Mine also is a pioneer, a DEH8400BT to be precise. It’s the only brand headunit I’ve ever used as it has wide background colour selection.

A fair bit yeah but a lot of messers too, Surprised it’s still here tbh!!

Oh and I had the BG out of the garage today after the exhaust swap was completed. It sounds so good the video does it absolutely no justice, decat, de-res into a rare Ashley racing rear box!

The unit in my picture defiantly works with my 182 showing Reanult on the small dash display and all stork controls working.

They are the best looking imo but the deal on the 2118s has fallen through due to the op wheels being damaged and me not being able to handle running damaged wheels. The hunt for a swap or sale continues… Some of you may have seen a post on here and FB regarding oil loss on the turbo clio...

My above post was incorrect as the box didn’t work with the controls, it was for a clio 2 but the older style oem head unit. The picture of the below is the one that worked with mine.

As a guess I would say so… do to where the oil is in the engine bay.

So I appear to have blown all my engine oil through the breather over the block and gearbox. I was just wanting to know potential causes for this to do it as an idea to give my mechanic. I’ve topped the oil back up to see if the is an actual physical leak anywhere as I’ve had no drips on the...

Big news I’ve broken the turbo already… Went out for a drive last night and sent it a little too hard! Came out to the car today and saw oil rainbows on the rain soaked floor… Cant see where it’s coming from underneath as it’s everywhere. Plan is to get it booked in with my mechanic to have a...

I’m going to be doing an abs ring change out on the BG. Is it literally 30mm drive shaft nut off, 2x lower arm bolts, knock shaft out of hub, remove and refit abs ring and refit back together? Is there anything I should be mindful/careful of when doing it as it’s the 1st time in trying one. Thanks

This morning I received the v5 for the Inferno and instantly set about making the car officially mine, off came the number plates to reveal the horror’s that lie beneath!! I gave the area a quick wipe over with water and then attacked the pads with the tar and glue remover. I had to recover the...

I have sorted the the above with correct connect2 box an headunit specific patch lead. I’m unsure as to what your purple lead is though as mine is yellow and 5 pin not 2 like yours looks. Below is the correct interface for a 54 plate 182 with the correct headunit lead.

So today I set about swapping the exhaust over on the BG and the inferno. The inferno runs a stainless decat non-resonated system and the BG a decat resonated system. The swap was purely down the not liking the Ashley back box tips. The Milltek was removed quite easily… Once removed I...

I think the buzzing inside near the mirror is something to do with the auto climate control sensor I think. I’ve had it before and changed something inside which sorted it but I’m sure someone else will confirm.

They do look better in person than in a photo I must admit but like I said the chrome blob on the standard lights does my head in. I don’t think FK euro lights would be any better tbh? @Greeny. I think AV was an Ipswich reg code?? My Monaco was AO an that was Norwich code and the car sold at my...

The ph1’s in all their marmite glory! They’re growing on me the more I look at them! I just can’t stand the chrome blob in the middle of the ph2 lights Exhaust is next to sort on the list.

Yeah ktec ones I believe. The previous owner told me that the shocks fitted were leaking and b14 weren’t available from ktec so he had to get these in time for his mot! How true that is I don’t know! Hopefully my 2nd set of turinis sell an then I’ll use the funds for suspension upgrades, This...

The guy I got it from said it was just on shocks and springs 🤷🏻‍♂️ No mate, I just got the pic from the other side to show the non damaged camber guide.

Spent some time on the Inferno this afternoon, mainly to look at the camber issues on the cheap coil overs as seen in pic below. Jacked it up an wheels off… And here lies the problem… Cheap!! I managed to get the camber bolt adjusted and nipped up tight so hopefully I won’t get any issues. I...

Yeah loads but no one has turned up with the cash as yet! Had a forum member planned for yesterday evening and someone else today but one backed out last minute and the other was a no show. It’s a shame to see it just sat there to be honest when someone could be getting the use out of it! I...

Had a bit of a quick mess about with the inferno today and began to remove some of 90/00s spec mods of that the previous owner has done… Bonus points to whoever can guess what they were! I’ll do a proper update when I get to spend some serious time on her.
