I can vouch for this guy (Nad), top bloke. He is based in littlehampton on the south coast. He does the geo set up on my Clio, the flocking is a side business.

Simple question. If all the cams were the same price which would you buy? My take, it appears there isnt much between them in terms of tuning capabilities with 438 being slightly more favourable. Ultimately if you purchased 438's you are paying a premium for a disproportionate gain but a gain...

This is a great shame, a major headache and cost for Ford. Post warranty used values are going to crash through the roof if this isn't sorted. This will then harm the RS brand so it will cost Ford either way, they need to act fast...

That's good to hear

Mine has the RS Tuner remap. You lose the 5k kick but have more power more of the time. It is an improvement and a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion but don't expect much (if any) higher bhp at peak power. A friend of mine already had the RS Tuner device so I only needed to buy the unlock code...

Welcome to the forum. I have been watching and enjoying your adventures so far, always of interest as I have a very similar project on the go. It gets expensive...

A friend of mine is selling his winter tyres, link to eBay below: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Pirelli-Snowcontrol-Series-3-Winter-Tyres-195-45-16-84H-M-S-4-5mm-VGC/253255216385?fits=Tyre+Width%3A195%7CAspect+Ratio%3A45%7CRim+Diameter%3A16&hash=item3af72fed01:g:BpMAAOSwdnZaCEDl

Mmmm my car spends a lot of time in the high revs. Is it worth getting ARPs fitted at the same time as the cambelt?

Unfortunately I do not have a build thread. I could take some pictures later on this week but I was trying to get a rough estimate of its value at this point.

So what's mine worth... Clio 182 – 55 Plate MOT ends Sept 18 Last serviced Sept 17 93k miles Alternator and aux belt was replaced Oct 17, Cambelt changed Nov13 at 56k miles. Engine: RS Tuner remap – running 174 BHP 159 lb ft (per SRR) PMS exhaust system including sports Cat Interior: OMP WRC...

Same as me.

Agreed, enjoy his videos the most.

Mark, with the number of cars being stolen around the country have you considered any security upgrades like the Ghost system? RS must be a target.

Update on the PMS exhaust system (to help those who search for a PMS exhaust thread). I attended a Brand Hatch track day, got 91 DB on the static and no issues on the drive by - limit was 87 DB. I have also attended a Goodwood track day, got 85 DB on the static (I think I rev'd it a little...

Does anyone know of a good film/video editor for the PC (Windows 10)? I have lots of gopro footage from track days which I would quite like to edit together. Thanks

Yep me too.

I am planning to get my cambelt / dephaser replaced early next year and at the same time looking to get cams fitted with a tailored remap on top. I expect I will use Engine Dynamics in Essex for the work.

I would guess that the tyres would be in better health after 3 x 15 mins rather than 2 x 20 mins. The extra heat applied to the tyres in a single session destroys them. On occasion I have stayed out on track a little longer then 15 mins and my tyres start melting but that's just my experience.

The AD08r's are quite a soft compound and very effective on track - I use them. I tend to limit myself to 15 minute sessions, it's the last few minutes which overheat the tyres which causes them to melt them. Also the car needs a reasonable amount of time to cool down before the next session.

Same here. Brilliant in the dry, scary in the wet.

92k - and only 2/3k a year as its a weekend/track car. It was previously my daily which I did around 10k a year.

Yes

Apparently my old exhaust wasn't an original 182 exhaust so it's difficult to compare. But I would say its probably a bit more boomy than standard but not too bad. Its fairly quiet until you really put your foot down.

I know, I know. Hopefully tomorrow night! It was raining tonight...

I will do a quick video sometime next week when I have some free time.

Safety devices for a cage and get it fitted at Mark Fish. That's what I will be doing at some point in the future...

Without the silencer the PMS would be loud, I think @Fletcher has a 172 decat version, he might be able to assist you.

90 db is only if I attend Thruxton track days, most track days I attend are 98 db. My old exhaust was 90 db and I would say they similar in noise levels but the PMS sounds epic!

Finally got the PMS exhaust system fitted (picture before and after). Sounds ace!
