Its not that sorta noise. It also started progressively, and that wouldn't explain the knocking on cold starting for about 5seconds.
If it still knocks after this, I'll just wait for it to blow up.
Will find out in the next couple of days and let you know :)
Nah, had to buy that one, I reckon I threw the ones I had away! :/
Todays s**t update.
Engine has been knocking for ages now, but last night, it got real bad. So dropped the oil this morning, finding out how bloody thin it was...
Just a small list, off the top of my head. All on my own Clio DCi thing.
N/S Outer CV completely fucked
Engine knocking, suspected big end bearings (pulling apart today to check)
Slipping clutch
destroyed engine mounts
Overdue oil change (obviously changing it when I do big ends)
A/C empty...
Just a few little bits here really.
Serviced Robs ventura's Ph1, its been sat around for a while, and I kept forgetting to ask, better late than never!
Genuine stuffs used
Mashed the oil filter getting it off, it was f**king tight.
Drained the entire coolant system and flushed as much as...
Worn clutch is most likely. It'd probably take years for it to actually fail, will still be a lot of meat on the friction plate, you'll find the springs are just tired.
New clutch isn't a cheap job on these though.
f**k sakes, theres not enough ways to say Brilliant/awesome/epic/amazing etc.
Comparing those headlights, I can see why you were being picky. Would it be too much to say silvertec bulbs? or do you want to slap me for that?
Also, you know how cars reflect the owner, everytime I see the front of...
:D I do try. Heres some more progress for you!
Feels like some real progress today, brilliant day, helped by Dr Blast @Dr Jekyll too!
Started at 9AM this morning, With this.
Started removing the sound deadening tar on the passenger floor....
Got the seats out etc, started removing the...
I doubt it'll get 100bhp gain. It'd have to be low boost to last on standard internals, so at very best you're talking 240bhp from what I've seen.
Plus you need ECU as mentioned above, and mapping, and fitting it all!
I'm sure AndyRG would do a better package.
Four small Torx bolts. One screw on the left is already there (holds a clip for the airbag), the other has nothing. Threaded holes are already in the wheel, whatever wheel it is.
Cheers dude!
Yeah it was soaking, Only had a few minor slides, mostly at Quarry (that first, shitty corner). First time I've done Combe in the wet, done it in the try hundreds of times!
Awesome, cheers buddy.
That second pic is at full throttle, Not even under-steering, just going exactly where I want. Thats the advantage of so little power!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Cheers..
Not much to update really, Will have more over the weekend.
Got one pic from FCS, Haven't seen any track pics of it, not that it surprises me tbh. Just before I left, looks much better with no front plate. Full lock is due to feeling the driveshaft lol...
Slam it, you can feel like 17 again.
Ride height will be easy enough, damper adjustment won't be so easy.
Would be good to get it setup properly though, Rear will more than likely be out on camber/toe.
