buy the special tools for pushing the braid away and fitting the olive in place, they are well worth having.

s**t cast log manifold or get a nice tubular one made up.

if i was going to look at improving/updating i'd look at double wishbone suspension. be a bit of a faff but would be worth it in the end.

i'd use the standard head over the 225 head all day long. 197 head is better though. 197 head and megane pistons or 197 head, 172 cams and 225 or 250 headgasket. you can use the megane exhaust manifold and turbo but you need to cut the neck off the turbo and turn it 90deg.

saw dan washing this before when i went past his work

Pull plugs and check them, could be a duff injector. Had that a few times and it does seem like a cold start issue. Was it mapped by Chris?

gasket hadn't gone in the first place, breather system is crap on them.

dicked around no end over sending a kit out, think it took about 3 weeks to arrive and then it was wrong as well!!!!! said it had been sent god knows how many times and in the end we had to get the car logbooked without any fookin' brakes on it. that was the first and last time i've used a...

seen plenty have timing slip not long after belts done.

looking at the amount of toyo shite that people buy you can sell anything as long as it looks nice.

only for the max power generation ? for us more mature ones it's all the old ford and a series mini stuff they did.

It's a bit long winded but they've sort of always existed but under various names over the years due to them 'going bust' a fair few times. I was next to them a few years ago when they downsized and I ended up with about 1/3 of their original factory. They moved a few times and went bust a few...

So I hear someone who does a bit with Renaults is talking to peco about a range of exhausts and decats etc for the Renault sport range. Best bit is there will be a bit of actual development going into it that will even involve rolling road figures as well.

What's the car for?

Just take the exhaust off, that way you'll still have a bloody good exhaust and a loud car, it's a win win situation!!!

Not even bothering to click on the link bit am guessing it's the usual toyo shite?

It doesn't have a tps, what did you replace then? What was map reading at idle?

Anything between 165bhp and 191bhp.

Phase 1 I'm guessing then not a cup?

every car has to have third party cover at least, so legally you can't do it that way.

after, shame he hadn't driven a few beforehand, would of been able to squeeze more out of him ?

i told him to drive as many as he can so he can see how well it actually drives.

has to be said it drove so well, genuinely doubt many in the country that were better than it, no noises, bumps, creaks, rattles etc. handled well for stock dampers and aftermarket springs, the new owner genuinely doesn't realise yet how good a car it is.

so you reckon you could develop AND build to a cracking spec AND sell it for £18,000 AND make a profit? to take an old shell and build it up as a new car would probably cost you at least that and that's not factoring in labour costs as well.

It's a 99% certainty it's selling today...im letting him sell at last ?

fine to reuse them.

old age...eyesight...hearing next to go ?

Bellhousing/sump is circled.

World is your lobster, depends how much you want to spend. Valves then decent set of cams and high comp Pistons and a bit of headwork will put you past 200bhp on standard inlets.
