So, I bought the tool. Group N timing, i didnt have a clue what it meant at the time i just knew it changed the timing slightly and gave a higher compression ratio. I managed to get mine first as I had booked in with the mapping god Chris at EFI and needed my car ready for the following weekend...

Dead easy to wire up, just make sure correct gauge wire is used and the inline fuse is high enough

Weve never re used any before

New screen should be fitted with new rubbers?

Next on the agenda was sorting this engine out so it was 100%. I started with new plugs, new injectors, coil pack and HT leads. After some head scratching I realised it was running Meg225 injectors. They didnt look like normal R.s ones and that's why. I had a spare fuel rail with 4 clio...

Next task was getting rid of the bloody fibreglass bonnet. I HATE fibreglass panels. As a panel beater looking at the horrific ripples in the panel made me want to set it on fire!!! So I took it off and sold it to my mate and the cash paid for a tidy second hand steel bonnet. Slight bit of rust...

Ok so now it was all cleaned up I decided to see what the hell was going with the engine. It would cough and splutter then run fine again... it was quit confusing. So I did some research on throttle bodies and the Gen90 ECU from Ktec and found out that they needed balancing. Starting with your...

I've too have learnt something then

Also the Epas rack bolts on with solid mounts an the R.S. ones are on rubber bushes

I maybe wrong but I thought the R.S. subframes were wider track. Also the Epas racks a different from the Pas ones. Theres no resistance moving the Epas ones because there's no piston inside moving oil through the pipes. It's just a greased up rack and pinion

I would use the 182 subframe and fit your dci rack to it. People only use the Renault sport rack because it's cheaper to put a link pipe in than buy the rack and epas column

Any metallic or solid reds fade. Normally you would blend the colour into the adjacent panels

Leave the dci rack m8

What is it you've got?

Yes your right, normally your front left and rear right are linked and your front right and rear left. It's so the car will brake in a straight line if something fails in the MC

Haha it's most definitely removed now. It's an anti vibration thing I believe.

Some of you with a keen eye will notice the smoothed door and 1/4 panels, smoothed out bonnet badge, smoothed out bumper inserts, smoothed out roof rails and debadged on the rear. I think I opened the mouth up on the front bumper aswell. rear arches were rotten and the rear of the sills when I...

I found my Valver pictures...

Yes. Larger port goes through your bulkhead into your bias valve and then T's off at the rear to each rear caliper

If you buy a better tyre I dont think it will role so much on the walls. I dont think the tyre pressures are 30psi on a road tyre are they with standard weight. Basically your car as standard if its 172 it was 1100kg if it's a 182 I think they're 1200kg and a 172cup was 1020kg if I remember...

As the day goes on you will get quicker and quicker aswell as you become more confident

Suspension isn't your problem then. I would say over driving the tyres. Also 30psi in a 850kg car is probably too much Closer to 28psi hot I would say. If it's purely a trackcar and you have a propper cage then go straight for slicks, dont even bother with road legal

Something which is very often over looked is also as you lower your car for lower centre of gravity this moves your role centre point out of the factory settings. If you have the cash once you have a decent suspension setup invest in a role centre and bump steer correction kit. Best on the...

Wierdly that actually works!!! Polish and Romanian car repairers have been found to be buying total loss cars from the uk. Importing them to their countries. Repairing them to no british standards as cheaply as possible and then sending them back receiving a new Reg as an import vehicle and...

Also your next step would be propper suspension. Would completely change the car

Pads will be fine, have you bedded them in correctly and given them some heat cycles? Chuck £20 at the instructor attending the trackday for 20minute tuition and he will open your eyes to the capabilities of your car

Yes, CL5+ need to be kept dry so if it's going to sit around outside exposed to the elements then have a cheap set of road pads to put in after track days. Your camber looks fine 2.5 to 2.75 is what guys usually run. Most run 10minutes tow out or more as when you accelerate in a fwd car you...

Why buy new? Second hand are like £20

Ok I've just read this whole thing. I'm a BMW senior ATA panel technician and looking at the damage to the boot floor, back panel, tailgate and bumper, this I would repair all day long. I would buy a pattern new back panel and fit it, whilst the back panel was off i would straighten the the...

Ahhh hahaha yea that is a bit rough
