Ive been meaning to get some locking nuts for a while but most locking nuts have closed tops so they won't nun down a long stud. Then i spotted these in Halfords :S Anyway, they are spot on, for going on the standard Twingo Cup wheels or the Speedlines. They have the 60deg seat and are the...

Engine swap. 133 /172/182 Turbo/supercharger Nitrous Pursue traditional tunning with a decent wallet and a good sense of humour ;)

if your rear beam was horizontal and there was 1deg negative camber, raising the ride height a massive amount so the beam was hanging vertically down, that camber would now equate to 1deg toe out. Unrealistic example I know, but extremes are often easier to visualise. As the beam is near...

The casting looks to be different for the exhaust side. Possibly to improve cooling of the Ex side. Could still be interchangeable... Are the valves the same size. Is the cam position, valve gear etc the same, to keep the same valve lift ratio Are the valve spring seats the same height and same...

Most remapped GTs with circa 130hp will be as quick or quicker than a standard or remapped 133 in a straight line sprint as the GT will have plenty of torque. The ban(which Isn't permanent) goes back to your last vids showing you and your mate on the dual carriageway, which I thought we had...

If you have enough adjustment, you could drop the spring platform the required number of turns to make it rub. Will be obvious then.

Out at work now and can see the pics :) It could be the angle of the photos but it looks like the Twingo LBJ is lower to start off with. The discs are the same 280mm and it looks like the bottom edge of the Twingo upright is a fair way down the swept area on the disc, whilst the Clio ones are...

Thanks guys. I can't see the pics here internet filter blocks lots of hosting sites :( Back home tomorrow, so I'll look into getting. this sorted out over the next three weeks

With them splitting so soon and quickly going from fine to perished and split, the problem has been the first you know is the joint is knocking. Then, its bend over time for replacement wishbones instead of £15-20 for a joint. The revised ones of late seem to be lasting a bit better, but there's...

Just been having a look for the Clio Cup uniballs. Are they easy to get hold of... I guess I'll need to get access to the hallowed vaults here to find some. However, searching the net has revealed some wonderful RC correction solutions which must have a huge placebo effect, just dropping the...

The Twingo hubs look like they are going to be stronger around the lower ball joint area, compared to the 1*2 hubs which look to have much less meat on them around this area. You can see one of the usual split ball joint rubbers and this was only 18months old and 4400miles, which has had me...

Spot on, thanks for that :) A pair of Clio arms , a pair of your spherical bearing holders and extenders, with the top end altered to a taper engagement for the RS Twingo upright. Possibilities for it working out if the inner bushes of the arms share the same spacing and the overall length is...

Have you got a link to your hubs/extenders. I'm on a super rubbish internet connection and waiting for the wrong picture to load is disappointing :( RS Twingo uprights have taper lower ball joint socket, taper TRE socket and 60mm bolt pitch for the damper so 182 cup/trophy spacing. As for the...

I bent one of the hub extenders on the Audi, just below the hub joint. Fortunately the taper in the hub wasnt damaged. But, the 1.9tdi is a shed load heavier, was stiff as hell and went/stopped rather well :) RS133 front uprights have a taper joint and the lower arms are cast, with the ball...

Yeah, I found the toe/camber usually change which can be corrected with shims. I've thought about it before, but kind of discounted it as the axle/beam is pivoting about a line 90' to the roll axis. So, thinking if it does change, its probably the same/similar amount as the drop in ride height...

With the McPherson suspension ,I know when lowering the chassis from the standard ride height, the roll centre at the front will change and end up lower as the front wishbone angle between inner and outer pivots and also steering axis will have all changed. So, roll centre adjusters can then be...

So a second set of injectors before the butterfly, for higher revs and throttle openings.

Seems a bit of a contradiction :S

Mine haven't been tried yet (new AT design for RS133) so I'm not sure how well they will compare if another company were to make a set. I know the injectors are close to the head, but that's exactly the same distance from the head as the original inlet manifold, with the injectors firing at the...

Is this why the At-Power bodies can be shorter? Smaller diameters (or equivalent oval area) can be used due to being shaftless butterflies. With oval port sized bodies, the gas speed will be kept up, hence allowing a shorter overall package (body, extensions, trumpets)... Too short, or a good...

Mines quite thoroughly molested :)

Its like the dark ages. Pitch forks and shouting for a witch to be burnt.

Martin. I see what you mean by your Dinis warm reception :S Think I'm screwed :)

Theres another member on 133.net doing bike throttles at present, although he hasn't got it all together yet. As far as I know, these are the first ones made for a K4M, much like the cams that were made for it, this is Guinea pig central.

I had a count up of the component parts and gave up at 120 :S Loads of room. Well, there will be as soon as the expansion tank moves to where the battery used to be Thats a big step forwards, but they are back in their box for now :cry:

Theres more to it than just load rating. Tyre size, Pressure, XL, reinforced or standard construction. Theres a Bridgestone tyre fitment manual online somewhere that shows the load for different tyres at different pressures.

1" ratchet strap untill I make something a bit more permanent to keep the Odysey inplace

http://www.xrallyparts.com/PBProduct.asp?ItmID=2811836 Also, what about the Clio S1600 or Twingo R2 parts

^^^ which is probably why up and over manifolds... clio etc have inlet runners which have an oblong shape as opposed to round.
