    Viper IK contents

    yes but if s/h check the foam for tearing as its common on vipers if they are not looked after.

    oil sender question

    pressure is at the back of the block, cylindrical looking thing. Oil temp is about 10 o'clock from oil filter.

    172 and 182 engine

    earlier 172's until about late '02 had the sport head casting, with larger exhaust ports which flow much better. THe later 172's and 182's/cups have a head based on the turbo casting, much smaller exhasut ports which flow about 20% less. The valves/cams/geometry is the same. But cnc programs...

    Wheel bearing going after only 1500 miles

    they could be yea, or related to a high/low point on the brake disc or brake pad deposition.

    Strut Brace Adjustments: Help please

    catches your bonnet? you only need to apply pressure so its taught, not slack...you dont actually need to apply force.

    Engine techie question.....

    yea, they are balanced to a 120 deg pattern....BUT, the cranks are so long that torsional vibration is horrible and they twist alot, hence no super power ones are around, they cant deal with massive torque (before you bring in commercial, they follow diff rules ;) ) lol. Technically a 4 pot...

    Tyre Balancing?

    are you referring to balancing the original 13's you put back on, or the 15" repaired tyre? :S

    Best tyres for the track

    Nope, no problems. Majority of clubman rally racers use them......remoulds is misleading, they are approved for competition use. They last well, grip well and cost next to nothing.

    Wheel bearing going after only 1500 miles

    lol, no worries. Its not hard, technically only 10 bolts.

    New thought - 21 turbo into clio?

    not a great engine. 5 cylinder, long long engine, longditudinally mounted with a transaxle. It would hang about a foot infront of your bumper.

    Engine techie question.....

    There is no direct relationship, its entirely upto what the manufacturer is aiming for. Most cars now are classed in engine size, which affects target market and insurance ratings/tax/registration, so the have capacities groups to play into. No point having a 2ltr v8 in a production car...

    Wheel bearing going after only 1500 miles

    you'll be fine driving until the noise gets really bad. No special tools unless your replacing the bearing. No idea how much a garage will charge, depends on their labour rate.....about £80-100 average for labour i would say. And you wont be able to proove they bent it, they will...

    Best tyres for the track

    if you've got dedicated track wheels, then run some dedicated track rubber. Some hard compound semi's or tarmac stage remoulds from colway are brilliants and not alot of money, plus they last ages.

    Coilovers

    yup. But you can go too low and ruin the geometry at that ride height. But if its a mk1 clio, then you still need to adj the torsion bar at the rear.

    Wheel bearing going after only 1500 miles

    buy either a new hub to ensure its perfect, but they aint cheap, or get a s/h one and take the risk (not many bend though as they are massive peices of cast iron, it took almost rolling the thing at goodwood to bend mine....and a hydraulic press to bend another. Actually, they could of bent...

    Wheel bearing going after only 1500 miles

    its basically impssible to spot. you can drive on it, until the bearing goes. probs the cause for the brakes rubbing.

    Wheel bearing going after only 1500 miles

    If a bearing keeps going then it probably means your hub is bent. Mine kept going every 1500-2000 miles and i did about 3 bearings before getting a new hub on there. Still fine now.
