    Performance difference in fuel

    There is no discernable difference and itll run perfectly fine on 95 stuff. But im sure alot of people will preach the benefits of 98RON fuel. Despite the fact that RON is a low speed knock test and has nowhere near as important an influence on high rpm performance engines as MON. Optimax...

    WHAT OIL FOR A WILLIAMS 3

    pop down your ren garage and get some Elf Competition 10w40 or 15w50.

    Is my oil pressure too low

    Coolant system flush gives the best results. ITs viscosity and temp that make the diff, along with the thermo properties of each oil. I run 15w50s which give 6bar at cold and idle, but 0 at idle when hot. I have 15w50s which get up to over 120 on track and at max rpm barely reach 3bar.

    Is my oil pressure too low

    Its fine, dont worry. Most valvers do that with extreemly hot oil, although some owners might not admit to it as its seen as being a poor valver.

    filling up with gearbox oil

    Slick50........the age old arguement. Its a PTFE solid dispersant, meaning particles of PTFE are circulated via the oil system to areas of MOFT metal to metal contact. Somewhere its meant to be an EPA and a friction modifier. Now, PTFE is GREAT when used as an alloyed film on bronze-lead...

    New performance Exhaust for 152quid

    57 is a tad too small.

    Braided brake hoses

    It doesnt really make the pedal any firmer as were all using servo assistance which takes out all pedal firmness. And the unions are the b*****d part!

    filling up with gearbox oil

    Not really. If you need pics, get a buddy to help you.......its only 1 bolt, 1 finger bolt and pour oil in. And i wouldnt touch any slick50 product.

    WIZARDS OF NOS ..... Clio V6

    N20 is fun at the beginning. BUt i never use mine anymore. Cant be arsed going to get filled, cant be arsed having my timing retarded all the time, cant be arsed having to turn it on and off. Its not a lazy mans power oomph. lol

    filling up with gearbox oil

    Yea, its not a bad idea. You dont need pics mate. Just take the airbox off, on the front of the box youll see a white (probably covered in crud) plastic wingnut. Take that off, and fill the box up from there. Like jay said its full when oil flows out of the hole. To empty. UNder the car...

    cam timing

    Again........sheesh ;) Engine at TDC on non firering stroke. Find the figure for lift on overlap, or in other words, the lift for each cam at TDC. WIth the engine set, time the cams in for that value with you dial gauges on each tappet. Turn engine anti clockwise to measure inlet lift...

    2 Questions - Probs With My Valver

    The sunroof is more likely to leak than the ariel as it can hold a fair amount of water.

    172/valver/willy clutch

    said the exact same thing to him.

    filling up with gearbox oil

    Nah. Hop down to halfords. Their orange funnels with flexi tube on are a perfect fit and allows you to fill the box up in about 1 min. Easy job.

    clio 16v on carbs

    Looks a bit of an untidy conversion. With carbs alone on a std engine you wont see much power unless you really sort the hot air problem. And you can already see the lack of space on that install. power wont be upped dramatically, and you will suffer in terms of running smoothness, pain in...

    idle update (part 2)

    i couldnt find it either! the message body search function aint working.

    cam timing

    better idea. But i prefer the lift on overlap method.

    idle update (part 2)

    hehehe, do a search ;)

    Snap, Crackle & Pop!

    The pop is a simple result of the TPS going from no load and no fuel situations to min load and fueling.

    Potentiometer Settings

    Hmmmm.......the message body search function isnt working. Search one of the idle threads, as im pretty sure it was in one of them. Or ask jas ;)

    WIZARDS OF NOS ..... Clio V6

    If my group buy worked out instead of people always dropping out last moment, people would have the kit for roughly 400 quid.

    cam timing

    Ask them their method. If its the traditional max lift at x crank degrees, its almost certainly an engine out procedure.
