    where are all the tuning packages! (long

    Why? Because not many of you are prepared to pay what it takes to get anymore than 185-190bhp with the normal bolt on mods. So its far easier just ot price on application. Its not very hard just to call up the company and enquire how much itll cost to do a certain amount of work, or do...

    FAO BEN R RE:cam timing

    Hello, been on a plane away etc etc etc. Anyway. Lock it to TDC, the engines have a bolt you can remove then insert a tool which locks the crank at its natural TDC. But if you want measure the angle BTDC where the piston JUST stops moving, note it, then keep turning until the piston JUST...

    valver query

    byproduct of combustion and then the catalyst is water. Stem seals are the seals which prevent oil running down the valve stems, trough the guides and into the port. ALL valvers make large puffs of smoke on accleration, downchanges, stamps etc etc. Its the natural acceleartion injection...

    will 19 16v head fit clio 16v

    yes. But depending on casting the CTS might screw direct into the head or into teh thermo housing. But both can be made to fit.

    Topped up the oil

    The smoke was more likely oil moving up through the block breathers and into the inlet manifold.

    Re-mapped ECU, what do u make of this

    Some ECUs you can just map.....its all dependant on the sphistication of the software used and the ability to get into the actual ECU in the first place. Once your there, its just like mapping any other ECU by altering figures. Technically our siemens ECUs could run everything from turbos...

    Best Suspension (for handling)

    My personal setup for road use. Willy front track using OE bushes, poly is too hard. LEDA oil dampers with 190lb springs. 15" wheels with 205s upfront and 195s on the rear. You cant adj the torsion bar poundage, and i know of nowhere to get uprated torsion bars. So it might be easier...

    air filter what is the best move

    itll be the easiest, the cheapest and the safest and with the cost being so low, if your not happy you can try the more expensive route at a later date

    idle update (part 12) ;0)

    crap, if only somebody could find that post of mine. If not ill get the values for you again. Still sounds like the ISCV bleeding too much air in as it rests itself when you restart it.

    cold start problem

    yea, they sometimes just wont start on the first turn. We had one that just would randomly not start, hot or cold, and we replaced everything. Eventually a new loom sorted it.

    brakes on 172 mk1

    no, not 90%, more along the lines of 2/3s. Id inform the insurance company. And from personal experience, grooves, holes etc etc are a useles performance aid and serve no benefit for the massive extra cost you pay.

    air filter what is the best move

    RUnning lean refers to teh A/F ratio where it drops to a condition where the ratio of air to fuel particles is too high. i.e. there is too much air, the burn can be too rapid, hot etc etc. The value will change in each engine, but typically on newer cars which run a closed loop system for...

    brakes on 172 mk1

    you can leave the rear pads. But get new discs and pads to bed in together, especially if they are performance items.

    172 cup air filter

    Closed IK, will make much better power but the noise is less agressive. Still alot more than std though.
