a new spark plug cover is only a few quid surprisingly, fron ren.

The only real differnce between coilovers and the regular strut/spring setup is the body. Coilovers do not neccesarily use smaller dampers, they can use the same inserts but jsut use a body that doesnt have as large a spring seat. The Strut casting is threaded and an adjustable spring seat...

lol....i wonder why col! hahaha Agree on the coilovers aswell, the spring seat will rub, but i was talking about the rear of the car. Wasnt even thinking about the front, for some reason i thought you were only talking about the rear lol.

genuine Renault bearings are about 40 odd quid and are far better quality. Also go to a ren specialist to fit the bearing, if they are pressed in wrongthey wont last. Ive had some las as little as 4k, but gen ren bearings pressed in properly last a long time.

the car can sweat but only if you put it in during the late eve. As it gets dow to bollocking cold, the car will have condensation. But it wont if you just leave it in there. Doesnt do it during the summer either.

yes, but you have positive and negative offsets. 0 is no offset, -et35 brings the wheel 35mm inwards and +et35 pushes it out 35mm.

Add a flowed head and manifolds to that and 200bhp is your new target. But i WAS very surprised at the results andy got from cams alone, typically they just loose you some torque low down and dont gain anything in peak power. But either the grinds are not overly wild and work nicely, and that...

no, it wont harm anything. i just dont like castrol right now due to theur synthetic policies. They are synthetic by % volume, not by content. Mobil took them to court a while ago but catrol won and were allowed to use the synthetic term. Then there was a scare that mobil and other serious...

you cleaned the blood and hair up quick then! joke joke~...ok tasteless

Brakes, ive said it once and ill say it again. The traditional runing in method of gently gently catchy monkey for 200 miles is useless. 10 60mph - 5mph stop with increasing brake pressure is enough to burn the resins and bed the pad material, a final 80mph stop when they have cooled a tad is...

Bit to high a hot temp VR.....you dont need it that thick.

The newer i-vtec is 3 stage with 3 cam lobes and 3 follwers. And like Jay says its doesnt just phase a cam to advance or r****d a static cam profile, it actually changes the cam to one with me lift, duration and different cam timing. Lovely system.

Nah, dun worry mate, you should see how much i get wrong, jsut glad i got that one thing right lol.

whazzat say?

yup, S1600 regulations state that the max build cost for the car is US$100,000. Supposedly to keep costs down, and it works! Comapred to 1/4 mil WRC cars.

Crap, glad evrybody is ok! But i dunno what it is with people, i had a pip and shout at some people crossing a major junction 10 feet from a zebra crossing where i would of had to stop...but no, they stand the the middle of 4 lanes. Incidentally, on a lighter note, a school mate in Hong...

then not much, maybe another 5-7bhp.

how much, gearbox oil change is a 20 min operation and in labour should only cost about 15 quid.

your moving the whee centre lines, reducing track, increase scrub radius, increasing steering torque moments.

ive no idea how you do it, unless you get into the gearbox and change the drive gears
