I personally think more strain is going on vital parts elsewhere, you need some flex. But that's just my take on it tho.
Are these mounts made for cars that are rebuild every race/few races?
4 weeks waiting for my diff to come back repaired!!!
Car stuck in my brothers garage , gearbox at builders stripped, and my mot and tax has expired. Can't do a lot till my car is back together.
Slightly annoying.
Quaife reckon they are flat out and behind. Can't give me one off shelf.
On the...
My turbo trophy all mods declared £425
Saxo vtr £336
And golf R £224!
You would of thought the golf r being like cosworth was years ago! Hard to insure!
Or switch on gearbox? Mine has gone too. Try front wipers on and select reverse, if the rear wipe don't go as you select reverse it will be sensor on gearbox.
Yeah I don't use all my boost, mostly run around on 11 psi and now and again the odd 15psi. If I ran round at 21-24psi (320-350bhp) I would of posted this months ago, several times lol
Had my gearbox out today and sent to specialist , gearbox stripped down and removed a broken helical diff??
Rang quaiffe and they are itching to see it as it should not of happened. Strongest part of the gearbox broke first???
Carefull torquey turbo owners .
Now gutted as I have had it off the road for few month because if a oil return pipe leaking. Fixed and back on the road yesterday. Jesus I forgot how quick it was lol. Been using a Saxo vtr as my run around
Yeah it has a return fitted in top. Metal fitting. Not plastic. I would get a picture but I broke the car yesterday and it's gone to my brothers. Lost all drive? Drive shafts are fine. Could be clutch? Worst could be my helical diff? But that has warranty
I have removed my swirl pot/pump/filter from my car so it dont stink. I just don't need it. (Prob for sale?)
Anyway I have issues, the pump in tank is noisey? Prob normal?? Uprated one in tank from evo. (Rated 500bhp) and if I am lower than 1/4 tank I am not getting the fuel .
Anyone want to...
We all like to think our cars are the best. I have my own opinions on different models.
I like to think my Clio is prob going to be my fastest car, but give it 10 years and 300-400bhp will be normal! Lol
I want a golf r next, quality, comfort , some speed and a lazy dsg box . Heaven!
I could...
I must say the Clio is maxed out, you can't really tell what the type r is doing. So it's prob unfair.
I can't say I agree with the street racing as it looks close to something nasty happening. But they do a good comparison in most .

Sorry always loved the type r race, even when the type r get his power first Clio pulls it's self back
I normally find the foreigners do the best "vs " you tube videos
Or search old fifth gear tests?
TIFF and Plato are both closely matched, ( well I personally think tiff is one of the best drivers out there! He does it all good messing about with a smile lol)
If you drive a car to its limit...
Lol. It's not nice using saxo and not Clio, all because of a silly oil leak from turbo.
But I will say it sits at 70 Quieter and only visit petrol station once a month lol
I used to think that my astra turbo would be a bugger to change lol, then I bought a Clio turbo where it's near impossible without removing everything!
It's prob down to poor service? The vxr had 20k service intervals. Bit long for an oil change. I changed mine every 3k without fail. I used semi synthetic 10-40? Which vaux recommended. I was running 3.5 eds map. 270-280bhp 320-350lbft roughly. My turbo was a year old on stage 3, I upped to next...
You should send that away to eat AET for 360 bearings and twin seals buddy. Will last loads longer. Think it cost £150 mate. My turbo was done and was strong after 2years with no play. Will save you in long run. Some vxr turbos only last 6-12months for some reason on tuned cars
New servo fitted, problem was still there the. After a fair drive the brakes came back to normal ?? But all working now
Hope this helps in future,
Cheers
