interference fit like i said...pull out.

ahhh......that 309, gorgeous car. And i still dont know why people love the 205, the 309 is far superior in its handling. And with the Mi16 lump in it...jesus, lovely car. Astra.....erm, nice engine lol.

in what car?

lol.....that must be alot then! Im not to worried about the whole, cold start rag thing.....much more worried of temp and pressure on track, eventhough its probably far less important.

i only really look or monitor when its freezing cold, and most of th etime on track to keep an eye on everything. NOthing major, just handy.

if you swap each wheel over the outer will still be in its correct placing, no need to take tyres off.

oil temp and pressure are very handy gauges.

no... you can warm up the coolant far faster than the oil. BUT, if your engine is warm and youve been driving constantly, then oil and water temps will be around the same, start ragging it and the oil temp will shoot up to as much as 20-30 deg hotter than coolant.

Agree with Jay as that is what happens. CTS @ 80c

you can do that.

THe cup racers run std cams, the larger TB iirc was from renault sport as part of a racing series where it was allowed.

ive already read the particualrs of the F4R730, injection blah blah, and it doesnt give too much info on the operating ranges, jsut above 1300 and in a really weird way......@ WOT. whoever wrote it needs common sense.

Anyway, yes.....Roamer is.

Kit, why do you need a kit though, all the parts are out there....and its not alot to collect.

freaking odd, ive only even checked the pahsing point, 1250 or so 1300, and i didnt check for any dephasing. And then the Renault literature didnt say anything of a dephase either. lol

no problemo, just want to get it sorted before im out on track again.

swap the fronts with what? eachother?

Oops, was gonna reply to this but went offline. Anyway, as far as steel H or I section rods go, youll have to get some made up for roughly 600 quid +VAT. Cams are available but not a very large selection and nothing really that wild due to the chillcast, hollow blanks they use, not everybody...

Ok, clear it up then we can drop it, phases @ WOT @ 1300 then dephases back to the 16 deg retarded position after 4500? This sounds odd.

jesus..............

oh, thought he said he used 6ltrs every 3-4k. *note to self, read posts* lol

not a bugger at all. Any normal funnel with extendable/bendable bitty witty thing will fit straight into the hole. Not all Dealers keep this stuff in stock, and most of the time will fob you off with 75w90 stuff that they got barrels of. Infact Some 75w90 synthetic is fine.

any info on those tools matey?

Im not doubting its there to increase torque, but im argueing its not its primary function. And the rpm operating zones kinda show this. @ WOT from 1300rpm it would be making more torque in an unphased state, port velocities arent high enough to make use the overlap. And are you saying it...

rather have the head worked on rather than new cams or itll just get more peaky.

there is no choke, its a FBW throttle and the ECU controls its openings inline with what the driver commands.

about 1200-1500 assuming your doing the fitting of parts yourself.

If it reads and supplies incorrect info to the ECU, the ECU in term will supply incorrect fueling.

colant temp sensor

you cna check your lambda supply voltages with a multimeter if you wish. when hot it should be around the 0.5v mark
