Mobile 1 :o - yeah i know this wont be helping if it is a part wearing prob :o At a rough guess 3 to 4 thousand miles ago it was changed. Think what i'll do is get my mate to lend me the oil pressure tester and do the solenoid thing and replace the oil with some Silkoline Pro. See how...

Forgot to say its not too bad on start up its when its warmed up it can be heard the most

Cheers Is the solenoid the plug that goes into the rocker cover right below the map sensor?

Mmm so really its just a case of finding out if its the cams or this dephaser.. Is there any external way of testing to confirm which it is without having to take the engine to bits? Its always been a bit of a lumpy engine as Andy and anyone who's seen it will confirm. lol Very happy with the...

Here's the spec of the Pipers: http://www.pipercams.co.uk/NewPiperWeb/redesign/05cams/renault_cam.pdf So if it is the lifters if i carry on driving it what would happen worse case scenario?

This is what im worried about. Dont want to be folking out for a cambelt kit and new dephaser only to find its cam connected once its all been put back together. Running gears had a good innings with it sitting on 115k and modded more than 50% of its life. Just unsure of the next...

Majority of the things listed are general wear and tare. Could happen on a car half that mileage..

Its very hard to pin point where the sounds coming from but its as much over the cam pulley area as it is further towards the right of the engine

Leave it to the experts. Too easy to go wrong doing it yourself unless you know what your doing and have all the correct tools My mate was telling me today one of the lads who works with him at a garage wont even do the belts himself its such a pig of a job!!

Can only really hear it on idle and say to 30mph ish. Higher up the rev range cant hear a thing

I use Loctite seal stuff from Halfords. Not sure what product number it is without looking

Not sure but i found it a while back lol The user was called Hiatch, something like that :)

Thought there was something wrong for a while but recently its got worse. Going by the other vids it sounds imo like the dephaser pulley but what worrys me is the noise is coming from the top of the engine between ports 1 and 2 of the plenum. Does the dephaser noise ''travel'' or would it be...

Jack the back box right up against the floor and bolt and adjust it all up. The weight will drop it down a bit so it shouldnt knock. Also use the pipes into the rubber mount method. Just needs tweeking and you'll be fine

Theres a guide on how to relocate it in the members area.

Good to hear its still in progress. Was thinking maybe the findings were poor and it was all ditched

Im still on the original mounts from new at 115k mileage area :o

Ditch the arch carpets dont be gay :rasp: ;)

Exactly the reason why our insurance is so high.. :rolleyes: Cant blame folk tho when theres free money to be had in this claim culture yank based society. Clio stood up very well. As long as your ok mate or just about thats the main thing. Could a been a lot lot worse

When is the best time to change gear on a quarter? Right at the point of your peak power or just prior to the rev limiter?

Going by the picture the pipes look a different bore size so this could explain the increased step in the old one?

Im running Pipers re-grinds with other mods and it pulls very well indeed from really low down without having to rev the tits off it thats why i was asking about Freds 240bhp motor and what it was like lol - Peak powers not too hot on paper compared to most but the torques very good IMO tho...

Good power that but are they driveable at low rpm? Too high a duration for a road car would you say ?

No way did you even slightly think it could work :eek: :dead:

So going by the performance stats on the Mazi, Clio must be a mid to low 13 second quarter miler on the strip Pretty good going :cool:

Take it thats the Jesus guys one ?

Big 4 page spread in one of the race car mags which backed up the vid. They did all the rolling road tests etc etc and found there was differences between the higher grades let alone comparing against unleaded.

Probably more reliable but for out and out power a stage 5 set up would take some beating.

It dosent matter what the figure is, it wont be accurate really ;)

Why would you put a Eaton on a G40 ? :S - thats terrible like
