Could be a dodgy earth

Parada's are equally as good grip wise on the road and last a lot longer than 888's plus are cheaper. From a road use point of view the only advantage a 888 has over a Parada is the stiffer sidewall. I found the levels of grip to be the same if not better with the Parada's

This engine mapping thing is a dodgy old game.

I bought my 182 manifold including 182 cat for £230 from ebay. Sold the cat and got a couple of mates to fit it. Total cost bought and fitted plus modded decat roughly £250 ish Breakers yards are the best bet as there's loads of 182's about now. Ebay for the long shot and local Ad Traders...

I thought this was a bumped up topic when i first read it :eek: Apex arnt that hard a ride. Think it all depends on your sexuality tho :rasp:

I Swore by F1's until recently trying Parada's. The Yoko's feel on another level compared plus are a tad cheaper (mk1 172 195/50) Wont be going back to F1's for a while

Do injectors have a life span?

Think of all the Clio Sport models your picking the slowest probably least fun example. If you want fun go for a Cup followed by a mk1 172 then a Trophy. If the car is a decent one owner example the owner will have had all the wee rattles ironed out just like any other car. TBH yes it...

Lads done a good job on that, i like. Least its better than plastic body kitted tat you see on every street corner.

Smart arse :clown: :rolleyes: Its a well known fact that you get a kick at roughly 5k

Could have sworn it was single cat on ph1's with the last batch of ph1's being double cat

So technically if Cliosporters could somehow upgrade the 3 bar would it be possible to eliminate this rough cold running problem?? Surely there's a way to bypass it or upgrade?

^^^Yeah it just needs the map perfecting fella. I got a bloke to map my smt6 when i had it and he got the idle just spot on. Shame the rest of the map was crap lol Is this cold splutter not all down to the MAP sensor ??? **Apologies for bumping the thread up

Cant really go wrong. The bung fits into the manifold only one way and the main washer is recessed to fit (flat edge)

Must be. Rollers seem a bit out but its still not too far off the cars factory output? Take it the car is bog standard apart from the map??

http://www.ramair-filters.com/calc.html 94.9 KW = 128bhp :S (must be at the wheels?) Thats down on standard is it not ??

yeah by jacking the car up and looking underneith but if you read his first post he said the AA man didnt check ! Any AA man worth is salt would not start a car if he suspected the cam belt was away! :eek: Going by the loss of power with no warning lights and the starter problem its pretty...

I think you should get a 2nd opinion. Bearings usually humm and whine not rub Sure you havent got a broken front spring ?

Sounds like its brake related as bearings whine usually and over a period of time Wrong pads? , piston sticking ? pads just bedding in?

Lads i know have gone to ATS for their tracking done and highly recommend them

very Bugger of a job to do so best left to the Dealers to fix Aux belt usually takes the cam belt with it in a lot of cases

Reading his posts it sounds as though its his Auxilary belt thats snapped not his cam belt. You cant see a cambelt unless you take the top mount off so how would he no its not there ;) maybe?? lol

If it was the vacum pipe that had come off he'd have no brakes

haha quality Where did you get them made up at ??

Same as Too chav looking on any other colour imo

Try the Parada's. Far better tyre and value for money. http://www.rtecshop.com/index.php?p=product_view&product_id=7662

Who's to say it isnt your other mods making the real difference ;) Like someone already said, the only real proof is to get a standard car and do a before and after.

I pm'd a lad on here a year back who had a enlarged Jenvey TB fitted and he claimed it made bugger all difference. Going by the fact tuners arnt exactly falling over themselfs to promote a larger TB on a 172/182 this would certainly match up to the reports of it not worth messing about with

Check out the intake track and notice, no 90 degree restrictive bends :evil:
