bin the cap !!!

i use Silkolene Pro S 5W-40

best make of leads you can buy IMHO

get some Ferodo DS2000 pads off Ebay for the bargain price of £13.99 delivered you wont get a better pad unless your gonna spend 4x that on them, and they normally retail at about £35 plus delivery

a diagnostic even from Renault wont be £350 mate, there must be a garage near you that has some decent diagnostic gear ?

stick with 15's or 16's 17's will rub and generally be a pain in the arse

they are Bendix, thats a Ferodo 393 pad the Girling use a Ferodo 845 pad

definitely change the HT leads, while your at it change the dizzi cap and rotor arm aswell, when where your plugs last changed ? as for the engine tap, are you using Castrol Magnatec oil ?........if so, at your next change use something else

oh and id get rid of the cap basically they are good for the first beat, then after that they are useless and actually make your system less powerful, basically once the cap discharges it then has to charge itself up again, and where is it going to do that, your battery of course, robbing...

letting a battery go flat and charging it back up DOES do something to it a normal battery wont ever get back to 100% after its been run down flat, it might be 99% though, then the next time it might be 98% etc but it wont ever be 100% again i did a course on car audio, the only batteries...

ive got some different paint to do this again, as the stuff ive used isnt very durable

the girling ones DO mate its obvious from the pad anyway, in the above pic look in the middle of the caliper, just to the right of the spoke of the wheel, you see that little half metal ring with a hole in it, smaller than a 1p, if you can see that on yours, then yours are the Lucas/Girling...

an open induction kit will lose you power because of how hot the bay gets

did you buy it off Ebay by any chance for a fiver if its one of those things dont fit it

PE2's for me and ive had both

doin the inlet manifold next

interesting read

doesnt j3ned already do the conversion for less than that ?......or around that kind of figure

Hill Power, cant remember how much they were but they were really cheap

you can buy the DS2000 pads from Rally Design on Ebay for £13.99 delivered get those and a good set of discs and your sorted

im half way through doing it now DONT use the above paints, come off VERY easily, ive not got a few marks im gonna have to touch up im gonna have to redo the whole thing again in different paint eventually

the foam ones do filter better, as for airflow im pretty certain cotton gauze flows more, however ive got an ITG on my valver and im more than happy with it

yea will do, hopefully in an hour or 2

the mrs wanted me to do it fluro pink ! ive got some 449 in a tin but no way to spray it, plus, after fitting a new throttle body and cleaning that up with carb cleaner its come up a really clean silver, so i think this will brighten and clean up the bay nicely

plasti-kote metallic silver (621) and plasti-kote metallic sealer (628) if i was doing it again i might be tempted not to use the sealer as it has dulled the finish a little, pre sealer it was very bright metallic silver fitting it today !

both the navman and tom tom were on watchdog the other week, both got slated as being unreliable what about a Garmin ?

i dont think you could be further away from me if you tried, lookin good though mate im sure you will do well !

personally, Optimax........though i use it all the time and as above, the car needs to be well hot going in for the MOT, go for a proper drive before hand, at least 15 minutes or more

rubbish pics as it was going dark, ill post some more when its fitted and its lighter
