    exhasut back pressure

    What youre describing is a mismatch between that the ECU is expecting to see from its sensors and what actually "is"..... Pull the airbox off and a similar thing will happen...... Messing with flow rates either side of the engine will require a re-tune to make the most.

    Short Shift for 172 & Cup

    My experience of short shifts is nothing but positive (bad pun!). I spent £700 on the Schnitzer kit for my E46 S3 and it was worth every penny! K-tec will soon be receiving my order.......

    Strut Brace - Help Needed

    I think it may be my posting you were refering to?! re bolting and welding I had my local renault dealer drop the front suspension and do the job properly! (Its not as bad or time consuming as youd think) In my case it was bolting it in. Modern cars like the clio are disposable, they havent...

    Stopping a cup

    Mmmm, I have a Mk2 and pick up a cup next week. Ive checked over the brakes briefly and cant immediately see any differences. The brakes on the mk2 (and maybe the mk1??) are already laguna/megane parts. Id tend to agree that not having ABS (particularly when thats all youve ever driven) does...

    how do u install a Strut brace

    I would strongly advise against using any screws. You must bolt it in (or ideally weld) for there to be any benefit. In fact, youre openeing yourself up to danger by using screws, what happens when the threads give way, the strut lets go and youre hoofing round a bend? You (under extreme...

    Ive got strut braces and LOST my warranty

    Ive had the bottle replacement also! (on my mk2) my local Renault dealer also fitted both strut braces (properly! drop the suspension out and bolt them in.

    Short Shift for 172 & Cup

    OK, I got my act together and called them! Works perfectly, easy to fit on the cup (as with the mk2) made by B&M and k-tec are cheaper than demon tweeks :)

    Short Shift for 172 & Cup

    Out of interest, does anyone have a photo of the k-tec kit? Does it come with a new gear nob or can you just whack the original onto the linkage? Cheers :)
