Hi can any one tell me what coilover this is based on part number 900 1004? I've asked kw but waiting on email back. I know there for a Clio but I'm not sure if they are the inox or not? Cheers

mine were fine, cleaned up both mating faces before fitting and they were totaly fine, on 3 clios all used on track

Thats purely your own doing there, the part wasn't defective in anyway, you were. An inability to use a torque wrench or basic socket set by the looks of it.

i have one bucket seat so that if i need to i can bang the baby seat in and the passengers don't have to face the same discomfort i do on long drives

I Duno I'm begining to hate it, if you pootle about it's just tappy but rev it right up and let off and it's defo a rattle clatter sound butit sounds top end rather than bottom end, ffs inthink I might just try dropping another engine in rather than drive it till it dies

Ok cool, does anyone known the clearances for the tappets? Might need a tweak along with another oil change with some thicker stuff.

Have got myself a daily Clio dynamique with the 1.2 16v engine, it needed a bit of work including head gasket cam belt and water pump before I could use it. It's all up and running now but sounds a little tappy? Is this normal for the engine, gets louder when warm and high revving tho once hot...

Ahh cool, cheers bud I think I can work with that

Does anyone have to hand the torque settings for the cam caps on the 1.2 16v engine please?

Adapter plate was used last time I spoke with him, this carvwill be in the 9s this year

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Its an rtoc event but you can by tickets on the day as far as I'm aware

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Looks good bud, 1st of July, coming to pod then? Guna break her in on the strip?

I see where your going bud yeah tho to make that boost at them revs I think you'd be overspeeding the sc by loads, tho there are many different types of blower, others might be suitable. Also pressure is restriction to flow so 10psi on that pulsar engine might actually be the same flow as 4psi...

Does make me laugh that most people who throw money at there cars and don't actually do the work think the tuning companies are the be all and end all, I'd put money on there being more faulty/failed/blown up tuner built cars than diy

in the nicest way possible and without trying to start anything to major but the diy boys always push the boundaries and find the limits and thats why there are faliures, but if you look and see the diy boys are always putting out more than the "companies" stevieh is the perfect example with the...

thats what im saying it doesnt create a restriction at low rpm, its only at high rpm that it becomes one so no need to have a variable one that only cuts in at high revs.

iris setup wouldnt help as the restirction is only one at high flow so actually has no/very little effect at low speed/rpm.

variable vanes in the turbo work by adjusting the exhaust side not the inlet, it directs the exhaust gasses over the wheel differently. the way i do it is spool the sc fast and then limit the air it can draw in.

yeah to a point tho remember its direct revs vs flow. you can fit a small pully and have loads of boost low down, what happens when you get to 7200rpm? your probably spinning the sc faster than it was designed. you need to pick your boost level you want the pick a pully to deliver that at your...

mines reliable?

its all to do with how its delivered and when its delivered in the rpm range. its a tuff one to explain but a sc running 10psi will hit full boost at top revs so delivering linear torque (constantly trying to make more and more power as its flow is based directly to revs), a turbo one will chuck...

some last and others dont, my other clio used to bounce at 7800 with bodies and 428s all day long and never batted an eye lid, ive not tried to go past stock revs with this one tho

wow, thats a fricking mess!

goes well bud, gota be in the 5secs to 60 an pulls like a train top end. shame the response to most on here who ask about the 1.6 engine is to swap it out for an f4r

awesome

see for me i like to find the limit of things before i go to the next step, im going to see if i can go for 300 for a while on the stock lump, if it blows it blows if not its all fun. depends what you want, i see the fun in going all out forging it then blowing it and having it all there...

how do you know where the reliable level is without pushing the boundaries?, so how long till its on the road and running the final figure?

i need to get to brunters for a run, i may have seen a gps 150 with revs left to go and it got there quite quick. would act be nice to see what it could do

i like your style, 300bhp on stock internals with a sc? do it

mines fine, engines on 100k and still going strong and as bomber said we run more power than the normal kits. i have done one gearbox but the curent one seems to be holding up well, the last one was an unknown when i fitted it, this one i striped and put back together myself. i use mine everyday...
