i was told 20-22 by rentech when they done the cambelt, the car did run like a bag of s**t, miss fired quite alot could'nt idle properly and various other things but i thought it was ment to be like that after searching loads on here everyone said they wer lumpy :S but obviously there was a...
it WAS 22 degrees out mark ive had it all timed up along with a new cambelt and dehpaser
and jimbo thats what i was thinking the car is nearly 10 years old and is still running a little over standard power so cant be doing to bad surely
but might get it mapped just to waste some money and see...
Went to the k-tec rolling road today was a good turn out there was loads of cars the some big power was run as well :)
had mine run and it run .....
its a bit down on what i wanted but thats life,
the person at k-tec said it was running quite lean and was also a tiny bit smoky which he put...
That's the idea was wondering of anyone had sizes ?
Sorry to be so un-clear,
Do u have any mesurements tony ?
Or am I better buying the cheap camber shims and then getting the sizes from them ?
Was woundering if any one has the rear sizes or any mesurements for the rear axle ?
Looking to get some 8-10mm spacers made by a local metal workshop, that bolt between the rear axle and the brake setup ?
Any info please comment or pm me
Cheers dan
i used auto glym engine cleaner and the used bery high temp paint
yer indeed it is, it actually isnt that bad thought it would be worse than it is
i used halfords high temp black and silver paint, and used news paper to mask up bits i didnt want sprayed.
cheers for all the good comments as well
Well last night fancied tidying the bay up and sorting out a miss fire which i believe was one of the ignition leads,
i started by taking the plenum off and de-greasing the rockor cover and then spraying with high temp silver paint, and then doing the plenum at the same time,
heres a few pics...
I'm struggling to diagnose my problem, only get a miss fire when it's either rained very very heavy and
Theres loads and loads of spray or when it's raining heavy on the motorway :/
I just got it a minute a go, but then went for a drive a bit later and it still done it only around 4k , but...
the ship ? wheres that ? i do often go up there.
also forgot to say now getting a knocking noise, i believe it to be the regular sub frame knocking but i have both poli bushed dog bone mount and solid engine mounts so not to sure what it could be :/
just a little video nothing special just after being fitted,
also it actually isnt that loud i have a rough db reading and was 80/83 on tick over and at 4500 with no load it was 95-97db's
i spoke to someone there as well and he said it was that loud he said it will pass a few track rules but be too loud for others, and it is only the back box pipe which is bigger the actual system is the same so dnt really think it will be much louder than jewon172's
