    braided brake hoses

    if im doing the group N discs and pads is it really worth changing the lines for braided steel ones? they seem expensive for what they are (£40) maybe if i just use OE ones the will be as good. I will be using maxtorgue discs, mintex pads, and 4.1 fluid, Does this sound like the best steup?

    Converting from 1.8 to 2.0 bottom end

    there is a uni chip for sale in my local free ads, £150 and it suggest its interchangable with any fuel injected car. you would be best with the williams stage 2 chip ither wise you will be underfueling, the injectors are the same, but you might need to adjust/replace the fuel pressure...

    Flames

    mine pops and spits the odd flame under heavy acceleration on the gear change, it good, the old 16v lump on the standard chip used to pop and spit alot more (too much) after the cat as taken out, now with the williams engine and the hill power chip it isnl;t as bad, guess the fueling is more...

    16v front wheel bearings

    i paid £45 from Renault "before" the prices cuts, but having said that i would be suprised if the wheels bearings were affected in price, the other option is going to a specialst bearing manufacturer and they will sell you an identical bearing far cheaper but....... you need the bearing in your...

    Cracked Sump! Any ideas

    if they damaged it then they should replace it, but.. a cracked sump is not that difficult to fix, the garage sounds like a bit of a carp un, do you mind me asking what you had done for £2.5k? i just cant see how a garage bill can amount to that much

    Going back to Phase II wheels on my 16v!

    Ben couldn;t agree more, keep it original, shame the P2 wheels come on the R19, unlike the P1s which are a real cult wheel! they arent pretty but they are specific to that car and thats why they will stay on my car forever! but it wont get any less annoying when people say "nice car, shame it...

    Converting from 1.8 to 2.0 bottom end

    buy it and save it for a rainy day, remeber you will have a fair few bit left over to sell when the swap is done, i couldn;t afford it but its worth it in the long run. if your going to do it sooner or later you might as well do it now and get the use out of it, rather then get some money...

    Converting from 1.8 to 2.0 bottom end

    i think we are getting confused here, there are two ways of going to 2 ltrs, both need the willy chip (£160) A - buy a 2 ltr bottom end from a F7R (either willy or early megan 2.0 16v) then you just need the starter, (the crank is all part of the bottom end, its not simply the crank casing...

    i fuked right off, i typed a big reply and the stupid thing was lost when i tried to post, (not the first time i have had this problem!:@) its not a difficult job, you certainly dont need a re-mappable ECU, any mechanic worth thier weight in straw could do the swap, provided they can fit a cam...

    Converting from 1.8 to 2.0 bottom end

    dont pay more then £400, you should replace everything while its out and easy to get at, i.e cam belt, tensioners, mounts, etc etc, allow £200 for these bits from GSF, and the williams chip is about £150 form Hill power, the starter is about £90, so you could have the whole lot done for a...
