cheers cuptastic, does anyone know about the CD Changer CHM-5630 and weather it will play CD-Rs?

im considering the following alpine CD players - CD-E 7860r £138 inc VAT + P&P - CD-M 7871r £148 inc VAT + P&P - CD-M 7872rb £160 inc VAT & P&P will they all play CD-rs? is one miles better then the others? bearing in mind i will be using it with front compontnts only as i can have rear...

someone sle said this, that early 16vs have no lmba or 5th injector, but "my early 16v ECU" is a 1992 and comes with a lamba and a 5th injector for cold start, ben your new 16v will have the same ECU anyway, so im planning to sit back and let you do the research! have you got it yet?

i have a williams engine running off a chipped early phase 1 16v ECU. What i want to know is does the early phase 1 16v ECU (Early ECUs are differnt from later ones) does it controlling the fueling via the chip or the lamba sensor at part throttle? Im pretty sure at WOT the chip does it...

on the face of it, i have heard the 1600 16v engines is a flyer with big potential, but i cant see it being an easy conversion at all, everything is differtn ages and differnt cars, what would be a very easy conversion is a 1.8 8v from a 5 door RT, might give you a bit more poke and will be...

if you went to williams spec the pistons are about £80 each, crank about £500, but on top of that you would need the rings and lots of other little fidly bits that you proably wont be aware of till you do the swap, also the machiening of the inside of the short block to make the crank clear...

i changed an anti-roll bar bush on my 16v with an OE renault one and it was apig to fit because in renults infinet wisdom they had not left enough thread sticking out the bottm, needed two of us to compress the sting so i could get the thread showingto get the nut on, on most cars this is a five...

push rod 1400 8v nice! ;) Ask NickG1234 about big BHP R5GTT reliabaility. the 350BHP R5 was the twin engined 4wd one wasnt it? hardly a fair comparison, the power delivery on a big power R5GTTT engine is going to be brutel not progressive like the n/a F7P (the turbocharged F7P will be...

thats the ones bardley, they do look great if a little bit big, i will let you know how i get on fitting, but its only plastic to plastice so it cant be that difficult

your missing the point still, see the knobbles on the inide face of the lense, the VAG ones i have bought ar flat glass both sides, like a window (without the obscured glazing that the others have) £75 a pair the had better be right! and yes they are too big and need to be modifing to fit

with the greatest of repect your flogging a dead horse. The 5 dr is most valuable in standard form (almost all car are) the money you are spending on suspension and brakes would fund the differnce in insurance. your right any car can be good with the money spent, loook at the top gear lotus...

thats not what i mean, the latest VAG ones are flat face clear plasric both sides, i ordered mine today from audi, ill see whats involved in fitting as they are designed to fit in recessed wings, but 16v/williams wings are fibre glass anyway which is very easy to change

good responce daz, well done for not throwing the rattle out the pram is i did. I had a Mk3 fiesta 1.6S with an XR2i bodykit and big wheels, weve all been there, but believe me when your insurance is reasonable, performance is the way to go!

i think he means like a flat glass finish eaither side so it is transparent, only late golfs and VAG cars have them, earlier "new" golfs have the ones that are knobbly plastic on the inside so they appear white/clear, i did measure the new proepr clear ones and they a larger then my 16v...

Daz, you drive a base model clio, i wasnt even going to respond to your post but...... If the conversion is easier with a donar car then surely it your attention would be better focused on the donar car. The alternative is swapping absolutly everything (e.g rear quaters) onto the base model...

LOL?

buy a valver, it will be far less trouble and alot cheaper to buy and get on the road and worth far more when you sell it, and people wont think your driving a crappy RT. just one person opinion, but its just not a straight forward conversion, and there are nice enough valvers about for £2k if...

run that past me again? are they are no use in the glove box?

what fluid ben? can i get away without braided hoses? they seem expensive for what they are, my car isnt that hard prressed in reality i just need a cost effective replacment for my crappy Black diamond pads and OE discs, with uprated parts if needed?

which are the best pads ben? was it Mintex? i was going to get the rally design discs but i dont know what pads to get for my enthusiastic road driving, bearing in mind i did get brake fade for what ever reason (fluid or discs) and never want to experience it again!

the early clio 16v ECUs are different from later ones, but that is all i know, my "early" 16v ECU is running a complete williams 3 engine with just the hill power fueling chip, but there is one left over plug just buy the throttle body, never found what it did and never had a problem, i assuming...

anyone know where they should be set? what distance from the wall and what hieght diffewrnce in relation to the headlights themselves? my off side headlight is too far down but i dont know how far i can get away woth adjusting them up?

in a large car spares place the only stats i could get were smaller in overall diameter, is it definitly a 5 turbo stat? 82? in the end i replaced mine with a brand new OE williams one but it still runs hot all the time, and because i replaced the rad fanm switch the fan is coming on all the...

yes i got it all, are you interested i can leave it with you for a while?

has anyone looked into or even had thier standard throttle body modified on thier F7P or F7R, i have a spare so i could get someone to have a stab at it reasoanlby cheaply, obviously it would need coupling with other mods keep it consistant, My thinking is, what benefit would be had where a...

didnt have the filer means - couldnlt be bothered! what size is the square sump plug? i thoguth it was 10mm but on re thinking i believe this might be wrong, Brun you must know this.

where can the resistor be bought? is it renault only?i will have a look at getting the oldone out and try and source one from an electrical place for sensible money, i think the heater will still work as it is currently without the ressitor in place unless its forming the circuit?

wheh you are in real trouble is when there is no water because the temp gauge and air from heaters goes cold

flushing is easy enough, use the two stage holts treatment, try your best to flush the worse of any deposits out from the heater matrix as this is the bit you really dont want to damage, especialy if rad weld etc has been used, also dont leave it empty for ay legth of time, and depostits will...

right this has been done before but to get a good comparrision we need to eliminate as many other variables as possible, so therefore if everyone posts how many miles they do/can/have got out of thier valers and williams from being totally full to when the light has come on constantly (but not...
