i think you've ran out of oil

throttle bodies + cams = no use of OEM ecu

This could very well be it. My other car had your symptoms a little while back ; changed them and it turned out they were worn out and had a lot of play. Drives like new now

gearstick on these cars feels like your stirring a pan of soup

MAYBE they serviced the car before selling it to you and put in new oil... hard to see on the dipstick then as it's very clear stuff then. i hope this is the case anyway... check BEFORE filling up again !

Supposably the 182 all have the "RS" lower manifold which is good enough / alot better than the 172 lower manifolds. Not really worthwhile doing the 182 manifold matching , brings almost no improvements so i've heard/read

^^ right, when i got my NEW (RS) driverside mount the buffers had a couple of mm space each side to the cage. Interesting !

Colombo & Bariani cams !!!

I am also very interested if all 172 Cups have the RS stamped lower manifolds .. Anybody ?

i just made sure it was a big old fat one when i relocated mine to the boot.. do'nt know the specs though sorry

i know the top bhp can be reached with temps around 10c' .. can't help you how to translate that with rising + falling temperatures

this charger will be next on the list ; nice mod to look out to + start saving up for! All sounds to good to be true :approve: reliabel high power and gearbox friendly :cool:

Clutch related ? pressure group ? Could also be a mount ; when engine tilts/leans over you get the squeek ?

^^ yes, that's what i meant to say :D

^^ that's a proper job , even the body looks all pro

I think it will be there much earlier and not as heavy of a hit in torque. A turbo needs exhaust fumes to spool up untill it can release power so revs have to be made to get it spooling ; the charger will be spinning all along even at idle because it's belt driven

Re: f**kING RAGIN! !!!!! Have you checked to see if anybody has a window overviewing the parkinglot ? Maybe reseience or office ? I once had a motorbike stolen from me and i rang all people doorbells overviewing the spot where it was parked ; it got me the tip that there was a van parked...

^^ looking in my service history mine have been changed every 35k. First time was done by previous owner at 36k , i have just done them again at 70+k The mounts were'nt torn or broken, just felt a lot of engine movement and i want it TIGHT :eek:

That's a good find there ! Would they (Kangoo mounts) be a straight swap or is modifying needed ?

^^ I emailed Ben a while ago about this one; he will do it ofcourse when you want but it will cost around 500. And when looking at the Angelworks site, you see the pics of the reworked inlets.. Does'nt look like the ones he is selling ; i think this is the "cut-open" one in the pic.

^^ no problems yet Chris. It's just the first thing the best man working on my car said when he saw the gaskets we were going to use. Car is running , all is done ; cams , inlets, exhaust manifold. Only thing is that the idle goes funny, have to blip throttle to keep her going. At first i...

be very carefull parking your car (alongside the curbes) !!

How are peoples' findings on the thermal gaskets ? Anybody got a problem where they may have some leaking going on/false air coming in ?

^^ neither can i Chris ! I'm absolutely happy with the H&R's , they're safe when i go very unsafe ;) Loving the rideheight of his car though. I kept mine like this, how they came out the box ;

afraid not.. i have experienced that the knocking (only when wheelspin !) does'nt go away with new mounts all round !

Sounds great ! Let us know how long stuff lasts (before coming loose etc.)

^^ yep you'll have to modify your OEM cat for MOT, atleast i think.. mine needs to be anyway

^^ well that's it then :) next thread !

reading the blog, i noticed the adjustable pulleys that go with the cams. Are these also neccescary when running cams that should run fine on OEM (remapped) ecu ? I've just changed my cams but am now ondering if these pulleys would have been best to do alongwith the rest ? Or is this for...

^^ also yep Found this ; told you it was'nt cheap (to do right) and supposably not good for your nice Yozza system :( http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=366745&highlight=heat+wrap
