Found this hinding covered in dust in a barn,still attached to its box, along with many other lost items (Yes it does belong to someone lol)
Is this engine anything decent?
Not up to spec on Jap engines :o
Following on from my last thread, whats peoples opinions on noise levels with ITB filters?
Im using Ktecs filter at the mo, made my ITG, and to be honest, iv lost a lot of noise :( In fact on part throttle its hard to hear them at all, and its not got the same bark as it did before with a flat...
As above, can anyone with ITB's tell me what filter they are running;
Socks?
Sausage filter?
Gauze(sp) filter?
Plus any other
Also whats better in your own opinion?
Only ITB owners please, standard filters/induction kits need not apply (No offence)
Dad's got a Y reg 2001 1.0 Micra.
When he got it, it could barely move under its own steam, unplugging the air mass meter made it run but stall, so i got a new air flow meter and that solved the running problem, apart from the idling.
Basically it revs itself on idle, and the revs also can...
Ths is my mates new drift car, was out Yesterday at Combe, but wasnt to its full potential due to the steering rack bolts coming loose :S

Some of you may have read me talking about this,
This is for Passat 1998-2005 all models
The problem that happens is the seal around the pollen filter perishes, the water then runs down past the pollen filter, and down the air ducts.
This then floods the passenger footwell.

My other halfs 52 plate Focus ST170 has just started making a really funny noise, the easiest way i can explain it, is its a slow rotation noise and from inside the car it sounds like a plunger sucking off something over and over :S
Iv traced the noise to this box that bolts to the bulkhead...
Iv always been under the impression with Clio's that its not worth doing this, as the rear end is so light, and as the rears barely do anything anyway.
Any track go'ers ever had any problems with rear brakesand upgraded?
Thanks :)
Its OMP, and recessed, its perfect for me but getting a little worn so i would like to replace it
I think it may be a WRC, but all the pictures i see look different to mine?

Need the space now so dropped the price a bit, would make a great track car, goes really well

Iv not been on too much lately, the Clio so far has done 300 miles this year, and eventually after 143k something went wrong with it!
Ever since iv started selling cars iv been using whatever iv had, but a few weeks ago i planned on taking the Clio to work, but she fired up on 3 cylinders...
For a while (as some of you know) i have been having no end of trouble with my engine mounts.
I have always found them to be too weak, even though iv had 3 brand new sets from Renault, including all new nuts, bolts and studs.
(I will also state now i have had the mounts all checked to make...
Iv started selling cars part time and iv just grabbed two little bargains:
Pics of this are coming later:
