having just read another post it might be worth finding out if you have an EBD, i didnt think you got these but someone said all clio 2 ph2 have them, is yours a clio 3?

lol BenR i have techy talk ready for your reply...you know you love all that :P

ah you were the one that posted about that a while ago! i cannot think why it is doing this, if you are mechanically minded you could try what i suggested in the other post and look inside your drums (you will need a new hub nut for each drum you take off, and a whole lot of torque to...

uh huh!

you dont have a bias valve, the rears will not lock before your fronts.

you might lock the front wheels!

shows my blinkered experience, have never seen an engine before thats not crossflow (is that the name for inlet one side, exhaust other going across head?). both manifolds on same side here? whats that design like from a tuning aspect? also noticed that the CCs arent perfect domes, sort of semi...

then no valve to change bias...

i would be put off by anyone that claims that much, theyll be the customers getting business off people who know no better - get one with realistic claims, i see that as a good sign of their worthiness.

ah bless!nice one mate,could have been the perfect neigbours episeode there!

genius!

potentiometer

fitting larger wheels wears bearings much faster. to test, jack the car up and grab the wheel at top and bottom. try to move it - if you get much play then most likely its down to bearings, but you can eliminate it by getting someone to hold the brake pedal down. Also hold wheel at 3 and 9...

just thinking about it, i suppose when you start insternal work on any car you should set yourself a limit to what you are going to do, and as long as the person with cthe cash is realistic about it and knows what he/she is likely to be able to compete with (if thats their aim) then you cant...

no but in general because of the lower capacity of a 1.2 you have to get the engine to do approx 50% more revolutions to combust the same amount of mixture that a 1.8 can do (as std). interesting point about saving the valver money then getting an evo, i suppose you could then say i wont mod...

ok just done some reading up on it (sh*t im bored) and it seems the box oil used can be a very slight factor. too frictionless an oil and the time taken for the gears to spin up to the right speed to allow change is increased. also something about "shear rates"? however, it is also meantioned...

good question, would be the same for any car though in principle. its called transmission loss, but i dont know anything about it...

dont you have to clear the fault code from memory, seem to remember that they dont go even after changing the faulty component?

can it be the ICV if the problem is also there driving at low revs too? perhaps road speed sensor. get it on a diag machine and find out for sure.

yeah but what return would you get on that? sure youve learnt a lot if you have done all the mods yourself but if you are just gonna throw mony at a garage then whats the point? it wont be as quick as a valver, you will have to rev the sh*t out of it to get decent power which is both dangerous...

yes only have brake bias valve on rear disc cars. as your handbrake has to move up further this can only mean that either your shoes have moved further away from the shoe( the auto-adjuster should stop this) or your handbrake cable has stretched (unlikely) or your shoes have suddenly worn...

its joe...

MAP sensor, a leak in either manifold meaning low pressure?

how does the engine detect load, and what is it measured in? or is it just given a value of say between 0 and 5?

oh one other question - what are the axes (plural of axis?!) on a 2d map (throttle position and engine speed?), and 3d map?

I am getting to grips with all things car at the moment before i start to experiment with engines etc. I am looking at the ECU at the moment, and just need to make sure i understand everything it does: Has an ignition map stored (2D on std, 3d usually if aftermarket) Takes readings from...

still managed to choke it first time i used it at 3k!

yes, but in short bursts or youll stall the engine. zedx - works on both systems

aint seen him on there for a while now?

or if we all put in a fiver that would only need 160 members to get their money!
