That isn't very good for K-tec or GDI

The original question was concering water in the engine. If it rains there is no issue with the CAf in the grill / fog light. Also, you would have to go through a VERY deep puddle for the water to travel up the CAF, through the air box and into the engine!

yeh, Silicon or firegum type stuff on the meeting faces will be fine, didn't even put the gasket on one end as it was mangled and I didn't have a new one.

You get 7bhp more from Synthetic too, maybe that's the difference you're feeling?

Unless you have access to a ramp and a trusty friend to hand I'd pay the £30 or whatever and get an exhaust place to fit it - JD

No performance tyres should last long, hence why they offer so much grip

I am a big user of F1's, but have had some T1r's fitted recently and while not quite as good, still excellent tyres and much better than Contisports and P-Zero's (Of which I've also used). For the price, T1r's are excellent

Yeh, unless you want to put a crappy velcro one on it's a drive shaft out job - worth the extra effort though. Not too difficult

Should be a new forum rule - If someone asks for something and someone else can find it in 1 search attempt then the person asking should be banned forever

lol. Can't wait to get mine back, expecting good things!

haha I'll come see that!

I've got GDI exhaust, looks really smart with the 182 cut out

H 75mm X W 150mm if I remember correctly (which would make sense seeing as its a semi circle. Best this to do it cut smaller and take your time so it fits perfect, too big and it's messed up totally!

Fitting isn't too difficult, your mate sounds like he knows what he's doing so get him to fit it, else any garage can do this sort of work.

Yeh Cambelt and Pulleys, Aux belt and water pump - Most of the specialists (GDi, Yozza, Ktec, RSTuning etc) charge £450 - £500

As long as you have a friend to help on the engine bay end it takes about 1/2 - 1 hr. Ramp access made it easier though!

Get it done NOW - last week my engine went bang because of Cam belt tensioner pulley failure - was just 5 yrs old and 43k miles!

I'll give you £100?

Sounds a little vague that does! I mean, if the parts were all seized up and not flowing properly you'd be losing power? You want the engine to not be overcoming it's own issues! I know what you're saying, a light quick reving engine isn't producing as much torque (think motor bike / F1) but...

naievity lol. I'm having my engine rebuilt so the head work is costing next to nothing so might as well get it done. Of course Decat makes a difference (have you even cut one open?!), and seeing as I got one for £60 was well worth it! Yes I know TB's or Turbo get more torque, but I want...

Yeh but the GDi 1500quid doesn't include port/polished head or decat which should give it a little bit more? Especially if I get live remap from RSTuning.

Hi What would you expect to see from: Panel filter Matched inlet Port/polished head 428 Cat Cams Decat Performance Exhaust Remap This is on a 172. Maybe someone has similar mods so can comment on driveability too? Thanks Tom

No money then, lots now :) I can't go running to Renault with my matched inlet, decat exhaust and remap!

Mine is 4 1/2 yrs, 43k miles. Not a tit for not being able to afford it! lol. As for damage, not too bad just valves. Gives me an excuse to get the cams I want and some head work :) Should run better than ever after!

So, I couldn't afford the cam belt change in the summer so was going to wait till after Christmas and guess what? Tensioner pully failed, belt skipped a few teeth and bam - one engine in need of work! Lesson to all - Change the cam belt before it is required to save future costs! Tom

I have this, doesn't start first time but stop and try again and ALWAYS fires up perfectly second try. Tends to happy more in wet warm mornings, cold doesn't seem to be an issue.
