i saw a bit about all this the other day. they were calling it the "facebook virus" or "koobface worm" don't know if that will help any?

is it possible that the tdc sensor could have been damaged?

i'd imagine that in laymans terms, soft to rock hard would translate into "a greater range of adjustment" this is good because you can use a greater range of springs without having to send your dampers off to be re-valved.

loads of s**t in mine at the moment:D[IMG] http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr254/drhowser/037.jpg

205 50 15, michelin pilot sport cups please?

i think he was lucky to catch that too, didn't look settled at all. but in control or not, driving like that on the road, he deserves to bin it.

i'm still holding out for the new corrado....

i'd agree with that too fred, just seems more fluid if that makes sense. i'll let you have a go once it is all finished:cool:

have you used the competiton stuff from kw fred?

they are easy enough to change, but have the car plugged in first! you could end up spending a load of money you don't need to!

if there is a lambda fault it will run rich. mine sounded exactly like the video and was a lambda. there are plenty of things it could be though.

it's definately not a new bolt anyway. sbv, are you thinking it is one of three that hold the pulley on?

i thought the fuel rail bolts were torx sockets? that does look like a fairly substantial bolt however, so i'd definatley be trying to find out where it has come from! try to have a look at all the pulleys for sure.

no need for pics tbh, keys will be fine....

no worries fella, could be any number of things to be honest, but it does sound like lambda. i'd be suprised if the exhaust came with new sensors, but it is possible that taking them out of the old exhaust could have caused some damage. they can be a b**ch to get out. best thing to do is...

about £70/80 i think. have a look on ebay and call a couple of garages. i would have the car plugged in before buying anything though.

what is your mpg like? if it is a lot lower than normal, i'd go for a lambda sensor.

yup, true. have to say though, i tend to run slightly softer pressures once the weather gets s**t. same as a "wet" setup. *did you get the stickers by the way joe?*

now thats a good idea! jerry cans ftw!

also cold air is denser so will need more fuel to keep the ratio correct. don't know if it would show on the mpg. a lot of people comment on how their car seems to pull harder on crisp mornings though.

no worries at all fella. basically, if you had limitless power, you are correct. increasing the wheel size (gearing) will give you a higher top speed, but at the cost of reduced acceleration. if you have sufficient power, then the reduced acceleration will not matter- you would just open the...

try speaking to leeP86, he has just fitted one. might be able to help?

i don't have any myself, but put "clio cup race car" into google images and your wish shall come true:cool:

i'm sorry if i sound harsh, but what is the point asking questions if you won't listen to the answers?

i was just about to say they would look good on a mk1:approve:

so you are calculating that longer gearing will put more power down? if so would that not increase the chances of wheelspin.. why not get a set of lightweight 15's and save 100% weight thereby creating the worlds first zero-g car. why not put 20" wheels on a caterham and break the speed of...

thats correct, but i have you ever managed to hit the limiter in 5th?

longer gearing. sadly also 1980's diesel acceleration:dapprove:

iirc. a 50/15 has the same rolling radius as a 45/16, so to get the same with a 17" wheel i'd assume you would need to go down to a 40. this is why you will have a less comfortable and snappier ride with 17"s. you could run higher sidewalls, but then you are increasing the gearing.

yup, that too:cool:
