Other than a Willy box are there any other options for upgrading thebox in the vlaver for sensible money? Does anyone make a 6-speed box? Sequential? Do Qauife make a box for the Clio? Anyone make an LSD for the Valver/Willy gearboxes? Cheers, Simon

I had my valvers cambelt changed about 7,500 miles ago, the water pump and alternator belt where both changed too. Been running fine for the last 7,500 miles but now when I start her up from cold I get this horrible squeeling noise coming from the cambelt cover, when I rev her it stops. Doesnt...

My current ICE install is all Alpine, CD Headunit, 16cm components, 6*9s and 4 channel amp. I was gonna add another 2 channel am and D-Class amp to run two 8" subs and a 12" sub, again all Alpine. But now Im thinking about suing JL stuff, having heard their subs they sound absolutly...

Whats the best Chip to use if Im rebuilding an F7P lump for my valver? I know Hill Power and BBPerformance will do a chip to suit your mods, but as each engine is individual would I be better of with one set up on a RR like a Unichip to get best resaults? Cheers, Simon

I wanna get an uprated clutch for my vlaver, tempted to go for a Willy one but thinking about getting a high rated one. BB Performance do one rated to 220ft/lb and K-Tec do a Group-N one, anyone tried either of these or know which would be better? Cheers, Simon.

Hiya, Im soon to be getting rid of the nasty 15" standard rims and sticking on some gorgeous 17" OZ SuperLs. So now I need a big disc brake conversion, for looks obviosly but also coz I want more stopping power. Id like a 4-pot + big disc upgrade, can anyone recomend one, I would like...

Whats the maximum output a standard F7P and gearbox, drivetrain can handle? Just wondering how much NOS I could get away with on a standard engine before something went bang.

Right, in the not to distant futrure I hope to be getting my valver resprayed. My current plan is as follows:- Respray in Skyline Blue, 17" SuperLs in silver, 35mm drop, tinting(dunno wot colour), colour coding of black trim between windows, bumb strips and grill crome coloured, nice spoiler...

If Im gonna lower my valver, whats best for handling, not fussed about having adjustable hieght or rebound/preload settings, just wanna fit it, lower it and drive it...fast.

Nick, Thining of copying your idea for a sealed induction system using the BMC Carbon airbox, how would you go about connecting the crankcase breather hoses to the inlet? Cheers, Simon.

Is the hose joing the feul rail at the drivers end the supply line and the one about half way along the return line? Also, how does a PBV fit ? Is it a remote fitting with an adaptor to take the place of the OE valve?

Am I roght in saying the Hill Power induction kit for the valver takes its air feed from the hole next to the fog light on the passengers side? If so how is this fed to the engine bay? And how does it fit onto the hole? Cheers, Simon.

Met a guy in Portsmouth yesterday, named Dew, was driving a 1.8RSi, quick little thing too! When he pulled over for a chat I discovered it had 14" wheels, hence the good acceleration, he also had a twin exit exhaust hed made himself, de-catted and virtually no silencing, he also should me his...

Isnt a throttle body bascially just a carb. with all the bits removed apart from the throttle plate and a feul injector added? So why not get a custom manifold made, keeping the injectors where they are on the standard manifold and bolting on 2 DCOE 40s or something simular with all the bit...

I wanna lower my car but cant afford a full spring/damper kit at the mo. If I just get lowering springs and the torsion bar reset for a 35mm drop will this improve the handling? I can then add Koni\Bilstien shocks later, right? What springs would you recomend, Ive heard good things said...

What Antifreeze/Coolant do you all use? Ive been told Renaults should only have the best put in them as it can burn holes in parts of the engine through electrolisis. Also is there any difference between the different colour anitfreezes or is the colour just for cosmetics? Cheers, Si.

Nick, Do you have to turn your NOS bottle off when your not using it for any length of time? If so how anoying is it aving to get out and turn it on? I ask because Ive been looking at some american sites that sell remote bottle openers and wondered if it woul be worth buying one. Also do you...

Getting some minor damage repaired on my car next week, also getting it de-locked at the same time. Was wondering about getting some bit colour coded, rubbing strips, handles, etc. Any body had this done? Does it look OK with the handles still balck, what aboiut the strips that go around the...

Im getting my cam belt changed soon, if im gonna ben fitting NOS soon is it worth getting the head gasket changed for an uprated one whilst theyve got the belt off?

Think Im gonna need a new clutch soon as my old one is on its way out, keeps slipping in third and forth under hard accleration. Seeing as Im getting NOS pretty soon would it tbe worth bying an uprated unit? If so can anyone recomend suh a unit, I dont wanna get a paddle clutch as id like my car...
