Yes, it's a better option, although the tension angle of the belt is not ideal, it should be more slack.

That's totally normal. It's a mass manufactured unit that is then hit with a dose of CNC work for a better / more repeatable finish.

That's totally normal, and that's the main crank pulley, the idler is the furthest foward on the aux setup at the bottom. I'd also be dubious that you can check the wear of the belt visually, or even while it is on the car at all!

Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 Good figures! Belt slip is bad news if there is even the slightest present.

Did I do them?

I'll hedge a bet with an Aux belt idler. Always follows rpm in pitch and volume and does sound 'charger' like.

I will consult my creative side tonight and get back to you. Much love x

I like your faith in this motor - not over molested, always in tip top condition!

Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 Straighten out that steel 90 - couple of jubilees - done! Here's one I made earlier! lol

Yes you can strip and refinish, however the parts that are being treated need to be single, so without the spherical bearings etc within them. In the case of the top mounts they would need to be completely broken down.

They'd sit flat, but anodized finish is far superior to gold old PC!

I've got to agree, it's certainly different!

Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 Really really tasty project - hope it makes the numbers and most importantly proves to be reliable!

YES!

SRR is actually very relibale in my expierence. It reads within 1-2bhp every year on the same cars that attend, and usually lands around 1-2 bhp within a comparative reading at RSTuning.

Charlie - he does, but I'm telling you it's fine ;)

Looks 100% fine? About there for the work you've done - the cars always take a few runs to peak. Stop worrying and keep driving the dam thing ;)

^ Is that an accidental picture? Or an 'arty' one? lol (I quite like it btw!) On another note we replace our crank locking pin every six months - I believe Fred does it every three!!

Ah a sensible user, thanks for joining us here in the mature traders discussion ;) I've got to agree however; as brilliant as the V is; I miss that impractical clio!

Don't push back - then it's all irrelevant! flol haha - lets not get onto the topic of Mr Wills - James gets a bit *sensitive*

You wish yobbo.

scumbag.

I love my Volvo to bits; the creaky towbar makes gives me a fuzzy feeling every time she tows! but I do miss the little sh!tbox for the weekly thrash down the other halves house.

Oi, get to bed Monkey ^ you've got a 197 clutch to do in 30 mins tmrw!

.. Well I don't actually hate it, but whilst my little badger of a clio is being ripped to bits I miss driving the little fecker every day. I threw away its entire loom today *emotional :(* Que good memory photo:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Lies. 197 wheel is 100% fine, the 200 wheel however has the slighest difference in the length of the metal tabs that run into the column / yaw & steering angle sensor. My old motor:

Ok, I want to shed some light on various options to try and make everything clearer, hopefully then people can have a read before simply jumping to conclusions. Firstly I apologise for my patronizing type comments earlier if they came across that way. Because application is everything, a real...

Friends again?

Bugger it your right, I'm going to listen to you and send the ITB kit back first thing tmrw. I'll match it up with a 2011 Jenvey throttle body and away we go.

Sorry not meant to be defensive - on phone so only wording quickly. No I don't know the power limitation of the RS2 (yet) however this car isn't for the development of that product any longer - I have another car for that. The role of this car is to provide reliable, proven output using a...
