You can get big jap power gains but it costs loads too!! What cars are you talking about? Most are quite temprimental from what ive read. The RSOC lads call the scooby engine "chocolate". Its not that bad but it needs lots of TLC. Sunny Gti-R = big bills also. My cousins RX7 needed a 3K rebuild...
Well checked this morning and when hot the engine is quite noisy from on top but the bit with the red line if far noisier.
Should I get a full service? The last service seems very very vague!!
16/09/02 - 5,000 miles ago. I wasnt the owner!!;)
been going through the old reciepts and Renault have been putting Shell Semi-Syn 10-40w Helix plus.
The last service wasnt renault - and all that is listed on the recipt is £15 for oil!! Which sounds cheap to me!:o

I know there is a tappety sound when hot (thats when i noticed it first) but if its the same one I dont know - the sound came from the place marked when cold. I can check tommorrow if when warm the noise is different or from a different place.
Oh and thats the I have put in to top up but...
yeah I read injectors on a past post so I think it could be but wanted one of the "Knowlegable Ones" to comment;) I have no idea where the injectors are!
OK after my last attempt to sort out my ticking sound I thougt maybe is I pointed out where exactly the noise was coming from someone could help!
It a very distinctive high pitched noise kind of like the sparking when lighting you gas hob. It sounds loud and someones gonna say spark plugs:pbut...
The guys entitled to do what he wants to his car - just as we are intitiled to say it looks mailto:cr@p">cr@p. Each to their own....I prefer the red one;)
Yup I used ot phone 20-30 companies to get a decent price. I can remember one bloke gave me loads of abuse as someone had quoted me £700 for my last car - it was along the line of "there feckn mad - thats far too cheap! how dare you phone me expecting us to insure you etc etc" LOL
My Cousin went from a MY00 Scoob 218bhp (didnt feel fast after 10mins) to a RX7. I think the RX7 was £9k - being RWD has less transmission losses. It has 220bhp as std but he has modded it. I think his target is 300bhp for the year. the engine (1.3 Rotary) needs rebuilt every 60-80k and its...
Hmm - didnt find any Scoob that much fun too drive yet - very capable and quick. Ive loved them since the early 90s when still unknown. Always said I would own one - now after a lot of driving one on and off for a year I cant see the fuss. No really that fast - bloody expensive to tune and...
I have a rattle just under the plastic lock part that sticks up. It sounds like a loose nut - im going to dismantlte the door this weekeng and finally banish my one rattle!
