Well it was only a month ago I was also a fake worker!! We should organise a mini Ciren meet!!!

Definately HB3's

Search for V6 Trophy Spoiler as it looks a bit like that.

I would go for 5mm personally. I know it doesn't sound much but it made a noticible difference on mine and improved handling as I'm now running a similar track to the 172cup.

Thats me. I dont work at AE but my company pays them to use there car park. I know where Russ works but what about you Nick?

well I'm on standards at the moment so I'm used to them

Cars on 92k now I'm starting to think about changing the dampers as I'm not sure they have ever been done. Are the Konis worth the money or should I stick to standard shocks? I've got eibach pro springs and do occasional trackdays.

33kg is light compared to some cars. GF's dad has a E190 EVO and it took two of us too lift just one of his front seats!!

You get the tensioner and tension pulley in the kit. The pulley is known for failing and taking the aux belt and then cambelt out with it.

Those ones are legal. Theres nothing illegal about pressed plates as long as they are done to the DVLA specs.

Cheers I'll give that ago. I've tried a few things on it but the problem comes back after a few days!

No you can get all the parts separetely. Though as you said it is best to do the lot every 36k

Thats what mine is, any idea what to put on it to stop it drying out? Its quite a tight space to get too and I wary of getting grease on the clutch plate.

They all whine a bit but if its loud I would put my money on the tensioner or bottom idle pulley.

I bet that flies!

Covered mine in WD40 and left it overnight. It came off pretty easily with a large spanner after that.

Mine were fantastic on the track and are pretty good on the road once warm though they arn't terrible when cold they just need a few warm up stops in the morning. I bedded mine in by doing 8 hard stops from 70mph to 10mph to get them really really hot and then drove home gently to let them...

What do you find lethal about the yellowstuffs?

Just make sure he has the right tools for doing the cambelt or your going to be on here in a few weeks asking how much its going to be for an engine rebuild....

Took mine out ages ago as they had started to fall apart

Kit is around £130 from memory then you can either fit it yourself or pay someone to do it. Your probably looking at £250 all in if you get someone to do it. What age is the car and what mileage is it on?

It'll be the aux belt pulley or tensioner.

I wouldn't bother on an engine thats only done 18k. They are not known for failing people on here seem to just do them out of caution, although if you do a search I doubt you would find many/any threads talking about a failed one!

All the ones ive been in whine slightly in first and second. Cambelts do not bed in so they are talking out of there rear ends. The engines are quite whiney anyway but anything particuarly loud will need to be checked out. A very whiney belt usually indicates that its been over tensioned.

I love the DC5 its definately near the top of the list for my next car.

hmmmm I'm starting to think ive only had experiance of a sick Type-R!!

But 90% of the time when you need the acceleration and mid gear torque you dont want to be changing down and reving the nuts off of it to achieve it. (Well I dont anyway) I know the clios not got the best torque curve in the world but its got enough low down to make it bearable for my daily...

I talking about the engine in stock form. IMO it lacks low down grunt and has to be driven way to hard to get the best out of it and the one my friend had was very thirsty. However I do agree that as far as reliabilty goes theres nothing that can touch them. Theres a video on youtube of one...

There was a link but they've updated their product range and its no longer on their site. I'll try hunt down another link

anyone?
