They really arn't all there cut out to be

Have just amped my direct Renault replacement pioneers and they sound allot better than before. I know what people hear and what they think sound good is very subjective. However do I need to set any High of Low pass filters up when amping components even though I do not have a sub-woofer...

May I ask how a car intakes sound?

A Lambda sensor controls the fuel air ratio and when they start to fail the car runs a default setting which is quite rich (more fuel per unit of air) hence ecconomy decreases.

Mines rubbish even after getting a new base. Does anyone know if one of these would help?

I'm getting about 350miles a tank with similar driving so it might be worth changing the lambda sensor

Top mounts reduce play in the suspension to tighten up the steering and improve the feedback given to the driver. Well worth the money IMO as ive just done mine and there is a noticable difference. A strut brace joins the two trurrets together and reduces chassis twist when cornering although...

Quite a comman fault IIRC it'll be the switch so you'll have to get a new one. It might be worth doing a search to check though

I took mine out as it was tatty. Also removed the soundproofing behind the engine and replaced it with a small heatsheild. Tidys the engine bay up nicely

ok

I had this today and it was because my top mount had come loose so whilst going over a bump the shock was dropping down by a few mill.

I understand that bigger panels need to be blended and we always did blend new paintwork in when I was there. What I was trying to say (quite badly) is that even without blending the car would be a close match but I do agree that it would never be a perfect match and I for one would notice this...

It's really not that hard if you have colour cards and the car it needs matching too. But like most people on here you just can't believe that somebody can actually learn to do something in a short space of time. I had more than just a shot of doing it seing as my uni summer holiday was 5...

Why? If a sprayer can't match the colour of your car then they are not doing there job properly. I worked as a sprayer over a summer whilst at university and its not exactly hard to match a colour providing you have had the sense to get the customer to leave there so the new parts can be blended...

Theres a guide for it in the members section so stop being a tight wad a join!

THe PH1 boot is keyless and as far as im aware also has a UCH

TBH if they don't match the colour then they should be doing it again free of charge until its right.

I'm sure someone on here has done a thread on adding a bigger intercooler and having a remap and has seen good gains.

Love it. Top marks especially for the engine cover

Thread Fail TBH

I used hamerite and its stayed on there fine

Thanks for the reply Kam. Ive fitted them with washers now anyway but that will be a good reference for future people who install them.

have you got a diode to go with it?!

Think I should check the oring has gone into the gap then! I used an imperial socket on mine as it fitted perfectly. It was a 1 inch one I think!

I want the dutty mod TBH

Is this still running ok in your car?

IMO VFM would be to spend it on suspension and brakes and then learn how to drive the car properly.

Yeah in the plumbing section

Whats the reason for not using the spacers as surely the top mount will hit the spring hat now?

I went to B&Q to get my washers and o-rings. I used a poly washer for between the top mount and the strut and then used a rubber washer and oring on the top. What is the o-ring actually for as I do not see the point of it being on there?
