Re: South East Convoy CSS
I've just bought my ticket, as i live in Thundersley i can meet peeps at Thurrock services or time it just right to meet up along the way with the Southend people
For the time, trouble and costs would it have not been better just to book it in for a remap by someone? Mapped to your engine and particular mods done in 1 go, just thinking the cost of the RS Tuner, generic map then doing it all yourself with the potential for these problems to arise and...
Is it worth having the F4R head worked on, i.e port and polished etc? Was wondering if this is the area to focus on (better breathing)
Was toying with the idea of buying a 2nd hand cylinder head to be worked on. Apologies if this has been covered, i had a brief look in the search function...

Its about £90ish for 1 bracket and £30ish for the other, £8 for the aux belt, £120 for an exchange cup alternator and about £20-£30 for bracket bolts. I have all the part numbers to hand for the 'Cup' alternator setup

I'm in the same situation. Now the Clio is running I'd like to do a power run to see how the power curves are now the inlets are matched, induction changed, running a decat and stealth exhaust. I believe the ECU self reads, how far does this go, running Shell V Power
Some of my phase 1 Clio
