    Oil Cooler problems

    Right, had an Oil Cooler fitted last week by Nick at HillPower. I got a sandwich plate with a built in 80 degree stat. Nick said it was running about 90 degrees on the m/way, and fair enough on the way home, it was running about 80-85. The problem is now, after a couple of days, the oil is...

    HELP > loose steering!

    Do a search, its been covered quite a few times. There are lots of possibilities for what might be causing the problem. Power is a tad low, but torque is a fair bit lower than standard. Have you any mods? & what RPM were the figures at?

    LAD Conversation

    Well, Ive sampled a saxo one and its f**king sh*te! My brother is running 159bhp in his Saxo VTS (tuned by GMC) and met up with a lad who had a LAD 160 conversion done on his VTS. You should have seen the look on this guys face, he wasnt particularly happy with the so called 40 bhp increase...

    1.4 8v Tuning Advice

    Nick at HillPower will sort you out with anything for the 1.4. They seem to respond very well to tuning. As for an exhaust, K-Tec no question!

    Valver or 106GTI

    Id say a valver, but if you plan on doing a few engine mods, the 106s 1.6 16v responds far better to tuning that the clios 1.8 16v. If your gonna keep the engine fairly standard go with a valver. Better looks, sounds, and ability!

    Lowering on 15s

    I guess youve got 195/50 tyres? If you have, and carry people, a 35mm drop should do it.

    Induction BMC CDA

    Well I had one fitted last week, along with a PBV and HillPower Chip. Cars definately more powerful and feels a lot more torquey (if thats a word lol), and it a lot more responsive. I feel most of this is down to the chip and boost valve, but the IK does seems to be working well. Noise is...

    Not Happy! (Smoked Lexus Lights)

    Yeah the screw bit has actually snapped, and yes, the drivers side iirc. I could araldite it, but tbh, itd probably snap off again when screwed up tight. I dont wanna run the risk of them falling off when driving!

    Not Happy! (Smoked Lexus Lights)

    Just the screw bit that goes through the bodywork, that the nut thing goes on to keep it secure. Got them from K-Tec, but I guess its not their fault, but their supplies/manufactures. Unless it broke off when getting delivered? Well gutted as I was really looking forward to seeing them on....

    RenaultSport chip for 16v/Willy

    The Viper does sit quite close to the radiator but gets no heat soak though. Nick Hill can make up an adapter for you. He was going to do me one, before I realised they K-Tec had finished making theirs to sell with the Kit.

    Tom-You got it yet

    Yep its all good! :D Isnt that much quicker top end, but you can go the extra revs now. Pulls a lot better throughout the whole range. Throttle response is also a lot quicker. Hammered it all the way home, and been out all day. Only home now, cos the petrol needle is on R lol! Nick also...

    Import will cost more to insure at a guess, as they never made a UK version.
