read the link i posted in post #49 ;) also a point i was trying to make is you wouldnt be cauing excess wear with oil at about 50-60 deg compared to stone cold oil (which is what this topic is about)

LOL http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2080127/iPhones-Siri-tells-Charlie-Le-Quesne-12-shut-f--ugly-t-.html?ITO=socialnet-twitter-mailonline

lol i never doubted you :P i always thought oil would warm up quicker tho, being as its in the engine not around it. and i still think that by the time your coolant is up top temp your not cauing excess wear on the engine because the oil isnt FULLY up to temp

well this is me wrong then... just found this link... Keep Your Engine Alive: The Importance of Oil Temperature Posted on May 20, 2011 by Nathan One of the things you will find if you have a oil pressure or temperature gauge is that regardless of the fact...

could say the same about it being too warm? but i should imagine that the oil warms up quicker than the coolant due to its application EDIT: seems i was wrong, coolant does reach operating temps before oil does, id still hazard a guess that at that temperature that there isnt any excessive...

it probably is to get it to optimum working temperature but we are talking about wear due to the oil being too viscous when cold. the warmer it gets the easier it flows through the engine causing less wear. so i would imagine by the time it takes your coolant to get up to temperature the oil is...

damage to the N/S of his car would suggest the left hand side of the car took the hit?

what do you think warms up first? oil being thrown about an engine next to thousands of explosions a second and bits of metal rubbing .000000001mm (exaduration) away from each other or coolant thats got a limited flow until 'x' degrees when the thermostat opens? id say its a safe bet to say...

lol i dont care if you speed, but its affecting your economy... the diffrences in gearbox codes and 5th gear ratios are going to be negligable anyway if your traveling at that speed evrywhere. jc5-128 is afaik one of the longer ratioed boxes off a clio diesel

so youd rather change the box than lift your foot half an inch?

how about reducing your speed to 70 and save yourself a fortune? 4-4.5k should do it ;)

so your doing 100ish mph for 400ish miles a week... theres your fuel problem

yeah, althoughy i think scoff is looking at doing a drive in drive out conversion, no idea on price but i should imagine him doing it for roughly the same price the flywheel costs £450 by itself, buy a box, clutch, adaptor plate, custom mounts, driveshafts, clutch master cylinder and resevoir...

lol the thought isnt bad but when you see that money leave your bank account you do die a little inside!

your looking at about £1200 mate

try a google search, i found a PDF online before with all gear ratios for jb3 and jc5's

TOuch is good for a group chat. the rest iMessage does well enough

Pop the speaker covers in the corners off undo the 2 torx screws and the top of the dash pops off with a light tap upwards

Touch is better IMO (the old pingchat)

this. should be done by now really but im lacking the go latley. also owes me a serious wedge!

Love it! Maxi kit will set you back about £1200, would finish it off nicely tho :) and you'd have to modify the front wings to keep the phase 2 lights that is on there now. If you go on renaultonline.net and look for brucemaximegane's blog youl see what's involved in getting it fitted :) You...

He wasnt... Turbo wasn't spooling due to the wastegage being stuck open

Lol my bad, I'll film the 197 being covered in "rover smoke"

Lol give me a bell next time I'll come down and film the 197's dump valve as you spray water all over him :)

Don't know, will have to search. Was just given the calipers and disks by a mate

They will work, but if those numbers are correct then I'm gonna have no "feel" in the pedal and the brakes are either gonna be on or off. It's a big hassle if I fit them then put the engine in and run it to find I need a smaller master cylinder.

Because Fred its a lot of work to change the master cylinder if they don't work.

hi guys im putting brembos off a fiat coupe onto my 1.6 megane coupe and i want to make sure i have the correct master cylinder on the car before i go putting the engine in and not being able to change it. having made a few measurments this is what ive come up with... 1.6 caliper - 54mm dia =...

they dont have an electric powersteering system no. but i could be wrong and it may not be a power steering motor, although it looks like it

looks like an electric power steering system
