presume you WD'd it? heading with blow torch might work, but now you've rounded it you still might struggle.

blow torch would be better mate. not sure if that will create enough heat really. blow torches can be found quite cheap. which bolt you struggling with?

hmmm, they're not 45 degree, they are pretty straight when you look down them. the plenum on the other hand was only done about 4cm in.

It's supposed to reduce vibration, but mine made no difference when out. Just take it out. You have to remove the DS engine mount to get to the bolt holding it on.

lightweight exhaust and alloys?(cat is a double one on the ph1 no? just get a straight through stainless) carbon fibre bonnet? remove acoustic valve and engine hoist points.

not mine, had my RS stamped ones enlarged all the way through slightly too. :approve: Depends where you get them done mate. Had mine CNC'd throughout

presume that's 15inch

do you definately not have the RS stamped ones? Had mine ported and there is minimal gains. I recon around 3bhp and 5torque (had different mods on too when on the RR). Mine were RS stamped, so minimal gains from modding. The early ph1 ones are supposed to respond better to porting as the casting...

glad you like them. they've kept getting better for me so far. see how they fare at oulton next month

they are supposed to be slightly better cast, but still not great. Most 182's had them I believe.

33 and 30 mate.

just put it down to being french

hmmm, not sure it that would do much as the clip holds it in tight anyway? strange you had to do there though. so long as they're ok now that's the main thing. make sure you bed them in properly and you'll love them.

can't remember the final out come ;) lol

You mean the bit that touches the piston? :S that could be why it was squeeking, might not be completely flush. did you not push them back in to the caliper before putting the new pads in?

my 182 does this. renault couldn't find out why. started when i hit a bump while going round a corner.

i presume that's what it is anyway.

lol. it has been a while.

Any car will do this. the lighter the worse it will be. also depends how fast you're going. also if you have been using tyre gel that might also cause it.

don't start another flywheel debate ;)

strange this jon, shims are definately out? mine don't really squeel at all. only ever so slightly when slowing down to a stop ie. junction etc. but only at slow speeds. Never needed filling either, just removed the shims and they were fine. they shouldn't squeel when not braking though :S...

presumably the sprinter is diesel? so will be different anyway, but due to the clio electronic throttle, there is a slight lag. mainly on accelleration, but nothing majorly noticable really.

yeah that lol

have you tried it with the switch inside the car?

ktec cast iron stealth?

breather mods don't make much difference no matter what you go for really. I found that with my K&N cone that it sucked oil out the crank breather (more than standard) and chocked the engine a little. V6 airbox when i've tested mine seemed to work just as good as the standard setup, maybe a...

was I reading right mate and the v6 box only made 0.5bhp?

what's it going to do?

dyno's are all going to read different as said. the key really is to keep the variables to a minimum by having before and after runs when modding. Even if the first figure is high/low you'll still know what gains you have. Unless everyone on her goes over to Paul on the same day with the same...

it is a little silly ;) NA engine mate, ie. no turbo.
