yes, the shorter is on the left, so that twists less. So the left wheel puts power down fractionally before the right, causing torque steer to the right.
1*2s have nearly enough power for torque steer to become a problem. On a lumpy road surface in 2nd you will certinally have to hang on a bit. Better designed cars have equal length driveshafts, Not the clio :roll:
As you've identified, you need the same tyres on each axle and get the tracking done.
partly true. There is a specific length of trumpet for every engine that will provide maximum torque. 106 gti boys have been known to buy LHD wiper setups and cut through the bulkhead to get the correct length trumpets on.
no he's not. He's charging us (students) interest on money he stole from us to the tune of about £50 a month.
Anyways, about the bodies. I would REALLY like to see someone use bike bodies. I have heard of 2 or 3 companies that do custom manifolds for setups exactly like this at reasonable...
yes it might be something to do with the exhaust. We'll never know unless you run it with the bonnet open and find out where the noise is coming from. If it's blowing from the exhaust, you'll be able to feel it blowing as soon as you get your hand near it.
is a video a possibility?
ever checked the torque they make?? bike engines in cars are not all that unless the car is really (and i mean really) light. would need to be stipped to fcuk
tbh this thread has got a lil out of hand now.....
He was wondering if a clio F4R would slot in on original mounting points and people...
unless the whole running of the car is much louder (all the time not just on pops and bangs) then it's not going to be a hole/gap in the exhaust. Also a hole in the exhaust will get much louder if you apply any throttle.
If the inlet manifold is cracked, you might be able to hear it hissing. it...
The themostat is purely a mechanical device, no electronics there. It just opens and sends fluid to the rad if the engine needs cooling.
Your fan issues. Firstly, try unplugging the rad coolant temp sensor. see if it turns the fan off. If it does, theres your problem, replace that.
more likely...
fair enough.
Are you really going to use that intercooler (and it is an intercooler not a charge cooler)
Pretty sure you could pick up something better dead cheap.
so you've done what then? put a 1.4 bottom end on the 1.4 16v head?
I think your going to need to do it properly. Go to a proper rolling road and get a proper map.
What year is the car?
