Well it looks like it has worked in the real world so being logical (guessing) isn't always right.

But how do you know the valve is shut at idle? It could just be a metering unit rather than an open/closed operation. The castings could be done with some deburring from what I have been told too.

Only in certain parts of the rev range now, calm down and let's not spam Ian's thread. All I'm saying is that spring rates change during compression so shimming will affect the figures.

Cant do, Chip says otherwise. I'm going to do mine, what did you shim it? 1mm

Some boy for one boy and lol at some of YT comments, just goes to show a car has to be moving around to be going quick. http://youtu.be/1jF__B1xpJY

Thought that might have been the case, mine got beans from resetting the ecu and was on track shortly afterwards.

Yeah I stay there. I'm guessing your 2nd name is Innes...if so you have had this thing for years. Craig A has detailed it a few times for you right?

Wrong spy, out of interest how long did you have it fitted before mapping and did you kick it's head in? Mine was also rubbish to begin with, I posted a few threads on here but after resetting the ecu and allowing it to self learn it improved. It can't learn enough from what chip has said but...

Was you not the guy that bought mine?

I know of one car that run one for a long period without mapping and needed very little changes at rs tuning when it was mapped. I'll bow to both your's experience with them, I just wasn't massively impressed with it plus no one has got over circa 150lbft with them. Seem's like an end of line...

I did say it wasn't ideal in my post although mapping it wasn't going to make a night and day difference imo, you could feel it going lean and the engine note change but only for circa 500rpm. I realised for the spend it was pointless for my use and sacked it off. Most people seem happy with...

Just been watching a feature on these in an old top gear, great little cars. Good fun to watch racing too. You got any interior pics?

How much of that is RS2 and how much is the supporting mods in that example. No mine was never mapped I just let it self learn over a while (not ideal) but it got better from a running point of view every time I had it out initially. I just found it of no benefit on a lap round KH over my...

There are 3 different arrangements throughout the 1*2 range iirc but the same should apply, if you could post a pic and I could advise better but I know I had to file mine down. It does say in the Yanoo guide although its a little confusing.

Post a photo but I'm sure you are talking of the lower pivot point where Yanoo sometimes supplies brass bushes, If that's the case then they need filed down a little to be slightly smaller than the shoulder on the gear linkage bar.

RS2 tails off too @ 6500rpm but from a lower peak torque. I just think the higher torque figure in the area that is used when on the boil is more beneficial with the standard inlet.... especially with supporting mods. In general the standard inlet has the RS2 on level pegging and beaten above...

After having an RS2 fitted I think it just detracts from the way the car should be which is 'peaky' I felt it just stole peak torque to give it to lower in the rev range, I couldn't see it's uses as these things are in the power band when in use, for e.g I would rather have dr jekyl's graph...

Looks good, pictures taken at Newtonhill beach top?

I have also heard the windscreen needs to come out but you have done that. Take off your door seals and try and get one of the main hoop legs out the door to tilt it up, pretty sure racers didn't have the seat braces that go from the sill to exhaust tunnel.

Surely that's just a branch from the exhaust and the same could be achieved with a bigger diameter exhaust? Would sound epic but would scream continually.

Oversteer on a FWD isn't going to happen at low speeds as its all about weight change. Anyway what we used to do was put the rear tyres on the wrong direction on the rear (basically swap left to right) pressures up a bit and use engine braking into a corner and a tug of the wheel or wheel spin...

Clio turrets are smaller Phil, you essentially need to do what Kenny has and rebuild them all together or your ride height will be about 2" higher.

Grab your duvet as you'll be in the dog house. Was you the only one speaking? No go pro footage or that from them?

Its in Gaelic I'm sure but worth a watch for a laugh. You could of wore a Lacoste one piece Gaz to really get the stereotype of Scots correct.

Ahh, on here. Thought it was funny he was getting to book on KH with a lifetime ban.

Fit?

Yeah not the end of the world, I learned to stop taking advice off here except from the select few on things like tyres, brakes and suspension about a year ago. I found it best to try at least two forums for reviews as you get the fan boys of certain products and others follow off the back of...

They made clio's back then in your youth? ;)

Not read the whole thread and no disrespect but if you think a rain tyre will offer performance your nuts, just another CS misconception.

No I only asked Mark as my friend done this to his mk1 golf and had no end of trouble ovaling the ball joint clamp on the hub, ended up with tempered steel pins and welding them with the bolt too. The shafts are horizontal anyway Chip when you moderately lower a Clio so they barely get any...
