to clarify this: removed the plenum and painted last saturday. mounted back sunday. monday went for a drive and noticed the revving when braking stuff, but no noise. yesterday went out again and the whistle appeared, along with the revving thing. today nothing changed ...

ok I admit it sounds funny :D the servo hose is the one connecting to the plenum near the TB? I suppose the noise appeared somehow because I took out the plenum 3 days ago to paint it and something has changed when put it back

ok, maybe I'm slower... light me up. already checked bolts, hoses, etc

in this one you can hear how loud it really is. can't really source the noise unfortunatelly

take a look at this video. this sounds louder than I initially thought :(

now a whine can be heard when revs drop down when blipin' the throttle. it seems like the car hates me these days lol

quite a long way from the tailpipes to the cat, some bends too. you sure water could travel that far? can't imagine someone holding the jet long enough on the pipes causing water to reach the cat but people can have bad ideas sometimes lol

checked that, no joy :(

after I got my plenum painted and went for a drive couple of hours ago noticed that if letting the car glide in neutral and braking, the revs go up a bit, in the 1200-1700rpm zone, it's like pressing both (accel and brake) pedals at the same time. otherwise it drives fine. also the idle takes...

can't helix work out a organic uprated unit? something like this: http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1101&appid=2 I have this and it's 100% driveable. of course it bites a little harder than the original but you get used to it soon. the pressure plate is the same as the paddle unit they...

they feel smooth when I cross my fingers on, no brush marks either (the rough original surface also helped to get an even finish) a better pic here: ignore the second pic, can't remove it I dunno why

had the calipers painted the same. and the black went on the discs areas exposed to rust. so already had the paint and put it to use don't know why but didn't want to paint the guard red

that's if you fit an induction or maybe matched inlets but the power gains after fitting cams also came from more fuel injected, not to mention that some gets out to the exhaust in a nice flash :D

strange, that looks like a hole, mine is flat although the plenum has a hole that joins that area. what's that for?

used hammerite on it and the TB and some black VHT paint I had on the fuel rail guard. did it not only for the looks but it seems like painted parts are a lot easier to clean lol got some pics of the lower inlets to get some opinions if porting them is worthwhile (they are the RS stamped ones)

what the hell is this sticking out? I don't have it

how are the MPG's after fitting cams? would definitely like such an upgrade but if i'm going to run 10 mpg then maybe not..

what does VHT stand for? hight temp paint or smth like that? thx

wow the thumb grips are intact!! that's a good wheel in my book!

can someone explain or post some pic with how the horns are attached and wired? had an accident on that side which damaged the horns and MOT is in about a week or two and need to sort this out. wouldn't want to spend money and do the job myself instead. Cheers!

any other opinions?

mine did this twice for the last few days. it did it last autumn/winter as soon as the weather turned nasty. every time I unplugged the leads from the coil pack and wiped them off with a paper napkin. also wiped the coil and then car was fine. this happened about five times (and only when the...

:bump:

Found this pic in the sales section and wanted to know how to get to it and take it out. cheers!

pay a few quid and become a member, it's worth it, you'll see ;)

narrower mechanical track should explain it, it's just that I wasn't aware of that. ph1 and 2 owners get some measurements :D

that means the ph1 172 has a wider track than ph2 which iirc is ET48? odd..

f1's should be about ET48 like the ph2 172 wheels, would be odd that the ph1 to have a wider track

defo not white! a darker shade of grey maybe. that's how I see it

flat wipers work well on rather flat windscreens, on the clio they don't cover the end of the screen, classic ones if they're good quality do this much better. I had 2 sets of valeo flat ones, and they were a pain in the winter when snowing, a clog of ice gathered on the wiper in the area that...
