Great, cheers for that. What I was hoping to hear
Removed one cage yesterday, just a case of pushing the locating tabs in as much as possible and prising it out with a mixture of drivers / prybar. Will be a bit easier maybe with subframe dropped rather than doing it with it in place.
Making...
Just dropped my subframe for a manifold swap and 3/4 of the bolts came away ok, one of the fronts required the cage removed and held with a socket.
Im looking to replace all the nuts & cages as I fear I may not be so lucky the next time round and some of the cages look quite rusty and aged...
For all the extra time involved I just took the rad out the way to make it alot easier for myself as any space gained is always an advantage when working on the clios!
Manifold will be mild steel I think. Im currently having a V band installed on my manifold but having it done before I fit it as would be quite tight for access when its on the car and getting the weld all the way round it.
If access is too tight, you could unbolt the manifold and surely be...
Had no anti rattle clips on my CL RC5’s and they rattled like hell and sounded awful
However I Have read that PBS’s are alot better without them and dont sound like the cars disintegrating so sure you’ll be fine
Iv ran R1R’s on my dc2 integra and used them on scottish roads with lots of standing water with no problems
Bought them as a starter tyre for when I was doing sprints / hillclimbs to then use them as a wet tyre once I got a dedicated dry / softer tyre
They didnt appear to have overly stiff...
Im sure you’ll need a different camber setup from road tyres aswel for using slicks. Might be better off with something like the Extreme VR2 in R5 compound which are proving to be really good in sprints / hills compared to the previous tyres alot of people ran (R888 SG) Im speaking from a road...
On a long distance drive they wont be under the same strain as cornering on track, wont be working so hard and generate less heat than a track day
Plus he’ll be carrying more weight which will be a requirement for slightly higher pressures
Just go by OEM pressures as stated for the load your...
Dry ice for the roof would have to be on the outside, not sure how well it would penetrate and once its brittle it still needs a bit of a hit / scrape to break it up.
I tried doing the bits on the side of the gear stick tunnel / rear seats with just laying the dry ice against it but couldnt get...
Worth looking into the lithium ion jump packs available now, I have the one that was made by Powervamp but just recently seems they discontinued it. Sure there will be other brands out there. Fine and compact, light and the leads / clamps are small too. Every battery nowadays seems cramped and...
Get some dry ice in pellet form, apply it over the sound deadening for about 5 mins. Then it literally breaks off in large pieces. Little bit of tardis to get the residue left off. Can do a whole car in less than 90mins
Jack Kemp has stopped doing them if its the same guy im thinking of as not enough profit in it but he has a few sets left that he's selling up. Just put a post on the other day
Some good reading here, who is all offering group n timing then? From what Iv gathered in this thread its bloke and EFi? Is it just the labour involved for the belt change / timing setup and then mapping on top? Would be good to know a rough cost.
By hand is a lot more gradual and can get a feel for how tight it is and stand some chance of salvaging it. Go in all blazing with the gun and the amount of torque applied in a hit can shear stuff. Each to their own though, I know what id prefer to do
Mates garage stopped the guys using their...
Id watch with smaller stuff like caliper bolts as I know some decent guns can shear stuff no bother especially smaller stuff. I always crack stuff off first with a breaker bar to make sure then run them off with the gun
I was the same as yourself, going by measurements it was a no go. However I emailed Nick and asked their advice and was told it would be fine? I'm not overly concerned as the spacers are only fitted on wheels for going to / from MOT station really to clear the brakes due to the design of the...
Mark Fish is currently in the process of setting up a group buy for safety device cages and says should be sorted this coming week. Unsure on the pricing, I think the last group buy gave 10% off the price
on OMP subframes I felt pretty central. However I have just changed to Jon Foz X Low for drivers side and slotted the holes so I could get the side mounts far enough apart to get seat fitted. On trial the seat is still far too close to the door (you can tell just by looking at it that it isnt...
Bend the PAS pipe you mean? Im pretty sure you need to move the PAS pump from its current position. I run the PMS kit but a mate fitted a cup setup and he had the same problem at first and then had to move the PAS pump as it sits in a different location on the cup. Sure there will be threads...
I would do away with the fuse in the engine bay and crimp on an eyelet and then fit a mega fuse right after the battery.
Makes for a neater connection in the engine bay doing away with the fuse
