Got in today for some suspension tweaks and tyres. Settled with -1.6 camber and a touch of toe out inline with the standard rs133 cup figures. Should be ok on the road with the odd track day if it ever goes on one. Its now on some Michelin pilot sport 3s, load better but its futile trying to...

bolt in a diesel box, plenty of longer ratios to choose from or if 5th is the only gear you have an issue with you can swap just that with the gearbox in place easy enough (y)

just checked mine, o ring under the sender to the tank. it looks like it goes on to start with by hand then goes tight for me. iv tapped it around will see if it still leaks on the next fill up

I could be assembling it wrong though. Does it go black locking ring > o ring > sender or locking ring > sender > o ring ?

there is a tool to do it with but I'm convinced there's a way to line it up before starting to wind it on, just not found it yet. I tend to lube it up a little, then place the ring on whilst holding the sender down. Turn it the wrong way until it drops back onto the thread and then do it up.

I always have a problem with these, mine is leaking if I brim the tank on the Twingo. About once in the last 4 times I've done it has it properly sealed. Proper t**t of a job, hopefully someone pipes up here on the "correct" way to align and fit them.

After going mad to get this done I've not driven it since the start of the month.... 🤦‍♂️ kind of gone off the boil for it after cruising around in the Dope so much. I've booked in for 2 tyres and alignment next Monday through a mate for max discount. Just need to to double check the ride...

go to a reputable place, EFI Parts would be my recommendation, but yeah good map will give more all over its not just about peak numbers. 170 to 180bhp if your timing is correct. Get group N timing before getting mapped would be my choice.

Post it to efi parts

Woah now! It has a massive 41bhp I'll have you know 😂

No one mentioned old clios in this thread 🤷🏻‍♂️ and the clio wasn't even a spunk bubbles thought when this came out. Back when they were the correct wheel drive 😁

Ahh thats one of them modern cars...

My neighbour runs his own Garage so did me a solid and let me come in and use his hydraulic press to build a shaft. Pushed off both the cups/tulips and reassembled the one I wanted in the correct orientation (GT Tulip on the DCI shaft and then the GT spider on the 172 outer shaft) I measured the...

that said, it wasn't present on the DCI cv joint I inspected, the spider is bottomed out on the splines already

Not looked yet, this is getting done on a spare set of inner shafts so I can do everything in one hit rather than have to keep returning to the job. Well thats the plan anyway

Be nice to get more than 0 😂

Well all should line up lol. We will see 😁🤞

It does as measured above. Gt inner shaft and dci inner shaft are different lengths so I'll be using the gt cup on the dci shaft 👍🏻bearing carrier will still line up fine

Its on a 2 piece shaft on the drives side same as a later 172/182. Distance from the gearbox to the bearing is fixed by the shaft and bearing carrier on the block. All the movement/slop and articulation is done after the bearing? I need to gain more space/travel after the bearing to the hub...

sending to commence

Yep :giggle:, for some reason my head isn't processing that the inner shaft will effectively be a touch shorter after the support bearing and allow more depth/travel for the outer half of the shaft. (too little sleep to much medication :D)

free weight saving, in the bin

So I've done some bad maths and I think I can gain and extra 12mm of plunge by swapping the cup and spider off the GT shafts to the DCI/172 shaft on the drivers side. If someone could agree with me that would be great lol compared between the 2 the GT cup sits 5mm further on the shaft to start...

Yep you were the closest 👍🏻 I will have a look through the garage and find something you really don't need from my piles of crap 😁 pm me an address

Totally forgot to go back and check who was closest 😂

so will this allow the spider to sit further into the joint as such then or the spider further down the shaft? I will definitely take a look, I have a few spare shafts in the garage so will see if its on them, and my shaft uses a 172 outer half shaft so should be as you described (y)

I didn't even know there was one in there, but I will take a look for sure, do you have a pic of what you mean? Free is good (y) :D

big thanks to @KitsonRis for sorting me out with his spare old wishbones (y) I should be able to make something work with them, cheers

I had a vibration issue that seemed to happen when turning slightly and during compression on the back lanes. Initially I thought it was a joint on the driveshaft giving up. Then it wouldn't do it when just turning on the flat so I thought it was a plunge issue. Raised the suspension 5mm and...
