The only kit I know of is the Alpha Gold kit, about £1500 includes EVERYTHING; manifold, linkage, throttle bodies, engine management, injectors, filters, the lot. No-one knows the flow rate of the original injectors! If you find out let me know.

I bought my Joker/Alien spoiler off them a few years ago. Its proper Esquiss gear so good quality but no instructions really and I had to ring up which wasnt much help either. The prices there can sometimes be surprisingly cheap, sometimes not. I think if you live local and walk in , and the...

Close your sunroof!

Yeah but in terms of style you get 8 out of 10 for having 17s. Then minus 12 out of 10 for having Venoms. The net result is that youd be better off not to bother!

Ralph youre spot on.

Out of those theres one that I wouldnt go to though.

Depends where you are and what you want.

I skipped a lot of this thread but all I can say are three things: firstly, having taken a passenger ride with him in the Willy, Craggy drives like a nutter and will get the best out of any car on the street. OK he might destroy the gearbox doing it but thats the price you pay! Secondly, Ive...

The original Clios had a 36 offset. The newer ones are a crazy 40-50 offset (I dont know what exactly) meaning the same kind of wheels selection problems that used to only plague Vauxhall owners with their freaky high offsets! Basically if the car is designed for say a 45 offfset and you put an...

See if the ECU is sitting in a puddle of water. Youve checked everything else I would have thought of straight away.

Just had a look through - superb - all the workshop details that everyones been after for all these years!

It doesnt matter how you go about achieving the emissions result, as long as you do. Or can get a bent ticket. If you need a cat then put it back on. Valvers have been known to pass an emissions test with an ecotek on and no cat. Even without an ecotek or any other kind of fiddling about, a...

Im ignoring the Hulk Clio. Looking at the top photo, that spoiler is rank. It looks like the handle of an enormous shopping trolley. As do all spoilers that come too far back and out like that. The Alien spoiler is quality all the way. I *would* say that though, because Ive had one on my...

Some advice needed. In the process of getting a BIG brake conversion (325mm discs with billet 4 pot calipers) and cos the pad pattern is obviously different to standard calipers Ive got to choose a new pad. If Ferodo DS2000 were available in this pattern Id get them without hesitation, but the...

So can that 1400 turbo lump from the Punto drop straight into my 1.4 Tipo? Maybe I should start checking the local scrappy.

Too bad Damian, sounds like youve had some bad luck to have had virtually *everything* need replacing in the last 4 months. Dont think that points to bad Renault build quality (although Renaults have never been the most solidly built and 16vs in particular have a rep as an expensive car to...

Sounds overpriced Barry, Ill agree with that. Maybe mum just didnt want to sell it hence turning down 10 grand. Its pretty much the same with me. OK once my valvers back on the road itll be worth a lot more than it was before the rebuild, but even as it was last year, if someone had offered me...

If you drive a quality (or expensive) motor you never get pulled. Look at all those housewives who drive around in those huge 4x4s with limo tints all round and illegal spacing on their personalised plates - they never get pulled.

Yes of course the Fastchip one is cheaper - some of the parts are the basis of the BB turbo conversion. Except all the bits that you *dont* get with the Fastchip job, you *do* get with BB. There is really far too much to go into here, about whats needed to do a proper job of turbcharging your...

Most people around SOuthend get theirs done at Rochford Tyres. In Rochford obviously. Just round the back of the ESso garage.

Mine have always rattled, around the hinges I think. Hence Ive finally done what I always said I would - taken them out PERMANENTLY

If it was a Dimma Clio it probably had Dimma wheels on it?

Yeah youre right on that Steve, nitromethane definitely is a fuel with a very high octane, burns very slow. And as Roamer says, it is perfectly legal to use nitrous oxide on the road. As long as your insurance company know because otherwise your insurance would be invalid and therefore you...

I wouldnt quibble too much about 50 quid here or there. If you want a top top top job at Pentagon with security film its a *lot * more than that.

I would have thought those GaTsos arent switched on, its quite common. I know where all my local ones are and I can tell when theyre on or off straightaway. Traffic lights send mine haywire as well.

BTW Mat, yeah you ran 14.7 and dont believe in nitrous, youd be knocking on the door of the 13s with a bit of gas mate!

lol yeah they calculate power for those sort of mags, by adding up the mods. Everyone with a brain, or at least a little experience in these things, knows it doesnt work like that. Just cos I ran 100 jets last season and cracked out a *still unbeaten* time of 14.48, doesnt mean I had 250hp. Mats...

Just to confirm everything, nitrous oxide is definitely not flammable, nor is it a fuel. It is an oxidiser - when depressurised and heated, it decomposes and provides oxygen which will allow fuel to be burnt. Petrol is a fuel but without oxygen it is about as useful in your engine as Panda Pops...

You need 6 holes and a load of clips. Id just put it on with sikaflex or double sided tape or something if I were you
