I've gone broken my new phone (only had a it a month or so) so I need somehting cheap and rugged. I knowNokia used to sell on ebut no idea what it was called.
I'd prefere if it could stand a nuclear explosion as it will get abused to the same degree.
Any recomendation/ebay links?
I'd stick with 195/50/15 as there the cheacpeasy often tyre choice is a great area to start a duiscussion everyone has there own preference and hatred.
I like the contininetal normal ones.
195/45 to 195/50 isn't much difference in size though.
Why not use a 2.0 bottom end in the first place why spend on a bored out 1.8?
You can get stronger boxes made drop BenR a message he was talking of a compnay who can do it it will work out if you wreck a few 172 boxes to spec a decient JC5 box.
Gain arn't huge but its not bad val compared to other tunning if you do the work yourself or garage does it cheap.
Subframe off only a few bolts hold it on and the manifold goin up the gap. The only other way is engine out which is a lot lot more work.
You need a cat/decat making to fit as...
Stock are more than adequate after all they were ok for the 150hp Williams new fluid is the only thing you need there are upgrades ie DS2500/3000 pads but unless you drive very hard on track days a lot I'd not bother with them there more hastle.
Take the whell off and look in the gap how low you let the pads go is upto you. Renault say any less than 6mm or so and there fully worn out others leave them till there nothing left.
FK are the popular ones but there cheap (not a negaative but they no Leda etc)
Bilstein do a set
Leda apparently have a set but if not that would make a set up. (best option but pricy).
There is no best value for money FKs are you best bet there superb value Leda are more like £1.5k if you...
Decat can be DIYed check either get anopthef cat and smash the internals out or but the ends off it and weld a bit of metal pipe inplace instead of the cat.
Manifold they do make no idea of the company but gains are small and its a lot of work to make it fit for such small gaian best go...
Intercooler fitment easy best use the dci 100 one but the 80 is more common.
Custom remap only place i know are in Italy or Portugaul. SUperchip might be willing to assist you.
A remap/tunning box say 88hp. With an intercooler say 100. Add 5hp to both those figures for custom remamping if...
There no suspension recall but a common problem with the strut tops being modified to stop them making noises but it never realy works.
Check the other mounts engine might need moving a bit to make it correct.
It will if you spend the money on it otherwsie nope. I'd never both trying to stick that much power in a JC5 get a box which is better built to start with.
Forget the whole 16V lump but a VAG 1.8 T engine and box and use that much better option or least use a turbo F$RT engine block and box...
