It was a bad earth on the gearbox in the end! Makes sense with hindsight!

OK Joe, apology accepted...I dont hold any grudges (not even against 172 Slayer although I still want a race!) so lets just say our opinions differ on just about everything and leave it at that :) Glad you were man enough to be upfront about it but the question is - is this thread on the right...

hehe yeah I pretty much never cane it over 3500 when its cold, but you know how it is, sometimes theres some arse in a white van who is just crying out to be overtaken on the way to work...I dont make a habit of it, but Ive gotta say, my Clio is just as quick and responsive when its warm as when...

I wouldnt worry too much about 0-60 from a quarter mile time. Its the last bit thats always the hardest on the engine cos by then youre into a higher gear...eg I can quarter mile in 14.8 @ 91mph, but the 0-60 is probably in the low 6s.SO it takes another 8 seconds to get from 60 to 90mph. On...

well said, everyone... BTW Ben (J) - I can hardly understand what youre going on about whenever we meet up in person, so its not surprising no-one can understand your posts on here!! :)

Not a big fan of sunstrips, they were a tasty cheap mod when they first came out, made your car look a bit different, but now the only cars that have them are Metros with Viper stripes. Id avoid it unless you can get a proper tint strip done across the inside of the windscreen if you get tints...

Yeah I get muddled up. Anyway Im still gonna call you Geoff from now on.

Exactly - Mark couldnt have put it better - if anyones so upset about having 1 star that they have to make a big fuss then maybe they should join the club. It must be nice to be able to use a lively, active forum for nothing and then go on to sl*g off the way its run, while the whole time its...

Nice to have a sensible answer Joe. So would you say that the charge cooling effect through the long induction tract outweighs the benefits of the full nitrous/fuel flow being injected almost directly into the ports with no loss of mixture on the way?

OK Im GUILTY then...it seems pretty obvious to me that if anyone were seriously contemplating say a change to four throttle bodies as a means of gaining power then I doubt theyd look in this guide then just go for it. Surely somewhere along the line they would be likely to bump into or talk to...

well I been thinking of a purge valve and not just cos it looks cool to have a white vapour jet blowing over your windscreen! I would say that it would definitely make a difference, perhaps 1/4 second in a car that could launch off the line with no wheelspin. Saying that though, I dont put the...

Good work Brun!

Yeah but it was only the 16v and Willy that had the heavy clutch, my old RT didnt seem to bad. ALthough perhaps thinking back it was the heaviest clutch Id ever driven up till that point.

Ben - in this thread and others you have proved yourself a straight-up geezer, Marks on the ball with what he said, but youre man enough to take it and smoke the pipe of piece so stick with it mate. Your comments and experience are valued by many Cliosport members and forum users so no worries...

Cheers for the personal insults Joe. I have never got personal like that with you ever. So thanks for showing your true colours - you post your opinions then want everyone to agree with you, and if they dont then you cant take it. You may have noticed (but probably skipped that bit) that when...

I assume youve got proven data on this Joe? How do you explain the raised induction temps...surely the opposite would be true because rather than a proportion of the liquid fuel/nitrous charge being wasted lining the walls of the manifold before it atomises, the whole lot will be used, thus...

Simon - basically the original injector is taken out and the hole plugged. The solenoids stay put but the two fuel/nitrous lines are lengthened to run to an 8-way distribution block which has 4 fuel and 4 nitrous outputs. Each pair of of these goes down to a combined injector which is in each of...

Its only meant to be a brief guide for beginners then people cane it cos they know more about engine tuning! Lighten up! Everyones gotta start somewhere. IMHO its pretty good as a brief tuning guide, the only thing in there that glaringly seems wrong is the Splitfire thing. All the other...

At least a grand I would have thought.

Ive said what Ive got to say about this. If people wanna come on the main forum and SPAM (because thats what it is) everyone with their own personal topics of interest then thats their call. But Im no gonna condone or support it. BTW We are thinking about putting in a pub bullsh*t/kill stories...

Sylvia - havent you just agreed with what I said then? If KAs are driven by female schoolteachers (true btw, 4 of my female schoolteacher mates drive KAs) then its a girls car. I for one dont *want* a big over-engineered car for the family man. Its only me in the car most of the time and...

Yeah most would say (including me) that the Jap style doesnt really work well on a Clio, chunkiness is more in order rather than swooping lines and stuff. Still anyone who puts in the hours to get their Clio different gets my respect. Dont know if this is your style but it seems like youre...
