    Dropping front further.

    Well it seems like a good price to me Leanne, like I said to you before, yours can take a 60mm drop cos it starts off so high anyway. So £200 for the kit supplied plus £30 or £40 to get a garage to change over the front and rear shocks and front springs and bobs your uncle. Luckily your torsion...

    Wild Cam vs MoT

    Id recommend finding a bent MOT station. Youll wreck a cat if you put a wilder cam on it anyway, what with the excess fuel that may be chucked down the pipe.

    Nitrous Bottle Heater

    Simon - theres a big difference in the way mine goes when the bottle is up to the proper pressure. Normally it runs at 750 psi tops in British weather (apart from really hot summer days). Thats well down on the pressure it needs to be. So a heater is a must.

    Auto electric question

    Or you could just put another indicator into the circuit and just hide it somewhere amongst the wiring where you cant see it?

    Neon - Good or Baaaaaaad

    Do what you think is right. They can look quite good on some cars, but the thing is you need your car to be very low and generally very big for it to look quality. Looks sh*t on smaller cars especially if theyre high up off the ground. The biggest no-no is being able to see the tubes. I...

    Auto electric question

    Well if you wanna simulate the load then calculate the current first then the resistance. So P=IV, I = 21/12 = 1.75A Then if V=IR, R=V/I= 12/1.75 = 6.85 ohms.

    Dials

    I dont think anyones got the right dials to allow a Lockwood kit to go straight on. My advice is just take your time and be super careful. Obviously dont attempt to do the job with just the dash top off. Take the whole unit out of the car and do it indoors, very slowly! I had to drill new...

    Good work lads - lets see what you can come up with to keep the members happy! BTW The Admin forum is strictly top secret - we discuss things like whos been using the forum loads but is too cheap to become a proper member...;)

    FAO: Nick Read

    Im running a 35mm drop on 215/35/18. I can get full lock, and no rubbing but to do that I had to remove virtually all the sh*tguards, cut into the actual *side* of the wheelarch (not just the lip underneath), and angle grind some of the metal off the subframe/inner arch. Sounds like you need...

    Servo Vacuum Hose

    Depends which vacuum hose youre interested in, theres all sorts of different bores. They vary between about 2mm for the fuel regulator line, up to probably 6 or 7mm for the brake servo. The breathers coming out of the rocker cover are 8mm at least.

    Transmission Losses

    Im not even gonna get involved in a row about trans loss. Suffice to say I dont believe any car built in the last ten or twenty years would have a trans loss of over 20% even if its 4wd. To lose more than a fifth of the engine power through the transmission is just silly. Still, the myths and...

    MOT (spare wheel)

    I think the police (and breakdown organisations) are a bit confused over this. The law does not say you have to have a spare, only that if you *do* have one, its got to have legal tread.

    Willy vs RX-7 round two

    hehe good work mate! Willys rule! To all the non-believers out there, Craggys Willy is very quick, from a passenger ride in it, and from racing it, I estimate a sub 7 second 0-60, and the quarter miling results (consistent low 15s) speak for themselves.

    Hi new member

    Keep up the good work Daley. BTW Simon - Im not a big Nova fan but then again what would you rather have - a 1.3 SR or a Nova with a whacking great 2.0 converted job? Joe - cant see why a Clio running a GTT lump couldnt be at least equal to a Scooby under most circumstances. They aint that...

    Haynes manual is your best bet. Renault themselves never seem to want to give out gearbox data.

    Clutches - Whats good - and other things

    Just get a standard Willy clutch (from Renault) - works a lot better than a standard 16v one or an uprated Black Diamond one.

    Very nice but I aint paying NOS or any other yankee rip-off merchants £150 for a bit of rubber mat with two velcro straps (see my wanted ad in the other forum!)

    High spec cheap clio for turbo conversion

    Chris - yeah 16v and Williams are both fairly rare. Ive run 3 cutches on mine so far, a standard 16v and uprated Black Diamond job - both of which I burnt out pretty easily with half a dozen standing starts. Im running a standard Willy clutch at the moment and so far no problems even though Im...
