but remember all the engines are different, its like driving a 172 then jumping into a 182 your probably not going to notice a great deal of difference, but drive one car without it then drive one with it and its a massive difference, granted i fitted a decat at the same time but on a before an...
the most mechanical thing i had ever done to a car before i fitted my 182 manifold was changed a wheel. its a pain and a bit niggly but its by no means hard, and i could do one now in about 3-4hours max.
EDIT: plus anyone who tells you its not worth doing for the little gain to be had doesnt...
thats what i done yesterday when i felt it tightning up but the fucker still snapped, lucky it left me enough to get a set of mole grips on it and get it out that way, c**t!
is it just me or does everyone else shear the bolt that bolts into the wheel arch, every time i remove one of these from a car thats not had mounts done in a few years?!?! thats about 7 cars ive done it to now!
sounds like you've been lucky and just confused the engine with water if its running ok now as water + engines = bang usually!
ive saw a conrod rippled like an accordion
didnt have time to read all 4 pages but you do realise how quick R888's wear?
personally for a road car i swear by T1-R's i used to be F1 GSD3's but they got expensive and at £29 a corner for 15" you cant beat T1-R's
got PE2's on the 172 but ill probably replace them with T1-R's

loads of pics required when you get it. if you dont mind pm'ing me what sort of deal you got and if you went derv or petrol im on the verge of ordering a gt dci just cant decide between that or the more expensive megane :S
brilliant some man ill order a set of these. needing a set of tyres and dampers are worn and have a set of coilovers lined up so need to get the f*****s off!
well long story short previous owner has the locking nut removal key, he told me he would post them to me but its now been a month and after a few PM's no reply so looks like im going to have to go about it the hard way as i need 4 new tyres badly!! (id likely get 3 points per tyre!) so i cant...
