Spend a bit more and get an old RS Tuner?

No disrespect to Henk, or DanielG, but surely you can't produce the best map possible for the car without actually being with the car on a rolling road seeing what is going on in realtime?

Mazda 3 MPS

My 172 had one, as the little arm broke off which I had to fix for MOT....unless I'm thinking of the wrong part

Sounds a bit dephaser ish....did you have it changed along with the belts?

Thought it was the other way round Fred? The 172 has one, and the cup doesn't?

That front end offends my eyes :(

Yes but, if the second hand one fails, then it's a new belt job so gonna cost 600 quid with a new dephaser Luck of the draw though really. There could be nothing wrong with the 2nd hand one

There would be a decrease in performance surely if the compression was low enough that it rolled while in gear?

Yes mate thats me, how you doin pal?

All this talk of how cheap 1*2s are goin for is making me consider another. Seems a lot of people go from a clio to something else, and then back again Nice to see another stokie too, where bouts you from mate?

Looks like its been chewed by a hamster

Re: engine mod advise No 1.48 valve? I'd get the others checked

People actually contemplate getting loans to buy things for a Clio!?!?

Got rid of my 172 and bought my Mazda 3 MPS, which is runnin around 300bhp now. I'm currently returning it back to standard to sell and am tempted to buy a ph1 to cam/throttle body. I miss my 172 so much!! No one else understands what such a good car they are. So, no, it's not wrong to want...

re-circ valve + open filter sounds a lot better than a vent to atmosphere dump valve

You know what I meant, sealed like a piper cross viper is and the like

I lol'd hard! As it's not sealed, what's stopping the air inside the bucket getting hot?

I think he's coming round now naith

its a lot different mate im afraid

They do have mileage and age limitations, 35k and two years i think?? Sam will correct me. Its a rubber belt the same as the cambelt, so it also deteriates and also needs changing. If it snaps it can wrap round the crankpully and fetch the timing belt off

Of course they're service items!

Yes!!!!!exclamation mark

The cambelt kit alone is 250 quid....

Yeah the CTS is on the thermastat housing. Try replacing that as its cheap enough and if its old, then itll soon need replacing anyway. I'd chuck a new stat in too at the same time. Also take the throttle body off and give it a good clean and then see how that leaves ya

Re: Anyone know why there's high pitch beeping sound when Iput my hear near the whee Lmao!

Re: Anyone know why there's high pitch beeping sound when Iput my hear near the whee Sounds scotish

Re: Anyone know why there's high pitch beeping sound when Iput my hear near the whee A whirring noise and a beeping noise are two completely different noises. Which one is it and where exactly is it coming from

No it'll have to be re-mapped

It's the best experience I've ever had and also recommend it to anyone who's not been. I also spent around 400 quid all in so it can be done 'cheaply.' although saying that, I did use the free redline vouchers for my laps. There's a little holiday home village just round the corner from the...
