Well now you've changed the discs and pads I can confidently say it's doing the same as Wobba's mk1 did when it was mapped by APD. Your throttle opening at idle is very very low meaning the idle is being artificially raised with too much ignition timing. Closely related to why the cold start is...

that was an error, sorry. It's never been that low

It's got a very hard pedal like you get if you pump the brakes with the engine off. Car had brake issues before with the previous owner, and a new one way valve improved it. I changed the shoddy servo vac pipes on it as they were leaking, kinked and too soft so being sucked flat. so there's...

speak to a parts department if you really want to use genuine (I wouldn't, they're arse rape prices) they're graded as standard with colour codes so there's multiple part numbers. Personally I would use some decent quality non genuine items, and carefully check the clearances

get your tape measure out, you could possibly have 236mm disks, but more likely 258mm

they dont run one, has he ever done a clio clutch before?

consistently 5% higher at TDF

sheared bolts are down to over tightening, end of story Had some tyres fitted a few months back and asked the fitter what he was doing my front bolts up to. 130Nm apparently. No you're bloody not!!!!!!

agree whole heartedly. I've seen no end of 200sx's that have "executive" on the logbook, 3 of my own had it, but they were all 1993 models and the exec was only made in 1991. Pure and simple DVLA oversight. I also bought a green mk1 golf once, and the logbook said silver. I found the VIN plate...

I use my ITB'd mk1 (which is Bex's old car, although I added the bodies) as a daily too, And I'll do the same on the 172 I've just bought once I've rebuilt the engine. Nothing beats the noise, and they're so nice to drive

he had jenvey DCOE bodies on an F4R in a mk1 running a canems ECU from me, and mapped by Andy, until it dropped a valve in seemingly increasingly common F4R style :( awesome fun on track until it died. Bex's car is lovely. I was with Andy on the rollers until 2am the night before FCS 2009...

ok, well the Gaz setup is hideous for road and track, so just get rid of those and buy another set for the track car

you crack on then ;)

genuine on the back, and pretty much anything but EBC on the front, but normally APEC or Pagid

what coilovers are they? being cup packed they'd probably sell quite easily and you could just get some that fit

on a car with a single fuel line to the rail, the regulator is in the tank. It's integral to the fuel pump assembly, so that needs pulling out to change the regulator

wouldn't use either drilled or grooved. Just reduces surface area

I like these. Played a with a few in my 200sx days and they really handle amazingly. Changing exhausts on them is a thoroughly hateful experience though, as is changing the turbo

drilled disks really are f**king gash

it's down to a lazy fuel pressure regulator. Turn the ignition on without starting the engine, then off again, then on and start the car. it will 100% start first time

a non cup 182, and a 172 cup should be the same. It's only the cup pack 182 thats an issue

mega rear camber wont help, thats just reducing your contact patch. However.....Lift off oversteer?? why are you lifting in bends?

the only wire thats normally cut for a piggyback is the MAP sensor signal wire,

hence the EPIC headfuck I'm having at the moment over what to do with mine

would you like me to spit first? ;)

yes it will, thats about where I'd want to aim at, maybe a touch higher even, but keep it under 250 for a bit of a safety margin

yeah yeah, it's quick, but you still have to live with being welsh ;)

opis are salesmen. their tech stuff is all cut and paste. They dont know specific vehicle requirements. I've had a similar discussion with them on Williams clio when they were trying to sell fully synth engine oils. the F7R drinks fully synth like water

go on clio16valver and speak to "kj16v" he's rather good with the standard mk1 ECU, mapped silverhornetclio's supercharged valver
