no, there's no rear camber adjustment on a mk1

it's going to struggle to sound like a screaming 6 cylinder. Closest you'll get wouyld be ITBs and cams

1.2 16v? it'll be a loom issue

pump it through until the fluid is coming out clean from each bleed nipple (keep the reservoir topped up). Normally takes about half a litre

it'll run it. Ideally it needs fiddling to be for the true trigger pattern, but it's been used before plenty of times

it's far more of an issue on a diesel

oh well thats a different story altogether. I would expect even piper 285 cams to be on the mild side (borderline as they're pretty decent) for that bottom end. The reality is, you've not going to see more than 175bhp with standard injectors due to their size, (they're actually maxed at 168bhp...

yes it can

erm, well there's me ;) which pipercams do you have, there's some which are very mild and some that are quite brutal. Also, where were they dialed in? there's a lot of instances of very poorly timed cams coming to light on the mk1 forums recently

it's been done. Carbs are crude as hell though. There's not a great deal of point in going that route IMO. ITBs if you're serious, or just a set of cams and a good remap.

loosening headbolts should be done in the reverse order of tightening. Not doing this can cause the head to warp

general rule is, you use a dowty washer when sealing to aluminium, and a copper washer when sealing to steel

yes

continental kits use an INA tensioner set which the same as in a gates kit, and Dayco are identical too

go to renault for the locking tools!!! same price give or take, and a much higher quality Serpentine tool looks ok, but not what i use

Better the devil you know imo. Rebuild and you have a fresh engine.

Incorrect. Will fit, but the tb is different. Not worth the agro

there's not many enignes I wouldn't bother with trying to get gains from, but the D4F is one of them

upper gearbox mount would be the obvious suspect

crank/tdc sensor

standard is stainless, and as good as you will ever get (unless you look at unlimited motorsport funding and run something like the proton rally team has)

good system. Works well on toyota 4AGE's

works for me now. Thats Cliolord's valver hybrid (it's not a williams!!!) just over 220bhp, ran 13.2 consistently that weekend, on normal road tyres oh and if you look, eveyrone is pushing cars down the staging lanes, thats just what people do, otherwise it's stop start all day, and you get a...

video isn't working for me but i'm assuming it's zmaster2k's hybrid (orange bits?) at skakespear raceway 2 weeks ago. The 182 would be a girl called Kelly

oh dear...... your timing will be out

you can't, they dont exist for that fitment I'm working on an alternative for 182 cup fitment (60mm) at the moment in the £800 region fully height and damping adjustment. Just waiting to be asked to provide the car to finalise fitment.

sorry, just realised you're on the rear and not the front. must have skim read that bit. Not sure whats doing on there really, unless one of the springs isn't seating properly

front wear wont tell you that much. The back of the disk will be worn out well before the front will be visibly shagged

the only 2 measurements that mean anything is the length of the thread below the spring seat, and then when the car is back on it's wheels, the distance from the center of the wheel, to the arch Also sounds like you've not measured the camber
