half? Dont think i've seen a faulty lambda show up as a fault in the last 2 years, but they still give incorrect readings.
Misfiring makes me thing it's more likely an ignition based fault
come in, stop for 3 seconds, go. Faster than someone climbing in and out of a cart, saved themselves about 10 seconds each time, and i think they did it 3 times
Burpspeed won it. Pulled out a pretty big lead due to a quite frankly genius pit strategy of not actually changing drivers when they did their pit stops.
support the engine on a jack (use a piece of wood if your jack doesn't have a large saddle) remove the upper engine mount bracket, then lower the engine a little. Should help

Brilliant day, team event was definitely a really good way to go. Still say the result was a fix though ;)
other systems save more weight than that though. The stock system is a bit of a behemoth.
wont be anything even close to 10bhp gain. maybe 1 or 2 if you're lucky ;)
all stainless systems grow a little when hot, nothing you can do about it really.
All the most popular systems run a single box. You're going to see no power advantage from 2 boxes, but you will see more weight
From the point of view of having fitted most of them........I wouldn't discount the piper, it's one of the best quality. Miltek systems crack, one of the highest returns rates, and fitting is a complete arse. The KTR/Janspeed system is nice, Fits really well and really easily, the Ultra is...
Nothing at all wrong with the braking power of drums, they just get hotter a lot faster and fade. Clio rears do very little anyway so don't bother upgrading, just make sure everything is working as intended. Fronts I would again make sure everything is operating correctly, and if needed just new...
That in honesty sounds like a case of using a turbo thats too small and over working it. Small turbos just turn into air warmers once they pass peak efficiency. Bigger turbo, less boost, same air flow, less heat
I agree. Used different sizes, dozens of times and always with good results. Cars with same spec as yours had no issues with intake temps Adey, always very good. Nor retarding the ignition timing to s**t helps though lol
indeed ;) a compression test is only really useful if you know what you should be seeing to start with, but done in hot, cold, wet and dry (oiled) conditions can tell you a hell of a lot about where a fault lies
for reference, I would expect a stock engine to make 170-190psi and a high compression fully built engine with something like cat 422s to be around 230psi
