Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 2nd and 3rd aren't much better. 4th is fun, but not on KWs going into a Bend. LOL

Those lower arm bush sleeves dont look like you've welded them in. Very important that you do or they'll move and eat into the subframe. Lovely build so far :)

There's little or no HP difference in stage 1 and 2, it's all torque

it was £46+vat at one point IIRC the one i use is identical, but cheaper ;) The NWP ones dont fit because they've sourced them from the wrong vehicle IMO. They also seem to be different every time.

the seatbelt pre-tensioner uses the same pyrotechnics as an airbag. it's most like that that you are smelling. if the airbag had fired, you'd know about it

Ah, you might have to pay up for membership then ;)

Hello :) Trying to sort out a regular meet in or around MK at some point. in the mean time, come to my open day :D http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?554579-519-Automotive-Open-Day

taken a few 1.4 and 1.6 16v heads off and they've only had 1 dowel. It's been a while but i'm pretty sure the counter sink is there on 2 holes

Pipercross is the least restrictive. ITG is hugely over oiled when it's new, and more expensive

the boots dont split, the clips break off. You need good clips and not cable ties as the boot is plastic, and not rubber. I keep the proper clips in stock as it's such a common issue

you need a complete kit, not a cheap pattern one either, the £6 ones are complete pish. The one i do for £25 is OE quality

I use an Orange Dongle at work. There's sod all reception on any other network. It works fine, but the software update they did recently isn't very stable. I reverted and it's spot on again

did you replace the complete kit, ie bolts springs and washers, or just the ring? and was it a cheap gasket?

Lambda i'd say

they've been advertising this for over a year IIRC. 15 is a lot for something like this. Dont think i know of 15 turbo'd clios in total

oh, and that must be worth attempting to drill and extract those before you start pulling the crank out?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu how in gods name did you manage that????!!!!?!?!?! must have been over tightened surely? thats unreal, never seen anything like it.

No, doesn't have to if you bung the 2nd lambda hole and leave the sensor plugged in, but not fitted to the exhaust

it's best practice to replace shocks as an axle pair. You'll be fine to just change the rears without doing the fronts, as long as the fronts are in a usable state

Love the monkey. Met him once, wow he's short

sounds like the starter motor solenoid has been cooked. time for a new one

Birchdown without a second though. Steve will sort you out :)

for that price they should be doing both anyway

i'm going with broken CV boot clip covering the ABS ring

i'd do a stud conversion (that may be what SRB have quoted you for). Safer way to do it

yup, non vented wont fit tbh, they'll be far too narrow. You've just been sent the wrong ones

very very rare for the waterpump to be an issue, and it's also not cambelt driven. I'd suggest Birchdown would be the only logical choice for your location, maybe not the cheapest in the area, but the job will be right

Dont know the whereabouts of the car, but i've seen that exhaust manifold up for sale recently, I'm sure of it (being that it's not the normal cast iron type)

same reason my rsi was put onto omex years ago, stock F7R ECU had a s**t fit from the pulses in the plenum

I wouldn't fit re-profiled cams. 421s are very good, but as said are tricky on the standard ECU. Planning on doing it though, as last time i saw it tried, the available control of the ECU was far less. I just need to buy a car lol
