can do. I'd go for discs too if you're changing pad compound. you wont get anything like the best from decent pads if your disks are contaminated with a different compound

my own place near Bedford in a few weeks time :)

around £140

the reservoir shouldn't leak. If the lid is leaking it could have a damaged seal or not be tightened enough

oh, hang on a second......are they billet cams or are they re-grinds?

certainly going to be the pads

as discussed in another thread (may have been in a members only area) never ever seen a lifter fail, and only ones i've heard of being diagnosed as failed have turned out to be the dephaser afterall. F4R Lifters DONT fail

£5 p/m is oranges basic "upto 500mb" tarriff. My money's on that being what's applied to the account. Call them and ask though

there's 2 versions actually. Renault dont seem able to tell which is which from chassis numbers either

sounds like the bottom shock mounting has been damaged. The debris you heard was most likely the shock mounting bolt falling out

6 sided socket is probably your best bet. fingers crossed there's enough of the nut left for it to grip the sides if that wont go, you'll have to try a slightly smaller socket and hammer the s**t out of it to get it on

ITG filters are just expensive in comparison to direct equivalents from other manufacturers. KTR filter is pipercross with a KTR logo, so very good quality, and probably the best performing filter for the standard box that you'll get for a clio

how rude. I always say hello :) should be down again soon, missing the beach

there's no marking's on the pulley, they dont work in that way.

yes, that's how it works. The owner of the car that was stolen is responsible for the car, the theft cover on theri insurance will include damage done by their vehicle whilst stolen

ITG's quite restictive as panel filters go for the clio. but as you have it, give it a thorough clean and lightly re-oil as they come massively over oiled from new

my prefered method is to leave the pulley in the part washer with a flow of de-greaser for as long as possible (normally ends up being 10-15 minutes) then rinse out with lots of brake cleaner. the inside of the pulley and the end of the cam (basically the parts that touch) have to be completely...

all it is is a pressure regulator. all it does it force more fuel in when you turn the fuel pressure up. It can't give a power increase just by doing that

i'm confident it will be the pulley. the fact it's noisy staright after a belt change suggests it maybe wasn't slackened off from the cam and cleaned out thoroughly

about 165bhp

to some extent yes. the way these engines are, when the timing is set wrong, it makes the cam setup milder which gives a smoother idle due to less overlap.

variable valve timing pulley I wouldn't bother changing it if it's not a problem already, especially on a cup. I would always change it for a discount if it became an issue after a belt change, and on a cup it's simple.

I've noticed this on some cars. Normally when they've been timed up wrong before being re-done.

virbatechnics mounts are great if correctly fitted. If they're very harsh, they're not correctly fitted

cheap

12Nm

they come with a sleeved adaptor that slides in. The step down is in the adapter, so you can just not use it and fit a straight section to the cat if you wanted. I've made a couple of de-cats with just the front cat flange and a straight section sleeved into the "cat-back" system

i'm confused by what parts you have fitted. You have a cup IIRC, but your pic shows a ph1 throttle body

182 manifold effects the entire rev range. The 172 manifold although fine for peak power, creates a series of peaks and troughs in the torque curve, particularly in the lower half of the rev range. Probably wont notice the difference unless you're stringing it together with a series of other...

which bit of the strut were they touching? quite often the coilovers are just set too low so the adjustable spring seat fouls the tyre. You just have to raise the height if this is the case Is yours a ph1 also? the ph1 wheels have a quite high ofset so sit in the arch and close to the strut
