they look ok to me

it needs looking at to see what's happening. Guessing will only ever give you a long list to check anyway....so just check

the lifters do NOT fail. it will be early signs of dephaser giving up the ghost

normally mount on the bumper iron, hung from underneath. Any more than 13 row is overkill. I'd more likely spec a 10 row. removing the undertray makes a noticable difference to oil temperature on track, I'd do that first. If you still think you need a cooler then you must 100% use a...

really nice. I want to get either a sunflower or an exclusive fairly soon

In that case I think a set of Vmaxx coilovers would probably suit you really well. They're really quite compliant for the road

BMC CDA is a bad filter setup. Strangles the engine

you're WELL within renault oil usage limits

change your sparkplugs too, and use a little white grease on the coil to plug connection. Worn plugs and bad connections put extra load on the coils

1 litre in 8000km is hardly anything in a high output engine. Does the engine ever get a good thrash? if not I'd start doing so

if you're going second hand, they you're restricted to whatever comes up TBH.

i'd try cleaning out the current one again, and while you're there check the innsides of the boost pipes. I've seen a few become very clogged I'd also suggest a diagnostics plug-in

like most things there's a lot of possibles. Could be one of the obvious list like leaking rocker cover or cam seal, but it could be something odd. Mine was smoking from the same place and it turned out to be a leaking inner CV boot spraying grease onto the manifold. Needs investigation to find...

at the very least, slacken the upper aux tensioner bolt and top alternator bolt, should allow it to slide forward enough to get the manifold in and out. However, I personally prefer the complete disassembly method also. That way you know each and every bit is individually fitted correctly

Talk to Andy at K-tec. He will have fitted the SMT-6 way back before proper access was possible to the stock ECU. He'll be able to reverse the wiring very easily and do you a custom re-map of the stock ecu

as above, it's very common to have them welded up

No, I have faith in the standards ratings TBH. If an oil meets a standard then it's as good as any other of that same standard. Some of the very top line oils excede the requirements (like royal purple) but they're not really necessary in road car most of the time

the inner joint on the track rod having play in it is VERY common. The dealer you're using either has a cheek to claim they dont know this, or is just lying. My car has a worn inner end right NOW. Am i changing the rack??? Am i hell

i wouldn't unless it's a track only car that's trailered to events I've built/been involved with cars before with perspex side windows, and yes it's a LOT lighter, but it's also noisy, cold and you lose the windows down function All IMHO of course

burpspeed car had them fitted before it had the perspex ones put in IIRC

I quite like the ride on H&R's for the road (not right for track IMO) but i really dont like what i've seen happen several times with the dampers, which is a LOT of lateral wear in the pistons causing knocking

THIS!!!!! I've always been a big advocate of getting the damping right. Matching the correct damping to springs is a HUGE deal. I think the reason people find Apex springs so bad is that they're completely wrong for the standard dampers

i must be being blind, I can't see the mileage? Have to say condition first mileage second as far as finding a good one goes.

that's a reasonable rundown of what you need to do, but makes sure you let water come out the bleed screw hole between stage 2 & 3 :)

box is approx 3.1 litres of 75w90 GL4

I wouldn't say live with it!!! but i wouldn't panic that it's going to go boom. It needs changing as soon as you can reasonably do it, ie a few weeks wont hurt. It's always a cambelt replacement job. TBH though a recent cambelt replcament from a known specialist will help a lot with the sale

as above. LIVID with orange at the moment!!!! STILL no 2.2 Rooting very soon if they dont sort their s**t out

when you coming in for matched inlets? ;)
