Boge are pretty decent, used them a fair number of times on different cars. Only fitted one pair to a 182, but it drove very nicely after

they are broken. you can see from the graph that it was done on another local DD rollers

it's a pretty big pain tbh, i can see it being at least 4 hours, so an average of 5 isn't unreasonable.

in theory it should all be programmable on your scenic ecu, if the place you chose to do the work has access to enough of the ecu code. I'd take a guess that it's a siemens sirius32 ecu, so all the info should be transferable

that car is an ex palmersport cup racer

that's running very rich which will lose you a fair chunk of power. I'd put it mostly down to the ECU having the wrong idle parameters for 172 cams tbh. You're going to need a full custom remap, it's not going to run nicely until you get it done

yeah that's right :)

Nothing special about Valeo, nothing bad about SACHS. They're both prevalent OEM suppliers

can be checked without removing the bumper, might have to remove the bumper>subframe undertray to get good access though

LOL!!!!! it's 10 minutes to remove the bumper and it would have saved them 3 hours+ If it was routed wrong it wouldn't tension right unless they got very lucky

i would have done thermostat first. definitely do it now

Re: FAO CS Mechy's - Is it possible for the rear caliper piston to come all the way o sounds like the caliper has seized, cooked the pad by being on all the time, and then fallen apart. Might be ok, but sounds like new caliper time

Piper 182 system does that TBH. It's lovely and quiet until you de-cat

something like £900+vat for cat back system, and £800+vat for the cat

coolant has corrosion inhibitors. You dont want to run without coolant for extended periods. In the short term it will be fine, although it's likely to get hot easier

Jenson interceptor 2nd last xjr-s ever made Ferrari dino Bentley turbo r 300zx twin turbo Lancia thema turbo

Lol, did you get the fan to kick in yet?

it's just a jenvey plenum on an ITB manifold with SF spacers instead of ITBs. used on a fair number of other engines already

coolant sensor will see about 95 degrees if you leave the car idling on a warm day.

he's converted to the returnless system of the ph2 mk2, tidys things up a treat actually :)

i dont see why not, it's not that much different to fitting ITBs with an airbox. You'd need to lose the AC though, there's be no way round that. Probably need a small rad too

I wouldn't get paranoid about a couple of k a year either way personally unless it's actually a limit. An estimate of 10k is just that, an estimate. If you had a 3k a year restriction, and doing 10k then you have a problem. or similarly if you were doing 30k and told them you were doing 10k...

it's the adapter part that costs the money, the filters themselves are cheap. Probably gone up a bit since i bought one, but call somewhere like SRB-power and ask for just an element, pretty sure there's one to fit the s14 afm. HKS filter is £289 new

you'll get more on ebay for an hks filter than a brand new apexi will cost, they're only about £40

eh? fixed pressure regs are easy to get. Webber make several different pressures

I'd get a fixed pressure regulator TBH, adjustable ones are just unreliable and change the pressure they give randomly (especially FSE) s**t of someone to undo the lock nuts if that's what's happened :(

I've repaired a couple of 1.2 8v engines with failed belts, they're a very good engine (under powered, but good) and worth fixing if it ran well before. I'd think around £500 to fix all in. I did one with 155k on the clock last year, had a look at the bores with the head off and they were like...

Ben Taylor went through 11 (?) manifolds and each and every one cracked, one of them was a £900 manifold and the wastegate port broke off after a few weeks. Mild steel FTMFW, stainless can't deal with the heating cooling cycles involved with turbos Lose the HKS filter as a matter of...

14 inch steelie for my mk1. Last time i put it on i got tempted to get a whole set, looked hardcore

Might get flagged on insuarace database and the police are likely to stop you if there's 2 insurances on the vehicle when they look on their computer. The reason it's illegal is really for protection against insurance fraud, easy to smash up a car and claim twice if you're a dishonest cnut.
