did a 182 6 months ago

dont think he's slept in about 4 days, and he's doing a uni presentation next week for final year project

as above. Laguna 1.8 8v belt is identical to a 172cup belt

if the battery has started to get weak (and the cold will highlight this) then the alternator will be under extra electircal load just after startup. This can cause a little belt slip

one of the sloppy set was one of your old sets ;). Not the recently sold ones BTW. sure they're fine

tracked down knocking to lots of play in the piston on more than a few sets. one set was 800 miles old

Tom's got a good setup on his car. SHOCKING gains :eek: I called him a liar at first when he told me the before and after from the dyno testing LOL. Finalising a kit AFAIK. await confirmation ;)

seen more H&R's with knackered dampers than any other coilovers

just double checked. 78% nitrogen, 21% Oxygen

you dont it's the biggest waste of time EVER AIR is about 80% nitrogen to start with

not run one of my own. That's the next stage ;) Fitted many sets, and maintained the cars too. Bex ITB'd 172 for instance does much better than standard MPG, and has done 204bhp on different dynos. Who's the mapper?

all down to mapping. Shouldn't be much different to standard, and some cars are better

cold is probably getting to the battery. I'd expect it to get worse over the winter

yes, but you can make an s13 hit 200bhp for the price of 2 washers an exhaust, and an air-filter. owned 3 in 10 years ;)

i normally just go and watch people faceplant while i'm nice and warm with a hot chocolate, PMSL

warranty? always change a pair too

i've never actually used the slope at xscape. I should do it really, it's 15 mins away.

it may make more power than the standard inlet did at the same point, but it will feel flat as the power will be dropping off

Chadil do a DCOE manifold for the F4R. Quality is pretty questionable with most chadil stuff though. That looks like a chadil manifold you have with the bodies

James (Jamestone) goes there snowboarding

those belts are ROOOOOOOOUGH!!!!

Prob looks like this under the kit

remove the top mount top-hat. you should see where it's been rubbing. Minor grinding (renault do this too) on the spots where it hits, sorts it out

mi16 inlet port is 40mm and round though, as are the runners on the stock Mi16 inlet manifold. Different engine. 40s on an F4R wouldn probably still give gains as you say, just not optimal. Seen ITBs on an F4R that are too small and it hold back the top end significantly. Still makes power...

yes, look at the cross sectional area

loook at the size of the runners on the inlet

40s will strangle a 2 litre. are they DCOE's?

and in addition to the above, if you put it in the wheel well, you're raising the center of gravity

cat 225s. F7R's dont use F4R cams ;)

put it back on diagnostics and look at the mVolt readings for the lambda. pre-cat should cycle between 0 and 1000 (give or take, in reality is'a about 40-900) if it's not cycling, or not going full range the sensor is suspect. Wont normally pick up a code for that either
