that dude needs help or sectioning maybe

Motrio stuff is pretty good, and essentially it IS genuine, just renaults budget brand. Save yourself £20, rears do f**k all anyway

i'd threadlock, 55Nm isn't very tight. a very light smear of sealent on the crank seal wont hurt and may help it slide in easier (lubrication)

perfect compliment for ITBs on a stock bottom end

yes. Ring-gear is quite strong, it's what the starter turns the whole engine with

jesus!

pry bar wedged into the ring-gear

no AC is just 1 aux belt, no tensioner. AC is 2 belts and a tensioner, the cost is different

replace upper looms regularly. there's loads of things on 1.2 16v that cause running issues. diagnostics will help

do you have Aircon?

there's a tech update from renault about valve heads. Seen a few fall off, but IMO it's from over-revving and bouncing off the limiter. spoke to a guy from a works rally team that uses the F4 and he said they've had several failures due to heads falling off

why order parts? If people supply their own it's not worth it for a garage to do a job

fiddle with it til it works. Takes a while to realise how they function, but you'll have a moment of clarity and you'll see

it's pretty easy. Still always sensible to go to someone that knows the car. Water pumps are prone to leaking, and tensioners are wrongly fitted and adjusted on a lot that i see

or, 4. know that you dont need special locking tools for a 1.2 16v ;) I do a LOT of 1.2s. Talk to Tom@JMS

change the stat (few £) and clean the temp sensor up to get any scaling off :)

yeah should be able to use one from an F7R. just mod the mounting brackets

MASSIVE homo

probably gonna cost you more to engineer something. Remember the inlet cam has an oil feed bolt also. so without a VVT sprocket there's a fair few bits to work out. Get a VVT pulley IMO

due to manufacturing tollerence, the only way to know is to plasticine check really you could (although non VVT inlet cam would be better) but TBH, you're better off keeping VVT and mapping in the right switch points. There's definite benefits to it

love to know TBH. mystery to me.

LOl, if you say so. I like a car to be able to pull away below 4k. Telling people throttle bodied cars are all flat and crap low down cos you dont know how to do it right is just s**t

well using the one you use was worst ;) made fair gains with other maps but still not full potential that i've seen (using standalone) and know can be done

no good re-flash maps available for anything though. I've seen much better performance from cams and standalone. Every re-map on stock ECU has been disappointing. Got my own opinions on why that is. Never had access to stock ECU editing thogh for the clio though so not been able to prove it yet.

sensible. Pop over to JMS one day when i'm there and you can have a look at my mk1 RSI. Omex with full clubman loom fitted. Standalone is the only way to travel

pfft.....I meant Andy ;)

I'd not get any cams without standalone at the moment. f**k all maps that work properly at this point in time

are they in the catcams range now? ;) edit: dammit too slow. distracted by women of msn FTL

no. I meant the comparison graph was just created from 2 old power graphs
