does it matter?

should do ok with 421s. wont do 240 though!!!. think the high comp engine we mapped (didn't build it) with 421s did 221bhp, cams were holding it back IMO.

graph comparison being done when i saved it. dont have the software to edit the title

ignore the title on the graph, it's not the turbo car

you wont do top power if you stick under 7500. depening on cams you'll likely find the power is still rising at the limiter if you do that. Uploading a graph now....

buying from the rag and bone man FTL ;)

they're ALL made in the same factory i recon. there's no difference between any of them at all. They're always all perfectly weight matched and end/end balanced which is better than oe ;)

rod requirement is down to revs. I would for a proper build, why take the risk.

THIS!!!!! if it's a cup the belt is under £15 and about 10 minutes work to change!!!! (minimum 30 mins labour is likely)

knife edging, i dont have anyone to recommend, balancing I can arrange (though you're down south IIRC) not revealing my trade sources though ;)

I wouldn't bother personally, most places that offer it as a service dont know how to do it to give a real gain. A straight cut edge wont really help that much, you need a profiled shape. A full close tollerence balance will give the biggst gains (and really makes a difference to the F4R)

no not really the same. The mk1 subframe kicks up at the front by quite a few inches more

no, you need the spanner, it's on teeth and you wont get enough tension with just your hand. you say THE belt, but there's 2 ;) have you checked both?

pretty much this. Apex springs are bad, mmkay

as already said, the only thing you've listed that you wont need to do anyway is the aux belt (which is pretty easy on a 1.2 8v), and you'll want to do that on the new engine anyway, along with the cambelt The 1.8 8v is a cracking engine, i'd happily own most renaults that came with it. I want...

Fairly likely to be the TB, but worth plugging in to diagnostics as these engines can be plagued with faults if you get a bad one. Seen 11 fault codes come up, 8 of which fixed by a new upper loom, and even then it needed all new gaskets on the rocker cover and inlet manifold (big vac leak)...

no other parts needed, just a software change basically

i feel so dirty liking a ford as much as i do that first mk1

DrRollos broken pulley was the exhaust cam pulley NOT THE DEPHASER

Re: Left 4 Dead Deuce this should excite me, but ive bought COD MW2 and Forza 3 in the last 3 weeks, i've got enough games to keep me going AGES

at least there's someone with taste on this thread. I want one TBH. Black, decked and laid back

I think piper are doing a new system at the moment, possibly after a test fit vehicle. Their 182 system is perfect IMO

customer was very happy. Not overly loud on idle and sounded nice going up the road. I dislike having to cut the standard system behind the cat though, but that's the same for all cat back systems on the 197

fitted a miltek to a 197 the other day, nice bit of kit actually

checked your oil recently?

should be fine then. Just get it in to them and i'm sure Steve will find the problem.

one of the belts a bit slack? who did the cambelt before?

I agree on the thermostat ;) you need one, it'll struggle to get up to running temperature if you dont use it

it mioght work if you got it low, and mean OFFENCIVELY low

talk to K-tec, they're nice and local to you and have demo cars you can go out in
