depends how much you're planning on selling it for

it's a dick of a job. Wheels off, clean up shitty CV grease, re-pack the boot. What's the hourly rate charged by your company??

I prefered esprit turbo challenge C4XvvMxhKsk GT3 is still my fave TBH, can't believe there's not another single mention of it

nothing wrong with jubilees

placebo. the ph1 head is better. the old engine musy have been screwed

no, they're platinum

I dont follow the crowd, and i dont do what i'm told ;)

it's awesome having an under-rated car with a powerful engine. I'd have my RSI over a 182 pretty much every time

dont fill it full of crap!!!!!!! you'll never get it out and you'll never have fully effective cooling/coolant flow. if the headgasket has blown, fix it

do you have the renault workshop manual? it's on the fastchips website for download IIRC. not managed to find a group n build manual yet. Andy has one for the F7R/P and it's incredibly useful

dont need to touch the belt end. You will need to remove the cam blanking plugs though. There's no "cheat" way to do it

it was about 15-20bhp down IIRC. nothing to do with the wrong head being fitted, it was just one of the "bad ones"

my laptop hit 80 and switched off the other day. it's an AMD dual core. too long playing games on facebook. Fail

i meant the magazine mis-quoted what it was told. Adam is a lovely guy and a good photographer, but i think he was slighly overwhelmed. One of the articles said the knock sensor was used to adjust fueling........lol. magazines aren't the best source for technical data. wasn't 37bhp either

if the knock sensor is limiting power, you have an issue with detonation. Unplugging the sensor just means you're engine is going to get damaged. I'd imagine the problem you have is down to air temp and fuel quality

not a fan of any iridium plugs, they break up with the slightest hint of detonation. If you're running without a cat, use NGK BCPR6ES, if you have a cat, use PFR6E-10

probably got a bore full of water causing a hydro-lock. could have caused rod damage, but unlikely unless it stalled because of the water in the bore. I'd have a go at fixing it, done a couple of these recently and they're not hard to work on

i'd fix the engine you have TBH, but if you get another one, do the timing belt no question, whatever is claimed about it. No special locking tools needed

renault are great aren't they. yes there's a gasket there

huge miss-quote. That head was machined to bring it back to the correct CR, but only because of a manufacturing tollerence fault

wont effect the timing, it's literally one idler mounts on a spacer different you have both bottom ends anyway, so just use whichever spacer you need

god i'm glad i'm 30. screw £2k on insurance. My trade insurance is less than half that

lol, this the one you told me about? thought you might have it for yourself. Looks a goodun

those things that clip on the standard belt? they make me so angry. How to ruin your in car safety system in one easy step

you dont "get" it do you?

i've heard some stuff. Most likely the normal SXOC keyboard warrioring. Mike's a top bloke.

you've never touched an MX5 then. hardest oil filter change EVER.

i'm going off the price quoted, and knowing what most of the specialists on here charge. There should be no extra labour charge on top of doing the cambelt, so just the part price at ~£150

been supplied the wrong discs I think.

as above. Everything is ECU controlled so no tweaking of the dizzy, TPS, AFM, fuel distribution block, like on the cars you mention. A bit of maintenance on the other hand will go a long way. Fresh plugs, clean the throttle body and change the oil and you'll find the car driving much nicer
