fair point, typing slip TBH. I ment it was semi i think you've got lost in some alternate reality where people drive racing cars on the road, and are prepared to actually part with far more money than they need to. FFS i've seen people penny pinch and not run a lambda at all just to save a few...

Prefered it as an MR2

Paul C on heres (dont think he posts anymore) mum has a 1.6 8v auto. that's a fun drive, i can tell you

dont bother with EBC disks or pads, the discs will have no grooves left in no time at all, and the pads will fall to pieces. Standard disks from a reasonable quality manufacturer (ATE, Brembo, QH, etc) and some Mintex 1144 pads, and you should have lots of feel back

the second lambda doesn't change anything, it's basically a warning to tell you if the cat is faulty. if you want the light to go out, you can remove the sensor from the exhaust, but leave it plugged in so it's only seeing clean air. you will need a blank to replace where the sensor was screwed in.

Wideband sensors are £60-£100 these days, they're normally the same sensor used as OEM on VAG vehicles and others, so they're quite accessable. Wideband reading/monitoring/logging equipment is around £300-£500. Where the hell has £1k come from? Price is no indication of suitability for the job...

enkei = correct YOU get an A* Pristeen wheels near Milton keynes for a proper refurb of split rims

ROFL, probably degraded to 92 RON by now!! 95 IMO will be fine in a standard car that's not been re-mapped, in all by the hottest weather. The air temperature will have KILLED performance in the last few days

earth strap from the box to the subframe.

have serious doubts about this, the injectors wouldn't support anything like that

Looked amazing with the other wheels. It's a well known car, and i really like it

incorrect. narrowband is always faster for CONTROL, ie fuel trim so unreliable, the AA and RAC keep renault pencil coils onboard their vans. Poor justification for spending to "upgrade" when there's nothing wrong with wasted spark. You would see no discernable benefit in driving. i didn't...

that's accounting for the dish in the piston crown and the head gasket thickness also isn't it?

My personal view is that there' no discernable difference until you get to highly modded. I've also seen the collector get incredibly hot (glowing on the verge of transparent) on the 172 variant, so it's my belief the 182 manifold helps keep EGTs lower. That brings benefits in itself.

are you using a flat piece of perspex with 2 holes drilled, and some grease on the head face to make a seal? brake cleaner or de-greaser is good to use.

if you need wideband control, the mapping is wrong. Narrowband on omex can make 30% changes in either direction if needed, and narrowband is actually faster to react in driving so is the right thing to use. The Omex 710 wil do fully sequential fuel and ignition, however, the 1*2 has a wasted...

depends entirely on the silencer used, if it's straight through, there will be no difference.

Awesome. Permanent cold start. Perfect

some may charge a small retest fee, some will do it free inside 24 hours, it varies. most do free within 7 days, and i wouldn't go anywhere that didn't

leaving the undertray off made a difference to on track temps too.

i would, but it's essential to run a thermostatic sandwich plate.

technically it's an inlet plenum, and the lower part is a manifold

0.86 is what i have. I absolutely love it to bits

that was for sale in swansea for AGES. It used to have much better wheels. AFAIK it's the ONLY one in the UK

private joke ;) I do hate them with every part of me though. Only second on my hate list to the Nissan SR20

no way in hell that all 4 springs were cracked, so that's b****cks, and they're about £25 each anyway. Brake discs should have been about £50 for the pair, not each. End of the day, Kwikfit can charge what they like, and you took the car there and agreed for them to do the work, so there's not...

he didn't ;)

k-tec ones are spot on. If you fit them all loosely first, then tighten them once they're all on it should reduce the extra vibration

it's 30mm

gay engine Friggin AWESOME turbo though, my personal favourite!! Which exh housing is it?
