on it's own, no,but it will flow a bit more air than a paper element, and it's cleanable. I'd get a k-tec panel filter personally, half the price and easily as good

VVT operates at 1800rpm :S

I've done it quite a few times in the car, it's a bit awkward getting the sump past the subframe, getting height is the key. Wouldn't go to the effort just to clean it out though, unless there's a problem you know about.

we're not that far from the welsh border :)

there's quite a lot to it, but in simple terms, higher compression means higher cylinder temperatures, meaning a greater propensity to detonation, so you have to run less ignition timing. Lowering compression reduces cylinder temps. Now, add boost into the equation and cylinder temps rocket, so...

just badly painted from new IMO. some jenolite and a coat of something flexible and jobs a goodun

they're ok to be loose radially but they should not be loose if you pull the joint in/out

got a couple of these in a bag at work, I'll check tomorrow. Renault will be able to find them if you go to the parts desk though

cam bearing journals are line bored

like that a lot, especially the shocker sticker :D

got a 182 system that i took off last week, sounds like there's about 2 litres in there. It sloshes about like nothing you've ever seen in an exhaust.

the head/ports are VERY different

better value for money by far. I find H&Rs too soft anyway. KW, I can't think of the last set i saw on a car. FK and GAZ these walk over. They dont look much though (it's a £300 set of coilovers)

bargain at the price, very surprised at the ride they gave myself. I was expecting to need filling re-doing but they're quite nice

snapped balljoint so a splitter is about as much use a farting ;)

they can be tricky, if you're using a pressure bleeder you should try pumping the pedal 5-10 times to purge the master cyl with a nipple open

if it's before or very close to the lambda sensor then it's possible

you wont be able to use some functions because the stock ECU isn't running the engine. The economy meters lie anyway

we have pics from doing the install manual mate. I'll direct Andy to this thread later :)

less is more ;)

you'll never see an engine that has no carbon on the piston crown unless it's been running lean or hot (in which case it burns the carbon off)

very faint vertical marks are totally normal and unavoidable. a hone will get rid of it, but you'll probably see some light marks again when you put new pistons in. Are you sure the carbon is as thick as that? some is normal edit - we know it's not over fueling as we checked it

renault, but EPICLY expensive. Carbon ones are a bargain in comparison

clears by a mile if you turn it upside down when you're half way out

yup, it's a french thing. awkward sods

that'd be quite smart if it was lower

yeah obviously lol, just get it up nice and high so the axle drops RIGHT down

the new balljoint should slide in fairly easily once it's lined up. A few blows with a soft faced mallet to tap it in will see you right. you will have to line up the bolt hole with the cut-out to be able to get the bolt back in

+100000000000000000000 get it as high as it will go with the dampers unbolted, then slide it out, twist 180deg and slide it the rest of the way out. normally get one off in 10-15 minutes on the ramp on my own (bit frigging heavy getting it outthe last bit on your own at full height on a 2...
