once it's snapped off you will have to remove the driveshaft and drift it out from above I recon. I've had to use an air-hammer/chisel to remove them in extreme circumstances so if you can't get it out you just need to use more force. A chisel knocked into the split at the back will open up the...

very unlike a clio ;) it's an aweful system on my car as standard so the extra control you gain is huge. My tyres aren't the best brand at the moment though so I just dont push it at all in the wet. I'm hoping I can fit the 406 coupe calipers onto my 205 so I'll have an almost identical setup to...

not linked, only thing the standard ECU is doing on your current setup is rev counter and water temp gauge

blob of weld? be reet ;)

de-ABS'd my 200sx and it's the best mod i've done, you'll love it!

bet those dont get used often though, most pics i've seen are a blob of MIG or straight TIG with what looks like virtually no filler rod used

also have to account for dissimilar metals, those welds can looks strong, but fracture very easily if the steels are very different (which they will be as the circlip is a spring for a start)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project LOL I did the audit/certification testing for half that range a couple of years ago

he doesn't mean 12 sensors, he means 12 plug-ins,

I was going to ask if it was better with the lambda on, but that seems a silly question ROFL Glad you're happy with it

get a picture

not quite. The loom Ben has is not quite the same as the loom in the kits as he wants to get rid of the standard ECU, so he has a few more connections to make. Clio specific looms are only in kits at the moment :)

silicone will be fine

and it's the best colour. Loved my morello s13

730 on race fuel at ND wasn't it?

CA18DET FTW TBH :D that car is EPIC

They ARE jenvey SFs, no manifold existed for the 197 head until we (well, Darren) made one

ghettooooo fabulous I think you'll find ;)

nice one :) shout me if you get stuck with the turbo swap or need anything.

if you look at the gearbox, there's a hole on the top near the front with timing marks. The flywheel has a notch that's normally highlighted with paint. align the flywheel mark with the 0 mark on the gearbox casting and use a small pry-bar to jam the fly. I normally leave the lock pin in the...

depends how knackered the engine is really. A very dirty gummed up engine is probably best left without using it as you can disturb buildup. On an engine that's had oil in for too long and it's a bit neglected and maybe slightly tappy it's no bad thing at all. On a well maintained engine it's...

Charlie is the nuts, I've travelled for lots of hours (4 each way with a trailer) to have work done by him before.

not last time i heard, but call the office. I dont deal with sales etc generally :)

high idle when cold sounds normal. No real indicators it needs doing until it breaks, but if you've done a few you can take the top cover off and kind of tell when a belt is old and dry. If you've no evidence it's been done then just do it

It's honestly cheaper to just buy a full kit, you get every sensor, bracket, p-clip, and bolt you need for the entire job, and a full set of instructions AND a good map for no extra cost. Injectors, standard ones will be fine until you raise compression most of the time 172/182 uses pico 042...

Passed me (in red 200sx) as I was heading to the IOW ferry, looked nice :)

doing 1000 miles under 3k just means the rings wont bed in properly for the first 1000 miles. Worst thing you can do on a new engine is cruising under no load. Constantly changing revs, lots of over-run, and gradually using higher revs as you do more miles until you've done 1000 (with an oil...

mild steel has a nicer sound to it IMO. I make exhaust for myself in mild. Stainless exhaust will generally last longer, but when you run cars low like I do you expect the exhaust to take a few knocks, and stainless is more likely to crack

it does have that stamped on the block at the back, not sure why

that's how I liked it best and how I'll remember it, most badass car EVER.
