worth plugging into diagnostics, quite a few rev counters are wrong. Seen them read 600rpm and the ecu says it's doing 800-850

16s unless going really low (needed to not look out of place IMO). Remember tyres for 16s are more expensive though

I've got a 3 dongle, with a 3 router so I can run my xbox and my laptop without unplugging/plugging in every time. Pretty happy with it TBH. 3Gb a month for £15 which is fine for everything except constant downloads, which I've never bothered with anyway...

I think you need to get on track and see what the oil temps are like. A good 5w40 should be ok with an oil cooler, or a 10w50 without. Halfords motorsport is Comma motorsport, which is actually pretty good. seen a couple of oil analysis reports and it seems to be quite decent, and also has a...

edit, misread lol. Did have a bag of new ones but not sure where they are at the moment

kind of agree, although on the turbo clios I've driven it does make a noticable difference to torque steer, so makes the car more friendly

could be the throttle stop screw isn't actually touching, and therefore not working as a stop.

Throttle position sensor

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project could be a "cold" limiter too. Is the temp sensor hooked up to the ECU correctly?

that purple one you posted looks like dorifter/MrNicks which was orange before, and matt black with a silvia front before that. been about since 2002ish Used to compete in OPT drift club when drifting was fun and less full of c***s

that would relate to if you use an omex. the ESP really isn't all that

I'd just go for 2.5, I recon you'll add bits ;) No probs on the oil, did you throw some f**ks into the dealer that told you it'd been changed?

there are some 2.25". A 2.5 is best if you're doing more to the engine. If the exhaust is all you're doing, you wont notice much difference

probably nicely blocking the cats up as we speak :(

used findapart a few times. Normaly the same breakers that come up with the best prices, so just go direct once you know who they are. Specialist breakers in accrington for renault parts every time though TBH

oh dear, that's not great. bits of latex wrapped around a valve is most likely TBH :(

could work. Nothing I'd bother with personally, too many differences from the 197 overall to make the map correct, and the 197 has a lot of CAN involved. Proper standalone will save a lot of work and grief

Direct swap isn't an option IMO. Gearbox fitment just isn't practical (anything's possible with enough time and money) May be an option to transplant the top end and pistons (only real differences that would effect performance) but the 172 ECU wont run it as the variable inlet cam is...

Standard will do quite well for considerably above standard power. For big power, a helix is the way to go. Trying to find something cheaper than the helix that copes with decent power (better to stick with organic if it will hold the power IMO) but not found "the one" yet

PC fan in the pipe

Fail-o-rama

49hp loses?

off the top of my head, we'd be about £500-£600 depending on the aux belt tensioner

no worse that picos (standard) for failure and they're an amazing injector. Too big for a standard enigne though really, though they are VERY controllable

if it's mapped and hitting 91% on just a few load sites I'd leave it. Not likely to cause a problem unless they're running high duty for sustained time.

checked the CV joint and the shock absorber?

had it on the dyno tonight...... OH MY :D
