Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project dear god, tell me there wasn't a hammer involved??!?!?!?!

that's had 2 oil seals fitted. You bought that car from an idiot

depends on plenty of things other than just putting bodies on. Mapping makes a HUGE difference. Just fitting standalone (omex 600 in this case) can improve throttle response because the restrictions in the way it's set for emissions aren't there. Euro4 compliant cars (ph2 172 & 182) have...

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread not sure yet in honesty. It's something I've done on 205s with some washers and longer bolts but they're angled lower than clios to start with. I'd probably make up some new mounts for the column from scratch rather than using spacers. Box section welded...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project sounds like 1.8 inlet valves in a 2.0 head to me

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread looks Awesome!!, are you doing a column drop to go with the seat being so low?

yes. I think there's some minor changes that are needed though, I'll ask Andy to post what's different, but it think it's to do with falling and rising edge of the missed tooth

Clearly this is based on speculation and not facts then. Lots of these kits are being used on track reasonably regularly. I dont deny an airbox would be nice if you can use one but you can't if you want to retain AC.

No, it would be the ONLY kit that can be fitted with AC retained.

A mate of mine had his snap at only a couple of months old. No idea why

I know of a sunflower yellow ph1 that i think is still for sale. Can ask the owner and PM you if you're interested

NGK. I do the plugs on my Nissan every 10k at the most

exactly :) I think doing it at a 36k interval would be much more sensible, and it hardly breaks the bank

doubt it's anything to do with the belts themselves. Maybe something that's been disturbed, the engine does go right up and down several times in the process of the job, and a lot of sensors and bits are unplugged so it's easy to disturb things. Highly doubt it's serious :)

lol rusty???? not on any part that would matter. I'd change them well before 72k personally, I've always thought that was an aweful idea.

yeah give it a go :) that'd be my first thing to try

engine mount might have been re-fitted in a different position or be a little loose

the kit is a complete kit including the ECU. It's a hugely cost effective kit and it's turn-key so no mapping needs doing

under tray off, remove nut from center of mount, carefully jack up engine off mount, remove top bracket to engine (3 bolts), unbolt mount (4 bolts) re-fit is reverse of removal

lol, where was the dyno done? that's far and away above anything a T28 can flow at 9psi. If you'd said 15psi I'd have believed you

Externally nothing but 300zx wheels (keeping it nissan) double standard power under the bonnet ;)

not exactly, all the standard inlets were removed entirely for that. We can do Inlet matching though :)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ah, ok yes megane are different again, thought it was a williams in yours.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project raise. 172 pistons are flat topped (apart from valve recesses) williams are dished

christ!!!! Renault Cheltenham (nextdoor to Omex) struggled to get me a cambelt for a 182 a couple of weeks ago.

it could be a wheel bearing actually, they can sometimes click, sometimes rumble

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project stem on the F7 is much thicker. Not interchangeable

it's the closes thing to an AX GTi, they're great little cars. Always fancied one in gunmetal grey.

sticky brake caliper or just a worn pad is possible

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah those pistons will be fine with a light tidy up. Got some used Williams inlet valves if you have trouble sourcing them, Sure we wont want too much :)
