Depends how it's setup and how hard you drive it. Lots of boost that comes in hard will kill gearboxes. a smoother boost curve and driving style is a lot more condusive to reliability. A quaiffe diff does quite well in making the car behave itself under power too. I'd go for the lowest mileage...

He got them from us (GDI) actually ;) that set wasn't the normal off the shelf spring and damper rates either, they're a little more track biased. Utterly awesome though. I think Mats car is probably the best handling I've ever driven so I hope that has translated across to yours :)

I trace them end to end every time now. It's even weirder that no1 is flywheel end on french cars, when it's belt end on pretty much everything else in existence lol

saw the same thing just this morning on a customers car, hadn't made a difference to running though, but the ignition runs a paired batch fire system.

manifold flange to head and the exhaust ports are the same, dont know about the dimensions of the manifold itself but it doesn't look like it will fit

that's an awesome setup, we measured inlet temp just above ambient with a filter in that position, and we were happy with the power it made :)

it'll be in 2 because it's a replacement and not the original

it's not a bad idea to have a health check done on a dyno that can provide overlayed plots of bhp, torque, AFR, and boost where applicable. These tend to be the more modern RRs like Surrey Rolling Road, Torque of the Devil, APT and RStuning which use DynoDynamics rollers. Older style dynos are...

the strap in the picture isn't for a 182 exhaust

are the wheels the correct PCD? or is the center bore of the wheels ovalled or not the correct size?

awesome deals in tescos of all places. Good specs on brands I'd actually heard of

love the outside. Interior reminds me of how we used to paint the dash in cars for crash testing though lol. Exact same colour scheme hahaha

well the CATCAMS site says you need followers, retainers and springs. This is normally because of a steep decline profile on a high lift cam meaning standard followers will bottom out, and springs will be too soft to keep up with the speed of closing so your valves will be floating in an...

it was a one off special piece done a few years back. We didn't do it, Just knew the history of it

nothing wrong with mintex. My prefered pads for a long time

got the battery hard up towards the ecu?

I know the car you mean, nothing wrong with it when we did the conversion, the owner went away happy. I think the car just doesn't get used enough so he feels it's a waste

Disagree TBH, we've used the powerflex bushes loads without issue. All the other bushes need to be good too though, seen several that have been damaged by poor alignment (possibly from new) and it prematurely ages the mounts loads

PMSL, not just a breaker, Europes largest renault breaker

£85 inc vat for aux belt change with a genuine belt

yeah, overrun and engine braking is a good way to induce pressure behind the rings and encourage them to bed in. Cruising at low RPM is a surefire way to not bedding the engine in and you wont bed it in properly until you start to open up the throttle a bit

Going to have to double check this as I'm making myself think as I say it but intervals are normally 12k OR 12 months so the belt is a year overdue

as said, it the battery overflow

et25 is pretty low ofset, I doubt you'll need spacers, more likey need to trim or roll the arches if the car is low

supercharged F4r in the front

Audis 1.8 20v runs 5 bar fuel pressure as standard IIRC I ran 294.1bhp on 370s at 2.5bar fuel pressure in my s13. Injectors were maxed to f**k though

440s should do about 330bhp without maxing

lolcopter at diesel clutched having a higher biting point. That's just a sign that a clutch is older/more worn. If the clutch is becoming awkward to use or causing problems with engaging gear then I'd look at changing it, but if it's just the pedal a little high I dont think you should worry

to raise the level of the liquid so more is submerged ;)
