incorrect. they have different bolt patterns for the throttle body

another good one. quite a few other bits and pieces to look at really, it need to be looked at rather than guessing

buckled wheel, knackered shock, driveshaft damaged

must have been another one, defintely done it and it wasn't nice. Sounds like damned hard work on a vee, the rear bulkhead would be quite a nice place but i guess the glovebox has the advantage of easy plug in access

could still be done if you really wanted I guess. Didn't I help you (or might have been Stu) cut the holes in Yoz's bulkhead to get the wires through? very vague memory of it as it was so long ago. End of the day it's a kit designed to be quick and easy to fit, cutting holes (as there's no...

use a better sensor ;) it's included in the kit The extras you get are things to fit the bodies and ECU in the best way, tailored loom, CNC and anodised bracketry, clips, fasteners and everything to fit the bodies so you dont have to find anything for yourself. The jenvey parts are what has...

t2 flange on this, and it'd flow enough air for 430ish bhp

heard of a GT2876 ?

looks a lovely car. The manifolds available for the 172 engine use a t2 flange so a t28 is your best option IMO. They work really well. That's going to be an animal with 260+bhp

agreed. lots of good co-axials with built in crossover and tweeter adjustment now. Only cheap components worth looking at are Maystar QX ahich are scarily good for such a cheap brand

spanner on and give it a clout to shock it off Should be fine without for a few days however, ECU is designed to run rich if the lambda is faulty/missing

they're not the venoms it came on. need a better reason? lol

used it for about a year at my last job. Made my job incredibly painful

jesus!! Was going to ask about the engine but there must be bad things behind that bonnet now. Not a good end to the week, but atleast you walked away

could be lambda sensor, or an exhaust leak close to the lambda.

check the prices of brake discs. and sit down first

firefox is the way forward

he asked will it perform better over stock, not re-mapped stock

a great man once said "you're doing it wrong"

yes definitely. seen and done it more than a few times. As far as what ECU to use, it's most important to work out who you want to map it first, then use a system they are completely comfortable with. You'll get more from whatever system you end up with that way. We use Omex, it's what...

I'd use an 8mm bolt, a drill bit is quite brittle and could snap if you put any pressure on it

*sits and waits for the audi fanboys*

if he's had the engine out to do it (WHY!!!!!) there's plenty that would have been disconnected that could effect the idle

offer a mechanic a few quid to adjust it for you if you're not good with tools. will take a few minutes :)

you only need the aux belt kit if there's actually a problem with yours. I know a few people have seen them need replacing, but I'm yet to see one and I've done quite a lot now (changed 2 aux belts just today) We (GDI) always use a full renault cambelt kit to protect warranties. If you're doing...

do it at 5 years at the latest regardless of milage. No exceptions 36k includes the aux belt, but that should have been done at 3 years (depends who you ask). I would do both the cam belt and aux belt together NOW

best place IMO is a skip. can't stand the things

hi :D will take no more than an hour (should be well less). We're in Kimbolton so not that far from you give us a ring tomorrow 01480 860001 :)

could be one of 2 things. belt may need tightening a little, or the battery could be a little weak, and with the strain of starting, the alternator is working a little harder. Try the belt first :)
