ordered from k-tec the gr N engine mounts, dogbone poly bush set, solid suspension mounts and the gr N clutch kit, they should arrive in about a week, I'll keep you posted of how the car feels
nick, how are the engine mounts? are they ok for daily use or too harsh? thx
I emailed milltek and gave them the production number and after a while they said the batch in question was ok so "it should be happy driving" :)
let's hope I'm one of the lucky ones
After some research I decided to go for the helix organic clutch kit.
The only place I could find this kit so far is yozzasport, but I am still waiting for replies to some mails I've sent regarding payment.
It's more complicated for me to order since I'm not from the UK.
How about the gr. N...
received e-mail from powerflex now. I will post the data here in case someone needs it some time.
outer diameter:45,1 mm
inner diameter: 42,2 mm
length:23,1 mm
these are the poly bush set for the lower arms. one of the outer sleeves came out recently and it's obvious that it suffered some damage(maybe the arm suffered to I don't know). I want to make a custom replacement sleeve, although powerflex said they will send me replacements, I need the car...
is there some description on how the matched inlets are made? I don't think anybody does this job in my country, so maybe a detailled description of the process will help me find someone who could carry this operation for me
I fitted my milltek 5 days ago and if the back weld problem won't occur (as some guys related) i will be very pleased with it as it sounds just the way I want it to and looks ace too.
yozza exhaust maybe too loud for everyday driving, although I'd try one for a quick blast :)
there wasa guy saying he had a milltek for 2 years with no problem at all, maybe some other guys like him will post a pic to see if there is a difference between a good weld and a bad one.
Although my guess is that some exhausts had worn mounts or the stress on the welds in case was bigger than...
ok then, there are some guys here who had no problems with their system, PLEASE put some photos with the welds well done, at least we'll know how they were supposed to look like
fitted mine one hour ago :)
the cat is still there, no air intake or other mods
it sounds really nice, not raspy, and untill 4000 rpm it has a low note, which I like, above 4000 it becomes more metallic, overall I think this is what you want..
I will fit a milltek system in a couple of days to my 182, I wonder if I will have problems with the tail pipes alignment how is this thing done? I also hope there will be no issues with the welds..
the day I saw my 182 for the first time at the dealer:
asked the guy there to turn on the engine to have a listen..
him:
(revving the engine) hear that? it's the turbo charger
I remained quiet :))
maybe it's harder to install properly on the clio, and easier on other cars. the space is limited for a proper caf fitment, maybe that's why it doesn't work so well on the clio's
I spent about 4 hours couple of days ago reading posts regarding IK's and still not sure about them. I know maxogens have the best reputation, but they are pricey and to pay 400 on engine sound mainly is too much sometimes.
What I want is to clarify the benefits of the best ik's available...
