As long as it works it doesn't matter, but don't listen to these schmoes telling you to use self tappers, if you want it to work you actually need to bolt it through teh strut tops, or ideally weld it, only problem then is its a bit of an arse getting the engine out
Yeah i can stick them up on my site, woudl prolly have to be one CD at a time, will speak to my hosting bloke and see if i can up my webspace and bandwidth to accomodate them
Failing that PM me your addressa and i'll send you 3 blank CDs and a fiver
Any off the shelf chip is s**t as its not set up for your car, if you are gonna pay, get it done on teh rollers, and then ypou'll notice a massive difference
Window cleaner or spit for the insides
Rainwater or ocasionally screenwash for the outsides, and very ocasionally holts screen cleaner, from halfords, removes all the s**t grease etc
Sorry re red your thread, thought you wanted to upgrade.
Actually thinking about it it may well be, hence the 1.9D crank
I know there was teh crank that was differnet, and i[m sure something else was too, but i can't for the life of me remember where i read about it
They should be in the arse end of the retaining plates, if not go to a local hardeware store and get a pack of slipt pins, and just fould them round.
The orignal ranult ones are re-usable.
I always forget which is which, girling or bendix.
Might have to attend the next meet if there are free...
If you were in that much of a rush why the f**k did you reverse in, woudl ahve been alot easier to just swing in forwards, lol
May as wellahve taken the extra effort and got it between the lines
Don't worry, my system has packed up
There is a manual adjustment actually on the ligts themselves, just above where the conenctor plugs in, its a white knowb type thing you turn.
All it means is you won't be able to adjust the height in car if you are towing or have a large weight in the...
Upgrade from what?? 1.4??
Quite a long list of stuff you need, do a serach came up not long ago.
To make F7P to F7R you need to bore it out to 2.0, fit a 1.9 D, or f7r crank, f7r pistons, and i'm sure there are more issues.
At the end of the day not worth it, may as well get an f7r engine...
If you have the other type:
Jack up and remove wheel
Remove split pin type thing from end of retaining plate
Hammer retaining plate out, chances are this will be stiff
If you can slide one or 2 pads out, and then lever caliper piston back onot caliper, using a long screw driver or something...
Rightm you need to find out what sorta calipers you have.
If you can see the whole of the top of the pads you have a retaining plate, or more common is there will be a bit covering most of the top of the pads.
If you can't see the top of the pads.....
Jack up
Remove wheel
R
emove guide pin...
TBH if you aren't confident brakes are not hte thing to mess about on, garage will charge £20 or so for pads, its only a 30 min job, or find someone local to you to do it.
If you are near to the midlands i'll do them for a tenner, and you can watch and then you'll know what to do next time
Mark at Ritchspeed
Google for Ritchspeed imports, and give him a ring/email, posts over in williamsclio
Does the 259mm kits for teh mk1 clio for around £360 plus discs
Buy PGTi, look at thier project pug, got it respayed at a topm place, and they are doing an offer for readers, £200 off a solid colour respray, so £450,a dn off metallic as well i think
Make sure you don't over tighten the guide pin bolts.
Unless you are using the easy bleed kit you will need pads in to bleed them.
I got a cheapie 3 person kit from Halfords,about £3, only tok 2 people, one to pump the brake and other to watch for bubbles, topped up fluid after every 20 pumps
Track is exactly the same.
Hole spacing on teh hub varies between models/years, there seems to be no method to renault's madness, if tyhe spavcing is the same shocks will fit
Springs will fit, but they will be a higher poundage for the valver, not a bad thing, don't forget valver springs are...
Yeah teh car just feels gutless, got an 80mm feed through my fig light hole,. only time i had a problem was teh toher morning on the A46 doing 60-70 and its that wet you can see about 2 mtrs ahead
