I have some cup-pack Vmaxx in stock. Can also do the Spax coilovers on the 25% off offer

hahahahahahahaah powerflow and quality in the same sentence.......ahahahahahahahahaha

are you sure your downpipe gasket kit doesn't need replacing? that can be the cause of knocking that sounds like the downpipe is hitting the subframe

Weather looks terrible. I'm about though and I'll convoy over with Jordski if he's still going

difference is based around the AC condenser rad mounting, and how the brackets to the slam panel attach. Cup rad is also thinner

no, they're different.

actually sounds like the bolts on the gearbox mount may have worked loose

Re: Valver alternator set up on a ph1 172 wiring issue ( exciter wire , igntion live you only need to add 1 wire, a switched live. The other wire is already there on the standard alternator. On the mk1 alternator there are 2 terminals with 8mm nuts, these are where you connect to. Can't...

decent bearings are at least £60, more if you use genuine

Spax have a limit on the allowed discount resellers are allowed to offer. This is more than that so once spax see it they won't sell to them. Dicks like this ruin it for everyone else. I tried to give a good deal with the absolute maximum allowable discount. Don't know why I bother.

most decent quality aftermarket manufacturers make oe parts for lots of vehicles. I wouldn't hesitate using most reasonable brand name belt kits

Don't know why people are struggling. I had it on my Sensation XE without issue, promptly and easily.

and you believed renault?

FYI, sparks are normally completely shot at half that mileage. I advise on a 36k interval, but you've done those already. Oil and all filters should be changed every 12k or 12 months, whichever is soonest, so you're about 3 years overdue. Coolant and brake fluid will have degraded . There's also...

They don't make better power, they alter the torque curve. If you make big changes in length you see dramatic changes. These for instance (yes that's right, adjustable length trumpets) made HUGE changes to the torque

probably running short ones. It's popular with some due to the no cutting, but it is a compromise

pretty sure the catch let go and flipped the bonnet on that in a very short timespan.

That's tricky. The VTS is a light and very nimble car, and I think their torsion bar suspension gives them a quite specific handling characteristic that you won't recreate. You can setup how you like though. My car for instance feels totally different to dmallets car, and both run the same spax...

it's a must if you want to see worthwhile torque gains. You can run short trumpets, but it's just going to get worse results

for £1k they'll be replacing the manifold, which will have as good a chance of failing again as the original (design is crap, and a lot weaker than the 172/182) For less than that, you could have it repaired and strengthened, and have the pre-cat replaced with a Y-pipe. Upgrade for less than...

you can't possibly know that without seeing the marks. If the head's ever been skimmed, the tensioner will sit differently.

you can get another rocker cover and have the 2 parts align-honed, I've had it done before. Head still has to come off, but it means the head isn't scrap due to a damaged cover

without question the most popular car to take to/round the Nurburgring this year. I sat in the queue outside the track behind 6 of them, and that was just one occasion. Excellent car!

ah, one of those

seen loads like that, mine was like that when I bought it. This is why I hate fitting secondhand engines, it's so unknown especially as they get older. I'd rather rebuild than replace as you at least know what the engine contains

ECP have one on offer at the moment, think its a clarke one. i wont bother wirh anything but snap on/ bluepoint

Ouch! id guess at the lower idler being shot, although being oily it could be PAS pump related

if the plugs are deteriorating quickly, it suggests the coil is at fault to me

What are you running?
