Just pulled these out of the bin: don't do this

how the hell did you get 32mpg from it? I'm weighing my saloon in once I've filled the boot with brake disks. shame really, they're brilliant cars but cost more to fix than they're worth

LOL, I threw away a pile of those the other day from peoples failed attempts to make their own mounts. Just buy new standard or Prima uprated rear, and genuine (ONLY) center mounts

yes but the upper gearbox mount is different

I'm surpised tbh, would think they'd be concentrating on releasing a new iphone that will excede expectation rather than leave a lot of people wondering what changed. Maybe they've just felt they had to be part of a very quickly growing sector, but that doesn't sound very apple like. Maybe post...

Last plug looks knackered, but it might be a bad picture. Arching is bad and would definitely cause issues

did it look the same? genuine obviously aren't made by renault, so if you've got an OE injector from another source then all good, if it's different, then get 4 the same, or 4 genuine, not mix and match. The Idle is raised on the 438 map, so Andy will have lowered it back to standard on the...

logically, I can only think it's related to the single injector that was changed. Was this new/used/genuine/aftermarket?

well they defintely don't bolt straight on to williams hubs. I wanted to do it to the RSI-der

there were however a butload of SRIs and CDXs made with the 2.6, and they were pretty damn good to drive (had a lot of them as pool cars when I was at Millbrook and did a lot of miles in them, mostly back and forth to MIRA

and if you're after some suspension, I have a lovely set of Spax coilovers that were on my RSI

they're the same

I changed a single one for a mate on his 1.4 megane as he literally does 1 mile to work and back every day. It's back for the other side as soon as I can fit him in LOL, only lasted about 6 weeks. I took some rather mismatched springs off a 172 ph1 the other week, 1 broken rear, and 1 replaced...

erm......didn't I find a buttload of play in yours? LOLZ

I got these from Spax to convert R5 GTT coilovers to fit my mk1 RSI Can't remember the cost, got a feeling they were about £20 each

valve guide wear/damage, causing the valves to seat unevenly when they close can put a lot of extra stress on the valves. That's a pretty good read...

you had 172 hubs fitted IIRC??? 172 brakes don't fit non sports/mk1's However, williams/valver calipers and disks bolt straight on to other mk1's and there's lots of pads available for those. I'd be going for Pagid disks and Mintex M1155 pads in williams calipers

washer "fix" is crap, I've removed them to stop knocking on a few ocassions. i'd get new top mounts, or dremel the hole out a bit where it's been touching (it will be marked where it's rubbed)

if you read the first post he's talking about having the belts changes again just because the dephaser wasn't changed, and not for any other reason. This would be a massive waste of time and money

yes, thats exactly what i meant, it gets stuck at 4k and wont rev higher. that isn't limp mode on any clio i've ever seen

Depends entirely on ride height. I set a cup to -2deg for track the other day, and it's not much below standard height. that was about maximum. if it was lowered I'd think -3deg would be easily achieved, although pretty pointless if you ever intend to drive on the road

I think that entry point into the sump is a bad idea as there is the oil pump drive sprocket and chain right behind there.

picture shows the sleeve has moved and is cutting into the subframe!!!! Incorrect fitting is to blame

stuck at 4k is not limp mode. Limp mode is at 2k

well Saab's used loads of different turbos. I made a Mitsubishi TE05-12B from a Saab 9000 fit a 200sx once. You're going to have to search ebay and do lots of reading. New is the way to go really

nope, never bored of those. I'll change my mind again tomorrow haha

DL don't like mods. If it's a policy that's not on a modified scheme it always costs more to add mods later, as it'll be discounted in a different way for being standard.

need more info. A T25 from a 200sx for example will runout of puff before 250bhp and more boost will just increase the intake temperatures. A GT28R (2856) is a good turbo, i'd choose one of these for about 250bhp at 1bar give or take. Seem them do 280bhp on a clio at roughly 1.2bar. A GT28RS...

I think you missed my point.

oh that's a bit different to your previous post!!!
