438's are 421's (almost exactly) but mildy modded to idle well using stock timing (and more importantly not stall at return to idle which is what 421's do on the stock inlet). 421's are awesome, always have been, but while they caused stalling it was a minor safety consideration. 438's are...

Gt racing cams, to all intents ano purpose ARE 428s. Some very minor changes made. I've been dealing with them since 2009

Put it on photobucket

I sell all 3. Different applications call for different cams

had a good look at the graphs today. They're very good cams

Rob came to me for cambelt

it'l be something not plugged in, something wet, or the throttle body playing up. When you clean the TB, did you lubricate it? If you didn't then the degreasing chemicals will dry out the bushes the spindle sits in and create friction, this will potentially stop it reacting how the ECU wants and...

any lowering springs will shorten the life of old shocks. That goes for any car really. I did a pair of rears last week, and a pair of fronts today on cars that have had just lowering springs for a few months.

full retail is ~£240. If you can't find a better price, then thats a good price

the key is the fitting into the sump not sitting below the oil line

well if you must fit it to the sump, do it as high as you can so it stays above the oil level just buy a drill and tap though IMO

assuming it's got the correct anti-freeze in it still, the correct D-type isn't at all expensive in pre-mixed form. It's all I use now

you're absolutely right, it can be a bit marginal having the return in the sump. Not allowing oil to flow away from the bearing core can cause an issue with excess pressure, which can lead to oil breaching the seals. I've seen people fit return pipes that drop down from the turbo then loop back...

got one from Maplins for £25. Lasted a week and it's never worked since. Now I get them direct from Canems whenever I order an ECU and it's under £15. Works perfectly with every ECU I've tried it on so far (Canems, Omex, GEN90)

have never seen a 172 have head gasket failure unless it's been a full melt down. they just dont do it. Most like suspects are -Radiator -Stat housing -Water pump

I have a feeling they had to make the megane ones cheap as they old brown version were so unreliable

one you go, you go again. 3rd May in a row for me now

sounds like you mean the m6 bolts that attach the upper to lower inlet. Standard m6 thread, 25mm long. about 20p in any hardware store

My opinion, if you've never done it before, you'll be happy as larry with 4 over the whole weekend. I did 2 last year as a driver and a few as a passenger, and about 8 as a passenger only the year before, an I didn't feel at all short changed. I did go out for a couple of 9.02 BTG laps though...

Use the wand. I wanded my 172 round the yard at 3mph yesterday. fun for all the family

Bosch. For a tenner extra you'll usually get an s4 which is 4 year warranty

[/SIZE] so no idea what he's talking about then LOL!!! looks reasonably well priced though

still a massive bodge

tensioner tool Done

the tailpipes you have are exclusive to me ;)

£75.88 each for genuine new

Got some pipe ofcuts I can sort out for you to mount the airbox Pete

mk2 isn't a light car IMO. not really

they time up fine with the stock locking tools. The peak lift timing is changed with different lobe positions. If you really want to fine tune them, then you will need to have something like the CATCAMS locking tools, which let you remove the rocker cover and use a DTI to time in the cams. As...
