    Well if you want Catcams 428 then Prima racing do the same profile for £295 inc vat They are called INR F4R I think

    catcams 421 vs Colombo Bariani camshafts

    Despite the longer duration of the C&B the Catcams make more lift at TDC. I'd be inclined to use them

    Aeroquip braided lines problem

    I bought a set of Matt Lewis motorsport/moquip/aeroquip braided lines and took them to my friendly neighbourhood garage to fit along with my ATE blue fluid. However the lines weren't suitable, apparently the flared end is incorrect. They'll do them at a later date with new pipes. Anyone...

    re priming hydraulic lifters/tappets

    As Dan has said. Squeeze oil out (I use squeeze clamps as they aren't as forceful as a vice). Crank the engine a bit. Doing it this way allows the valve clearances to be set correctly as you can over prime them. Then you can get issues with valve clearances, compression etc.

    Bike throttle bodies

    I have had great success with bike bodies and bike carbs in the past of a few engines. Obviously bodies are required for the Clios due to the fuel injection. I would speak to Dan about an inlet, this is his website http://www.danstengineering.co.uk/ As you doing trumpets the Weber DCOE 45...

    GT cams and Prima racing cams

    I was going off the spec of the GT cams on eBay. They are the same as the Catcams 428 which are 272/256 and 11.3/10.25 too

    GT cams and Prima racing cams

    I finally got a reply from Prima racing as to what their cam specs are. It turns out they are identical to the GT cams but only £295!! 272 degrees inlet with 11.3mm lift and 256 degrees exhaust with 10.25mm lift. I believe they give a similar result to the Catcams 428?

    millers trident 5/40 fully syn oil

    Not seen the Trident stuff before. I know of the XFS and CFS with the CFS being the better of the two.

    Laguna gearbox

    Ok cool, thanks for the reply. The gear ratios are pretty good and with it being a 2nd car I can live with it doing 3600rpm at 70 for the better acceleration.

    What's the perfect amount of power for a ph1/2 Clio?

    I made the mistake of going forced induction on my old Fiesta. Before that it was 200bhp/tonne N/A. Not a lot and yes it was frustrating on the straights but overall it was a good fun car. Then I went turbo, only a little bit more power but masses more torque and it ruined the car in all...
