must have missed my post so I'll repeat it. Check your brakes!!! the rears on mk3's are pretty bad for sticking. We freed off a set (mates wife's car) and MPG went right back up to 55

no bender needed

ds2500 are definitely a track pad!! thats why they run without anti squeel shims. For a near standard car I'd spec just ordinary Pagid disks and pads on the front, and genuine rear disks with Motrio pads. and just to dispell another myth, Bembo HC's are not an upgrade. They're simply a...

my god, it wont be as bad as that!!!! a modded megane 225 will still go 28mpg!!

yeah......thats not setup right at all

I'm going to guess that they're selling something like Apex springs

check the rear brakes. bumped the MPG on a 68 by 10 by freeing off a seized caliper

Dave told me he's really good at spraying LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Studham. I passed my driving test in Luton.......but i'm ok now

mk3 should be nice on 17s if you have well chosen tyre sizes. Not tried apex springs on a mk3 and dont intend to to be honest. fair play though, it's your car and you're happy :)

Bike bodies are an arse ache. They're not cheap really once you take the extra work of adapting them into account Wish I'd said no to this really...... You live and learn. Off the shelf would have been easier and to a better standard.

LOL at dunstable shame. It's not "that" bad :p I've lived over that way before but out near Whipsnade zoo

where abouts are you? see a few 197's round this way recently

yeah rears being WAY too high is what I was refering to really. Got a customer who had to get custom springs made after he stripped out the back as it was higher than standard. FFS.

no, I wouldn't. The 197 injectors have a bit of an unusual tip, they have a long thin "nozzle". They're not that much bigger than 172 ones either. If you really need larger (you probably dont) then megane 225 injectors are ideal, and on fuel systems with a return line an inline regulator (ie not...

service exchange starter from renault is £112.60. Brand new is £250.80. Dealer labour rates are about £85p/h +vat

yes, do this

197 isn't a DMF. You can get a lightweight Billet one though.

they're reasonable on a standard car. If you strip the car out they're damped wrong, and dont go low enough by a mile. Far from the best on the market

no, they were redesigned because I asked for changes, provided parts and a vehicle, and went into detail over what was required and lacking

yes, you can get a recessed system, I found an old picture the other day and put it in another thread. They come with the trim too

ALWAYS has, this isn't new

the ones that were completely redesigned in the last 6 months?

I recon I could make a 172 inlet fit a 182 head. Bit of a faf but not impossible. Trim one of the mounting lugs off the breather plate and it should go

the maps we use give better throttle response, and improve mpg by a noticable amount.

well thank god for that, pain in the arse but at least it's finally tracked down (after 18 months!!!!!) Seen that cracking before, and it's normally down to there being fluid in the bolt hole, or too much grease on the bolt when it's torqued. You get a hydraulic effect which finds the weakest...

well a Clio Sport is a 1.2 16v.......so it kind of makes a difference :P

pretty clear from the above picture that it's not a small hole ;)

Cages make so much difference to how the car feels. Can vouch for how good the OMP is too. definitely improved in the last couple of years, never want to fit another custom cages one again now! That's a lot of toe out??!?!?!?!!!
