I've done a fair few. If it's very recent I'll just re time it, if it's a few thousand miles I'd always recommend a new belt, but the tensioners etc will be ok there are historic issues with re tightening belts, but it's not so much of an issue as with a sprung tensioner you can't over tighten...

We do all work in house and match the upper and lower manifolds. We have a few manifolds in stock so can offer them on an exchange basis. Paul

he left mine not long after your post, and was hoping to catch the 4pm ferry rather than the 6 he was booked on

we put together a 200sx engine running 9:1 (higher than standard) a few years ago and made 283bhp at 13psi on a t28. Took it to 16psi with road mapping so dont know a final figure but it was batshit

usually comes in a gasket set so never bought one in separately. If you got stuck, some decent oil resistant sealant would be a fairly decent solution

take material from the head, make the chamber a bit bigger. Usually ok to take a bit from the pistons. Most modern turbo'd engines run a lot higher CR than you'd think though. I'd be happy with 9:1 You can buy supertec pistons that give 8.5:1 on a duratec.

look like they've been kicked around a warehouse floor and rolled around the back of a delivery van. s**t service

197 engine is a good price! The rest is all low output variants, but good prices for what they are

splitter is in hand ;)

Beanies mk1 is approx 780. That's an extreme example though as most panels are GPR or carbon. Does have a cage though

FAG are same company as LUK too I believe. Good stuff

the brake pedal fault that comes up has NOTHING to do with the light coming on. I've not seen any clio that doesn't register the same fault. It's a non existant glitch in the matrix

Depends on how loud or quiet you want the exhaust to be? other mods that will compliment the exhaust would be a panel filter, matched inlets and a remap. Paul

hehe, got a little something on the go at the moment ;)

good god no, you're way under for all of those, especially the mk3!

god no. Do it right and under sensible conditions you can improve on standard. It's only where you're driving hard and using more power that you'll use more fuel

my ITB'd mk1 always got over 30mpg at similar speeds, closer to 35 mostly

Paying for a diagnostics plug in will save you wasting money on a lambda if it's working fine (need to look at live data, not codes!!) and if it is that then a new sensor will pay for itself in saved fuel. I've seen cars hit the 40's so it does sound like yours isn't right, unless you drive...

It will need a Lambda sensor, and most likely a manifold to downpipe gasket (full kit inc springs and bolts)

I charged £67.50 (1.5 hours) to fit one just today. I do however have my special BADASS tensioner tool, without which (and if the tensioner isn't newish or being replaced) you'll struggle like buggery In my opinion, take the opportunity to fit a new genuine tensioner kit

IMO this failure is actually down to the first incorrect timing up. Most likely the valves had been kissing the piston at some point, enough to weaken the friction weld on the stem, causing the second biggest cause of F4R failure.....the valve head dropping off

I use a Dell. I've had a very easy time with it until recently it's stopped recognising the original charger as genuine so wont charge the battery. I'd certainly have another, infact I may upgrade quite soon

yes. Trophy basically is a 182 cup

it's there to reduce driveby noise. Part of legislation new cars have to pass. It's a small restriction to airflow so no down side to removing it, but dont expect a noticable gain

That's a valve seat. I wouldn't even bother with taking the head off, there will be nothing worth using left the same bloke? honestly? have you read nothing thats been said at all?

if the heater matrix was like that, the rad will be too

got the heater switch on the hot setting on the dash? I did one last year that had so much crap in the system, the rad was blocked solid. I had the jetwasher nozzle sealed to the rad outlet, and on full blast with nothing going through at all

tried squeezing the rad hose repeatedly? Any chance that the matrix is blocked? quite common place on a mk1
