With the nice weather we have been having I decided actually sort the slight blow on the exhaust from the cheepo gaskets id been using. I replaced it with a MLS style one that I was pointed too previously, though I had to extend the bolt holes too fit it.
Whilst there I found that the hanging...
Decided to bite the bullet and get back out on track. Back before kids (15+ years ago) I used to enjoy getting out, used to frequent some of the UK tracks and did multiple trips out to the ring too in various cars from 1.8 16v swapped R5, a 200sx and a couple in my old ITB'd ph1 172. That died...
Its bank holiday Monday and I've been meaning to give the car a clean for a while. Last clean it had was when I gave in the minor paint correction a few weeks back. I did go to have a blast at it a few days ago but it looks like the capacitor has let go in my Karcher so I've ordered a new one to...
Changed to the so say "better" flowing juke turbo out let pipe. The pipe work routing for for the FMIC is quite convoluted and the whole lot could be improved massively which I may look to do in the future, I think you could take a meter or so out of it pretty easily. That said I know it is the...
I have been trying the induction setup with the itg housing on and off and haven't really noticed any difference other than an increase in induction/turbo noise which I liked, so I've opted to fit the largest filter I could fit in the space. Fitted with a trumpet intake so may aid flow, I really...
Replacement glass is now in. Initially I thought it was the wrong part, but I was looking at it in the wrong orientation. Thanks to @Sash for telling me it was actually correct, multiple times....... 🤦♂️ not too bad to do at all.
Stock injectors are fine to a shave over 300 bhp. The ktec turbo IS the mamba turbo (19t) you'll need a better in tank pump if moving away from the stock turbo. The oem downpipe to front pipe joint is 1.5inch ID, it's stupid small. I'd be getting rid of that before anything else, in anyway...
just to clarify, the outer 4 LED's circled are not present on the Clio PCB, on the Zoe PCB they are there but blue, I removed the 4 blue ones and replaced them with white ones (y)
So I have seen this Zoë illuminated heater "upgrade" done @Danith . The Clio has bare plastic around the control, the Zoë is illuminated blue. I've whipped the blue smd/led's off and replaced them with some spare white ones off the old board. Red could be a good choice too though its subtle when...
Urgh, I drive to work in the dark so generally don't notice much... whilst at work someone mentioned my window was smashed.....
Not sure what's gone on here, a stone maybe 🤷🏻♂️ the part looks to bolt in and out on a frame with a seal so I have found one on ebay which should hopefully be...
Nothing. I'll do it myself at somepoint, most of the time it's not an issue and even when it is, it isn't, as the car backs the power a touch in 5th. Intermittent still and if I get it hot it stops doing it all together.
Finished it off today, coated with some wax and from now on ill stick to cleaning it myself. Doesnt look that different from a distance but up close its loads better. That said I now see more imperfections. Could do with a new bonnet in the future and a front spray/refresh. Looks ok for a daily...
I have really neglected the body work and cleaning side of this car for way too long. I have spent the last 6+ months driving it through the local spiny scrub and blow dry and its really starting to show....
So today I have made a start on correcting it a little, ideally it needs a pro but itll...
Parts still aren't here from autodoc.... annoying as I wanted to get it all fitted up this bank holiday weekend.
Anyway bit of a check over on the turbo which is still fine, has no excessive play. I whipped off the filter and gave it a clean. The ducting pipe and filter are pretty dirty so that...
no the injectors arent coded in. if one was full of crap the rest may be too. lambda sensors failing can also cause crap idle and running.
did you get the codes read before firing the parts cannon at it?
