    handling problems Clio RS

    Rather than simply down to the tyre pressures and tyre composition as this wont affect centering. I think its more due to changes in steering geometry such as SAI offset and scrub radius and affecting wheel rates.

    head and cams

    They are good for std and slightly machined from the bare casting, but by no means anywhere neat their full potential. This engine will start to run out of puff around the 300-320bhp mark. Steve, you cant have any pullies, unless you plan on loosing the VVT actuator. For info on price...

    172 exhaust manifold

    Its good, compact and well made, no point in replacing it. You can go better, but not without a fair amount of R&D time.

    Getting a bit worried now!

    Timing belt, a belt doesnt make a noise, its either your tensioner, power steeting pump, alt or waterpump bearings.

    More Torque!

    the 1.8 and its design make it naturall peaky, you cant do anything to gain lower torque apart form leave the cam as it is and increase breathing efficiency via headowork, its honestly the only thing you can do at the moment, unless you want to use N20. Turbo, if you want it to come on...

    RUNNING RICH

    there is no mixture adjustability, you have to get down to Ren so they can have a peek on their XR25 to see if any sensors are playing up.

    problems when lowered 16v

    a couple of people have this problem and the easiest solution is to alter the hanger posisitons to lift the exhaust elbow higher. Just get a hammer and steel rod (extention bar is fine) locate it on the top hanger above the bend, hit it so it moves it up, put the rubber back on and itll be...

    Valver low oil pressure:help appreciated!

    oil loss is always high on our engines. The under piston bore sprays means alot fo oil is burnt up in teh breather system as it moves about as vapour. 10w40...........oil is reccomended but isnt biblical, i use 15w50 as they run so hot that a higher vis oil is needed, and you should choose...

    Overheating effects starting up

    probably just the starter. I cooked mine several times and it wouldnt work till the nxt morn. Sometimes it acts up and i jiggle the connections, it doesnt like the heat.

    More Torque!

    you got a 2ltr engine and its comming on cam at 4500!? what cam have you got? If its wild, why not just downgrade to a cam with equal lift and less duration and a wider LCA? But if you havent had your head ported, get one........itll perk it up all over the rev range. Incidentally, i...

    changing fuel filter

    When you take it off a little fuel will spurt out under pressure, but nothing major, but taking the filer out will leak fuel all over the shop as its full to the brim. Just take car and youll be fine.....eyes covered.

    Turning off ABS

    By unplugging the ABS system via the fuse or wheel sensors youll NOT have EBD control. Brake bias is controlled via EBD software through the ABS computer, removing abs will revert the car to 50/50 split braking.
