    Fiesta Camber Problems, Any1 HELP

    Kinda unclear whats goin on. Spacers wont affect your camber value, although f your pushing the tyre centreline miles out it can wear the inside, but you dont have that problem. DO you have adj lower arms, XR2i or XR3 arms? If your using arms that are too long, like the XR3 the post...

    Warming up before racing

    in real terms, depending on starup temps (ambient) thenyou only really have to wait for oil pressure to build and you can drive pretty much normally. 6000rpm is fine with moderately warm oil. Somebody please explain to me why you lot seem to think that oil doesnt move or protect any surfaces...

    The dreaded red light

    Check the negative lead from the alt to teh batt, itll be old and corroded now and they can snap easily. Look down the non pulley side of the alt nxt to the rad and its a black cable thats bolted onto a terminal, if its not connected at all then thats your problem, give it a clean and it COULD...

    Scenic

    Polished? eh? valves are 32mm, the willy uses a different head casting which is the same as the F7P. ANd is designates the F7R700 in teh williams, F7R710/714 in the megane coupe. The sump is the same as later 16V units IIRC but i dont lol.

    Locking Wheel Nut Help

    you cant get them out by accessing them from the rear. grind a slit in the back of the nut and use a flat headed screwdriver to get it out. unless its seized lol.

    Scenic

    its a totally different engine, its the same as the clio 172s engine bar a few casting and other technical diffs. Its not related to the 150bhp F7R......so no 10bhp is lost.

    brake servo

    just behind the master cylinder, which is under your brake fluid reserviour. Follow the vacuum hose from it to the manifold, it wont be IN the TB.

    replacement engine cost

    a recon engine with a warrenty if you can find one is perfectly fine, but if you cant then a s/h engine which you can dismantle and check is just as good. Entirely up to you, no doubt some people will be urging a 2ltr conversion on you lol.

    replacement engine cost

    what, new engine or s/h? If your going to lob in a new engine then costs will be minimal as you wont have to change anything. Sourcing a 1.8 for 250 isnt hard. But as with most people im sure youll be tempted by a few tweeks whist you got an engine out.

    Exhaust heat wrapping

    i wouldnt use it if you have the cast 16V manifold on. Try wrap on the tubular steel parts and thermal coatings for the manifold.

    Cold Running Problem/Low Revving Valver

    the TPS or potentiometer is teh red thing attatched to the throttle spindle. It sends info to the ECU regarding throttle posisition via increasing voltage/current. I cant remeber the values for 0 when you reset it but basically all you need is a multimeter to check the output and move it until...

    lightend fly wheel

    the std 172 is balanced quite poorly, itll respond well to a nice entire balance.

    history of the 172 engine pls

    The block is essentially shared between lagunas, meganes, the 2ltr turbos in the up and comming megane sport, scenic turbo and Vel Satis. The head casting is different to the other normal F4Rs which is a basic engine code and the 3 digit number after the F4R prefix denotes the spec. 172 beign...

    Performance tuning

    Why are you having all the valves changed? Most general automotive engineering firms wont have a clue what to do. Ill be more than happy to modify your cylinder head.

    VVT, cams and ECUs

    VTEC switches later than that. And most of the EURO compliance is programmed into the part throttle running and test sites. Mitchy, if you read my post youll see that they DONT run a variable cam design like VTEC, VVTL-i or any other profile changing system. And teh Ren system isnt good...

    Multi electrode NGK plugs!

    Those are std spec plugs..perfectly fine and more than good for the job. Multi electrode just means itll last longer, thats it. put them in and forget about them.
