I posted details on the cam values ages ago....full specs
The VVT system on the 172 is actually a phasing system not a cam changing system with different profile lobes. It runs a single inlet and exhaust cam and the VVT system advances the inlet cam as soon as you run over 1500rpm. It retards...
oil supply when running will be fine. swim the lobes in cam assembly lube. Then once pressure is up if you have ever seen the top end of a F7 its absolutely swims in oil.........itll be fine.
Run the engine at about 2000rpm-2500rpm for 15 mins.......you need to run it in without loading the...
give them your rd tyre dimentions, then can still give you teh correct tyre as they dont use aspect ratios, they use total diameters.
ACB10s......nice
17% tread to be rd legal, tyre pattern that is.
i wouldnt waste money on slicks personally....well not new ones....s/h scrubbed test...
if you want to spend massive amounts.
they do corrode, rubebr ones perish and split. Anyway, the modern rubber ones are still braided but have a rubber outer shield.
No real point on the rd......and if your unions are rusty, it can be a bugger of a job if your strip them.
If You undo the nearside driveshaft you can swing the gearbox aside without removing it.
Just unbolt everything
The roll pin in the sunwheel might be a 2 peice one which has now been replaced by a single peice one and youll need a punch to knock it out.
Its basically a big unbolt and...
The michelins are old, but then so again is the clio essentially.
I just wouldnt go for something that will snap on a std willy as the chassis doesnt follow that handling trait.
the RE-720s are not the top Bridgestones but still i find damn good. good grip, wet weather is good and...
40 quid a corner!!!
mine were 28 quid a corner!
ANyway, stick to a nice progressive tyre like RE-720s, michelin SX GTs (not made anymore but can be found and i like them) or the grippier MXX3.
Erm, the yokos again if you want.........i just wouldnt pay over the odds for tyres that really...
Distribute the emergy from the coil to the spark plugs.
Its the cylindrical thing on the end of your cylinder head with the leads comming out of it. TO change, just change!
std plain ones are all youll need.
15 odd quid from http://www.raldes.co.ukwww.raldes.co.uk each. They do drilled and slotted IF you really feel that they make any sort of difference apart from noise.
must say i was impressed by the NEX systems which run off a voltage signal from the TPS which you programme in...meaning no micro switch or solenoids!
But Trevs gear is top notch and ive had no problems with it at all.
GO for it.
No offence taken.............its pretty hard to wind me up.........however, that MaxP and Revs comment almost did it ;)
And when your all talking comparative costs and mods its just not in the same league as an Evo or even admittedly a scooby although i do hate them, well, hate is too harsh a...
Sorry, its jsut such a boring car and i wouldnt touch one. Trackdays are awful places to judge cars since the drivers are of such differing levels that crap cars beat exotica. 2 trackdays ago i pulled over half a lap on a M12 in one session.....does that say mroe about me, my clio, his car or...
Shut up!!!!!!!!!
I said not to say a word!
hehehe, never mind the joker connor :confused:......erm, yea....hehe....
Hows your primer grey go faster stripes then Ben.........last thing i remember was being blow away by the quality and supreme level of taste........simply amazing.
