WHere abouts are you located?
I find the fuel consumption of my clio is fab, i can get from Bristol to brighton and back without refueling! and thats at at about 80-90mph
Yes, but you also have to take into account turbulant flow inside the bay, as its got nowhere to go really, except out the wheel arches, under tha car and the scuttle gap. Not to mention the rad which is right infront of it. So, you will need to carry some heavy airspeed to keep a clear area of...
i had a pattern bonnet and front bumper, the most ill fitting poor things in the world, dont bother, the front bumper want ever and the bump bits are clip on, the bonnet was not flush and stuck out he front by a good 1.5cm, and it was as far back as it could go!!!
crap stuff, OE is best in...
in general, the SPi injection has alot of faults.
Yea i know Ben W.
Anyway, there are lots of problems with fueling, stepper motors, sensors, potentiometers, mine didnt go well but i never bothered pushing it up to over 100, no point....too too long and it annoys drivers behind.
All i...
ROB......First off, expect NO income and help from sponsorship apart from possibly discounted prices. THey will not risk their money on a low exposure unknown quantity driver , especially of your age with no experience and results. SO basically your on your own.
Buy a cheap car, to get your...
puttin it on the engine bay with ducting is not good enough, and you would have a TINY intercooler.
You can place it infront of the rad with no real problems, but an oil cooler and coolan additive will help to keep liquids cool.
have a pop underneath and there is jsut enough space for it...
mine squeeks like a b**ch!
anyway, simple test, open the bonnet, start the engine and get some one to turn the steering wheel to full lock. Mine squeeks as at full lock the puley stops and teh belt squeeks over it. Putting WD40 jsut stops teh squeeke, the pulley will still be slipping, and the...
bondy, yea, need to meet, its going good, but lots of work to do, its jsut not pushing near the power i want, so......need ot get that cash together lol.
yea, the valvers have a heavy exhaust smell, spesh on full pelt......
when you checked the plugs, it was a blast to peak rpm then ignition...
nfbr: If it has an auto choke you WONT have any manua control, it will either run off coolant temp OR off a heating element run off the alternator.
ANyway, pop the bonnet, take of thea ir filter aseembly and have a bloody look. Why is it so hard for people to spend a week on here asking about...
um, if you dont want ABS then take the fuse for it out.
Simple as that, it wont affect anything, but eh ABS light will come on, but who cares, you not using it.
dont worry about drive shafts and master cylinders, jsut take the fuse out.
This is going to be incredibly anal sounding, but for one can we concentrate on the car vs car.
Not VFM potential and all roundedness. thats all we ever seem to argue with the clio.
The Elise is jsut a better car, full stop. i love my clios, but see nowt wrong with admitting that there are...
Then raise it and get it handling again, you got about 1/2 of suspension trave which is bad, not to mention that your probably running your TCA inverted and ruining the geometry.....
nice to see quik responses eh!!! lol
Anyway, generally, design faults are limited to water in the spare wheel well, so just lift up the boot carpet to have a look.
Knocking noises under hard acceleration, any warning lights on the dash are a dead give away, although the airbag warning light...
