No but its gotta be better then everyone naming random parts ;) an tbh if it was the dephaser which seems to be the first thing most folk on this forum suggest there sound is rather distinctive

Just browsed through the while thread, looks great an the contrast of colours is good. Really good to see some one taking there time an putting alot of effort in no doubt. The attention is flawless. Keep it up.

An whether you want a cat back system or one that includes a decat?

Standard or aftermarket?

Tbh I have alot of mates into the vw scene, some running bags an some running static an I appriciate the amount of work that goes into the cars (cause i'm the one usually doing it haha) even though it isn't my cup of tea. At the end of the day theres always going to be missed opinions due to...

Got any vids you can upload? Without hearing the noise its pretty hard to diagnose. Could be something dead daft an simple, cheap fix even.

Hey you can't blame french car ownership ;) Tbh I'd be contacting scorpian, if the gasket won't fit round the decat pipe an it don't line up its more then likely going to be a problem with the decat. Have you got any pictures you can upload?

If your doing um defiantly do both or just stick with stock mount

Yeah its a good forum, I'm in Burton on Trent so not a million miles away

Shorter pistons, you can decrease the bore of um

Yeah it takes all of 15 minutes if that its an easy job, if your local pop over an I'll give you a chuck an torque it for ya

There a straight swap, I had that one an the gearbox mount an then the dogbone but in the future I'm just gonna stick with standard Renault mounts an powerflex dogbone cause they cause no end of vibrations even once they've settled plus taking the flex/movement out will just put the strain on...

No worries pal

But surely the 1600 rods are shorter?

Yeah take your feed off the matrix feed pipe an t your turbo coolant drain into the matrix exit pipe. The matrix has a constant feed of coolant so can't see the problem really.

tbh that was bout a month ago since i've bin up his workshop but its like alladin's cave, he's got all sorts there including a rolling road lol. I'll get a few more pic's but from what he's said to me its came on alot more since that. He's currentlly taking moulds to make his own fibre glass...

Surely this would drop the compression ratio quite abit? In turn dropping the performance?

Surely you could t into the matrix feed pipe for the feed an then t back into the matrix exit pipe for the drain? Correct me if i'm wrong

Heres the viva, its the only pic i've got on me phone but its half decent haha, he brought it as a full car, stripped it, had it blasted an has etch primed it. He's running a 200sx rear end fully polybushed an not sure what diff he's running. Custom front subframe with his own designed an...

Yeah I have got the one so I'll upload it now for ya, big tank v8's are great for lazy power

That sounds better, I would imagine there would be a better supply of coolant there.

Sounds awesome what sort of figures is it running? tbh, i'd probably use a Chevy LS lump cause at the minute they seen to be readily available but that would push the cost up no doubt. One of me best mates Richard is currently building a vauxhall viva running a Chevy LS lump with a vortex...

That sounds about right for priming the oil system buddy. I take it your thinking of plumbing the turbo coolant feed in on the coolant return?

I wouldn't bother with the uprated mounts, I had the vibra technics ones an thu they did nothing but rattle me car to pieces, the only mount i'd bother with is an uprated powerflex dogbone then standard Renault mounts for the rest.

That car is truly beautiful, don't see many of these about now days an there seems to be less an less for sale

Great colour when cleaned, nice recaros buddy. Anymore plans?

Is that with the dephaser? If so thats a good price, I'd go for it

Howcome your replacing water pump? Rare they fail on these an there driven on the aux belt. As for parts t21 ads is cheapest around too

Set it to voltage, an drop it across the 2 battery terminals whilst its running.

Have you checked the alternator charge rate?
