    He's fitting my clutch and gearbox tomorrow after a disaster somewhere else last Friday.

    Sluggish 182 compared to one that's done double the miles?

    155bhp! All 182's i've seen have been in the 170's and 180's.

    Not racing, it's making progress together :tonguewink:

    Have a side by side race with your mate from 30-70, if he pulls away by quite a bit then yours is not right.

    Ahh don't they. I was talking to Nick at Cadwell on Monday at Time Attack. That Ph1 he's got is rapid at 250bhp N/A!

    You could stick it on a dyno and see what it makes, preferably one that is reputable in your area. Pure Motorsport may be able to check it for you, they're in Cornwall. Or possibly Dan at SJM Automotive in Street near Glastonbury.

    Poor timing can be a killer on these. Seen them make as low as 130-140bhp with messed up timing.

    Clio driving advice/tips

    The only way to lose the back end on these in the dry is too much entry speed in the corners.

    Clio driving advice/tips

    Don't lift off? They're not that bad tbh, only when it's wet can they be a bit playful. If it does step out just mash the throttle.

    Alternator problem

    There's no adjustment in the tensioner, it's a self tensioning spring.

    New Car Ford

    There were 3 of these Fiesta ST's at Cadwell yesterday in Time Attack, bloody rapid things! Must have been around a similar power.

    Halfords Torque Wrench

    I've got the 60-300Nm one and it seems decent enough.

    My second Clio has gone horribly down hill...

    Yeah, that's not into the block. It's into the other half of the cam cover. Find a bolt about 10mm longer and it should nip up.

    My second Clio has gone horribly down hill...

    Is it one of the bolts that screws into the cam cover though?
  19. Mr Trailer Man

    Could be the camshaft seals too, especially if the cover has been off to be resealed.

    Recommendations for a track car

    Renault Wolverhampton for oem shocks.

    Recommendations for a track car

    Also, just so you know, that will be stiff if used on the road. Roughly twice as stiff as your usual coilovers, if you'd ever driven a Clio on them.

    Recommendations for a track car

    For what you get, it's a good price really.

    Recommendations for a track car

    Yes, with the option for the top mounts ticked as well.

    Recommendations for a track car

    For a dedicated track car the RSX are just the same as Bilstein B14's and H&R's. Too soft. You want 8-9kg/450-500lbs springs and you can only get that with BC's, AST's or the Ktec 182 championship spec RSX's.

    Impact Guns

    An impact driver is nothing like an impact gun @Knuckles. They take hex screwdriver bits for screwing things in hard wood without pilot holes. If you want one to last and with a decent warranty. Milwaukee, DeWalt are the ones to look at. They're near identical across the 2 brands. Can't go...

    Tools & Garage Equipment sub forum?

    Basically the pin ones are for construction work working at heights, the pin goes into the socket which has a hole on the side so that it can't fall off and you need to push a small screwdriver through to get it off, bit of a pain if you're swapping from socket to socket. Quality guns the...

    Get the Friction Ring version not the Pin Detent. Pain in the arse the pin one.
