    Missfire, faulty leads or..

    Today when the car struggled to start again (after 2 days of wet weather/fog/light rain) I realized that it only did this when the weather was wet and cold (late autumn and early spring months) Each time the cure was to take out the leads and clean them and/or driving till the engine was up to...

    DIY camber gauge

    once the bolts will arrive I'll set the camber myself, then after a while I'm gonna do the tracking and compare their results with mine-camber wise ;) there is obviously room for improvement, first thing I want is to make a system that holds the gauge to the rim, then the reading will be a lot...

    People with Milltek exhausts, who's had problems?

    so far it looks like 2-3 years ago there were some bat batches which milltek sorted nicely. keep on posting though to have a better idea :)

    DIY camber gauge

    yeah it's easy if you live in UK, Ireland or Scotland ... Romania.. not so good, they don't deliver there. found myself another website but they didn't shipped here also. 22 incl vat is not bad, but transport will be an extra 30-40 so basically about 50-60, cost me 3 pounds to do this ;)

    that's why I started this thread ;) too see how many had issues with them and help others decide to buy or not

    People with Milltek exhausts, who's had problems?

    sound sample here: in the day I got it fitted, no other mods to the car at that moment

    People with Milltek exhausts, who's had problems?

    sound wise you get a lot of reports around here. they are decent, louder than the original but not too loud. if one thing milltek owners are happy about is the sound they make

    People with Milltek exhausts, who's had problems?

    I'm just curious about how many experienced problems with these systems? many say they crack, others are pleased. So for the help/curiosity of others I'm trying to launch a few questions: 1) date of purchase 2) date of install on the car, mileage done with the system 3) problems yes/no I'll go...

    ITB's Maintenance / Owners Experiences

    I guess you'll gain a fair bit more in a clio :) cheaper than supercharger or a turbo upgrade and more user friendly. doesn't put a lot of stress on the box as well, then why not?

    Track Tyre sizes

    195/50 r15 r888, and yeah they are wider than a regular 195 tyre. seen this on a megane r26 which had 235 r888's and they were clearly wider than the ps2's he had on the rear

    DIY camber gauge

    Since I'm having some camber bolts coming soon I tried to come up with somethin' to measure the camber, after realizing that a digital camber gauge was out of my reach - cheaper ones that I've found couldn't get them ordered to my country so my attempt went like this: drawn the item in acad...

    k-tec engine mounts for 172 ?

    I have them and I'm happy to say that all the knocking went away after fitment. nicer to give it the beans also :D Recently a friend drove my car and he said it definitely feels more responsive if not even a little quicker than his- he's got a 172 I managed to keep up very closely with another...

    ITB's Maintenance / Owners Experiences

    I don't have bodies but here's my point: If the sound they make (which is awesome) won't get you mad over time then I don't see why they would be different to a normal car day to day. It's not like fitting a sadev g-box which is un-driveable around town. The engine will remain NA, smooth power...

    recommend me some solid top mounts

    mark fish are the best quality but as I remember they are also fixed. And expensive :D about 300

    recommend me some solid top mounts

    was playing in acad and decided to make a drawing explaining how these mounts are workin' if others will want to know :) correct me if wrong though! pic shows driver's side mount

    recommend me some solid top mounts

    the combo of camber bolts plus ast mounts should give you about 3 degrees no problem

    recommend me some solid top mounts

    yes the top rotates, you can adjust camber+caster
  20. ripp

    recommend me some solid top mounts

    no the k-tec ones are fixed :( you have coilies and probably built in camber adjustment, you can play with the caster using the AST ones, should be pretty cool to try different settings on a track day danny probably recommended you should move to other coilies (other brand) since GAZ ones aren't...

    Cat-cam 428's Results

    did you noticed any difference back when you had the inlets matched? i guess you have the rs stamped ones, people say that you won't feel much matching these, that's why I'm asking

    recommend me some solid top mounts

    AST ones. nice to see you can play with the camber/caster settings. wish I had them :( k-tec not bad, good quality it seems, I'm running them for a year now, but wish they had some adjustment

    new engine mounts:still knocking/banging

    try to identify where exactly is knocking and then go from there. shame you couldn't live with the solid mounts, I like the fact mine got me rid of the knock and I'm ok with the vibrations

    Milltek.

    more than a year with the milltek now and it's fine. they had problems with the welds in the past, I asked them about this and there was a bad batch. anyway, the guys who experienced problems got their parts replaced under warranty, so customer service is spot on. it sounds the way you want to...

    Bolt spacing from std to cup pack size?

    original hole is left in place, and re-drilled one 6 mm further, as far as I remember k-tec did this with their cup pack coilovers. some maths involved when doing this because you can mess the camber if drilling in the wrong place

    hankook RS2's

    good choice these tyres. had them for couple of months before damaged one of them and had to run exalto's again. they certainly felt better in the dry. stiffer sidewall as well, really noticeable when off the rim
