    Paddle Clutches Experiences?

    can't helix work out a organic uprated unit? something like this: http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1101&appid=2 I have this and it's 100% driveable. of course it bites a little harder than the original but you get used to it soon. the pressure plate is the same as the paddle unit they...

    Plenum got painted this day

    they feel smooth when I cross my fingers on, no brush marks either (the rough original surface also helped to get an even finish) a better pic here: ignore the second pic, can't remove it I dunno why

    Plenum got painted this day

    had the calipers painted the same. and the black went on the discs areas exposed to rust. so already had the paint and put it to use don't know why but didn't want to paint the guard red

    Engine Dynamics Cams

    that's if you fit an induction or maybe matched inlets but the power gains after fitting cams also came from more fuel injected, not to mention that some gets out to the exhaust in a nice flash :D

    Rocker Cover Painting

    strange, that looks like a hole, mine is flat although the plenum has a hole that joins that area. what's that for?

    Plenum got painted this day

    used hammerite on it and the TB and some black VHT paint I had on the fuel rail guard. did it not only for the looks but it seems like painted parts are a lot easier to clean lol got some pics of the lower inlets to get some opinions if porting them is worthwhile (they are the RS stamped ones)

    Re-wireing the horns

    Misfire/Spluttering/Coughing noise

    OZ F1s on a 182

    narrower mechanical track should explain it, it's just that I wasn't aware of that. ph1 and 2 owners get some measurements :D

    OZ F1s on a 182

    that means the ph1 172 has a wider track than ph2 which iirc is ET48? odd..

    OZ F1s on a 182

    f1's should be about ET48 like the ph2 172 wheels, would be odd that the ph1 to have a wider track

    Show us your flat wipers

    flat wipers work well on rather flat windscreens, on the clio they don't cover the end of the screen, classic ones if they're good quality do this much better. I had 2 sets of valeo flat ones, and they were a pain in the winter when snowing, a clog of ice gathered on the wiper in the area that...

    ...yet another goodie from citroen: C2 aerial part no: 6561.N3 after the C3 washer jets this will be my next upgrade

    Fitted these washer jets

    actually no, they are C3 jets, or at leas that's how I've found them. It's very likely they are the same with the xsara/c4/who nows what else
  26. ripp

    Fitted these washer jets

    will tell you soon enough. shouldn't be that bad considering many new cars are equipped with these. anyway, with the old ones it's either they work good at 70 but spray above the car at low speeds or bad at 70 and good at low speeds... at least with these I'll get a nice spray top or bottom of...
