I doubt the compressor would engage anyway with no pressure, there's usually a pressure sensor and if too low it won't turn on to protect the compressor
It's the same engine, some minor differences, inlet on the fn2 is better, fn2 has balance shafts on the oil pump which takes some of the rawness of the ep3 away. Ep3 has a higher VTEC point so you really feel it more.
My fn2 with a few small mods and an ecutek map with 235hp has totally...
I made the change from being a long time owner of 182 and 172s I bought myself an fn2 with LSD, and it's just better in every way than the Clio, apart from fuel consumption.
Tuning potential is far better too, loads more aftermarket parts. Can easily reach 240hp with a few bolt ons and a map...
Yeh you shouldbt need to file anyway, just drill out the old rubber, cut the outer ring with a hacksaw and then the old bush will tap out.
Then for the new one just push it in and then press the metal tube in
Looks to me like it just pushes in from one side and then you press in the metal tube, similar to ppwerflex but in one part.
I'd just get ppwerflex to be fair, tried and tested for years, I've never heard of flow flex
Same. Admiral with all mods declared was a reasonable price on my civic, it was a complete pain in the arse trying to even get a quote out of sky and Adrian flux so I gave up and just renewed with admiral. They literally charged me nex to nothing per mod anyway, I think it went up by 15 quid.
They probably aren't tbh.
You only hear of the bad ones, every Clio owner in the country doesn't post on here to tell us their timing is spot on after a belt change
Yeh I'd stick a pre cat lambda sensor in, post cat doesn't really do anything.
You could try swapping them over, but if they are both the same ages then likely both are past it.
Is it an OEM cat? My 182 had a pattern cat on it and failed the mot every year, I then managed to get a genuine 182...
To be fair these must be the only car I've come across where people on forums treat belt changes like some kind of holy ritual, and if the belt wasn't done by the chosen specialist it's worthless lol.
It's a Renault clio lol, not a lambo
Yeh your average punter isn't going to pay an additional 500 quid because you says it's had the belts done.
I'd just advertise it at around the ballpark figure, knowing that you will probably get knocked down 500 or so due to the belts.
You never know, some idiot who doesn't know any better...
Lol I had a ktec stealth, horrific sounding things.
I had toyed with the idea of chopping the stealth pipe off, and aiming it out of the rear bumper in a cutout, as apparently that reduces the drone, but in the end I just sold the car
Crazy init. I got 440 for my fn2 civic cat.
Tommy is your boy for the best price. Or sell it to Yorkshire pudding, let him take a cut, and then you don't have to wait 3 months for Tommy to message you back on Facebook lol
