I've taken the tank out to swap it for a Kevlar tank.

What are the differences in the mechanicals? If the dci 65 can map to 90 bhp is it possible to put a dci 80 ecu in a 65 and just program in the injectors like you normally would with an injector change? That's what I'm thinking anyway!

Not sure if they're related.. A friend has had some issues with his 182 for a while now (limp home mode, heartbeat, cutting out) I've replaced the coil pack, throttle body with no luck previously. He got a P0302 code one time so we replaced the fuel rail today with one from my spare 172 - I...

Where/how do I do this? popped off the fuel rail guard and removed the injectors. Only thing left to do is disconnect it from the fuel line itself but no idea how that clip thingy disengages.

First off sorry if this is in the wrong place. :) After speaking to a cheery RAC mechanic he informed me that my fuel pump was on its way out and that I need a new one. I had a quick look on the internet to see if I could find one to replace myself. Does anyone know the best place to buy a...

What's the best way to fit a kill switch on a Mk1? I was thinking of doing it to the ground of the fuel pump but I'm not 100% on what I'm actually doing. After realising how easy it is to gain access to one of these without the keys I'd prefer to have some extra security in it as it doesn't...

What do people use to stick that annoying piece of rubber from coming up all the time behind the drivers seat, obviously its held down by the seat normally but with the car stripped it just pops of, and obviously you can smell the fuel abit too. I tried taping as a temp measure but no luck...

My current set-up is standard Clio sender and pump with the 250 meg engine and standard 3.5 bar fuel reg on the rail. The pump is 3 bar. Originally the car made 286bhp on that set-up, then Paul at RST had to fit bigger injectors (630) in order to draw enough fuel to make another 308 bhp. Really...
