Impatient mofo, try and think about something else Nick.
how did you check the engine was at TDC with the crank pin fitted?
i know marco , just fancy a change now , all the use i wanted out of the car has gone now , wanted to do a few track days in it hence spending all this money , but the car has spent more time at m tech than i have drove it !!! if only k tec had there DTH boddies for sale when i was looking about
lol sounds like its our fault there Nick..... if the car worked (ie properly) it would make the cliamed power and be back with you 3 weeks ago!
We're on it!
been down there stripping some bits out of the car tonight russ , the car has been stood there for a while as i think they are busy on other things , he is hoping to get it all sorted this week so hopefully provided he can find the prob car should be back friday running good power
there was no damage to it , the car went on a track day few weeks prior to going into have throttle bodies done and ran fine to me , http://www.youtube.com/user/axgtbwaii#p/a/u/2/VjREGip3WLoMatt,
From what I can see you are bending over backwards to try and sort this. You have notable gains from before the conversion. It's not your fault the timing was out to start with as you didn't do this work. You should be commended for the gains shown!
Is it possible that some internal damage has been done to the engine or was the timing only marginally out?
Top marks for wanting to sort this as many tuners wud tell the customer to f**k off or worse still not even answer the phone!

Guessing your the 172 infront of the car thats filming?
And surely the timing was out then aswell? But as you said it looks like its running fine on that video.
cam car did a 2.20 ish lap, and passed him....and looked like he did so very easily...no way was the car running anywhere near right. even a nr standard williams will b quicker than that.
looks well slow to me tbh.
yes it does.
as above, cam car was a slow lap, 172 wasnt driving as tho he was chilin out on a cool down lap so i would say he was trying.
Stu,
We are indeed workin away at it!
Nick, if we can;t find the problem by the end of the week you can collect it but I would be happier if it went away running spot on....
Cheers,
Matt
empty your pm's 9lives!
the cam timing has been rectified though 2 live , sideways danny has been and inspected the car and thats all he could see i presume after looking over the car , i know they are trying there best but the car doesnt seem to be getting touched , granted there busy but come on a set of throttle bodies doesnt take 3 months , k tec can do them in a day , and if the car isnt/wanst running right i should of been told before doing the work to car , matt told me this was the sort of power they expect to see out of a clio 172 so i thought none the wiser , and 3 months on the car is running 130bhp now after having there ecu and jenveys fitted , it is standard practice to do a health check and if there are any prob's with car notify the customer before doing the job ??? dont just go ahead and do it to get it out the door and money in the bank !!! this car is really getting me down recently and i have forked out 3 months tax/insurance , fuel there and back 2 or 3 times , and the car is still running sh1t ..
