In the past 3 weeks I've come very close to pushing it down a field and burning it a few times lol.

What a pile of s**t the best thing for that car is to write it off and by a renault!
Yeah great idea, I'll replace one piece of badly built tat with another piece of badly built tat.
to me, it looks like a compressed air push fit connector.

Or half of one anyway.
Well, we started the car this morning with the hose out, as we knew it would sit at about 2K. Then put the hose in, with a poor seal, and the idle dropped to 1K. Left the car to fully warm up, idle dropped as the engine got warmer, back down to the usual 750ish RPM.
So now I've got to put the bodywork back on, and have a run around the block to see if I have any servo assist and how it runs out on the road, rather than sat in a garage.

Nope, I had the plastic type you have on before. It's now a metal VVC type. Not changing the manifold, there's no room to remove it all with the head in situ.
I think I'll just gum it right up with some kind of sealant and hope for the best.

Cleaned it, Well, kind of. It was absolutely caked. One half assed clean and then some half assed pics later...

Its not hard to change the manifold, quarter inch socket set and your away.I doubt it would make 136.9bhp with the standard one on.
FLOL, Best take that up with Paul at RS Tuning then. It was the same setup as a TF135, only with a better exhaust system and minus the inlet manifold the day of that run. More than capable of the power it made.
I tried for ages when I did the headgasket with a small 1/4" drive and I couldn't get at the lower bolts so took the inlet off with the head. I've gummed it up for now, waiting to see if it seals after a good day or so of setting.
I get really sick of fiddly things very quickly lol. Glad I changed the 'stat with the head off, it's in the worst place they could of put it.
Yeah, the way it's been designed shocks the block/head with cold water when the 'stat opens. There's a thermostat relocation kit, but it's not cheap.
Standardisation begins...
Standard rear lights on, prefer the tinted ones but that's not the point of this excercise.
Janspeed Manifold & Sports Cat off, being swapped for standard items today. Breezed off, I thank whoever invented Nickel Anti Seize compound for that.

Heart's set on a 200SX, most likely an S14A.
In fact, so much so I've just bought a set off R33 GTS-T Front Brake Calipers with braided lines on them.

All done, now rocking a 160 manifold & cat.
Good lad.
What a piece of s**t this car really is. Most other cars would be fine sat in a garage for 3 weeks, plus I've replaced most parts back to standard on it (Throttle Body, Cams and Airbox in the engine department). So I start it up today, hmmmm, running on 3 cylinders. Another frigging problem to solve, and I need it out of the garage this week. FML.
Girlfriend has a clio and this place isn't run by a complete and utter knob. What are you doing on here?
my mates, have clios they are on here, well one of them has a clio now and the others have gone back to ford lol
Your jus shocked by the epic awesomeness of british engineering lol

Does that guy happen to be Tony? Went to trax with my mate in his ZR last year and watched some guy called Tony make a complete prat of himself and the club.
LOL no, but Tony is a very good friend of mine. A curly pube haired kid?
Apologies in that case then. My mate had paid for tracktime and he gave his pass to someone else, then he seemed evasive about giving him a refund. I also watched him insist on moving about 10 members cars around the stand, stalling a comical amount of times then insulting a couple of people about their cars. That was how I formed my opinion of him!
Yeah he's a **** end at times.
I love you Sump lol
french fail at everything
Pube head, funny bloke odd at times
