what were the symptoms of the fuel pump failures?complete failure or poor running? we've had door seals centre exhaust section clutch pedal

Rich me old mukka! fancy bumping into you over here. drop me a PM fella must catch p.s seems like an excellent trip and amazing photos

Just re-inforces what i have been thinking that the factory setup is best left alone! seems that the soundproofing valve allows an extra 40% air consumption and if ecu controlled surely this would mean fuelling and ignition optimised as such probably in parallel with the intake cam timing swing...

i think what the OP is asking is do the valve clearances need to be adjusted as part of the service schedule as per hona v-tech engines

thats alot of money! and unless you can honestly say your driving skills are such that you can get 100% out of your car not worth the outlay IMHO

What size spacers are those?

Always run momentum(just the old super 99 re-branded),the mpg will get better as the car gets more miles on it!especially if you do a 5k oil change

lol,that said most people i know do run cut slicks all year and say they are far better than normal tyres in the wet obviously standing water and ice excluded

very nice car love the leathers! agree with your feelings on csc3's dont like them either but have to say they perform alot better when 50% worn and with 20degree plus ambient temps,i want to try michelin ps's in 225/45 for road tyre next and proper cut slicks on our track wheels

Found the stock brakes to be pretty good,do glaze up quick though when town driving meaning not very good initial bite but haven't faded at all at the 'Ring or bedford. Was running low 9mins being pretty conservative. friend of ours is a local and instructor done many thousand laps and he can do...

If it a daily driver a/c is a must!use ours all the time and was a must have option for us no two ways about it,even all my rs(lightweight version) evos have had factory option a/c would never buy car without. in a normally aspirated small engined car every gram counts but still wouldn't go...

Fantastic,easily my favourite track, great surface loads of run off excellent facilities and quick corners not hard on brakes. clio was awesome harnesses definetly helped just wish the cup had rake adjustment then I could get seating position spot on!

You will find all racing brake fluids are dot4,dot 5.1 are long life fluids and less seceptable to moisture absorbtion than dot4,obviously this is beneficial for road cars but due to the regular changes for race cars the better mechanical properties of dot4 are preffered

Our 200 has come alive since changing the oil!felt even better after our trackday at bedford, was sceptical about it taking so long to loosen up fully but its about 8k now and has come good!car has had a hard life from day 1 but always warmed up properly and only super unleaded used only mod is...

Can't go wrong with the old fashioned way if you know how to do it properly,cheap pressure bleed kits are more hassle than their worth never used a vacuum bleeder but sure it is better than ezi bleed
