    Cracked manifold - Clio 197

    No problem, been meaning to get it sorted for a while :) Not sure if this is something you'd know but would there be any compatibility issues between OEM or Toyo manifold to the KTEC Catback Exhaust, any average on price of labour? Looking like the parts aren't going to be the problem on this...

    Cracked manifold - Clio 197

    Hi Micah, Thanks for the quick reply, I've already got Powerflex engine mounts and it's running a KTEC Catback exhaust, potentially the KTEC manifold as well however it would appear one of the pipes is still cracked. I'll get signed up now as the forums have been good to be over the time...

    Cracked manifold - Clio 197

    Afternoon Chaps, No idea how this has happened but it would appear that i have a cracked manifold. 56 Plate - 92k Miles It's sounding a bit rattly and like a tractor up front, if you put your hand behind the engine block you can feel warm exhaust gas escaping. What's my options, would this...

    Anyone owned a VX220?

    Definitely say both those cars from stock are much more inferior to the VX220. I'd bench a VX220 up there with a S2000 rather than the opposite end of the spectrum.

    Air Filters, do they actually make a difference?

    Afternoon Guys, Trying to get to the bottom of whether or not i'm suffering from the placebo effect lol. Basically me and my mate did a big service on my cars, loads of thing swapped and sorted, sparks, oil, oil filter, pads, and it's been running great, brakes feel like they could stop a...

    Weird clutch issue on 197

    Unfortunately not, i'm due to drop it into a mates garage so he can swap my gearbox oil, going to get him to have a look then! Checked the break/clutch oil and it's all at the max level but i'll get it bled when it goes in the garage. I drove 100+ miles at the weekend, blasting through tunnels...

    Weird clutch issue on 197

    Morning Chaps! I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my clutch, sometimes the clutch doesn't depress/release fully and the clutch goes really low down... It still works fine it's just low. It seems to be resolved by taking it out of gear, pressing the clutch and then continuing as normal...
