    Bedding in discs

    Oh and the grooves can be any direction you like, it makes no difference from the grooving point of view. The only thing that affects which way they run is if the webbing has a direction and I'm pretty sure they don't

    Bedding in discs

    You'll need a 12mm hex key to remove the caliper bolts, they are an M14 thread. As for bedding in it all depends what pads your running. For standard I take it easy for a few hundred miles. But for DS2500's for example the bed in procedure is go out and give them loads of grief, let them cool...

    Check ESP / Check ABS

    It will have logged an esp error as the front wheels were moving and the rears weren't, it confuses the poor little thing. It's like when you get your car on the rollers

    Check ESP / Check ABS

    I think thats a fault you'll need to get looked at, I believe the ABS system locks on for certain faults. How you been a bit forceful to see if its just the cold?

    Clio camms update

    I thought so ;) lol cyclone?? can I use the cyclone off my Dyson? If I attach it to the exhaust to suck out gasses will that act like a reverse turbo?

    ITG Maxogen proven increase

    I'm a little surprised at the response to this to be honest, I don't believe a lot of at fly claims by rolling roads but this isn't that sort of thing, same rollers, same day just a different air intake. The curve isn't going to be that much different it's a 6bhp increase, not 20, he's not...

    ITG Maxogen proven increase

    I'm tempted to buy one for the 182 and test it. If it gets an improvement in bhp it would show how crap the BMC CDA was

    ITG Maxogen proven increase

    a 6bhp at the wheel is a good result for an induction init, especially on a car thats been difficult to get these working. How does it sound now?

    Clio camms update

    I wasnt questioning the percentage used for power loss, just the maths lol I remember seeing a rr result on a 197 once that gave a 205bhp@ fly result but a 145ish bhp@ wheel, 30% loss thru the transmission, that made me laugh

    Clio camms update

    I heard from a friend of a friend of an uncle that if you remove the cams completely, drill a 24.6mm diameter hole in the airbox, and run a 0-30W oil then you'll see a gain of around 55bhp with a nice and smooth tick over, worth exploring??

    Clio camms update

    Math correction 100BHP @ wheel with the transmission absorbing 20% of engine power would be a 25bhp loss through the transmission, so power at fly would be 125bhp ;)

    2012 Golf Gti

    The problem for me was the German factor with the new Golf GTi, a friend of mine brought one and said it was a lovely car and went quick, but was just a little dull. It didn't excite him when he put his put down. I was taken out in a Golf R, and for me it suffered the same problem, lovely...

    SORN'ed

    True, but all it really needs insuring for is fire. With it being locked away in the garage, and all the other steps I've taken there's no way anyones stealing it, or setting it on fire for that matter. So all I really need cover for is incase the house sets on fire and takes the car with it...

    I believe I'm right in saying its the small alan key hole on the very top of the strutt, and there should be one on the bottom. Or at least thats were they are on the Meg :)

    Hid's vs upgraded bulbs?

    This isn't true mate, HID kits have always been illegal its just that now MOT stations are actively looking for them. I believe there is a thread on it somewhere. Any kind of Xenon etc. lighting system needs self leveling and washer regardless of whether they were fitted at factory or aftermarket
