I wish my brain was as big as yours

Sounds like a timing issue to me, but equally could also be an issue with the dephaser or dephaser solenoid. If you're at a loss, checking the timing would be cheapest to do, as you would only have to replace the cam caps on the right hand side of the head.

You know what the solution is right? Stop monitoring it :tearsofjoy:

Interesting how it has worn. I guess it’s attributable to your road miles, and it being used twice as much throughout a normal trackday. Fair play to him doing it on the floor!

It’s certainly not the case for semi slicks

Turborenault may be able to offer some advice too. There’s a guy on there who put a Meg engine into his Twingo. You’d expect the Clio lump to be easier

It’s a ‘new’ tyre isn’t it. Will take time to filter down through into our sizes.

No they aren’t

175nm Easy job. Less than an hour for both sides.

Some are built different. It's a known issue, and not something which people should think in to too much. Me and my pals ordered 5 sets of Gaz's and fitted them all in the space of a few weeks. 3 cars needed additional clearance, 2 didn't.

The internet will tell you that they are, but I replaced mine with a matched part number one on eBay and it was fine.

That's not much help considering he's done the job now :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

It's no wonder the diffuser started melting, as that's a 197 system. The tips are not meant to stick out so far. Any 197 system will fit a 200 diffuser (correctly) if you trim the tips down.

You can fit the new top mounts to the shocks no problem, but then the springs wouldn’t fit. Springs are a different size between early and late cars.

Well they’re 50x100mm if you wanted to buy your own

I’m not too sure what you’re asking. You can replace the pulley just with the lower timing pin in place. I’ve only ever done it with a genuine kit tho. Alternatively, if you haven’t got a pin, you can do it by putting the car in gear and holding the brakes.

I had a Bosch one from euros on mine. Was still pricey though

The sensor needs replacing for definite. That will be effecting how the car runs quite considerably, and it's probably a contributing factor as to why the cat appears to be dead. My car would never pass with just the one cat, but, for the cost, i would just get a used main cat added to your...

Correct. I did not

I’ve drilled mine to 80mm on the Meg. I wouldn’t go any bigger personally.
