Guys, just about to order this head unit http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/bluetooth/head-units/alpine-ute-72bt-media-receiver I currently have just the bog standard single cd head unit, but it does have the controls on the steering column which I'd like to retain. So will I need an adapter to...

We both acknowledged each other :thumbup1:

Thanks for the reply mate. Are the track pressures you quote hot temps? They sound very low if they are?

They do tend to 'chuff' at idle. It's just a lumpy idle, perfectly normal. Although if it's really exaggerated it could be an injector issue.

I wouldn't worry about the missing piece, it won't have fallen off while in the car, the stuff is pretty hard to tear at the best of times.

I think he means the radius the tool will leave in the corners when it machines the 'pocket' out (tool dependant) anyway. If it's not imperative in your design to have square corners then I'd spec them with a radius anyway just for strength, especially if you're wanting them made from aluminium...

As above really, what pressures are people running for the road? And then on track? A previous car I was running around 36 hot in the dry on track, but with the Clio being much lighter what does it tend to like?

Define the 'lower swivel joint' mate? You mean the bottom ball joint on the wishbone? Mine creaks from the front when turning you can hear it at low speeds. Not had chance to have a look yet though.

I can certainly drive my 200 harder and faster around my local twisty lanes than I could in any of my previous RS's. The closer to the edge you are the more excitable the experience. Great handling cars!

I've ran all my performance cars on Momentum. My last Focus RS Mk2 was Revo stage 4 and 400bhp/400ft/lb. Always ran a scan gauge and monitored AFR's at WOT, it never missed a beat, never leaned out and was never any cause for concern. So Momentum gets my vote ;) BUT if the car wasn't mapped I'd...

I believe the parts sponsor on the site is the cheapest.

I see you're only in Chesterfield mate, I'm down between J26/27. Wouldn't mind meeting up and seeing what the conversion entails sometime.

Does the meg box drop straight in if you use meg shafts? I'd of thought the slightly taller ratios make a n/a feel pretty sluggish compared to the standard box?

Thats impressive mate, I honestly didn't think a box with that many miles on + the extra torque would cope. Just proves they aren't all bad.

If the Clio box is kept, which is made of cheese anyway, doesn't the extra power/torque when boosted just lunch it quick time?

Great! Maybe a before and after to show the difference? I'm a sucker for a good induction growl lol.

Does anyone have any videos of an open cone on a 197/200?

Mines mapped and had the center silencer removed. I don't know if it was removed pre or post remap as it was done before I got the car.. But there's is a rather large and noticeable flat spot in the lower revs if trying to accelerate.

I should add that I fitted spacers to my Mk2 Focus RS and immidietly felt the disadvantage of doing so. Fitting them basically undid all the work of the revoknuckle front hub ford had spent so long developing. I soon removed them.

Yeah, marketing speil. Load of rubbish. Moving the centreline of the wheel out will increase the scrub angle and cause excess torque steer and under steer. The scrub angle is the angle cast if you draw a line between the top and bottom suspension mounting points, and the centreline of the wheel...
