    Fitting GTi sideskirts

    I used sikaflex when I fited skirts to my old Si. Use plenty of it, as the glue will be hidden, plus it's not worth the trouble of having to reglue them because you didn't use enough. Also there's a screw at each end where the skirt overlaps the arches and sits slightly inside them.

    My 205 mi16,if anyone fancies a peek...

    good stuff! if you sell the coilovers let me know. fancy lowering mine a bit more. I'm on the lookout for some Mi16 OEM 5 spoke alloys for it too, which I'm told are ten-a-penny but dammed if I can find any (apart from a set I'm watching on ebay). With my radiator, I've tried tilting it away...

    rear view mirror

    I tried that and it didn't really do anything either. the only proper way to combat vibration it is to move the mirror to the screen, but as I say I don't know if it's possible to get a proper screen mounted mirror for the N15. I'm sure it is if you're willing to spend silly money on a custom...

    Dyno results with Mod list and an apology

    exactly, a remap isn't necessary but it's necessary to get the best out of any mods. the standard ecu will do up to a point. full throttle i.e. closed loop mapping will only really cope with so much.

    MOT - Head Gasket???

    head gaskets can go between oilways, waterways and the cylinder in any cimbination of the three. more often than not it's between two of the cylinders tho.

    Dyno results with Mod list and an apology

    yeah that's what I meant. reading it back it doesn't make much sense. the filter will do next to nothing apart from make a noise. on the 1.4 the standard panel filter is less of a restriction than the throttle body/inlet manifold/head ports & valves and you're better off with cleaner air...

    Dyno results with Mod list and an apology

    technically it's not underfuelling, it's over airing... if that makes sense. if you modify the engine to flow better, at high rpm you'll be getting more air into the combustion chamber and will need to adjust timing and fuelling to match. if you weren't, why else would you need a remap after...

    Dyno results with Mod list and an apology

    147 at the wheels to 190 at the fly is a pretty optimistic flyweel correction if you ask me. all me sceptical, but I never EVER look at fly estimates on dyno printouts. every car is different and will have difefrent transmission losses. besides, what does it matter what the engine's making when...

    induction question

    tbh the induction kit isn't really going to do much on a 1.4... at all, except add noise. the biggest restriction in the 1.4 is the ports & valves in the head, along with the teeny weeny throttle body and the exhaust manifold. first port of call for me if I were tuning a 1.4 again would be the...

    MOT - Head Gasket???

    check underneath the engnie for signs of a leak before you do anything else. if there aren't any obvious signs there probably isn't a leak. next check the postong rings with a compresion test. if the pressure is the same on all 4 the rings are ok. if it's low on a couple of them, try putting a...

    Rear spoiler

    Personally I'd try Sikaflex or something similar. I never got round to changing the spoiler on my almera before I sold it, so I've no idea if it's screwed in or not, but if it's anythink like the gti splitters/skirts it's probably just glued on.

    rear view mirror

    superglue will only stop the mirror from turning itself around. it won't do much about the vibation and you'll still find it hard to see out of with the bass up. I wonder if it's posible to retrofit a glass mounted mirror to a windscreen, or whether you can get an almera with a screen mounting.

    Hello,mera 1.4 or 306 1.4

    lol... citroen... peugeot's worst kept dirty little secret ;). as far as reliability goes, mechanically you can expect as much reliability from a pug as you can from a nissan (except for the timing chain vs timing belt differences, where nissan's only downfall is the hydraulic tensioners)...

    rear view mirror

    mine used to turn itself upside down as well. Unscrew the 3 bolts that hold the base plate to the roof of the car and put some rubber O-rings between the plate and the car. worked to some extent, but other than that there's not really a great deal you can do. if the mirror were attached to the...

    Hello,mera 1.4 or 306 1.4

    yeah I remember being suprised at the N15 being quiet poorly rated in the NCAP tests, but you're right the 306 is only marginally better by 1 1/2 stars. comparison The Almera's real let down is driver protection, whereas the 306's is pedestrian safety. At least that gives us a better idea...

    My 205 mi16,if anyone fancies a peek...

    hehe good stuff. keeping the interior or are you making a track only slag out of it? the 1.9 box is longer than the Mi16 box, which is generally considered the best one for normal road use. I just want cheap thrills so I've stuck with a 1.6 box. what have ou done about radiator - inlet manifold...

    Hello,mera 1.4 or 306 1.4

    handling wise between these cars, I'd say teh 306 maybe slightly has the edge. apart from that I'd go with the almera. much more reliable, mor powerful and more than likely better on fuel. I wouldn't have had a 1.4 306 instead of my 1.4 almera given the choice. if you can, get an Si. much better...

    My 205 mi16,if anyone fancies a peek...

    funny you should bring up the Mi16 thing, I've not long since finished my conversion, and it's silly quick! What gearbox are you gonna put on it? Mine's not gonna go on the road so I don't need a tall box, so I've got a 1.6 on it. Absolutely rapid through the gears! quick suggestion, get some...

    red P2 sheffield, VZR grille, multispokes

    Saw it outside the works climbing place this evening. Think it might be the same one I spotted a few months back when I first moved up here.
