Not sure Jonny but will ask for you this evening.

just got a pic off boomer(cheers)
looks very similar to last time,although this time im running george(172) so shouldnt have as much of a problem with heat soak as i did with the 16v,
which resulted in the engine det'ing and going home on a recovery truck lol
speaking of which they promised me a free run the next time i came as it never made the 3rd run??

 

[Cerrone]

Received Dan, thanks mate. May get you to finally detail my cup eventually but for now it's tucked up with a broken gearbox

 

[Cerrone]

No way!! Wen did that go?! I think my Power steering pump has gone!!!!

 

[mharvey]

Got it started a day or two after I spoke to you and went for a 20 min spin rather than turning it off right away, then it went lol.

 

[MartinR]

I'm selling


SAMCO SILICONE INDUCTION HOSE RENAULT CLIO 172


http://bit.ly/V15Ex6
Martin you want it ?

Dan thanks for the offer mate i have just sold mine due to not needing it because of supercharger i mean ktec induction kit.

 

[mharvey]

because of supercharger.

Sorry...what?!

 

[Thrust-Rated]

He's kidding

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

hmmm, shall i or shall i not. i might end up with a ' runoff ' diesel :S

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Stick it on!

 

[mharvey]

I was hoping he was...as I'd throw my toys out the pram, I want one first haha. Need a job simply to supply supercharger

 

[mharvey]

Do it, no smoke no poke etc.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

thing is, it doesnt chuck much smoke out, and doesnt put out allot of power..... if it starts putting clouds of black s**t out again, it means new turbo time

irrc iv only got 50bhp of my 80 left anyway. after taking the remap off ( due to it caulsing problems )

 

[MartinR]

He's kidding

Am i?

Yep although i was thinking of doing it but i would end up braking the car. So i paid some off my mortgage instead

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Well done Martin. It's logical really.

 

[Adam G]

Do it for the torque Ryan!

 

[MartinR]

Shall try and talk the mrs into bringing the dci100 wouldn't mind seeing what it is making.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Do it for the torque Ryan!

160 ft pounds of torque probs LOL!

a dci 100 puts out over 200 torque's i think.

saying that, there are some freak dci engines

 

[MartinR]

I very much doubt my dci will put out that much the bloody thing keeps leaking at the intercooler due to the hose being plastic? Another great renault design.

Anyone contacted Adam (t21ads) to see if he is coming? As he can't acess this section.

 

[davo172]

Shall try and talk the mrs into bringing the dci100 wouldn't mind seeing what it is making.

DO IT !!!!!!

 

[mharvey]

Yeah sent him a text today funnily enough Martin I text him about every meet

 

[Addicted]

Just about to pay now!

Dave - the Ktec IK takes a while to fit tbh - maybe worth finding someone who has had their run done first, and then fit that Ktec kit on your first run, that way its a lot easier to switch over!

I've got one also, so if need be I can also do the switch etc.

 

[DaveDreads]

So I take it it's a lot easier to remove than fit then?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Mines being delivered today apparently.

 

[MartinR]

Good luck Chris.

Come to think about it when you fit the IK to Daves car just turn the hose upwards it s two mins to swap thenits ontop of the ecu bracket
And run with the bonnet up. Saves fitting it in behinf the headlight and its only


flol that makes no sense due to being on phone.

[Thrust-Rated]

Well it arrived today. And my god. I was disappointed. Looked inside the hose, as you do. To see this



It looks like its burnt the inner surface as its been made or something.
We're others like this?

 

[Addicted]

WTH!

I didn't look inside no, but assume it wasn't like that!

 

[Thrust-Rated]

It looks like a dry puddle of something. But I put finger in and can feel it. It's strange. I lol'd at invoice date too 10/12/2012. Took their time!

 

[DaveDreads]

Jesus, if that's the state of the workmanship I might just stick with my V6 box. :S

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I know Dave it's appalling. I've just got off the phone with them, they asked for me to email some pictures over.





That one was taken by phone inside the top elbow facing down towards the other bend.
So disappointed.

 

[MartinR]

FFS!!!! Mine wasn't like that.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Just had a call back. Turns out its 'leftover residue' what hasn't been rinsed properly before put in the oven? Been told to run some hot water through it and try and scrub it off before fitting.

I will see if that works. They said they checked all their hoses and couldn't see others like it. So I've had the 'freak' one.

 

[B00mer]

Why should you be cleaning anything off a new product, surely there should be some quality check before shipping goods?

I'd tell them where to go mate.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I know I said the same. They said they usually check all products before shipping. But must not have checked this one. Unlucky for me.

Problem is, if you tell them where to go and send it back, then you have to wait for another one.

Pretty sure they're already in short supply, so cleaning it yourself outweighs waiting for ages.

I'd ask for discount...or tell 'em you ran to the door to collect it and did your ankle in...so want compo!

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Haha. I'm going to rinse it. Like Matt has said. Send it back and wait another nearly 2 months. I'm ok thanks.
