    Exhaust

    As you said before Noel there will be a lot of disappointed faces at the rolling road me thinks! Me being one of them, If my clutch is on its way out will that affect the power figures?

    Exhaust

    1/ Yes the back box is the same :) , as in the dimensions are the same so it will fit, although there is an internal difference as the RS200 has a flap that opens when over a certain pressure... 2/ factory wheel Alignment specs- On 32psi tyre pressures- Rear Axle: Camber -0deg 55min +/- 45min toe in +0deg 11min +/- 11min Front Axle: Camber -0deg 30min +/- 45min Castor +6deg 05min +/- 45min toe in +0deg 05min +/- 05min contact Tony on his website for a more accurate diagnosis Could this flap be responsible for the flat spot on acceleration im currently experiencing? The flat spot is between 3-4k revs How much would I be looking at for a new back box? After market boxes from the like of HKS cost about 550, not sure about factory replacemnets. ring up a Lexus dealer
  3. Ye hopefully its nothing just me be paranoid thanks for the info anyway Lee
  4. Ah ****! So can u recommend a good uprated clutch that doesnt cost a fortune? And is it worthwhile getting a lighweight flywheel at the same time? no idea how much they cost
  5. Thing is i dont know what a slipping clutch is like, never happened to me before this is only my second motor! Sometimes when im putting the foot down, say just after going through the toll bridge, revvin to about 7000rpm in first, second then into 3rd at about 6500rpm, sometimes the car seems to be revving higher but not going as fast as usual. Makes sense, or say drivin along stuck in traffic and u get a bit of straight to put the foot down. the back to stuck in traffic, there would be a bit of a smell inside the car and out. Maybe im just pushing her too hard? Dizz said he would have a look at it over the weekend for me
  6. Or if handy get a young child with small hands to pry it out and then reward with candy!!!
  7. Its done about 68000 miles, about 7000 since it got its full service in august
  8. Would this show up in the NCT? Due to go for it in March? Car is still under warranty would the clutch be covered in that? NCT don't check as much as you think.... Safety and pollution is all they do... i got a cert for my old galant with only 3 gears working.. lol warrenty? didn't you get it from a relation? surely he'll sort you out.... I'd be more worried with the fact of getting it Dyno-ed might be worth thinking about paying a bit more and get an upgraded one, FIRST thing to do is find out for sure is it the clutch? Ah ye got if off my uncles place, with a 6 month warranty, would have no problem getting it replaced out of warranty just might have to pay a bit. How much would there be in the difference between the standard replacement clutch and an uprated one. If it is a slipping clutch can it be fixed or is it usually replaced?

  10. Just noticed a nasty smell from my RS recently. Say when accelerating fast from a stand still up to about 120kmh/70mphrevving to about 6500rpm.(its not burning rubber!) Never smelled anything like this before. I've done 10000km approx since i bought the thing in August. Its due an oil a filter change at the weekend. Could it possily be a sign the clutch is on its way out? Checked the clutch fluid and it seems fine. Any ideas?
  11. Ok so could he Do Irish spec plates? They are the same as German spec but with An "IRL" logo on the left instead of a "D"
  12. Or you could try and get your hands on a factory Turbo'ed Tom's Altezza!
  13. The R200 is a 4 cylinder. Greddy do a Bolt on turbo kit that comes with everything you need. However try and get ur car insured with that over here would be interesting I heard the turbo kits are more reliable
  14. Ye thought it was only 95 i knew it was to ggod to be true that we could get a 99 Ron fuel over here, a well! The rolling road will show is all how good it actually is in March! True, hopefully i'll be bringing a Jerry can over with 99Ron jerry can .... bring a tanker for fooks sake.....we're dieing over here :P I second that! Just dont get caught

  16. i just put hids in to it and im getting the middle bit in my bumper sprayed gray and i got a nice pioneer headunit.im not going to do much to it.because i have another project on at the moment whats the other project, tell us all!!
  17. So just doing a bit of research online and found out that vpower is actuallty rated at 99 RON. Is that the case for vpower in Ireland or just the UK? I use it in mine anyway, but just curious to know the actually RON that it is.
  18. Only 27000km?? that sound very low for a 2000, are you sure it wasnt clocked? If it is original fair play. Fancy attending the rolling road event in March?? :P And Welcome to LOC. Us irish are taking over the place!!
