  1. ac delete

    i think you can just use a belt but the ribbed side will be on a flat roller so not ideal. The better way is to use the standard tensioner with a mazda ribbed roller. I used the same stuff as Lofty on Briskoda with my pd130 sport and it's been good for several years so far...
  2. Loose Drop Links??

    meyle do a HD line which in generasl seems to be more heavy duty. I have their standard ibiza ones but they are not as short as the mondeo ones. They may do meyle HD mondeo ones. Not really that important though. You sure you are torquing up the nuts enough? You holding the bolt end steady...
  3. Loose Drop Links??

    I don't think so, just shorter. You can probably get uprated ones like meyle HD the ones you have got have locking nuts?
  4. Loose Drop Links??

    People usually fit mondeo ones i think. Not done it personally but it may be better?
  5. Aux belt resistance- alternator clutch or ac compressor?

    Ok still pondering this one... AXR engine I think based on looking at real OEM and various other places that i may need a 780mm belt (that would fit just the alternator to the crankshaft pulley) Various things suggest i may or may not need a tensioner. possibly this one...

  9. Aux belt resistance- alternator clutch or ac compressor?

    Interesting stuff, thanks RUM4MO! Half thinking AC delete anyway as i've never really needed it but finding a good guide is hard. Obviously need a shorter belt but i think the tensioner may need moved/changed in that case
  10. Aux belt resistance- alternator clutch or ac compressor?

    Hi Folks My pd100AXR is a little shakey when pulling away in 1st (especially so when cold) and the transmission/engine seems to lurch a bit when i let off the accelerator quickly. I started it up and wend for a quick drive without the aux belt and it seems considerably smoother I've checked...
  11. pre facelift pd130 (ASZ) engine to PD100 facelift

    hmmm any other options that are good value? I'm thinking that it doesn't need to be so custom when components are pretty standard. I do want to do it right but i reckon the ten minutes it takes to transfer a file shouldn't be super expensive ( of course there are R&D costs for some mappers)...
  12. pre facelift pd130 (ASZ) engine to PD100 facelift

    planning on using a blacksmoke map initially on the pd130. Heard they are mostly pretty decent for stage 1. Any opinions?
  13. pre facelift pd130 (ASZ) engine to PD100 facelift

    Thank you badger. great info! Looking at stage 1 for now then possibly a hybrid or something else alongside a clutch to bring it up to 200-220. once i'm more committed Pretty sure the pd100 ASV is electronic, had noticed the ASZs one was vacumn opperated. The pd100 already has a remap but i...

  16. pd100 AXR upgrade advice

    That may well be the best thing for me to do then! I'd like to go crazy with it but obviously costs get ridiculous. Hopefully an LSD in the future though. Thank :)
  17. pd100 AXR upgrade advice

    Seen both the 1749vb and injectors for decent prices on ebay so sounds good. You reckon they're reliable at that power? any idea if your friends have done the clutch? Thanks Gaz
  18. pd100 AXR upgrade advice

    Hey folks Looking for more power (among other things) I've currently got a PD100 AXR Ibiza 6L with a remap and 90000 on the clock (57plate). Quite happy but i want more power I guess i have three rough options Get PD130 injectors and a larger turbo of some description (plus supporting...
