I did a bit more looking the part number off the turbo is the same as a 225! So it must be just not tuned up as much . Ive it up for breaking God knows how long it will take to shift

Not the prettiest.... Never even seen one before a friend rang me about it. Is the block the same as 225? Just different turbo and pistons??

Hi folks! Haven't posted in a while... Just bought a vel satis 2.0 petrol turbo like 20 min ago... Is there much value in breaking it? Anything the same engine/gearbox(6 speed) wise compared to 225's or 197's?? Cheers :)

Currently got a wd media player(plays avi,mpeg....not mkv though..) Most new files are mkv though.... So it'd be easier just to upgrade my media player.. :) Anybody bought one recently? (I've 2.....1tb hdds and a fat tv) Don't need wifi etc, Thanks

Ha ha,That is class chi :-) Makes me want to blow up the dci engine and drop in a spare cammed williams engine I have here :smiley: The ph2 alloys suite the van actually! Here are the ones I got Saturday, I'm thinking dark grey or anthracite grey. There stamped renault. What clio did they...

When you say brakes.....you mean the discs?? I only ever heard the rear caliper's are the same(not sure about carriers...) What size are the discs? 172's are 238mm

Thanks, didn't think the 15" would be alright on it :) Thought they'd be a bit heavy!! Just home from buying a set of 14" oz f1's for €45 with 2 tyres :) (€50 in petrol too :( ) If I don't like them on the van I'll use the williams or 19 turbines :)

Any recommendations for 14" alloys for a 07 kangoo?(mk1 ph2) I'd prefer to stick to renault alloys tbh, Pictures if ye have them :smile: I have 15" Williams and 15" 19 turbines... But would they slow it down/ wreck the ride? It's only 55bhp iirc Thanks :smile:

Mostly :) 2x3mm washers for where the calipers meets the hub, 15mm wheel spacer(10mm or 13mm might work)

Got a ecu map(m-tech v4) off a fella online :) I mapped the ecu but the car wouldn't start still :( Bought a polo radiator for the car last week... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111309859600 But I got the wrong one and it was too tall and too long for the car :/ So I'm...

18/06/2014 Done a nice bit today, Only had 1 engine mount and a crane holding the engine up for like 2 months Today I fitted; Gearbox mount, Removed the 172/4th mount as it was hitting power steering pipe Fitted fuel lines(feed works..must extend the return pipe though) A new polybushed...

**Beware....don't buy off pepper performance from the uk**** I sent them back my manifold and they never refunded me :( €160 gone :(

172 springs are the same as Williams springs :) so they'll fit mk1 shocks. few people have out mk2 172 shocks on mk1's, Think it needs a few washers extra on it or something, have a look on the c16valver site :) thats where i seen it
