Well she is sat here waiting for you buddy 👍

You did indeed sir and thank you. Also thank you for the pictures, gives me inspiration.

Ok so before anybody says it, yes I have done a search! I’m about to embark on a new project (project Binky style) and need to use the original looms from a clio 172 cup but I need to get rid of some of the electrics, mainly the Srs system. So can you reprogram the srs ecu and uch and then...

What Adey said, fit 15” Scénic steel wheels and get that true street sleeper look!

Wow that’s a thread revival! I use to have a Tamiya clio r/c and I painted it exactly the same as this ( I had a tangy rsi with 16v front end) looking forward to more updates on this mate

Is this all it fed now and working , if so what’s it like?

What would be the best way to increase the compression ratio?

Look forward to seeing how well this works!

I don’t have a budget but then I don’t want to spend thousands seeing as it’s not a race engine. So Bloke, what would be your set up if you were me? ?

I was planning, 182 manifold, port and polished inlet , v6 airbox ported head ( now a 182 head) group n timing, arp bolts, pas and air con delete and a session with Chris at Efi, am I barking up the wrong tree or would that be a good engine set up?

I always thought the ph1 head was the better head or is that sooo 2008 ?

Just picked up a ph1 172 engine and I’m about to strip down ready for a rebuild but what upgrades/mods do you recommend? I don’t want to run itb’s as it will be in a daily and touring Europe and I’m not chasing big bhp figures. Your opinions please?

Ok so I have purchased a ph1 172 engine for £50 and my plan is to rebuild build it from the sump up, but I’ve never done it before, so what recommendations would you give for a first timer? Also where would be the best place to get parts ( just going for a standard engine with group n timing)...

What this needs now is some itb”s and group n timing ;)

I feel I’m not going to get sensible responses :(
