Could I please have a hand id’ing these cams. They came with my 172 when I bought it, I think they’re standard but not 100% sure.

Has anyone used gaz gha coilovers with the standard 300/400 spring rates? As I’m pretty sure mine are fucked as they bounce about a lot, although the roads round my way are s**t. Would be good to hear other people’s experiences

Thanks to @Daniel (legend even delivered them!) I now have a set of NS2-R’s ready for my track evening at snetterton this coming Monday. Car has been wheel aligned, filled with fuel, done 40 miles on the road and it seems all okay. Just to fit the new tyres and a final spanner check before...

Not part of the test so won’t matter either way

Giving string alignment a go. Not ideal without turn plates but I’m not paying £46 at the local tyre place to have it done.

My 2 garage spaces, pretty lucky to have them, although I don’t have power/light in them so can be a pita running extension leads out. Shame their is a wall down the middle of them, one day I’ll ask if I can knock it down.

I use a 5pk847

That’s the plan 😂 I’m not 100% sure on the model (forgot to look before i put it back together!) but it’s a helix one and it was in good condition, looked barely worn.

You may have just read my 182 thread and again it’s been a while! After the MOT hiccup I found the starter motor wiring had shorted on the exhaust manifold, back feeding the alternator and killing the alternator. After much faffing I got that sorted and had to wire in a new inline fuse as the...

So it’s been a while but still going. Some things have happened meaning when the car is complete my dad will be having it back and enjoying it for himself, ashame for me but that’s life! I’ll still get to enjoy it at some point! Anyway, lots of progress. We got the gearbox rebuilt and diff...

I shouldn’t look at cups makes me wonder why I sold mine 😭 looks like a cracking example!

@George@RTR_Parts

I’ll check mine when I’m home but my gut is that that’s right to allow for some thermal expansion

As incy said I think with that brace they could be too rigid. That being said I’ve put full faith in the opinion of the guy that welded it up for me

Same place mine went, the guy who welded mine said that plate on them is pointless and took it off, time will tell to see if he’s right.

I got mine re-welded, didn’t want to buy another for it to crack again

Really into gears and gasoline at the moment

Mines 52 plate and doesn’t have ESP😃

I need to order some engine bits and I want to order the thicker Megane gasket. Do I need to order a clio headset and then just a Megane headgasket, or can I just order a Megane headset? I’m not sure if the rest of the gaskets transfer over from 172 to Megane 225?

And she’s back on the ground, still some niggly bits to do to the suspension/subframe but she’s largely complete. Engine build next....

Easily worth that IMO. Collecting cars would be great for it

Do love reading your threads, if you can definitely keep it!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, today I managed to pop the fuseable link because the starter wiring touched the manifold 😩 from what I’ve read I need 120amp mega fuse? It’s all standard location etc

If doing it at home on the driveway I’d pull it out the top and do it all in one go. But if you have access to a ramp I’d leave the engine in and drop the subframe/gearbox. As for jobs while it’s out, I’d whip off the sump and fit some arp rod bolts and reseal the sump. I’d also consider...

Some progress today! Subframe back on with new lower arm (offside was already new) new arb bushes inside and out. Also replaced the steering arm and track rod ends . Fitted the rear pms studs, and ran a new fuel return line to the tank as the old one was too short. Aiming to have it rolling...

Mate of mine put some in his 182, I thought the quality was really good and they were comfortable too

And she’s MOT’d! And proceeded to thank me by the alternator internally shorting out and breaking down on the way home 😛 got to love French cars

I haven’t no, still looking at them though as they seem good value! Yep I can’t wait been a long time coming lol Cheers mate! I meant to tag you but I think I was still half asleep when I posted that this morning! Really really love them, way to good to go on track.

Cheers dude! Not too bad, just took time made sure it was all okay and went for it. I always use a dremel for final trimming

Back in my possession at my house, not ideal but where she was can’t be used much longer so outside storage will have to do for now 😔
