K4M is a good engine, they play more with it in Europe, Us Brits just go for the 2lt, no point beating round the bush ;)

If the repairs good you couldn't complain at 4k for it, break down of parts if it was a dog and you broke it - Seats £900.00 Dampers springs £1000 Spoiler £250 Engine £500 Gearbox £300 Alloys & tyres £500 Could use it for a year and get your money back in parts!

Parada spec 2's are a good tyre for the money, more caution needed in the wet than other tyres but for £150 for a set of x4 delivered you cant complain for road use, there not ideal for a track use though!

Eibach & FK sell spacers, search in google

Some adjustable top mounts... thats alot of camber your aiming for, i assume its for track?

PH1 172's & early PH2 172's run larger exhaust ports than the later PH2 172 & 182 From the pictures it looks pretty ghetto but they may just be bad angles from your pics

I saw this at ace cafe over the winter months, Spoke with the original owner which I assume was previous to you? at the time he said the engine was far from healthy, New engine will hopefully bring it back to good order ;)

Couple of random shots from tonight, random edits! Shame the weather was the way it was! but well worth the drive ;)

Looking good mate, needs some skoda love & your done! Give the springs a couple of days & the height will be lower, normally 10-15mm.. Nick & Ollie, thought you two were track boys now! Detailings for poofs! ( although I mopped my hole car & headlights too with the body shops next doors...

Leave them with out, its all about the track **** look ;) But touching in the hubs is a good shout - Before After James

Seems every one has there own method of set-up but the following has worked well for me on the FK Koni adjustable coilovers Damper settings - Track day / Dry = Front 0% Stiff >> Rear - 85% Stiff Track day / Damp = Front 0% stiff >> Rear - 15% stiff Track day / Wet & standing...

Good work guys, Sure it makes all the hours put into the project all worth it when your sat on the start line ;) Good read Jay :cool:

1. Marty 2. Spongebob_172 3. Richie_DC2 4. Peperami 5. tom@jms 6. atouba 7. EllenA 8. Littlec17 9. Jamesstone Should be down, We'll see where i am Sunday

I should have checked the calender in that case :clown: Thinking about it though, general Sunday drivers are worse than rush hour ;)

Good old shires meet returns :approve: Two problems though, 6pm is rush hour and most we'll only have just got home from work at that time, second issue, any driving routes are going to be busy untill 9:30pm onwards so start time of 7:30 maybe better? ( James showing off his area rep'n...

Some things not right there for a start, Should get too atleast 6,800rpm when upto temp with out a problem

+1 Hopefully the alternator issue has been resolved, would of loved to come & watched today but i was up the other end of the country :(

Have only seen this once, Speedo sensor fault, Have a look over the back of the engine and check to see if you have a speedo sensor coming out of the box, seen a few PH2 172's including mine use the same set-up as the PH1 172/ PH2 Cup for speedo readings Anything listed on the faults? Could...

Good work on the pictures guys :cool: Cracking meet & the run after :approve: JMS brackets & racing cell cage, Matt's car made very impressive power/torque considering its still on standard cams & inlet manifold

Detailing's a strange one, there are a fair amount of people out there that will pay £200-300 for paint correction, problem is that those that know/care about correction would only use an established company due to the risk's involved, Insurance etc Imagine the cost of repairing a Liquid...

Afraid not just yet, Workshop & The new JMS Inlet manifold have been taking up all the hours under the sun, Any up-dates will be here first :)

As above, Unless test were back to back against standard set-up I'm finding it hard to believe. Seems a low reading for Schrick cams, I've seen high 180's low 190's on lightly tuned cars

Hi Guys, Strange to hear of the losses from our kit that your reporting, I assume the before results are not from the same day? When we put the kit together it was tested on Tom's 182 at Torque of the devil back to back against the standard airbox (http://www.torqueofthedevil.com ) It was...

Fair enough mate, I'll explain in more detail when your down :)

More than likely the map, We installed the 4-2-1 manifold on the 172 few weeks back & testing showed its not just a case of bolting on and obtaining the the same hp/torque as the 182

You wouldn't believe how many times i've heard that one.... 60% of the population must have a mechanic that works for Renault at home ;) On the flip side he may be telling the truth.....

Super Glue & your good to go for another year ;)

Sad times, but avoid calling your insurance, would be cheaper just to have the dent pulled if its minor, other wise if a claim goes through you'll have to declare it for 3 years & pay an excess

Very tidy tip, been thinking of something similar but just cant be arsed to spend a morning with the monkeys at powerflow trying to explain what i'm after lol Nice work on the standard back box ;)
