Hi guys, How much engine coolant is needed for a full system change on a 172? i went to renault today to get some type D coolant and they give me a 5 litre bottle, i asked if that was enough and he said yeah it will be fine, but im sure i read on here somewhere that it takes about 10 litres to...

I had the same with Bell a year or so back, i had a non fault accident, someone went into the back of my vxr, when renewal came through it went up from last year and they said it was because im more likely to have an accident, wtf surely thats the other way round, i asked where they got this...

My brothers old cup on ebay, sold it back in 2004 with 50k on the clock, dont know what hes doing will the chavy wheels :S, let me tell you this car had been thrashed to the inch of its life by my brother ;) , probably even thrashed more now, it was one hell of a fast cup though...

Ferodo ds2500 are really good brake pads, you can track them easily and they wont burn out, b - roads will be a doddle to them, and yes there far better them oem renault ones, do a search on here mate, loads of people track with them and they have no problems, they last for a long time to

Pete@auto-nation is by far the cheapest, thats where i ordered my brake setup from, drop him a pm mate

My mate has one on his 182, full yozza with decat, its very loud! even at cruising speeds its unbearable, sounds nice though ;)

Thats pretty good going, normally rs stamaped inlets only see 2-3bhp gains

Yeah thats what you need, remember to torque the plugs up to

Ive got matched inlets from AP developments, very good quality workmanship, iirc jms use ap developments to do there matched inlets

Its held on by 2 nuts, the bolts iirc correctly screw into your bottom inlet, you dont really need it on tbh so you could just leave it off

No probs :D

Parcel shelf? bit of a common fault, rattles and causes little bangs now and again

Tell him i recommended you mate, he keeps pestering me to spread the word so i have lol, you wont go wrong with Petes prices though, best around

Erm cant remember off the top of my head, guarantee the best prices and the best deal is Pete off here, pete@auto-nation.co.uk, give him a pm, best prices i have come across on the net, hes a top bloke and always happy to help

Glad your all sorted mate

Ive just gone for ferodo ds2500 front pads with bremobo hc front, rear renauly discs and ferodo premier rear pads, topped off with HEL braided lines and dot4 fluid :D i chose this setup as it seems its the best all rounder for what ive read on here

You wont break anything dont worry, oh and remember to use the existing jubilee clips from you original airbox on your induction bend, something i almost forgot

Easy peasy to do, just squeeze the CAF's on the end then pull and they just come out, i fitted my jms setup in about 10min and im useless with cars, and the setup it designed not to work with and CAF's, it just gets its intake from the large open vent on the airbox itself, all you need to...

Thats surely cant be a serious car add? :S

It just fits over the injectors, to nuts hold it in place, lots of people just leave it off to be honest

Vid is not the best but can defo here it is whining alot which is not usual, im not to sure what it could be, but the usual whine could be from the cambelt or dephaser, as for the rotten eggs smell that is normally linked with the cat converter possibly failing

From what ive read and opinions of others yozza all the way!

Fred you know to much its ridiculous ;)

Different springs as the cup has a lower ride height than the 172's, if you want to change them i wouldnt personnally put originals back on, go for a set of ebachi prolines, nearly identical to the original but come with 5 year guarantee and cost £150 for a set of 4, geuine renault spring = £100...

Big let down on the seat covers is no elastic to keep them on the seat, one little movement and the seat cover just slides off the seat :(

The 172 cup comes in mondial blue, its not just a 182 which comes in blue, depends what you want, do you want purely for a track car or you going to commute in it to? if its purely track car then defo go for a 172 cup (more of a drivers car,) a 182 will be still very good round a track and you...

Sorry what i ment to put is renault mounts are the cheapest ones to get as i dont think there are any aftermarket ones, i didnt mean to say go to renault to buy them ;)

You could use your old one, you shouldnt damage it when taking off the plenum, just give it a clean when putting it back on so you get a good seal again, if you wanted to change them then there about £11 for a set from renault, this includes top and bottom inlet

Dont think there are any aftermarket mounts, cheapest are renault

Its something you wont be able to do unless you really know what your doing, its a specialist job so leave it to them to take care off
