    172 an i think F Ren

    Well, the engines they use in the series area sealed so there aint much they could do engine wise, since they arent allowed to touch them. And basically its the same engine, bar some management, induction and exhaust mods. 190bhp in the Formula Renaults iirc.

    Car very low - trolley jack help please!

    racing jack? Racing jacks are speed lifts or single plane flat lifts with no hydraulics for sub 600kg cars. Just get a low seat height Jack. You can get low seat 3 ton clarke jacks from Machine Mart and they will go under just about anything.

    cams are in! car feels slower

    Pardon? When you fit a new cam you have to run it in for about 15 mins to work harden the surface and prevent excessive nose loading which can ruin the cam. SO you run it at about 2500rpm for 15 mins.

    ss exhausts why

    50mm And its not illegal, and not harful (apart from peoples hearing) to have no silencers at all. And its loud...but not as loud as many think. Fruity is the word

    Need help fitting new brake disks

    They ALWAYS break...you have to drill them out and forget about replacing the screws, they are just for locating, nothing structural.

    cams are in! car feels slower

    Who did it? Really shouldnt time the cams into std, thats the main reason we call it cam timing, because its specific. If its leaking from the pulyl area they probably pushed the cam seals all the way in till they stopped rather than keeping them flush with the carrier face and keeping a...

    V6 Supercharged

    THe people who decide to do throttle bodies then dont consider those most basic of considerations shouldnt be doing it. The V6 conversion would have 6 SF type bodies with a custom manifold and sufficient length, which wold also be tested and altered (via diff length trumpets) on the dyno to...

    yes, but its noisy and hot. Under the engine cover the bay is exposed to the road.

    valver headwork

    If your looking for 200bhp the target isnt hard to acheive, its simple about ever increasing costs to get that extra bhp. Sadly its the way it goes and no tuner is able to get round it. If you want to run 200bhp on the 1.8 (the std valve sizes you would peak at aboue 230bhp) then your really...

    ss exhausts why

    Depends who you go to really. Its cheaper and easier to work with.

    Bearing/Grinding noise from back of 172

    Probably a bearing just starting to go. Since above 50 and around 80 there are massive loads on it.

    Strut braces v’s speed bumps

    A strut brace again doesnt remove any movement. It reduces flex, and flex you cannot feel. Its all about reducing flex to the degree.....it wont reduce roll. And its not dangerous on bumpy roads.

    V6 Supercharged

    Cost i cannot comment on at the moment. And were doing a fair amount more than the trophy racers yea, they only have a twin plenham setup, diff cams and springs. And the exhaust etc etc.

    Strut braces v’s speed bumps

    ON std road cars, depending on he shell rigidity, not alot....road tyres dont create the forces that really warrent one. But they do help a tad.

    16v rear bearing HELP!!!

    Buy a gen ren bearing for about 40 quid, take your hub off, take it to either ren themselves or a specialist and get them to press it in for about 20 quid. Then re assemble it and get your tracking done again.
