Hey ya @Daniel it's going good mate, really enjoying it. surprised on the fuel economy, only used 1/4 tank getting back to Portsmouth from yours, been driving around this week seeing people and commuting to work and I'm at half a tank now, impressed. Getting used to the clutch haha. And I...

Saw you guys around 2ish heading home in my Monaco 172, had to go slow to wait for the wife in her Aygo!!

Evening all, As per title, I picked up my Clio today! Its been a long time coming as I was messed around by a couple of people and was loosing hope of finding one that I wanted, I popped up a thread asking about dephasers and it progressed into talking about not being able to find one when a PM...

They'll still catch on something i reckon!! could you not have used a sleeve rather than those clamps to secure the exhaust??

Ive just read read this from the start.. wow what a journey!! truly terrifying the people that offer their "expertise" to people. Hats off to you for your patience and persistance sir. I truly hope you enjoy it when its all done.

I'd go for Kakimoto over HKS mate, Most if not all HKS exhausts are mild steel, so depending on how long you plan to keep it, it may go rusty, they also sit quite low. I had a Kakimoto hyper Full mega N1 (genuinely what its called) on My Integra Type-R and it was a piece of art.

I had this beast for a few weeks while i waiting for my Celica GT-Four to get registered. Yeah baby 4x4 rally Subaru, Switchable 4wheel drive from a switch on top of the gearstick. Did fantastic donuts.. on a wet field!!

I wouldn't worry too much about the BOV blank and the life of the turbo, that chatter you hear is the air rushing back towards the turbo and its called turbo stall and from what I've read in the past it wont shorten the life of the turbo massively although its not ideal i agree. Nearly everyone...

I know the right car is out there, I Guess I'm just looking for the best in all of them as I'm getting impatient!! Thanks for the replies chaps. Dave.

Thanks mate, confirms what I was thinking. Just don't seem to be many around that tick all the right boxes and aren't in bloomin Yorkshire or Scotland!! Getting annoying. Haha.

I'm not sure mate.. Unsure of what to do to be honest, he wants £1700 for an 88k part history car with a rattly dephaser. And he's pretty firm on the price. May leave it.

Evening all, In talks with a guy about a possible purchase of his car and I've asked about the dephaser and he said it's "slightly noisy when warm" but it's got no worse in the 3 years he's owned it. Belts we're done with genuine parts 10k ago. Is it likely to get worse quickly? Do they get...

Wow.... Thats a biggie!!

I agree with the others, Sounds ignition related for sure.. New fuel then whip the plugs out and clean them up. go out and clear its throat!!

Awesome, cheers for the replys Dave.

Morning chaps, Quick question, Do the 172 Cups have isofix mounting points like the regular 172's ?? Cheers, Dave

I couldn't convince you to get a jap car so one of us had to give in!! Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Dave.

Morning all, Thought I'd check the place out as I'll soon be in the market for a 172/182 .. I've always like the Renault sport range even after working for Renault for 5 years, I'm after a good B road blaster after having quite a lot of high spec Japanese machinery over the years, so that's a...
