If the car was fine before than theres a very high chance its what youve fitted thats the issue? Maybe not fitted right? a washer left off etc etc

have you got a project thread mate?

Box issue even on the 197's ?

Budget for well over the cost of a conversion. Something else always ends up going wrong when you mod a car at any level

Translation isnt a problem on the net these days mate ;) - Right click and you might have the option already there without having to download a program or just copy and paste into yahoo translate. One off conversion so cost would be impossible to predict would have thought? Folk who have...

Tonnes of info on the search mate. worth it imo but more so for cat messing

Your supporting jack might be putting pressure on the bolt / nut mate. Lower or raise, see if that helps. You havent got the jack under the gearbox have you? If so it it should be under the engine sump

Not sure how accurate the mag was. Sure someone on here would know the times? Was the guy running slicks? Still a decent time for a stock engine if you think about it especially if its running consistant as you said

You just disconnect the battery to reset the ecu. Maxogens are good due to the enclosed design and the fact they draw the air supply from the coldest part of the engine, infront of the battery. Probably been flow tested too?

I got taken a spin in RS tunings one when it was 270 brake. Kin el it was quick!!

In theory that would only show whats best on a stock unmapped engine. Like any breathing mod, they perform at their best when properly set up

I used to get those official Renault magazines sent though and and in a feature, sure it said ph1 Cup racers were hitting 0-100 in 10 seconds, with only a blueprinted engine and sequential box

Have a search mate. Think unless its the Cup box you could have problems with the speedo sensor. Also the ph2's have different ratios to the ph1

Any fool can go out and buy a quick car but not many can build a quick one

25, bought it new

Something like this lol: Stock 172 pulley is floating, supported by only the bolt. the Megane one is locked in

Probably down to the fact most just bolt the kit on and expect it to be ''good'' Its ok having back to back tests as per the link in this thread but all its going to show is whats the best bolt on kit without mapping. With mapping and your talking a whole different ball game. Its all about...

A maxogen without the casing is just a foam induction kit

Too mucky for them to see hahaha some of the things garages tell folk is unreal like. You should have told him ''well fcuking man up and clean it then'' !!

Believe they have a tendancy to leak from the selector seal but not to the extent of needing to top up litre wise, more just a common trait with these. If theres not bucket loads of oil under the car which there really should be if youve just dumped 2 litres of oil then its probably just been a...

ATS, i bet at any other garage it would pass no problems

IIRC the gearbox holds 3.1 litres so it fairly emptied its self out. Im guessing the underside of your car is caked in gearbox oil ? If the gearbox is working fine now its topped up and its leaking oil then probably just a seal

Stick with 15's as above. ET38 (Cup offset) is ideal. You'll notice the difference in handling straight away. Iv ran ET35 7x15's without rubbing

Buy a helicoil kit. Not too expensive

Go straight for TB's, Supercharger or turbo. Better having a huge gain and something to see for your money than spending 500 here, 300 there etc etc for very little. All or nothing imo

Decat is a nice cheap gain for a 172

Yeah but that rubber seal show is the rocker breather gasket which 182's dont have? your over gasket is between plenum and inlet. You could replace that? Roughly about 8 quid iirc

Not sure where you read that mate. You can certainly loose power with the wrong kit but there are improvements to be made over stock all be it minute Exhausts give you zero gains also unless you spend the thick end of 800 notes

Yeah, although timing up becomes a issue as you cant use the Renault tools.

You cant buy them, dont think you ever could other than the steel ones. They probably ran out when they stopped bolting them to the ph1's hence why the later ones didnt have them. Just for reference, the ''shift light'' was discontinued by Renault early 2001. A circular was issued by Renault...
