powerstation is now located in tewksbury, 10 min from gloucester really, when you going bud? i might come up and say hello as a mate of mine knows the owners of the place

u sure, i know that the 172 box will go on a gtt lump as will a whole range of box's. willy, 16v i opted to use a 1.2 box on my clio turbo many moons ago. so if it works one way can u not fit any of them boxs to a 172 lump?

hasne one tried bike bodys on a 1*2 yet?

ffs? for fcuk sake is that? no need for that was there

its really weird how these engines are, i test drove 2 very low millage 172s and they seemed very quick but the prices on them were crazy, a mate got one traded in at the renault dealership where he works, gave me a ring to have a look, 50k on the clock and the thing was mental compared to the...

dnt you need a ring spaner and a allen key? look down the centre of the center bit. ive never had a problem using this method

id say the fuel filter to be honest, its the most obvious thing. u put crap probably dirty fuel in, could be leaning out when driving to if its that cloged up so id change that asap then go from there

thats crazy man, very quick time sorry to hijack ne1 know how you get around running a decat and having 2x lambda sensors? does it not make the car run funny?

what was done to this car?

terminal speed has a direct relevance to the power the car produces. terminal times can go up and down quite a bit due to traction and such like. have a proper look into it get 2 diff cars with rufley the same power and ull get rufley the same terminal speed one can be rwd and one fwd, the rwd...

the quarter mile time doesnt really prove how much power the car ruffley has, u need to look at the terminal speed. how fast was it crossing the line?

cheers for all the help guys, but ive been wrong all along, when we brought the car 2 years back we were told it was a 16v but 2day while sorting a few probs out i decided to take the rocker cover off and to my suprise there were only 8 valves!!!! im a bit fuming to be honest but i dnt think...

iv had a prob with the tdc lead, renault cleaned it and said it would be fine. it caused the car to cut out or not fire when trying to start, thought that this might be the problem but its defo slower some days than others. does anyone do turbo or charger conversions? as the do for the 16valve...

all ive got is a backbox at the mo. but was wondering if there were any companys that could remap the ecu

neone know of anycompany that offer tuning parts for this car? or anyone run this engine with mods?

what power/torque do these put out? i think there might be a prob with mine as somedays it feels quick and othes really underpowered even getting slaughtered by a standard vtr!!! theres a slight leak from the thermostat housing and theres loads of crap on the crank sensor/tdc lead could this be...

yep that old engine that forever out performs all of its bigger rivals, the turbo setup on them is basic, a turbo and an intercooler and a bit of pipework would be all that extra than whats found on a n/a setup car

its the gtturbo engine mate

it aint that much difference as i did the conversion myself i lifted both engines, u cant really think that 200cc capacity increase weighs much, the fact that its an old style engine with less parts might actually make it lighter. dnt be getting all shirty, it was only an estimate [Edited by...
