I need a pair of front ABS sensors for a 2002 Ph2 172. There seems to be a cataloguing issue and loads of places list the wrong ones. Has anyone managed to order some for sensible money and got the correct fitment? If so what brand and from where please? Thanks!

So I'm probably looking at a grand to £1200 ish I suspect. System will be similar to this:

All the cars I've had previously had good off the shelf options both new and used, but I need something which won't be possible without going custom (dual 3" with an xpipe and cats under the floor on a V8). Custom exhausts aren't particularly common in the UK, has anyone had work done and what...

Who/where is giving the best prices for cats at the moment?

Jaguars premium sound package had an amp and a 6x9 driver in the rear shelf which would be an easyish retrofit, but it's off centre and I can't bring myself to do it :ROFLMAO: Speakers of the right spec are also very limited. I'll see what I can find room for, ideally something like a...

Sounds very similar indeed. Mine will be a little more simple I think. The stock headunit is a sculpted thing and single DIN conversions look awful, so it will stay. It's an alpine tape deck with a CD changer, so the idea is to hack a bluetooth receiver over the tape deck input which is pretty...

Yeah I was looking at that, I'd been looking at the Vibe version when I was looking at their speakers https://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/car-amps-and-subs/vibe-optisound-micro-4-channel-amp-703292.html Some of these small form factor amps are pretty impressive, especially when you...

Did you both drive them from an amp, or the headunit? I'm going to connect them to the headunit for now (main driver for buying them is I'm changing the doorcards and want to finish the doors in one go) but I suspect I may go for a micro amp later.

Ahhh spec creep https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/focal-165-as-2-way-6-5-component-car-speakers-with-sound-proofing-deadening-material-sheet.html?tracking=603523b56dc69&gclid=CjwKCAjwn6GGBhADEiwAruUcKqeTOEVSCW14HqkiWwoApg-c43IMNMJQpOYLPS88NbTLnHt8mCd1ABoCvJsQAvD_BwE Free post and some sound...

Non clio question, I'd like to upgrade the speakers in my Jag XJ8. They come with a 6.5 mid in the lower door and a ~40mm tweeter by the doorhandle. I've looked at Alpine type E which I've used in the past but the tweeters are 25mm. A friend recommended looking at Vibe, but their slick 6 6.5"...

I guess then as @Rob G suggests, what stops you turning the whole rod? Otherwise I'd be inclined to agree, if the crank is known to be good then the next thing would be measuring the inside of the rod for roundness. Nothings ever easy and it sounds like you've got a good handle on it

Have you confirmed that this cap is reversed by design in all of these engines? Have you plastigauged the clearances to confirm this bearing is tighter than the others? You've checked some old shells which eliminates a faulty new shell I guess. Positive the cap is the original one? If the...

Think of it as a ring, and imagine the material expanding axially to become longer, rather than radially to become wider or of larger cross section.

Of course it is, I'd completely overlooked that when thinking what still needed bolts! Cheers all!

Will measure in the morning but M10*40 ish at a guess

I've had the gearbox out of my 172 and I'm part way through refitting it all and have these bolts I can't place. Hopefully someone recognises them! Thanks

Thing with the clio modifying world is that the bits people modify generally are not typical of the modified car scene. No ones pulling off cup suspension and installing cheap coilovers, in fact most people fit OE cup dampers with mild springs (Grams/cooksport/eibach) unless they're seriously...

Wheels look good, but it needs to be about a foot lower

F1s look more OEM, as does the silver finish so they get my vote! Looking really good as it comes together!

It's quite neatly packaged really!

I need to order sealant to reseal the rear main bearing cap. Due to the arrangement, I want a proper cartridge that goes in a gun, as opposed to a toothpaste tube. Renault want £50 for it with no info of what it is. Can anyone advise if it's normal RTV or something more specialised?

Very cool car and great to see someone actually doing something with one. FFS at that tyre though :ROFLMAO:

When's the engine swap happening?

Interesting, I didnt realise there were different types for different purposes. @banhama that manifold is lovely!

I'm looking for some help from the collective experience of CS! 172 Cup parts (I think) fall into three categories: Parts which are the same as a Ph2 172 (for example the sideskirts) Parts which are the same as a base model clio (windscreen) Parts which were bespoke to the cup (alternator...

Cheers gents!

How does one figure out the codes? Are they chassis number codes, or build codes on the car somewhere?

Is there a source of the renault parts catalogue covering up to 2003? Looking at doing some tedious cross referencing, so really need access myself rather than someone who's happy to look up the occasional part. Cheers

What was the difference in the seat weights @MarkCup ?

Excellent, exactly what I needed. Thanks gents!
