X172DBF Any Ideas?? Thanks

well im not an idiot so :rasp: thanks ;)

What kind of hassle are we talking if I was to swap the engine? Im getting prices of over £600 to do the belt, head etc. How much roughly is a 2nd hand engine and do I need to swap ECU, keys etc?? cheers!!

Thanks Birchdown My mate is quite experienced at building engines (not renaults) so I do trust him to give the head a going over.

Cheers guys, Ill wait and see what damage is then. Could go down new engine route but at least if I fix current engine then i'll know that its rock solid(rather than starting all over again with another unknown engine). It was a pretty decent engine before this mishap. Always been serviced...

Timing belt snapped on my Ph1 172 and im really just looking for advice as to what to do next. My mates garage has confirmed its def the belt thats failed and is taking the head off as we speak. Now, Am I best just to get any any bent valves replaced (or whole 16?) and put a Timing belt...

The camber is far more positive compared to what it was. Im not sure how much postive it is because I havent measure it yet. Im not sure what could have been fitted incorrectly? Its only the top mount bolt and the two on bottom that attach the shock to the hub that were removed.

I know its hard to see but the camber is really positive. Is it meant to be like this??

ok, no probs. Another question then if I may. I recently put 4 new shocks and eibach sportlines on my car and the camber is now far more positive than before. Its really noticeable. Is it the case that the old shocks were so far gone and the new ones are nice and tight that it would change...

Quick question, My Ph 1 172 is totally standard. Is there any way of adjusting the camber on the front?? I know you cant do it via the shocks but is the hub its self adjustable?? or the wishbone like a VW?? Cheers!

Nice one cheers! didnt think it would cost too much. The standard systems are just rubbish!

As title and my exhaust is now rattling off the rear beam. Anyone know off the top of their head how much a new rubber mount costs?? Cheers!

VTS's are excellent fun. 16v badges are in the wrong place on that one! Should be much lower down.

Looks awesome!

Was at the pics mate, im a bit old to be up the retail park ! Who did the conversion on your car?? Bet it shifts!;)

I've got a black Ph1. Saw that turbo at the pics on friday night, thought I spied an intercooler!! :cool:

My plate is X172 *** does that count?!:rasp:

Looks nice, saw that in edinburgh a month or so ago.

Looks very clean but persoanlly id change the wheels. Other than that :cool:

ok mate, thanks couldn't get the Asymetric so I eneded up just ordering PE2s from camskill.

Does anyone have any experience of these?? Seemingly they replaced the eagle F1 that is on my car atm. Im really struggling to get tyres and these seem to be the only ones any of the local places have in stock!! Im getting quoted a wait of over a week for PE2s Cheers!!!

Found another Ph1 whilst last minute xmas shopping today!!

Saw this on passion ford. Its a bit expensive is it not?? Other than that, nice motor

Always thought Lupos were ever so slightly girly but I do have to admit that is cracking!
