Anyone know if Renault sell it in 1ltr containers?

Going to get me some polycarb windows from acwmotorsport but just wanted to see if anyone thought the anti-abrasive coating at £60 for the fronts was worth it or not?

Anyone know the spec of the standard rear springs for height and lb's? I want to get lower springs with the same or slightly higher lb's. Cheers

What actually drives the crank sprocket for the chain of the oil pump? Is it keyed from the crank, compression when the crank pulley is tightened or something else?

Got the engine back in and all connected up and primed the turbo feed and oil cooler and lines. I disconnected the coil pack and fuel pump and removed the spark plugs so the was no compression. After cranking the thing 6 times for 20 secs each time there is still no oil flow to the turbo...

Was just about to fit the clutch again and notices where the clutch and pressure plate are in contact it is only touching about 30% of the friction area. Is this normal or is something wrong with it? Wear is even across the flywheel side of the clutch. Cheers

Are all Engine assembly lubes just as good as each other or are there any recommendations?

Anyone know where you can get different oil fittings for Mocal Laminova oil coolers. Got some AN10 fittings today for mine and they are too small. Think the cooler must have AN12 ports. Cheers

I have heard of both key'd and non key'd pulleys but when I took mine off today it was key'd. Am I right in saying this would prevent the cam belt procedure being fully followed as you can't rotate the belt with all the pulleys slackened off and is this really required? I ended up...

Do you need to replace the cam pulley nuts and bolts and the tensioner after slackening them and removing the timing belt? I need to replace the timing side crank seal and reset the timing and so the inlet and exhaust pulleys will be slackened along with the tensioner and it says in the manual...

I'm thinking on where the best place to put oil pressure and temperature sensors and think a sandwich plate would be best. I'm thinking of something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400309704187?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The only thing that puts me off is that...

Can anyone tell me what engine sensor differences there are on a clio 1*2 and a megane 225 engine? I see there are extra cable on my 172 loom than sensors on the 225 engine.

I'd ordered an Odyssey extreme racing 25 battery and the supplier is saying they are on back order with Odyssey and they're not sure when they'll get stock in yet. They have offered me the equivalent Varley battery at the same price. I was told it is a red flash 25 which I can't find any...

Anyone know the cheapest place to get one of these bad boys? Cheers

Anyone know the thread on Clio brake lines including the master cylinder? Cheers

I would be very grateful if anyone could post some pics up of their fuel rail setups and even better if there is a fpr involved and a return pipe to the tank. Thanks in advance!

Anyone know the torque setting for the gearbox to block bolts/nuts? Cheers

Looking at getting another set of tyres for some wheels that are to get me to and from the track so road legal, but also used on track for wet track days as these are frequent at knockhill. I use A048's for dry to damp days so these are just for the really wet ones. Any recommendations? I...

Friend of mine is selling one if anyone is interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-172-182-F4R-Blue-Crank-Sensor-/250974602244?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a6f408404 Cheers

Do Clio 172/182's use the same HT leads as megane 225's? Cheers

I'm in the middle of stripping down my engine bay for an engine swap and noticed when I turn the alternator by hand it sounds a bit rough. Very little play but doesn't sound smooth. I think the bearings need changed and thought I would be as well doing this when it was all stripped. Anyone know...

Is there any difference to the physical dimensions to a Clio 172 fuel rail and injector to a megane 225 fuel rail and injector. Mostly referring to pitch between injectors and how the injector connects to the rail. Cheers

Went to a rolling road session today but never actually managed to get the car on the rollers. I had to drive about 40 miles and the car was running fine. On the way I filled up with £20 of tesco 99 as I was sitting about 1/4 tank. Parked up when I got there and waited my turn. It took about an...

After fitting a Decat the usual warning light came on the dash. Can anyone tell me if you are actually losing power due to the ecu thinking the cat is Fu*ked and so adjusting the fueling or timing or is it only telling you as a warning? Got a rolling road session next weekend and can't...

Anyone know if these are any good for a turbo 172 for boost control and would it even work with an OE ecu? Cheers

Got a new engine that needs run in and want to check before fu*king it up. It's a turbo setup so low comp pistons and different manifolds and injectors to standard. I have an adaptronic ecu to use when the full map is done but for running in purposes would it be possible to use my original 172...

Looking to get my flywheel lightened and balanced but going to a good machine shop I use in work. Just so that I know what to tell them, where is the best place to remove material from and where should it be left on. Anyone got pics of a before and after lightening? Cheers

Need an intercooler for my turbo set up and looking to get to around 280bhp. What size of inlets would be suited to this power level? Would 2" be enough or would this be too restrictive? The intercooler I'm looking at is from an focus st.

Anyone know if a V6 airbox is worthwhile on a turbo setup? I always see open induction kits but would this not be better than an open IK with a cold air feed from somewhere?

SIDC track day at knockhill on the 17th of September from 9am till 1pm. Price is £125 if anyone fancy's it and is open to all makes and models. Would be good to see some more clios there.
