I will change the belt and de-phaser at some point, got the lot sat in the garage

His has just had timing belt done, mine not so sure, I have a feeling it's been done, probably badly as there is a pen mark on the de phaser, pointless as its a floating pulley

Hey guys, wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, my mate has a 172 cup same as I do stripped out all track prepped but his is so much quicker than mine in a straight, his flys through the revs where mine takes quite awhile to rev He can do 40-100 in under 8 seconds it takes...

Thanks for that :)

Thanks for the info, Whats the optimal oil temperature for a clio?

I'll fill it with oil and see how much it takes, don't see It taking much more than 0.8l

My oil Is reaching stupid temps on track, stopping me from doing longer than 20 min sessions, I need something to cool It down, could buy a mocal but everyone uses them I hate following a crowd. might be overkill but if it didn't cost me nothing and I can make It work, might as well

but wont the thermostat allow the oil to reach say 100 then open to allow it to flow through the cooler then shut of once it reaches bellow desired temp for the stat

Anyone know what Temp Thermostat I want?

Ahh okay, ill look into buying 1, just trying to find if there is anywhere else to get hoses made up.

It's abit of a beast, 570mm long slightly smaller than the cooler Demon tweets sell for £200! When you say thermo plate, you think without running 1 that cooler will keep the oil bellow operating temp?

Got it fitted

As I hate things going to waste I got given a brand new oil cooler that was going in the bin from a lorry Having not seen the mocal cooler im unsure if this will be to restrictive for 10w-50 might be I fit a thermostat to allow the oil to thin before passing through. I'll get hoses made by...

B***** sorry miss read the post, my bad!

Go to GSF i spent a good few weeks trying to find the correct 335mm length rods for a Cup 172 same as 182 FF, ECP couldn't get anywhere near close to the length i required. Ring them and ask them to cross reference Renault part number 7701473656 and that should come back as a Firstline part...

Interested in this, mine decided to blow the adjuster out the top and fill my boot with oil

Thanks Adam, I do like the type RA but sorry to admit I never liked the bug still hasn't grown on me after all these years! I would love a S204 or 22B but I'm currently looking at a Lichfield Type 20 as I fancy a hatch with a 2.0l rather than the 2.5 And the fact they are perfect as they are...

I dont think a day has gone past in the last 14 months that i haven't regretted selling it :weary: i would buy another but i know i wont find another that has been so looked after, immaculate inside and out and built up to the spec i built that for track £1000's Found some of my WRX-S good...

Only just seen this thread, I no longer own this but I'm sure you can all appreciate it! By far the best car I've ever owned loved it to bits! but due to changing job not getting used etc etc i got made an offer by a french collector which i couldn't turn down so its now on display in France...

Same sparkling graphite as yours

Nice motor, I went for the D over the I due to the fact I had just jumped out off a 8mpg Scooby so wanted to see some improvement, having the D remapped has made the biggest gain i've felt in a car from a simple map! 284bhp to 350hp then take the DPF off and have the map tweaked again its not up...

Hi Guys wondering if anybody can tell me if my rack has had it, Jacked the car up to check it over after fitting new inner/outer tie rods, driveshafts, brakes lines last week once the car was in the air i noticed when turning the wheels there a clunk, never noticed it before cant be heard while...

Hi guys, looking for some advice! Is it possible to replace the rubber boot on the Hub side of the Passenger side drive shaft on my 172 cup! Its had a small split in for awhile that I glued up to prevent grease loss I now want to replace the boot, as there is nothing wrong with the shaft no...

Wondering if anybody is able to tell me what size thread is used for the rear compensator, went to order my custom length brake hose to replace the whole rear set up but noticed that there is 2 different size union used!!! damn french, seems one is a M10 x 1.00 but the other is larger measures...
