Cheers, the threads on the nut are shot (not on the shaft though) .. obviously not the 1st time it’s been off. Is it available to order?

Hi, Can seem to find an answer to this ... My Clio 182 gearbox, drivers side out pit has a seal and behind the seal is a 50mm nut with a collapsable shoulder and a shim holding in a taper roller bearing. I’ve tried reusing the nut - but keeps working loose. Can anyone tell me the part number...

Right. Sincere thanks to all who contributed and for the solid advise you’ve given. Looks like I will be adding my 197 cams and group N timing tool to that overloaded shelf of surplus parts in my garage.🙄

That’s kinda the bit I don’t understand. ED used to offer a turbo kit for the 197/200 before everyone started going the meglio route. So, why won’t it work in a 172 block?🤷‍♂️

Yep, that’s what ED said...I was just wondering if anyone else had a different slant on it

I was going to buy the ED 280 kit , but apparently the piggyback ecu has been discontinued. So ED offered a modded 230 kit modded for lower compression which would yoeld. 260. Really, I’d like 280.

My 172 engine rebuild as follows: Forged 9.5 or 8.5 - 1 pistons and rods(depending on availability) lightened flywheel, paddle clutch, ported head and inlet. ED turbo kit PMS race exhaust - no cat. ....and here is my question. I’ve bought 197 cams and a gpN 8degree advance timing tool...

Yes, I’m a tube ? ... a Freudian slip. Yes R26r

Can anyone answer definitively if the r27r clutch is different to that of a regular r26? Would anyone know the part number? Not getting much help from our local Renault dealer. Would anyone recommend a particular upgraded item? In the interests of keeping the thread short and to the point- I...

You win Ok, you win buddy!

Also very interested... my track car running 15” oz superleggaras with studs so would love to hear / read more.

Up until this evening ... I didn’t even know recombobulate was a real word ?

I’m bang on the border, north of DUNDALK and south of NEWRY

...Ignoramus even ?

okay, I’m going to put my hands up and acknowledge that I am an ignominious. What is clip please?

As the title suggests... Rebuilding my trackday 172 from the ground up and ripping out a fair bit as I go along. My question is (if I intend using the standard Renault ECU).. is it possible to remap it to remove those annoying airbag, traction, seatbelt, emissions, etc..... warning lights offa...

Thanks everyone for your input. Seems like there is no cheap option available. Will just have to continue to remove unnecessary and replace dud circuits as I go along. Thanks again

You make a good point ....but I could buy a lot of contact cleaner and change a lot of fuses and relays for that grand?

Define s**t...... I remember reading here on the forum of a company and looms is all they do. Standard, motorsort, s**t hot motorsports ..and there price for a Clio engine loom was alright. Just can’t find the post or remember their damn name!!! Cheers for that, I’ll give em a look. Still very...

Can anyone recommend someone to build me a new loom to replace the crusty one in my 172 track car which is undergoing a full on rebuild and I don’t want the electrics to be the weakest link. Thanks,

Hi, could you do me a loom for my 172?How much would it cost and would you need the original as a pattern? Thanks, B

Hi, Couldn’t find a definitive answer to this. Before I waste more money....Does anybody rate these eBay renault cam locking tools that seem to be very cheap (£20-35)? I mean how inaccurate can they be vs a well used genuine renault supplied item? Thanks,

Hi all, can’t find info on this.. I seem to remember that ktec or PMS used to make a headlight duct that you cut into the existing headlight (not the one in the form of a headlight blank with the rectangular hole in it). Does anyone know is this still available from anywhere? Really, don’t...

Hi folks, I’ve a set of mint front and rear seats from my low mileage 2012 rs200 track car. I’ve also just bought a 2017 mk4 1.2 Dynamique Nav for nippin down the shops etc. It’s a nice looking wee car and I’m wondering if the sport front and rear seats are a straight fit? Also, planning on...

Cheers, I’m just wondering if the profile on the inside of the rim has that flat spot in the area of the valve hole to accommodate the tpms sensor?

Hi all, Briefly, does anyone know (for definite) if you can fit tpms sensors to the above older rims? Thanks,

Hi, I see on flea-bay that there are these Russian made Dacia LSD’s for sale at humble money which they say will fit a 1*2. Has anybody any experience with them? Anybody running them in there cars presently? Don’t fancy blowing the sort of money of a Quaife. Would really appreciate advise from...
