Just done a f4r conversion on my 1.2 I'm going to get a 182 Mani decat and have a ktec 182 look back box, Im going to heat wrap the whole manifold and thought about wrapping the whole exhaust up to the back box, is this worth while or just a waste of money lol?
Il be getting a carbon induction...
they fit perfectly! will need new handbrake cables tho and the abs rings are different so will bring theabs light on, but you may be able to change them if you can get some abs rings :)
thinkin of changing the bushes in the bottom arms and ARB on a clio 172, itl be used as a everyday car and minor track days, anybody no how the affect the comfort of the ride on a day to day basis? will also be changing the rear gearbox mount,
dont want to change the engine mounts as i think...
locked the crank and the rear of the cams and with the belt still on slackend the dephaser, the crank pulley mark was were it should be marked the exhaust pulley up took tension of took belt of put new depasher on with the mark in the same place then put our own marks on it, put belt on and...
did it today, didnt have a laser tool it was a better one, held really well didnt move at all, didnt have the pulley tool but got on alright without it, turned it over by hand and all the markings were fine. its quite easy when its not in the car lol
if you havnt tinted a window before you wont be able to get the boot lid window perfect first time, but the side windows are easy enough if you have time and patience
Half way through doing an engine conversion on a 1.2 track car, puttin a F4R in it
got the engine out, just dropped it all down on the subframe, pretty easy tbh,
while its out im going to do the belts and clutch, done the clutch so far, but the belt all i have is Autodata, my mates lending me...
iv just removed my engine and about to change the cambelt while the engine is out, on autodata to get the instructions and says f4r 730, 732 and 736. i have the 736 but its the only one that autodata doesnt have any time belt guides, is the timing diffrent from the 732 and 736?
On the drivers Side driveshaft on the ph2 , I think it's the gaiter nearest the gearbox has split, can the gaiter be replaced or is it a new driveshaft job?
thought to go with the polished wheels id polish the inlet up
will start the engine engine conversion tmro hopefully, if the redtop conversion in the background goes to plan
got the rear bumper finished, just need to cut the 182 holes and colourbuild primer it
had an idea earlier, im going to smooth the roof to the rear wings and have the whole car the same colour
might start engine conversion tmro
