There seem to be more and more of these conversions being done now, a guy local to me is also doing one and it is useful to swap information on problems and work-arounds that you encounter. The big difference is we are both putting Turbo'd F7Ps into our Renault 5's :clown:

Did you get that turbo manifold from a guy called Lee Harding?

Check it out guys. Jetta VR6 turbo from Schimmel Performance in the States. One day I WILL put a turbocharged VR6 into my MK2 Golf GTI :evil: :evil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OafCq1izXE

Nice pictures. Minor criticism is that they look quite grainy, what type of camera did you use to take them and what film speed, aperture, shutter speed etc?

It should really be done about now, particularly if you don't know the history of the car. GDI will change the timing and auxillary belt on a cup for about £350. I've used them before and they provide a good service.

Saw a silver 51 plate 172 at the Eaton crossroad junction about 5 minutes ago. Had some quite large multispoke alloys on it and an aftermarket exhaust.

My girlfriend has got a D40. I used it a little when we went to the New Forest recently - good camera imo.

Think I've seen that around, don't think they are on here.

Pheonix: Looks excellent. Where did you get the holder/surround?

What are the suspension specs on that car? Really liking the stance you have got with it.

You can still see the bottom lip of the sills with RS skirts though.

I also need to replace that panel, the part number and a rough price guide would be handy.

I'm insured with Highway through Adrian Flux, so I would also be keen to know of any complaints people are aware of.

Get some Ph1 Turbine alloys on there mate.

Is this the same ECU you tried to sell on here the other day?

When in reverse, as I pull away I am getting a slight knocking which seems to be coming from the engine bay area directly in front of the passenger footwell/glove box. Any ideas what this could be? I'm hoping an engine mount and not my gearbox on its last legs.

7.9 to 60 puts it a good second behind an RS Clio from the off. Over 60 I imagine the Clio would widen the gap even more being higher powered and with more torque. How did they managed to get Civic Type R of that generation so fast? It only had 190hp but got to 60 in about 5.5 seconds didnt it?

Clean pair of underwear required.

Are these worth the money? My standard exhaust is about to fall off, and I'm down on the south coast in a couple of weeks and strongly considering one of these.

There is a Subaru dealership a couple of minutes from me. All the old dears go in there becauses it's 'local' and often come out driving Impreza Turbos etc lol :)

Is that dog real?

When you floor it the nose probably lifts up in the air.

That's what I said, then she hung up.

A couple of years ago (I was about 22-23 at the time) I rang a company to try and insure my MK2 Golf GTI 8v (which is not a quick car btw). I was told "Sorry. We don't think it is sensible to insure people under the age of 30 on sports cars". I tried to explain to her it was a fairly heavy...

Yeah. That's a good price isn't it?

They are £104+VAT btw.

Are these the correct Eibach Sportlines for a 172 Cup? I was searching and thought the price was quite reasonable! Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs Axle Weights: F860kg - R785kg Lowers F45-50mm - R30mm Renault Clio B 1.4, 1.6, 2.0, 1.5 dCi, 1.9D, 1.9 dTi Year: 09.98 -

Drill a hole in the tank. Hang on, is it your car?

lol

Try watching some videos of the PC being used by Pros, there are a few on the net. It will give you an idea of the speed/techniques involved.
