I’m glad others think a k20 is the way to go as well! I have no timeline so it could take a year if needed, as long as when I drive it hard it’s reliable when it’s done.
I’m looking for opinions on where to go next with my low boost 182, today it’s done the gearbox again (was rebuilt 2 years 5 track days ago) it’s built with a gripper diff, and I really don’t want to spend another £1k on it, plus the time pulling it out etc
So that leads me to the question...
HANS devices are definitely worth it, I’ve been using one since 2013 and I don’t get in a car on track without one. Slightly annoying to begin with but really not that bad.
I personally haven’t, but I’ve had the same symptoms on one of the many I’ve owned and a pedal fixed it. But I’ve seen plenty where the connector is a bit corroded and causes that issue too. French electrics 😂
Finally MOT’d! Just need to tax and insure then I can start using it.
Also bought some pro race 3s (I think may be 1.3?) as they were cheap and I like them.
Bought this 172 sight unseen off eBay for £500, was told it ran so I picked it up from some dodgy part of London on my trailer. Lo and behold it didn’t run. Turns out the radiator had popped driven with no coolant and semi seized the battery engine. Put another engine in it and sold it for...
I’ve got this fuel pump in mine

Fixed it 🤦♂️ I serviced it the other week took the wheels off etc and the offside front bolt holes look like and felt like they’d been in the sea.
When I’ve rushed to put the wheel on (it startec pissing with rain) the torque wrench has clicked with the resistance of the corrosion and not when...
Hi, needing some advise/help.
The other half has got a Megane 265 and for a while it’s had a weird rotational noise, long story short got it on a ramp and found the bearing support clamp bolt for the offside driveshaft had come loose.
Did that up, noise had gone happy days. But now a couple...
They come with those heated solder joints from Renault.
But for those interested the crank sensor was not the problem. Fitted the new updated one last night and no change at all.
Now all along this process I’ve heard the fuel pump priming so I wrongfully assumed that was all good. Took the...
Did some more searching tonight, on my data logger at rest it’s showing 184rpm, when cranked this went up to 200rpm.
Checked the compression 180psi across all cylinders.
Plugs look good
Fuel pump primes
Immobiliser light goes out as it should
Got a new style sensor coming tomorrow to try and...
