Check the alternator belt tensioner as well. (not cheap)

yeah make sure it has history, if its been recond then it should have a new cambelt as there not expensive.

Renault kit includes tensioner belt and idler £80ish for the kit, dont skimp on these the renault ones are very good quality.

Either single 3.5 or twin 3 inch. both slash cut.

Yes! lol.

I ve heard something about this through my mate as his dad is very high up in the F1 team.

Damm it Ben when are you gona start the monthly payment plan, with 0% interest!!!!;)

They sell the green tubing at halfords.

Yeah pannel filter with 70mm air feed from the airbox to the foglight/gap next to it. Decat pipe, and make sure it has a good service i.e pluggs, fuel filter, dizzy cap rotor arm, leads, oil and filter. Once thats done then maybe a cat back exhaust. Hillpower do chips for 150 which you might...

As above standard airbox, with panel filter. And a 70mm air feed from the air box to the fog light or hole next to it.

Whys that Jay?

Get the pbv set up on the rr, cost me £65 from Northampton motorsport. Then when you get the money unichip it.

I am using 70mm pipe on mine, think the standard is 50-60mm? on the standard airbox the pipe that attaches to the box reduces from 70- 60mm I think so best to run a pipe all the way.

Yes as the standard pipe reduces, the hillpower one flows better, (and looks alot better), comes in different colours as well. About £45 I think.

Get a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel line. Standard pressure from the factory is 3bar, my pbv is set up on the rr at just over 3.5bar.

Umm not sure on drilling holes in it, may be ok if a few are drilled in places away from any major heat sources(like towards the front grill and battery, which may or may not help with throttle response??). Best bet though is just to run a 70mm tube from the airbox to the front fog and stick a...

Not insulating it, just using a thin film of aluminium tape to reflect heat, as we all no black is the worst colour for heat absorption.

LOL can i join? just got the standard phase I wheels and air box back on.

Paul is that head off your 19? did you say it was recond? and how much you looking for it?

Not to bad just like any other older car.

I am half way through doing it to my 16v airbox. using ally tape from hallfords. Should hopefully help to keep the intake temps down.

172 is a better engine, due to its a newer design, revs higher and produces more power and torque.

Putting the airbox back on with a new filter will probably give it more power. Just a nice pipe from the airbox to a good air supply.

Cambelt, idler and tensioner Alternator belt (check the tensioner as well) Water pump (only ~ £25) Coolant

big no no.

:cry:

:DGlad your happy with it mate. And yeah every car i was going past on the m1 seemed to look round. lol

Not sure about the new clios but on the older ones there on the drivers side of the car just infront of the rear wheel next to the fuel tank.

I ve test driven the MG Zr 160 and to be honest it felt about as quick as my valver. Interior is pants, and the build quality is not one of its strong points either. I think they look alright but a bit dated. Would much rather have a 172 anyday of the week.
