Whats the crack with HID kits on non HID factory spec cars?.. I was advised its a mine field due to MOT probs and possibly being pulled over.... I would like a set on my Cup really... But just cant be arsed with pissing around at MOT time.... For starters, cant they only be used on headlight...

Put the dog in the engine bay...

Great glad it sorted you out - very good chap.. soon (could be as soon as a week) i will be selling my 172 cup engine.. I will let you know and if you still need one then im only in stevenage so not too bad for ya.. Otherwise yeh, Matt will sort you out well..

Do you already have the engine? Re: fitting, give this chap a call - lives in St Albans and his business is in Hemel... 07976 555345.. Say Floodie (David with the 172 cup) told you to call.

gotcha!! yeh course i could.. forgot about that... i think im just going to get it insured in my name and say the details are being sent to DVLA as we speak... thats what is done when you purchase a car isnt it anyway...youd never have the V5 in your hand back from DVLA before driving a car...

ah!!!! damn... last thing i want to do is something illegal, christ. Maybe its best to put it in my name then and add it as an additional vehicle to my policy... My problem i guess is Time.. DVLA havent returned the new log book to my otherhalf yet.. Once she gets that i will then need to...

Hi - didn’t know where to put this bit so mod, please move ifs this is wrong.. Ta I will be driving around an old banger, an absolute sh!t heap for a little while because the use of the car I was borrowing needs to be given back… I bought the car and put it in my otherhalfs name. My...

cracking, i'll pass this on... cheers

hi, Someone i know needs ideas on where to place 3 guages (Boost / AFR / Exhaust Temp) into the dash of his 172 cup.... He doesnt want them on the door pillars and someone has suggested the airvents but unsure... Are there any aftermarket Guage surrounds which fit the 172's nicely?.... In...

cheers Fred - its been delivered now so will know soon i guess!!...

Thats ridiculous... typical renault, will keep you updated anyway.. As the cups get older this is going to be more a common question.

Right!, after a weekend of research on this bloody issue im going to order the 172 and NOT the 1.6 dynamique rad from the site above.... My reasoning is this : - Called renault and gave the reg of Ben_P's 172 to get his radiator part number.. it was 7700417175 new OR 7701352903 for an...

Cheers chap - yep i'll give Yoz a call later.. So what did you do about the one where the fan wouldnt fit? modified the brackets?.. One final thing fred, even though my cup has no AC you keep recommending the one six Dynamique ***WITH*** AC - thats correct yeh??

Thats what ive thought - but if that was the case why have a couple of people (with fairly decent reps on here!) suggested a totally different, squatter, 1.6 Dynamique rad... doesnt make sense to me... but surely the likes of fred are right..

Ah that makes sense Dave cheers... the only other difference if that is true is that the "172" one is over 3cms taller than the 1.6 dynamique.... hmm.... (going via the diagrams on the site above)

Cheers Ben will do fella.. ta... Are Water rads on AC equipped cars(yours) exactly the same as Non-AC'd motors(mine)?..

Any update peeps? Here are both rads: This is the 172 2 Litre one : http://www.car-radiators.org.uk/?gclid=CLXz99jY5pECFSXVXgodrjovXg This is the 1.6 16v WITH Aircon one : http://www.car-radiators.org.uk/?gclid=CLXz99jY5pECFSXVXgodrjovXg

!!!! are you totally sure chap? as im ordering it in a sec so i have it for tomorrow!... I was told (and on the site it seems to be the case) that all the 2Litres are the same.. Mine hasnt Air con remember mate...

yeh, they are the same - i just checked with a reno man that i know...thanks again...

Bloody hell! thanks chap... Didnt realise rads were so cheap!.. Was going to go down the 2nd hand route and thought they'd be about £50, but according to the site they are £72!... (http://www.car-radiators.org.uk/?gclid=CLXz99jY5pECFSXVXgodrjovXg)

Ello - As per title really... I've kinda bent a load of the fins on the inside of my 172 cup rad, and proper screwed it!... Need a replacement and just want to know if ALL 172 / 182 radiators are the same - im guessing they are just so it makes my search at the scrappies a bit easier...

+ VAT

how old are you chap? if you like it then great... I bet in 10 years you'll look back and joke about "that clio" you once had... funny how things change, i remember a nova SR i once had with big irmscher kit / thing on it. Saw pics of it recently and jesus, what was i thinking!.... but at the...

Christ!!! Just got home from work and all hell's seemed to have broken loose here!!!! :( Thread-starter-man (cant remember his name now), how are you getting on with your conversion chap?

The thing is, Matt knows his stuff and pretty sure he wouldnt just blatantly lie about things. He even had a print out there to show it so god knows... plus, posted links to show otherwise - the car tuning world is odd sometimes eh....

Andy - hi... it sounds from that as though you arent continuing with the conversion anymore unless ive read it wrong... Mark mentioned earlier up in this thread that you have just had the custom shafts made etc - was there still a problem even after these had been done then?... and, in reply to...

Haha - :) Yep, saw that print off - damn impressive... i'm going to PM u, can you take a look as i'm getting different views on the 34 and its p!ssing me off :).. ta chap

The_one: Yeh mate rash has the IHI kit running 333bhp... there is a huge thread on his woes.. he has had to do 9(yes nine) 10 hr trips back and forth to JBS... not a problem with JBS by the way, its just been a wanker of a car by the sounds of things… and 2bar?!?!?! jesus!! Matt: 440 from a...

Crikey!... thats mad.. personnally i think they really are pushing their luck at 340 on standard, i would sh!t a brick everytime i had a bit of fun and put my foot down... Maybe they are mapped so their boost drops off to 1.2ish higher in the rev range to preserve their engines dunno.... Have...
