:cry::cry: ooooooh you b**ch! Mother always said you didn't really love me...

This. Unless you have balls like two edams, I'd run the most grip on the rear. ;)

Ah, did they! I thought he said they only did the itb's, ecu and map. If they did, it's probably good news to be honest.

Doesn't sound like they touched the cams Fred. I thought the same. It doesn't sound good though!

They aren't coilovers at the rear, but very few are. I found them to be very bouncy, as if the ratio between compression and rebound was wrong. for the money or slightly more, there is much better.

Seriously, agree a time limit with them, and get it in writing! It may sound ott now, but it could save you a LOT of pissing about later.

If you need a second opinion on it, these guys are in Kemble. http://www.neilgarner.co.uk/ Very good indeed!

definately this! I think you may be about to have a few problems! I would put in writing everything I wasn't happy with and decide on a time scale for them to rectify matters. They have had your car a long time already!

I think the renault ecu controls quite a bit more than just the engine though.

Ditto.

Hmmm. I was going to suggest the classic timing, but shouldn't be that. Did they give a reason for taking the old ecu?

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 maybe you could fasten the ignition to the accelerator pedal, you won't be using it anymore?

what work have they done exactly. itb's, ecu and map?

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 just turning it on and off quickly to control speed?

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Aren't there supposed to be butterflys or something on those? :p

Would using a larger bumpstop not just reduce suspension travel?

the other way round I believe. as I remember it, the 172 has slightly different geometry and a wider track. the coilovers is a very valid point too, there isn't much for the 182 off the shelf

For a pure trackday car? I'd say 172 cup, the weight does make a difference to the way it feels, and you have no abs so can claim to be a hero. :cool:

Looks great I think! It's subtle enough to not notice first time round.

I wasn't too far off. :o

If you are very low, the issue is not just camber and castor, there are a whole host of different factors that will have quite a large effect. Is the damping adjustable on these, I've never heard of them?

From memory the clio centre bore is 60.2 mm, but don't quote me on that! It is possible to have the centres machined, but can be expensive. If you know someone with the correct machines you might be able to get it done cheap though as it's pretty simple.

Alright fella, I couldn't find the thread from yours, but that's probably because i was searching for callum... Doh! Anyway, engine in yet? :cool:

Did he? Ah b****cks, was worth a go i suppose..

I'm not too sure either to be honest, but I'd guess it's on the gearbox? Possibly the sensor at the back If you sign up to AA or similar you should be able to get them straight out.

There is a way to get power into the central locking. Possibly through the reversing sensor or handbrake sensor. I've seen burp post about it I'm sure, and there was a thread a while ago where Callum had the same problem with a cup he's rebuilding.

you might like the braid wheels too then. http://www.braid.es/wheels/products/competition-wheels_p8/llantas-monoblock-racing_p22.html

I paid £470 delivered for a set of palmersports direct from speedline. That was about two years ago, so the prices may have changed now, but it must be worth calling them still.

the crank bit gives it away i suppose :o i'm not very alert at the moment.....

vvt removal maybe?
