Checked your inner track rod ball joints?.

Happened to me too, Engine swalled and spat out the foam and i was lucky enough to fish out most of the mesh from the head. So far theres no real damage performance wise so i think i had a very lucky escape. I'm now using an ITG sausage filter with Alu back plate fitted with grommets over the...

I fitted powerflex wishbone bushes to my ph 1 they have lasted 3 events and all have ovalled sleeves (welded in properly before anyone says it) and were wobbling in the subframe causing excessive wishbone movement so they've been binned for standard items and alls good now. Now the dogbone...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Holy s**t have you been shot! Sorry for spamming your thread , my cars only got itb's fitted but as I said in my pm to you I'm not sureon the engines history

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Here's my afr's running on the same "guru" map. whats your guys thoughts??.

as above but.. Then get the aligment/camber checked as it could cause some serious handling issues!.

seek professional help is my advice as you'll f**k up the suspension geometry if you try and set it up without the proper gear. fittng them is a case of removing the top strut bolt fit the camber bolt and then slacken the lower strut bolt, adjust the camber and tighten everything up. the tab...

It is indeed an smi rack fitted to my car and i've now sorted the problem cheers.

Can anyone give me the part numbers for track rods that fit a ph1 172. I have an event this weekend and the local dealer has given me the wrong one and they say that there's no other options for my car. The part I'm looking for is the rod between the steering rack and the track rod end...

oops double post please delete mods!.

I've some serious play coming from my drivers side track rod/steering rack joint so i need to replace the track rod. The one i got from Renault today is the wrong thread at the the rack end, its a course thread and i need a fine threaded rod, It also has TRW stamped on it. Can anyone give me...

Get a catch tank in there as it's the crap that comes out of there you need to worry about too!.

Yeah thats mine

A wee pic for you of your car in Clark Motorpsort, I was in getting my AST top mounts fitted and a suspension realignment done. I see you got your plugs but for reference Dingbro stock them. I'll have to speak to Clarks and see what they did to remove the aircon matrix looks like a bit of...

Got all my bolts from Grampian fasteners in dyce d1cky.

Thats the first thing the Mapping dude said! Not as far as i know, but then i did find out that its had a new engine at some time of its life so the history of it is a bit vague at the minute. 7382rpm for the limit seems a bit high too no?. I'm running a map i bought from Andy at Ktec which...

Re: Scottish Track day 172 PH1 *Hungry Engine & RR Results* Well did my second sprint at the weekend and what a day!. First of all i was late arriving as my alarm was still on Ghana time, Then went to get the car off the trailer to find some tee leaf had stolen a ramp. The cars just back from...

It seems the c**k up was on my end and NOT KTEC, the lower idler pulley is different on the ph1 and ph2 and it looks like my car has had an engine swap or had a ph2 kit fitted at some stage in its life. Hopefully get it sorted tomorrow when i'll have both kits at hand. I'll post pics up so...

I'll be phoning today sean, wasn't having a go just didn't realise there may be 2 different kits.

mmm thought as much, I did specify ph1 172 when ordering but obviously there's been a c**k up!!!.

Just had a call from the mechanic doing my timing belt change, He tells me that the lower idler pulley is wrong and has the wrong bolt hole size (too big). Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem before with this kit?.

Might be a dumb question but what do you use to tighten the studs into the discs?

WIll also affect your gearing a little but not much.

Group N refers to a Motorsport class for production based cars in rallying and racing. Group N is basically a showroom spec car with some minor safety and performance mods to make it more reliable and safer. I run the Ktec mounts and they where a big improvement on standard but as a lot of...

;)

I'm getting mine done next week by a guy who doe's a lot of local rally car work out by Aboyne, He looks after Chris Abels rally 172 and doe's all his engine work. He qouted me "about £100" on the phone for labour as i have all the parts already, he's also changing the waterpump for me. Will...

Waterpump maybe if its high mileage £60+vat from renault for extra piece of mind.

I wish i'd spied that kit before i did my conversion as i'm not happy with the power steering hose setup after fitting the cup setup. Will have to meet up for a wee look at this beast when your kit is fitted.
