Yeah but there is this problem with any 2nd hand parts. Ill tell him to look out on here for a low mileage replacement.

Cant buy new cv joints from ECP then? He might as well fit a 2nd hand driveshaft in that case.

Following from the other thread in this section I posted. Another problem he seems to have is that the car judders or misfires maybe when trying to pull away at low speeds. For example, I drove it and when you are in 3rd gear at 20mph and you put your foot down the car stutters for 1 or 2...

My mate has bought himself a bit of a rough 172 which has a few problems, nothing serious but none the less needs fixing. When he is turning the car left or right (i think) there is a clicking noise coming from drivers side wheel area. the clicks get quicker with speed so I am assuming it is...

just out of interest, are all engines like this? If not why did renault do it for this engine? Also, what happens if you break your rocker cover, can't buy a replacement from renault?!

no pics of the 200 engine?!

he seems to be adamant that a cat b can be put back on the road?

I changed my rear shocks last week, 10 minutes per side. You must have a mate who is half decent with a socket set? It is literally 1 bolt and 1 nut per side!

terrible advert mate. Get more info up, much more likely to sell for a good price.

How is the car going for you tim? Did you ever get the rev counter and oil pressure wired up?

hmmm, what is a cheap drift car to get a project going?

g40 is supercharged no?

no takers?

would love a cheap drift car!

what engine is that gone in then?

It is a way of saving ti for easy viewing at another time?

Saw you today driving down bath road an turning left at the castle pub. Had a CS sticker in back window.

that looks awesome! What gearbox shafts do you use for this conversion?

Nice, still very cool even if it isnt as quick as it could be. Easy transplant?

this is beyond awesome! I would start a project like this tomorrow if only for the fact that I don't have any workshop space! :( How much has the project cost you so far if you don't mind me asking?

new or old version?

cheers mate. what happens if i do 160mph in my 172 then! ;)

no, but basically on the shock you have 2 washer type things, 1 that sits inside the car under the 16mm retaining nut and 1 that sits under the car directly ontop of the shock (it slides over the sliding bar) well its the 1 underneath. As said I bought a brand new set from renault yesterday so...

I haven't fully read the above fully but im sure you never mentioned checking the injector connections? Am I right? If you have not checked this then go and do so!

ph2 172 alloy centre caps are plastic aren't they?

I never make a trip down west without getting out of my tree on this stuff, I don't think I even like it, just a bit of a tradition.

I have my williams wheels powdercoated last year whihchwas fine as the wheel is all metal with no clip off centre cap. What I am now wondering is, if I wanted to powdercoat a set of ph2 172 wheels how would they do the centre cap? You cant powercoat plastic can you? I am confuzzled :S

I have always wanted a night out in Bristol, heard great things. Shame I am so far away! I am actually off out in Bath next weekend for a uni mates b-day, 1 day I will make it that bit further to brizzle.

How would this work?! Just incase everyone is not understanding me, im talking about the rubber mount that lives on the strut and sits under the car not the rubber mount thing inside the car under the cap. Anyway, the brand new 1's I am picking up have new parts on them.
