Snap mate! I'm also doing a flamer project. I've always loved the colour and it harks back to my Naples Red 1.8 16v, my first ever car. This is my 4th Renaultsport, 5th clio and 6th Renault. I think yours sounds like it's in a better state than mine was, it's a whole lot tidier and running...

Yeah I've noticed that now, I'm definitely in the second-hand market at those prices and to be honest I think my priority has to be belts etc now

I may be interested in this if the OP doesn't take it

I remember mine more for freezing to my hand on frosty mornings but it was a nicer feel

On my list to replace is my shabby copy part exhaust, I'm open to ideas so stealth or cut bumper are both options as are full system or just back box. I want something to improve the sound, maybe a bit lairy but not silly loud and if visible a neat rolled tip maybe 2.5-3" sitting flushish with...

In what way it the complete ph1 stick different to the ph2? Is it a different length of throw?

Yesterday I refitted my dash top and interior sticky plastics after removing the vile sticky stuff and treating with Auto Finesse Revive, I also replaced my lacquer peeled drivers door handle. Today I picked up a set of pretty curbed 172 alloys with two near new Rainsports and two jinyu budgets...

I want to replace my manky 172 gear knob and gaitor for a ph1 or ph1 style. I was thinking the Richbrook alloy one would be the simplest option, has anyone else fitted one or recommend doing the complete ph1 mechanism

Also interested to find a closer specialist, Herefordshire so not far from Pembrokeshire. I have been told there is a good bloke called Jamie at the Ford garage in Llandrindod wells

Is this really still being discussed

10k for a car you wouldn't want to put miles on to preserve it's 18k miles ! It's simply not an investment at that price

I'm tempted to do the debadge thing on my Flamer but can't decide

Williams and valver bonnets are so cool, I'd have another in the blink of an eye

Isn't that area double skinned?

I do as of today and appreciate it's not a good idea but the problem was there beforehand. As soon as I get paid I'll be doing the same on the rear. I'll swap them over tomorrow and check over the track rod ends etc.

One other thing but not my top priority right now is that the rear isn't sitting as low as I'd expected on cup shocks and Grams springs.

Ok so now I have to admit that the place that fitted the Rainsports on the back(195s) checked the tracking but on an old school system so no print out but it was bang on straight ahead. Tyres on the front are budgets and 205s, front to back swap may be an idea?

My 172 pulls and tramlines badly but as I was going to replace the shocks springs and top mounts I decided to sort it afterwards replacing it all. Today I've been to have 2 rainsport 3s put on the back and check the front tracking hoping it was going to be way out but it was dead straight. I...

I can't talk, I bought a scruffy low mileage Flamer for £1400 so they are probably hoping for an idiot like me to come along

I think I paid about £600 to get my 182 done last year

What sort of silly top speed?

Hmm, I'm not sure it'll be worth the stress and sourcing the renault timing tools as much as I'd like to

Id like to think i am, assuming its timed correctly now is it really just a case of using the renault tools to lock off the cams etc. If it happened not to be timed correctly currently does that make it a harder job?

I do most things on my cars and bike, my 172 is due its belts and pulleys change which I've never attempted before on ant car to be honest, would I be stupid to even entertain the idea?

Was there possibly someone parked behind them when they parked there? I wouldn't say that's classic drunk parking, looks more like they are one of my fellow Herefordians. They left just enough room to get out although it would pi$$ me off too.

New cup shocks, Grams springs and Febi top mounts to replace what must have been the original shocks on my 02 Flamer

It's this way isn't it?

Tried a search but couldn't find an answer, I'm assembling my cup shocks and don't trust the way round the bearing is inserted into the rubber mount. Can someone confirm it's orientation?

Well I've had both and as of 21 May this year I think I class as old

Oh that Flamer!!! I did love my iceberg ph1 but the dash was...well gash.
