yeh mate they will fit but you will have recceses in them were the 172 wings fit over the skirts and would not look right . so you would need ideally 172 bumper wings skirts . you can get non renault skirts on ebay etc just dont buy gay over the top ones . and to colour code them all you...
grind the welds of remove wing . line new wing up drill a few holes were bolts would be on a normal wing and rivet in place touch up with aerosol . job done end of the day its only a escort no point in payin top money for a cheap car unless its holds a certain value to you ( or its a cossie )
depends how much they moved mate alot do move slightly . a good sign would be smoking and using oil . your air filter does get oily as there is a breather from the top of your head to the inlet so you will get some oil . as for the car feeling slow they arent very fast at all tbh and its more...
yeh to save on maskin up etc saves alot of time . smooth for the first coat but did you find that after the 2nd 3rd coat it turned into artex lol .
i wouldnt like to be doin the mopping on that either lol
somebody email him askin what charge temps are like with this fitted and if a IC could be used . and if he had any det from this , and also if there was any problems with overboosting hahahahha .
Re: got a f**k off front mount for the dci whats next?!!
yeh haha realised after . 16 psi standard and mine made 18psi but not sure if gate was tight enough and could possibly of gone for more .
there only a very small turbo though .
when you go to look at it take the breather of and see if it is smoking through there to . the turbo's arent to bad to remove so if you get it whip that of first and see if it is the turbo thats causin the trouble if its more than the turbo just bang a new engine in . there like 800 quid but...

no wont need it mappin mate . as crazy clio says you may get more lag but i dont think it will be enough for you to notice unless you whack a huge IC on . you will gain more from a map though as you can run higher boost without suffering from det and high inlet temps . what size you thinkin...
i woudl guess at £240 ish price can vary alot tho . go up to JD Bodyworks heading up nr rainworth its on anglia industrial estate across from petrol station . very good bosyshop were i used to work .
not worth doin the engine swap mate . you may be surprised ant price of 172 insurance anyway its cheaper for me on a 172 than my dci van for some reason
a mate has this happen 3 times think it turned out to be a dodgy hub that was putting too much play on the top of the balljoint and inturn was shearing the top of the balljoint of . at the end of the day even if you ragged it ( not to hard ovviously ) the it still should not snap what if you...
lol i had to make one of them sockets for my mk1 clio 19mm spanner on that , and then a 6mm allen key on a ratchet through the middle worked a treat lol . gets borrowed quite a bit too seems like a handy tool .
the reason he is on limiter for so long is to get the most out of the gear 2nd gear may be capable of 50mph but he will be spinnin at 30mph in 2nd so will keep it spinnin till he hits 45 ish then goes for next gear and only changes up when he has maxxed each gear out other wise he me be in...

bot sure mate he had about 5 kept making new ones there is a thread somewere on it . was he a new member and did he have many posts . and were did he say he was based ?
ask your mate he will tell you the best local place to get paint . halfords only sell cellulose based paint. your mate will probs be wanting to use waterbased .
