It is true - im a Renault specialist and get constant phone calls from people that have tried to save a few quid and ended up buying a load of junk

£3k fitted - 172 conversion

Ive got a decent 16V box ( JB3 ) its £175 + vat with a 3 month warranty. You can get them cheaper but i guarantee you they will be fooked. Any problems with ours and you get your money back or an exchange unit.

To be honest ive driven a 197 and i dont rate them - theyve taken a step backwards

Fantastic - ive had a couple of retro Renault's myself including a R21 Turbo, a R11 Turbo cup racer and a Renault GTA V6 turbo......there fantastic cars and have so much more character than modern cars.

:D join the club - took me £10000 and 2 years to get 425bhp

Renault had a lot of warranty problems with the Renault 5 GT Turbo - the amount that came back for work cost them quite a few ££££. The same is happening with the 1.9 DCi and 1.5 DCi engines there producing - turbo's blowing left right and centre and costing them a lot of money ( mostly engine...

fastest time for a 172 cup is 13.9 - ive not yet seen a VXR 240 manage that time

Stay away from the 440 conversion - if your on a budget drop a 5 turbo engine in - there a hell of a lot more tunable and easier to fit

Its a cracking motor and a lot of hard work has gone into it

To extract that kind of power from that engine takes some doing

You will struggle getting a 12 dude - a bit of gas would sort it though

As i said - cut a section of the leg out and strengthen the surrounding area so the end casing of the PK6 will fit. Then just shorten the drive shaft. Its exactly the same problem i had when me and jordy did the conversion on mine. This is a crude pic but its very similar to what my leg looked...

It was built for straight lines baby !!

As you can see the PK6 isnt that much bigger than the JC5

ha ha - what do you think i did ?....shave a couple o mil off the leg with some emery cloth ?

And before you ask im still trying to get a loom 4 u

Yes it is - cut the chassis leg out like i did with mine :D The 6 speed i had in my clio was huge and i had to cut a small section of the leg out to make it fit - you know what im on about, you saw it

You could do it.... All you need is a PK6 012, an adapter plate, an hydraulic clutch slave clinder, 2 CV joints ( inner that mate up to the PK6 box ) some high pressure pipe and a clutch pedal that has a master cylinder attached. Bolt the plate onto the block, make a template of the...

Joins all the other old british car manufacturers that died off due to poor build quality, old design and competition from superior manufacturers

Thats nothing - ive seen worse in which people have survived The car is designed to encage the passengers and protect them - it does it pretty well, as we get some very badly damaged cars were i work and 99% of the owners seem to have survived. The shell has about 40 crumple zones and its...

I like - has it got the power to back its aggressive looks ??

I got my 60 foot times down to 1.8 sec - fair enough i had more power but racing slicks are your next move. Go for Mickey T's if youve got the coin or a cheap set of ex clio cup michelin slicks will do the trick. When you approach the lights smoke the hell out of them and then reverse and do...

Running strong dude - nearly shut that STi down and you had the capability to do so

The problem occurs when people dont close there bonnet's properly and it just closes on the hand release under the tip of the bonnet. If they dropped it from 6 inches and let it close properly on the catch the fault wouldnt happen. Its kinda like saying i forgot to close my car door and i fell...

you dont want a 1.6 ....be a man and drop a 2.0 in ....i have a kit ready to go !!

You can but be careful as they melt pretty easily

Take the shocker / spring off - if it doesnt free off with lubricant ( try plusgas ) or the C spanner get a very fine hack saw and cut the ring at the top and the bottom or grind the rings off ( be careful ) and order up some new ones from Demon tweeks. I always wrapped my FK threads with...

Cool vid !! .... Looked pretty equal to me - not bad for yank muscle in twisty territory Now lets see how the 197 would cope in Corvette Territory http://www.motorauthority.com/news/coupes/corvette-z06-beats-porsche-911-turbo-around-a-track/ Personally i know the clio would get chewed...

You mean the spacer / caliper support.....7700840654 £56.34 + vat o/s or 7700840655 £57.40 + vat. The number you have is the old number. Also Renault constantly change there prices so the above may differ
