    smoking 172

    how bad? Because as i know it, a little is just due to unburnt fuel, but loads would be headgasket....

    Starting and TDC sensor question?

    It appears that you have to cut the old connector off and wire in this one. I believe the problem was with the connector failing. someone else back me up please?

    Clio throttlebodies

    throttle bodies are shite! Nah, just kidding my good friend. I always said one day I would have throttle bodies just like Roamer's old car. I love the noise from them! The turbo came along so will be no more.:o

    Dont touch coil pack when engine is running!!

    tbh doing it with soaking wet clothes might recreate the faraday cage effect and the path of least resistance would be the water. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Dont touch coil pack when engine is running!!

    so many experts on here.lol. Well I'm an Engineer too.:rasp: Frequency has a big thing to do with this. so 50,000V across 1Mohm (resistance of human body across the arms) = 50mA If this was ac then I would most probably be dead. Funny thing is as soon as I did it I wanted another go.....

    Very interesting cold air feed......lol

    no, some filters have a cavity on the middle for increased surface area.

    Very interesting cold air feed......lol

    some cone filters have an opening at the end, so maybe this works. sucks some air in from engine on idle and has air forced in while moving. that is assuming there is an opening on the end.

    Dont touch coil pack when engine is running!!

    ok so what potential would the outer casing of the lead connected to the coil pack be in relation to a chassis ground?
  14. LegoHead

    Dont touch coil pack when engine is running!!

    yes frequency. As it was dc, a larger current would have been needed than for ac, due to the freuquency..... what do you do for a living then?
  15. LegoHead

    Dont touch coil pack when engine is running!!

    Its not really the current that kills its the frequency i think. I deal with high voltage stuff all day at work, so why the fook did i touch it.....?

    Dont touch coil pack when engine is running!!

    insurer "won't pay for modifications"

    tbh if you look at specialist insurers small print you will see that they wont cover mods either. Lets say a renault exhaust cost 500 and the aftermarket on costs 300 then in their eyes you owe them 200....

    100% complete 172RWD! - updated

    Re: 50% complete 172RWD! How are you cooling the engine? Could you leave radiators up front and run the coolant pipes along where the exhaust was?
  21. LegoHead
