Re: Ph1 172 I miss mine too :( the Clio is a much better road car though and I'm sure it can be more than capable on track :) Speaking of which I'll have my track buckets fitted next week ready for the next track day. They arrived today and only weigh 8kg each which I'm happy with. Just...

Yes all the aircon bits are off the car so that would make sense :)

Re: Ph1 172 Cheers guys. Can't wait for Friday...2 more sleeps! Going to check all the tyre pressures in case that's affecting the way it drives, and I'll have a go pushing it around some twisties if it dries up. The only things that have changed are all the steering components and the Quaife.

Mk1 Focus RS

Got my car back today and this was pointed out to me, any ideas where it goes?

Re: Ph1 172 Got it back today! It's a fair bit louder than it used to be. It's also quicker (been taking it easy until the remap though) and the gearing with the shorter final drive is much, much better. The lightened flywheel makes pulling away in 1st a little more difficult but nothing...

LOL he was down and out

Re: Ph1 172 It runs again! All it needs is the subframe bolting back on and the radiator, hoses and front end reattaching. Very happy it runs ok though!Moved the ECU and tidied up the wiring for the new battery New battery 182 manifold and ktec sports cat, fits nicely. More photos tomorrow...

I thought it looked great already but that's much better!

You'll get a couple of bhp and more noise from the decat.

HTC one or S4. Both are pretty good, tough choice between the two tbh. iPhone....no

Because recliners not buckets.

It's not safe to use seatbelts. You'll submarine

I'm looking at a pair of seats for trackdays and the Bimarco Dakar or Expert look decent enough and work out well priced coming direct from Bimarco. I'm not a fatty so the Futura are too wide. Bimarco reckon the Dakar suits 30-32" waist and the expert is 32-34. I'm a 32 and my wife is smaller...

Not this year, having a break from shows for a bit. Not as much as I'd thought, much cheaper than most turbo kits

I'm going down to the garage tomorrow to see how its getting on. I was very clear I needed it for the weekend so fingers crossed its done by late Saturday morning. Out of interest what's it cost you to do the 225 conversion all in?

Very tidy build. Would look even better with all hard boost pipes!

Nice work! Looks a bit better flowing that the Ktec kit as the bends aren't as tight. Look forward to seeing the gains you get on the dyno. Top job :)

I've had a couple of sports cat over the years. Always worked fine. Only time I failed the MOT it was a dodgy lambda sensor. The 182 already has a sports cat, the only restrictive bit is the pipe on the back. I'd just go to an exhaust place and get the to fit a bigger diamater pipe to match the...

Fast road car to me is more power, putting the power down better, better handling and braking without compromising the car on the road. So making it too crashy or twitchy, too loud. So effectively you could still use it every day quite easily, its just faster in a straight line, around bends and...

Got ac in my daily, so it can go from the Ph1.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Just read through this, impressive build. Bes of luck getting it on track :)

I've got a nearly new mount as I'm fititng some Ktec ones. Its done 4k miles in the past year and is a genuine Renault one. You can have it for £30 posted.

I'll be trying them out on August 23rd :)

With the gun OFC. Awesome

Have a chat with Kev Hall from Revo. He'll be able to tell you what they can do. I'm pretty sure they did stuff with the DSG on their Scirroco demo car.

Hopefully my Ph1 will be a good drive on the road when I get it back (end of the week all going well). New brakes and braided hoses all round, Brembo HC and DS2500 up front. ATE blue fluid. New Cup arms, ball joints, shocks and Cooksport springs. New tie rods, rod ends and rack bushes. Piper...

Ahh well, the engine is going back in in the next couple of days. If I like the Clio enough and I've got money to burn in a couple of years I know what crank to get. Really you want aftermarket management and a 197/200 dephaser to make the most of the VVT and improve torque across the whole rev...

Could have done with knowing about the crank, I'd have got one fitted whilst the engine was in bits!
