Re: Ph1 172 No, got a couple of guys interested in the DTA ECU and still got the intercooler, boost pipes, rad, inlet and some small bits to shift. I'm considering breaking it right now whilst it's all in bits...

Re: Ph1 172 Yes, I couldn't at the time. I can now though :( ffs Going to miss the trackday on the 23rd too, at least it won't be rushed though

Re: Ph1 172 Went to the garage again with the ARP bolts and gaskets and my mate pointed out that oil is leaking from the back of the engine from the headgasket. I give up now, wish I'd never bought the stupid car.

For good prices my friend is a Poorboys distributer :) www.waxmonkey.co.uk

For the money you can't complain. Does a decent job. I've got the black hole, professional polish, Natty's paste wax and QD+ with carnuba

They won't be anything special. Generic twin tube damper and adjustable spring platform

There's a couple of good rolling roads close to me, this place being one of them. http://www.silverstoneautosport.co.uk/rolling-road-a-mapping.html But I guess they won't have the means to do it?

Didn't realise they could do it! Yes they are a little closer but not by much.

I'm in North Wales, RS Tuning is roughly 2.5 hours away. Is there anyone closer to me that can map the standard ECU?

Let it breathe to atmosphere or get a catch tank

Mk1 valver vs Ph1 172. Both running the Ph1 setup

My gearbox is off for a rebuild at the moment. Will this seal get replaced?

JJC do alloy brackets so it'll fit under the passenger seat

Might no be applicable to a Clio. It was on an old Fiesta so the way it mounts will most likely differ. I'll go with the top hole anyway. Currently the car has 0 camber both sides, strange seeing as its on Cooksport springs. Anyway if I turn them to MAX either side will that be 1.5 or 1.75...

It worked. And it's been that way for 3 years.

Do you fit them in the top or bottom hole? I know it's usually the top hole. The reason I ask is a friend fitted his in the bottom hole to get more camber adjustment.

For a track car what would you go for and why? A Mk1 widetrack with 172 bits or a Mk2

Re: Ph1 172 I'm still debating whether to try and make a trip to Paul at RS Tuning or get Henk to do a map. In the long run I'm planning something else so I'm leaning towards a custom map by Henk at the moment.

Re: Ph1 172 Gearbox went off to GEARS in Southport, it'll cost a bit more than Agency but I've used them a few times before and they courier it both ways for free. It'll be running Cup gears so 3.09, 1.86, 1.32, 1.03 and 0.79 with a 4.07 final drive. I couldn't get the 4.21 final I wanted or...

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco I remember my mates Yellowstuff smoking like mad after 10 laps at Anglesey, they were nearly new. Then they were fine after that

Very nice!

Sod it! I'll give one a go I think

They are the same as the Rally Design ones. Not sure if they are the same as the Varley and Odyssey but the materials are the same and the weights, sizes, amps etc. are all around the same figure.

That's good to know :) which one do you have fitted?

Here you go :) http://www.rapidonline.com/Electrical-Power/12V-18AH-SLA-Battery-HZB12-18-18-1172

We're not joking! :P

And they don't make a mess if you get it wrong!

Interesting that the windscreen is different! So the 1.2 has thinner glass on the windscreen than the 172/182?

I was building a hill climb car a few years ago but it had to go unfortunately. Now I'm looking into using the Clio. Although tbh spending a whole day for 5 minutes of driving isn't great. I'd have to check the blue book very carefully as its for the road class. Things like induction, exhaust...

Thanks! I just saw those in another post! They're weights from a 172 cup with thinner glass, so I assumer would there be more saving with the other models?
