Re: Track Car Nurburgeing Toy That's not a bad price. Yeah I ripped the engine apart the other day. All the inlet valves are fucked.lol. It was the bottom end which I needed, so fortunately the bores are all good. I'm getting it cleaned up at the moment for a rebuild, but my old head is...

^^this. the ones that "hold" it on are useless. Good job it's just for show ;)

Re: Track Car Nurburgeing Toy Looking nice mate. I was speaking to caffery about your car the other day when I picked his spare engine up. Where do you get your wrap from? I've got a few things that I wouldn't mind wrapping myself, but haven't found a decent place to get it from at a reasonable...

Really like those :approve: The niece had some lego over Christmas. She kept shouting at me because I wouldn't let her play :D

:approve: :( may change his mind once the mood eases. Crap though.

cut the pipe close to the plenum and put the end of a biro in it to plug the hole. Tried and tested :D

Out of interest, how do you know if they're knackered if not on the car? I would assume as a rule don't reuse them, but i've always wondered.

Are you saying that if you put all the unique aspects of the trophy on a 182 it's not a trophy? You trophy purists ;)

I can't see why not. It depends on how bad it is. Plus certain marks can be polished out?

Too right mate. In these events safety is paramount. It could have been much worse. Thankfully no one got injured. Plus it's not much fun if you're having to fork out unexpected funds due to avoidable accidents.

Move your battery and you can bodge anything down there ;)

Kev06 had his caf running into the Arch and it sucked quite a bit up on a wet day. Bonnet scoop is best/safest I'd imagine

Anonymous email? ;)

Not too bad then. Quite surprising considering the speed. I'll be amazed if the roof didn't crease. At least everyone was ok.

Welcome ;)

Still lucky that mate. Could have been alot worse.

crap advert tbh. So it was a 172 cup, but now had a 182/megane engine in it. Sounds like a bodge job to me. Although he's from up North, so must be trust worthy ;)

How long has it been like that? must have been sounding bad :( I ripped one open last night where the dephaser went and all the inlet valves are f**ked. Lucky boy ;)

you meant inlet cam seal right ;) It is shocking that they would do that. It's not even close to looking sealed. Fooking cowboys.

You were right Will, I put ROAC instead of RAOC. I'd imagine the ROAC drive to garden centres and admire alpine plant.lol

it comes with filter iirc mate.

No the Renault Owners Alpine Club, never heard of them ;)

fair enough. Always wondered :D

it might, but it would be minimal really. Most standard setups put the cafs in the coolest part of the engine, so it won't affect it much. Plus you don't really want air to be pushed in as such. Ever tried running into the wind, breathing is hard work. ;)

that's amazing. I can't believe they didn't fight that. Nice work :D

None unfortunately. WSR is the only one i'm going to. How come CS never do anything at that? do ROAC not allow it?

surely someone must know :S

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many threads on this mate. Do a search ;)

Re: Jon's trackday MK1 172 project thread what a result :D You going to get one with that spec? or just not bother with locking nuts?

You do see loads of them on the continent. I wonder why it wasn't sold in the UK? It's like the old school twingo. Tastes must vary over the water.lol
