    having my 172 cambelt done for £80 by a mobile mechanic (also someone i know)

    I had a guy ask me the other day why I had put a 2.0 16v badge on the side of mine because apparently you can't get a clio with that size engine :rolleyes: He then went on to ask where I had got the body kit from......

    V6 Espace airbox questions

    I changed mine for ease of routing the air feed as I found having two a pain. The noise is different from the PH1 airbox also. Its quiet and civilised at lows revs and sounds very nice when giving it some beans. Henk from fastchip looked at my RStuner logs yesterday and commented that i must...

    Centre section heatshield

    Now I might not be right on this but I think the clue is in the name. I'm quite sure the heat sheild is there to sheild the underside of the car from the heat of the exhuast!! :) The handbrake cable does run under it which makes it a git to tighten the handbrake cable

    re map on a 172

    Its going to be about the same no matter what tuning company you go to or if you use an RS Tuner. The RS Tuner will provide the same result for less money with the option of having a custom remap done for about another £50 when you get more engine mods for the car. i.e SS exhuast, sports cat or...

    re map on a 172

    I should add that I measured the increases I got with the inbuilt performance analyser on back to back runs so it should be quite accurate but probably not exact.

    Removing exterior window sticker

    Get it hot with a hairdrier and it should peel off. You may have to remove some residue left behine with something like AG tar remover.

    re map on a 172

    I'm sure you could meet someone or even drive to there house and get them to do the ecu upgrade for you and go through it at the same time. Eevn with the cost of petrol it would still be a cheaper option than getting a group_n remap from a tuning company EDIT: You wont get much on the top...

    3rd Gear CRUNCH!!!!!!!

    I had slight grinding in 3rd after putting the wrong grade oil in my gearbox. But if its got the right oil and is fully topped up its probably the syncro as they always seem to go on 3rd first. Your looking a gearbox rebuild of fitting a reconditioned box.

    Worn Rear Bushes - Easy to Change and Part No?

    On last MOT it says they are worn but as you and Rentech have said they hardly ever fail. The guys at Rentech seem to think its probably an MOT tester error. Where are they so I can take a look at them myself I'm just curious where they are?!

    re map on a 172

    When I emailed fastchip henk said to try both the group_n and the ron98 and see what one you prefere. You can do performance runs with both maps also to see what one is better. To me spending twice as much money on a group_n remap with a tuning company when you can do it yourself with a...

    re map on a 172

    Group_N remaps are all very very similar. I dont use the group_N on mine I use the ron98 map which felt better on my car. Remember with RStuner you have the option to go back to the fatory map and also pay for a custom map if you get more mods in the future. Best mod I have done on my car by a...

    re map on a 172

    Yes that is the correct section for files. What you will have to do is see what version of software your ecu is on 6400 or 7300. You can't do that without the RStuner. Then you will have to use the file designed for 6400 or 7300. Its really not that hard!!!

    re map on a 172

    Download the manual and give it a read. You will need your V/N to see what map is suited to your car.

    should I drain the coolant before adding anymore?

    If you kinow its been changed of the coolant is still bright green then just top it up. If the coolant has gone a redish colour and/or you want piece of mind its a 30 minute job to drain the system and refill it with new coolant. GSF do the proper Renualt coolant which is premixed.

    re map on a 172

    Do some searches there are plenty of threads on it. But to summarise. You put the RStuner prgram on a laptop and connect the Hardware part of your RStuner to your laptop and OBDII port under the ashtray. You then get the correct map for your car off of the rstuner website and you can...
