Still in desperate need chaps

Im pretty sure theres an engine code unique to each specific engine?

I am in the latter stages of sticking a 172 phase 1 into a Megane Coupe and im doing it all legit. So that includes notifying the DVLA of the engine change, thing is they dont make it easy to do thing legit at all. After sending my V5 off i had a letter returned with it stating i would need an...

Here are some i took last night

Lol thanks for that. And i did think he was being harsh at first but cheers lads :)

Basically looking at some free software for my lappy to fiddle with the pictures im taking. I have the software that came with the camera but nothing like photoshop nor the funds to purchase such a program. Any suggestions welcome.

Great pictures man. What shutter speed did you use to get such illumination of the high risers with little to no blur?

Its a Cannon Powershot SX10 Is. My firt proper camera.

Cheers man, shall be sure to look it up.

I knew my pictures wernt that good but no feed back? Come on ... Lol

Well as i dont have a car to take pictures of with my new camera, ive been out and about the countryside in the lovely spring weather taking some snaps. You camera pros go easy on me as its my first week of taking decent pictures and messing with the camera setting but im happy with some i...

Just buy a 2ltr no point what so ever converting a 1.6

This!

Yeap ive spoken to Danny about 428's and he says you get better top end but actually loose out on bottom end so im going to give them a miss. Cheers for the input lads.

Cheers mate but whAt's c&b?

Anyone with any experience of Catcam 428's? Whats your thoughts on them? Would they show good gains with a remap and matched inlets? Also where in the power band would you see the best gains? Cheers

The funny thing is Craig left a message with me on saturday to say could i call him monday morning. It was my birthday that day and i honestly thought he was going to say shes all ready to come home but no lol how wrong could i be. But nope not going well. Im not trying to find some decently...

Well bad news to report. The car was incorrectly timed up by a friend before it arrived at Craigs. And as a result has serious damage to the engine. Im pretty gutted tbh as this whole project just seems to be plagued and is yet another set back to the list. So the engine has to be striped and...

Lol at this. At last someone who isnt pussy footing around the fact its rubbish ;)

APD isnt all that new mate no. The chap Craig Stanley specialises in engine rebuilds in Swansea, hes on here with a name of Stan. He also does matched inlets, live maps for clio etc. The majority of the time ive been there its Renaults hes had outside. But he will do anything i think.

Well im guessing when it comes to issuing the MOT cert it needs to be 2ltr on there? I dont really know tbh. And yea thats the letter i got and defo a pain in the arse lol.

What conversion have you done? I phoned DVLA to see what i needed to do. I was adviced to send a covering letter to them stating the change of engine and engine code etc. They then sent my V5 back saying i had to have a letter from the garage doing the work etc so no i havent as yet but i need...

Well she runs now, last i heard there was an air leak to sort. Hoping to have her home next week. When shes fully road legal then i can focus back on the appearance and what dirrection i want to go Naith. But no longer than a month :S

To be fair shes been sat 1hr away from home for the last year. Just you wait till shes home and she will get the full works lol. Thanks for the comments lads.

Also once all is well and shes settled in im looking to go back to Craig at APD for A live map on his RR some cams and matched inlet. Watch this space.

So a very long time since i updated this thread. After failing to sell the car ive persisted with it and the decision was made to send the car to AP-Developments in Swansea where she has been for the last 4 months lol. Trailored up to APD Once the car arrived at APD it needed: Exhaust...

One of the nicest examples on a cup ive seen. Very nice sir.

Your just on about every forum :rasp: thank you

Also lads will the same cams fit a phase 1 and phase 2 172? And even 182 at that? Or different for each?
