Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread wicked project mate. you doing much to the engine?

Gutted for you mate. Never seen such a bad keying. you going to do it on insurance as that will cost a fare bit. You pretty much having a full respray?

ah, didn't think of that. mystery solved. :D

why would it. Insurance companies are not going to go through the full history of the car. If it has been owned before you would be fine. Why pay more money when you dont have to. They never pay out anyway. Insurance = Scam. Too many loop holes.

I left my OEM ones on when i did Bedford. The pads haven't been the same since, but they coped ok i thought. Will change them before i do my next one, but they are fine for normal day to day use still (7 months on)

Depends if he bought it from new surely. The previous owner could have put them in.

lol. I've seen a phase 1, but only at WSR. The picture above does't look like a ph1 to me.

how would they not know that you didn't have them in when you bought the car. they aren't the type of mod you need to disclose

Looks smart that. Never seen that colour before. Its a ph2 172 no?

1 tank for defo. You should be getting around 350miles before the petrol light comes on. Easy with the right foot on acceleration, but stick cruise at 70 and you'll be fine. If you fill up round preston your looking at around £40 quid depending how empty it is.

very nice James, great project. You fitted the turbo to this also?

Looks ok, but each to there own. I like keeping the car authentic looking.

He is asking about two cars that are in totally different categories. Plus he is saying that he's going to be doing 350mile per week. Neither of these cars will get 350mile out of a tank. Surely they are open to other suggestions?

As said it could be just a renault niggle, wouldn't worry about it.

Same her mate. Glad i'm not the only one. Hoping to make it into a faster road/track car in the long run. :)

Have to agree. Had a blast with an m3 on some twisties and he wasn't leaving me. Straights appeared and he disappeared.

Is that liquid yellow? Looks like the racer colour on that pic. Looks good on those wheels, but the zorst is a bit poo imo.

you mean the boot floor? could you not just sell it and get a better after market one?

brakes were recently pressure bled at GDI which didn't make any difference. Will have an inspect of the calipers

Personally for the mileage your going to be doing you will pay out quite alot on petrol. why not go for the megane sport 175 diesel. quick, easily tunes and good mpg. Scratch that, get a 182, best of both worlds.

As said really, would be quicker and cheaper to just give them a sponge. Probably look cleaner. They are ok for engine bays where there can be quite stubborn dirt. Still not a massive fan of them though.

what do you suggest? bit of WD?

can you not just adjust the braket, cut the bumper and add the 182 surround on it?

didn't think it was normal. its not all the time which suggests something isn't right. Boot? I've been getting wierd noises from my brakes also. pads and discs still have stuff on them.

could this cause the brakes to bind?

lol nice touch dawn :)

i'm having similar problems with mine. Even when heat is in them. Is it normal to be able to push the brake pedal right to the floor? There is still plenty on the pads/discs

aux belt or cambelt snap?

Tried that last night and it works a treat. thanks storm

what are you refering to? exhaust?
