182 inlet and plenum are different to 172 apparently. 182 Ecu would prob need fbw to, therefore you'd have to get a 12 peddlebox if i'm correct!?

You need cable throttle body! UNless your pinning 182 ecu to 16v loom, that may work? But for OMex you need cable, I'm using mk1 172 inlet and plenum and throttle body

Arr, that would be the reaosn then ;) lol I'm on a tight budget too but you only live once!

I know :(

LOL! Omex for wiring, expensive but s**t hot stuff and its plug and play basically! Using standard valver box until it breaks, so 5-10 miles lol!

Just engine, 51 plate cup engine (15k apparently although has been storwed for 3 years)with ecu and loom although loom was cut, but i didnt need it anyway, I cut it to bits last night! Where are you getting the FK's from?

Same place as jess's :D

Still looking into brakes and suspension,. but AVO Suspension looks best. Engine was from eBay! £500 delivered!

geesus - I read that two but mine was fine?! I also have PAS which he couldn't seem to do either :S Got it all Plumbed up last night, no pics becuase they are basically the same! Exhaust from 172 didn't come reach down enough to go under the car, but can make my own 4-2-1 now so not overly...

Mines been really good to me over past 6 months! Where can i get seb chip fitted and set up though?! gaz - Looks awesome in blue :) Shortie - My girlfriend used to live in cockfield and i'm 20 mins from bury the other way!

Pics of the engine fitting snuggly into the engine bay :D

Engine went in last night, we are using the 172 standard manifold but cutting it becuase its way to short, and turning it into a 4-2-1 manifold that fits! Pics soon :)

All turbo cars have wastegates, it gets rid of excess exhaust gases, this makes a fluttering noise, or you can have a dump valve which goes before the waste gate, building up and releasing pressure quickly, causing less turbo lag :)

I'm thinking of selling mine ;) Just need a car for afterwards!

Crash wasn't recorded and don't know how i managed insurance, was about 1200 iirc. 106 Gti was about 1400

djroberts@eapoc.net ;) I'm finding mountings really easy as basically the same. Using Omex unit and Cable throttle as omex cant use FBW, just had cable one come through! Also managed to run it with PAS unlike wayne. Also the omex unit as its just plug and play basically and can't be...

Wish I had the £££ too lol! Will keep up to date!

Happened over a year ago now! What don't look different lol!?

Maybe as classic as a valver, I wouldnt modify or touch a Williams but a Valver I would! It's also quicker than a valver :P

Bought this valver back in October 2005, 7 months after I'd past my test and still 17! :P Was quite nice, although so many problems, including some dick jumping on the bonnet :( Some of the best pics are below including the final pics when I was doing 70 and the track rod end decided to...

Thats great cheers ;) Just seen the Valver one also in a thread called Clio TT Looks more room in the MK2. If I had the money maybe but 172 is good for now :D

I got it from London but it used to be owned by a guy in Ipswich and also a guy on here, it was in a previous post somehwere about your car at 19!? Where abouts is Clare in Suffolk? I've owned it since February Corners aint too bad, but centre of gravity is so high on these, rolls like...

Yea, i think that could be true as mine goes quite quick. Would love a go in a standard one! ALso have a Pace Intercooler fitted!

Cool, I'll have a look for VAG conversion!

I was talking to the bloke thats helping me do this and he thought how the hell do you fit a 1.8t VAG lump? How do you and any pics of it been done? Basically thought about this ages ago and thought it shouldn't be too hard, plus can look standard too if ya get me?! Didn't realise they...

Fiat have actually just bought out another 1.4 Turbo :) But only has 120bhp as standard! They can push a lot with a few mods. I don't know exactly what mine is as not been rolling roaded but; 130 - Standard + 30 - Superchip + 7-10 - exhaust and filter (felt rapid once exhaust was done!)...

Thought of this project a year or so back, then cam on here two days after I started and saw someone had done it! Anyway, Its a K Reg Valver shell with rust galore, Engine wasn't working had willy wheels and got it for £250! Not bad in my opinion! Currently the engine is fixed into...
