Expensive mistake to make. You can't neglect belts on Renault engines especially the F4R.

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 7 -ITB'S **** Can't wait to hear it on the ITB's. The car sounds epic as it is, vids of boddies required definately.

I'd go for a 200 in AG with the cup pack.

Fair enough, what sort of weight is it then? <1000 kg?

What do you think is a better option retrimmed wheel or aftermarket? What do you do about the horn with aftermarket?

Minter.

Car seems to be running very well Jord. You seemed to pass the 1*2's quite convincingly except the silver 182, presume it wasn't standard?

I'd get a 197 2nd hand. What you save on depreciation will cover the insurance and it will be a much better car.

Well I took your advice and bit the bullet and am going to travel. To be honest I was only willing to travel that far because the sellers off here and I trust him. It is a long and costly journey, one I wouldn't want to make for a bad car. I'd take a chance as the 54 mile one though mate.

Sports cat an option. About £270 from ktec iirc.

True you will but its a better option than a 106 GTI imo which where both yours and my other option. The GTI's of the same price usually have higher mileage and are a bit older. I'm sure you'll find another mate, like you said your willing to travel. Which I tried to avoid but it seems...

Thanks for that Dan ;) Heartsinking moment especially after i've booked train tickets etc. He's took it down now mate sorry. I'll post pics up when I get it though. It's a long journey though nearly 7 hours, train tickets wern't cheap either but its a nice example.

I s**t one then. I was very confused because we've discussed the whole car. He seems like a realy nice guy, very honest about his car.

Nope. I'm presuming its sorted as he's told me the problems with the car.

Update: I'm buying AlexS's off here. Collect it next sunday. Realy looking forward to getting it now.

Done. 10 mins with a disposable razor and nail varnish remover.

Probably not to a standard car.

Is there any easy way to do it or do I have to sit for hours picking it all off? I only have a couple of hours, i'm selling my car tomorrow and it needs to come off. Thanks, Brett

19. 1.2 16v Clio Very soon to be a ph1 172.

Ok i'll take all that on board. I'm thinking of just getting it looked at when I go and make a decsion then. I trust both of the people i'm weighing up getting it done with anyway.

Thats including fitting and coolant.

69K, would you leave it at that mileage?

Seems a good price. Check the service history for belt changes.

Is it necessary to change the waterpump on a 172 at the same time as the cambelt and aux kit. The price difference is £125 between the two. I know the waterpump is driven off the aux belt so if it goes the cambelt wouldn't need re-doing. This would be on a ph1 172 by the way. 2nd belt...

Are they realy good? Compared to PE2's or Eagle F1's

Love the 355. Stunning.

Quite possibly the worst car i've ever seen. Would rather walk.

Hope you can do a deal on the red one. Its awsome.

Awsome car. F4R will finish it off. Any plans after that?

Its a ph1 which has the twin cat (some late ones have the single cat). You just need to get the ph1 system as its a different length than the ph2 system because of the cat difference.
