hehe u kno it makes sense 2litre power is the way forward, literally!
now all these peeps are getin 2litre power i best get me arse in gear with these t/bs
adi
doesnt the 1.7 turbo engine out of the volvo 440 go in
dont think it makes that much power tho ud be best with a r5gtt engine if u want a turbo
whats up wiv ur engine a 2.0 megane bottom end on ur valver head and box wud make decent power for not that much cash
adi
yeh mine runs hot not what u want on a tuned car
ive got a low temp thermo an fan switch an it never gets hot now but temp still creeps up when booting it mite fuk thermo off now its summer see how it runs
adi
paddy lol a tenner u get the chance to drive mine all the birds will wanna shag ya cos u got harnesses hehe u shud pay me
172loony kno wot ya mean mate hate leavin my car with garages,oh an mine aint kno ordinary valver hehe
well actually its in the block not the head hehe
take bonnet, rad and front panel off and u can get easy access to it
might be worth seeing if u can get hold of another gauge panel to try first as its much easier to get gauges out
adi
yeh its well known the red ones are quicker hehe
i can agree with focuss not being bad on handling i was quite impressed wen i drove one, underpowered tho
never driven a 172 so dont kno about the handling of it, so if any1 wants to let me to rag there 172 hehe
adi
you really need to get someone clued up on rens to tell you the thread size im sure the reno technicians might hav an idea or like u say buy one and see
i cant see the 172 having a diff pressure switch to the rest of the range so cant be that hard to get hold of
id also add an oil temp one...
i dont see why you cant you just need a t-piece to go in where your current low oil pressure switch is
u really need to find out the thread sizes of the original switch, but when u buy one u get a selection of adapters u dont always get the one u need, demon tweeks do a lot of gauges get the...
yeh wangin mine round to the limiter in second will see bang on 60mph on the speedo but for an actual 60mph itd be 62-63 mph on the speedo if u kno wot i mean

yeh yeh non-smokers always say smokin should be banned while drivin well i smoke so fuk off ill do wot i please
i once managed to eat a chips sausage an peas from the chippy whilst drivin cos i was in a rush, plus i can talk on the fone and smoke a cig and hav a drink out of my bottle of coke...
mikey- pah i eat escy cossies for breakfast mate hehe
id say its better than a 5gtt transplant and certainly more reliable and able to take serious stick
i just need t/bs now to get over 200hp then ill be happy
valver box is fine jus lose out a bit on top end
must hav had a chip aswell cos a willy will limit in 5th at just under 140 on the speedo
mine does just over 140 on the speedo on the limiter in 5th, need a 6 speeder i think hehe
adi

same cant be said for later clios when i keep reading about blown boxes and this and that...
