I've never seen one with the van panels they always looked like cars with no rear seats, probably what they were!!

There is a rare old beast for you... I don't believe they were ever available in the UK in 5door/2.0 - I did see some in Europe back when I had mine though. -this one is RHD though...

few points id make having owned them all over the years. there's no reason imo to own a trophy over any other mk2 RS as a drivers car especially given the price, for me the 172 cup was the best drivers car, and you will have just as much or more fun in a cheap ph2 172 with change to overhaul...

I run AD08RS on my van and they are absolutely fantastic in the dry, blow the Michelin out the water with some heat in them. It's a summer only car so ideal for it's usage. Everything else I run PS3 and it's a great all rounder

That will be better than one of those carbon cleans :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

yes

that was coilovers and 195/45/15

will be fine, the torque delivery is the key with them, i had one that was on the rollers at 118bhp/145lb/ft and it had issues with clutch slip but had done almost 100k. my latest one at 145hp / 147lb/ft with smoother torque delivery was spot on

lowered on 15s is a cool look for a non RS for me!, This was mine nearly 20yrs ago now when i was 17!

Its long gone, I'm a MK2 kinda guy! :ROFLMAO:

yeah the stalk was in the normal off position, car closed, doors locked etc!

yeah they fit as someone done it with a GT a while back.

I had issues with the drivers electric window switch, it would put the window down 100% of the time but it was extremely hard to get back up! you had to repeatedly just keep releasing and re pulling the switch until it worked. It done this from brand new and was back in twice to the dealers who...

Very nice pair! that 182 looks almost new!

mine got a battery at just over 1000 miles under warranty and then another at 12 months old, probably around 8k, first one was due to it refusing to turn the headlights off, no matter what i did, ultimately killing the battery by the time it got recovered to the dealers and then the second one...

I'd Never Trust Someone Who Starts Every Word With A Capital Letter.

It's based on the old Renault d4f, it's actually a bit like a home brew turbo kit you would build yourself, basic little engines but work well!!

The genuine Renault plugs were denso I'm sure! Thymey definitely weren't NGK! I remember doing a first service on one and being surprised when I pulled out non NGK plugs

it wont need an AGM for a 1.2 Dynamique as it wont have stop start, just a basic run of the mill battery which I assume has been tested to confirm its not a faulty new battery? is it actually missfiring?

the 172 springs will lower it still, but your correct the spring rate would be off due to the weight

going to need more info than that! what car? what diagnostics has been carried out so far? was replacement battery an AGM battery?

speaker interference, alternator or aux tensioner on its way out

will be an injector on that engine if the coil pack and plugs have been ruled out

id say its most likely to be oil leaking onto the clutch, but its always going to be guess work until the box is off. reading between the lines it looks like you have just bought the car and its previously had this work done recently? - If the seller and garage who done the work are decent...

na you can use a different ECU from a different engine shouldn't be a problem

i say early ph1, only because i was led to believe you couldn't mix the key and ECU's but when i tried it, it worked! so assume its because its an early car? or possibly the info online was just wrong! i know on a ph2 you definitely cant mix them as the ECU, UCH and key must match. I changed...

That sounds fairly normal for this time of year, remember if you have the heaters on the thermostat is probably staying closed so the coolant in the rad will be much cooler, get the revs up, stat will open and cool coolant starts entering the engine so the temp sensor will detect that fairly...

You should just be able to get the centre console from a double din car and swap it all over I'd assume?

The ph2 and ph3> clocks both have different connectors, you would need to remove the dash, swap the dash wiring loom and possibly the uch/engine ECU!

Depends on the year of your ph1 I believe. Mine is a 1999 1.2 8v (d7f) and I fitted a 1.6 16v k4m engine, jb3 gearbox and the k4m ECU and it fired straight up on the original 1.2 key. Jb1 and jb3 boxes are very similar I think all jb1 are front starter where jb3 are rear starter
