Should they all have a gasket, though? Mine was well sealed and looked like it came out of the factory like that, without a gasket.

I've just taken my cat off and there was no gasket, which seemed fine. Going to buy a new fixing kit and the picture on the ktec web site has a wirewool type gasket to go between the cat and the manifold. Should there be a gasket or not?

Mine's done 132k (108k by me :-), runs fine. Original clutch. Still 190psi in each cylinder and just made 174bhp ATF with a ktec stealth. It's more how the miles were done, all motorway/ dual carriage way is fine. Around town lots of gear changes etc is a different matter. When you get in does...

Yes.

Do Renault do it? When I asked them for the cam locking tool they said they didn't sell it!

Where can I buy one, can't find it on the web. I don't mean the one for locking the cams in position I mean the one for holding the pinions while you tighten the bolts.

If you have uprated mounts the vibration will be worse. That's why the engine is mounted on rubber and not bolted straight to the body work.

On the cup they do even less than on a normal 172. The Ktec ones will look prettier if you like that sort of thing but other than that you won't notice any difference.

Well if 110 if 5k rpm at 7k that would be 154mph. The limit is 7250 as std. I heard someone did 135 in mine once...

Have you put an ODBC fault reader onto the car? Often they detect the fault before you can feel it. I think it is the upstream one that does most of the work.

It drives power steering and water pump as well. If it goes it can take the cam belt with it. Best to stick to the stated intervals.

I don't think it has a purpose.

ODBC reader said upstream lambda - AA man told me. This was more than the normal flat spots when cold. I struggled to keep it above 30mph, then it suddenly cleared and just missed every now and then once warm.

Not really understanding your question. I just supported mine, put it on to the standard mounts and then tightened up the stealth mounts to hold the exhaust in place.

Have a look underneath, passenger side, you'' be able to see it just behind the engine under tray. The later ones are twisted - my October 2002 52 plate has twisted.

I have a 35 offset turini. It looks almost identical to the Renault ones but it isn't. I didn't notice when I bought them.

When my lambda sensor went it did this. Was undriveable for from 1 to 3 minutes when cold.

With the mods you list plus cams you'll probably get mid 190s from the engine (not per tonne). You either need to lose weight or spend big bucks.

My near side rear tyre always wears out of shape (gets flat spots) after a few thousand miles. It makes a noise like a failed wheel bearing. So worth checking your tyres too.

There are some mounts inside, but I was meaning outside. Since it is loose inside there are some mounts inside that the reflector can come off. you might want to try pulling it back on. Maybe if you can get your finger in the hole where the full beam bulb goes?

What fell off? Broken mounts are normally a sign of a minor bump. You can glue/epoxy them back on. Otherwise ebay.

Are the R888s worth the extra cash?

The 172 manual says 90Nm in some paces and 105Nm in others lol. I guess anywhere in that range is fine.

The 182 and 172 require different wheel offsets why is this? Is the suspension geometry different? If so how? Thanks

No you've got until the 6th of Feb IIRC.

Did you line up the marks on the tensioner?

http://www.fastchip.nl/media/doc/clio2/F4R_730.pdf This is probably all the extra you need.

Not me but they only went out on Thursday didn't they?
