    Caged!

    Yep I agree Britcar would take them I think etc. Loads of small series to use them in. A proper race spec 172 Cup wouldn't be road usable either suspension and camber etc would be to extreme. You can make the racer road legal if you want but gaain a proper efficient racer wouldn't be driven...

    Fitments not a long job. Thats abit drastic there not cheap but if you've even seen the messes other garages have done on Renault you'll realise why they are worth the money often. IF you need belts chnaging Renault or a specialst Renault dealership onlyto many mistakes have been done not to...

    fitted my de-cat

    Get the fault cleared from a computer and unplug the second sesnor. The fix is quite simple realy 16V_jon made it up just supply the lambeda sesnor wiring with a variable voltage mimicing the car having a cat there.

    £10 or so to have the bearings pushed to fit form a garage. Then you could fit the sesnors rings yourself bunsen burn them off the old ones etc.

    Oil and springs

    Fully synthetic is best realy but if your chgnaging it all the time and an't hammering it questionable value. Elf pro silkline 5-40 is a popular choice on here and its find for moet people useage. Stock plugs are fine usualyl for 72k and at the price it only right. Stock leads are fine...

    fitted my de-cat

    Thats the way to do it no warning light on 172 if you don't connect the second sensor The light will come on in time. However if you disconnect them it comes on imedisaatly on the 182 due to the way they are programmed.

    Yep GTT will be reiable put people arn't ever happy with the stock 120hp or so and just wack the boost up. No point ballenced bottom end on one ballenced bttom end for engine which rev the GTT makes power with boost not revs.

    Knocking noise update! Compressor?

    What compressor is he on about? Need more information on his guess realy there an air con compressor on cars with air con/climate but that not at the top of the engine. There the high pressure fuel pump but calling that a compressoer is daft its a fuel pump. Plus its on the side of the engine.

    Clio 197 gets track day awards..

    Was a very impressive lap times realy from both cars. SVA kit was in the pipeline for the Mk2 one apparently its in the same pipeline that the 172 Cup tunning brocure is most likly. Itb woulnd't be difficult to make it road worthy just the lights need sorting making a loom up wouldn't be...

    conversion to a 1.8 16v

    You could resue the pistons but if your rebuilidng why not go for some lighter ones and a ballenced bottom end. The early gearbox all have speedo output sensors so the spedo works the Mk2 cars more often have the Abs system powering the speedo. You'd ned to check the gearbox your using was...

    engine / turbo upgrade?

    Yep all the dci's have turbos. You don't need to worry about boost until you running dark smoke from the exhaust. Remap the best idea for more power. The rest of the stuff wasted no Hp gains. Diesel need fuel not air for power.

    Cam belt

    If you don't go to a Renault dealership make sure you go somewhere where they have the proper Renault tools enough engine have been rouinged by garages thinking they can do it. The cambelt kits £130 and its 5.1 hours officially to do the job so any quote around £300 seems very cheap.

    Loads of gearboxes to use JC1 is supposed to be OK although I woouldn't. JB3 ie Valver type is fine or there always the Jc5 boxes you could use like the WIlliams has. You want to ensure you've got speedo input one though.
