Hopefully it wont be like mine and Matteh's, we thought they were very quick and then we had 1.4/1.6 maps on the ECU....it was twice as fast afterwards...its only one wire to connect to get it working ;)

Rev counter working yet Daniel? Mark - I contacted a few companies about it after some research into a Mk2 Escort quick rack, as there seems to be tons available for them. The internals are pretty similar but obviously not the same. To make the price even worthwhile would have needed 30...

what size? tried camskill?

Thanks ;)

Might have been switched off.... Turn your ignition on, then turn your side lights on and off twice and you should hear a beep....see if they work then.

Yeah Id keep it.....if a new box is bought on a service exhange basis, I think they are all re-built with the latest components through Renault. Considering the bolt in setup replaced the circlip design its probably why they use it!

Might have had a rebuilt box fitted at some point in its life... My JB3 (MK1) with bolt in diff has a 1991 gearbox casing code, but its got a brand new bolt in diff when It was bought from Renault (as a Service Exchange unit)

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Oulton and Cadwell are 105db usually, some are lower

have you kept your original ECU?

In reality, f*ck all difference IMO. Some people also say they are slightly stronger but Im not convinced. Just done this comparison...

Oil Pressure Sensor - 8200671286 - £15.28+VAT Copper washer if you want a new one - 7703062043 - £0.43+VAT

Oil pressure switch looks like... Can be found where Da said :) Ive got the part number/price somewhere, 2 mins.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Not much been going on. Some will be pleased to hear my exhaust tip was trimmed down by an inch and then tested at an Oulton Park trackday - Only 100db so its safe for another years worth of days how it is :) Lots of bits hanging round...

Didnt you know someone with a rig-up boat Sarah? Its only 15 miles to this side isnt it, lol?

Pulley mating face is square seems its the outer edge thats twisted/bent

Matteh created a VERY useful excel file with all the ratios and boxes in, it draws pretty graphs and compares different boxes against each other... PM me your email address if you want me to mail it to you, im sure you wont mind eh Matt!

...needs the pulley off first and check the end of the crank to see if its damaged. Bad news if it is...

My valver had e-torx too im sure Get some 10mm headed bolts if you want to replace them

E-Torx I swapped mine in the engine bay the other week, didnt take too long but I dont have air-con or PAS. Just be careful you dont round any of the bolts off or you'll have some right fun trying to get them off

Which, the 1.9D box or the Mk2 1.5D box? Matteh has ran the 1.9D for quite some time on his 172 engine now

Mk2 boxes are interchangable between models if thats what you mean, same bolt/bellhousing pattern

Re: Clio 182 BHP My F7R produced 153bhp. It drove nice, was good fun. Fitted F4R which will produce more than 153bhp without fail, unless some spanner has done the cambelt without the correct tools and the timing is out. All the ones on here that have been sub 160bhp have had some sort of...

No one can prepare you for the problems some Mk1s can bring, its hit or miss. It might one that will run and never need anything, or one that will p*ss you off every day with things needing fixing/replacing. They need quite a bit of looking after usually even in standard form, you have to...

Never heard of it being a problem on here... I use the cheapest 10w40 money can buy and hammered it round track all year long and never had a problem. Of them all I thought Mallory Park may have caused issues but it was spot on.

Doesnt the assembly manual refer to it as 'plastic baffle'?

Looks clean, Ph1 too! Thats a cambelt in the boot btw...

I always thought it was only 172 Ph1 and 172/182 Cup that had the speedo sensor in the back of the box (Cups due to lack of ABS obviously). Although, Blooooors 172 Ph2 had a speedo sensor in the back of the box, so im not too sure. Its easy to check, lean over and look down the back of the...

Depends on model/phase...

Clio 1.9D box will do 193mph @ 7500rpm in 5th if you ever got there

Looks great on the 1.2's!
