Are they using the proper renault timing belt tools?

Palatine motors in warrington always seem to do a very good job, pricey mind. In my experience of getting stuff painted (alot), ive yet to find a cheap decent bodyshop.....more you pay = better quality/finish/match IMO.

dash strips look familiar to biffys playing cards lol

yawn yawn yawn...when did you get air-con installed? PM Daz your details then......NOW ;)

CBA reading all the thread, but IMO sell it as it is, shouldnt have any problem.

Re: Canshaft locking tools I would have loaned them out, but as said in the PM renault have them at the moment, sorry couldnt be of more help!

If you're going to strip it, go the whole hog....trim/carpets/tar, not just the rear bench imo.

Nice update, good progress!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yep that was me!

cool

is it ok to turn up on the eve naith and still get on the site yeh? Running the car at pod on the saturday then was going to stay down and head to trax

No idea, I never tried them.......just wondering if you had and there were any differences lol!

Is this ready for marham yet? ;)

LOL :cool: Have you tried any of the other RST files on it yet?

LOLz. Dear oh dear.

Just imagine....Blasting round Brands with the air-con blazin', trip computer loggin' and correct ECU file runnin! With all the trackdays ive done this year, its used hardly, if any oil, and thats constant high RPM....so it cant be running THAT hot...

F4R's seem to run cooler than F7R's in my experience though? Edit. Too Slow TBH.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I got around that by making my own bits of the loom ;) lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ahhhhhh, nah that was when I didnt have the solid rear mount positioned correctly and the downpipe was resting on the ARB....its quite a way off touching now :) As you said, probably just needs new nuts, everything was replaced a few months ago apart from...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just thought id' write a bit of a summary of the last 12 months, not far off coming upto having the car for a year! 5 Engines F7P - 1.8 16v - The Original. F7R - 2.0 16v - Megane Bottom End + Valver (1.8) Cylinder Head (Rolling Roaded @ ~134bhp) F7R - 2.0...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Its a possibility, but i dont think its the issue... The williams ARB is only a few mm too short on each end, which dosent make a difference really, fits in the bushes fine and the car fine.... I think the problem with things coming loose (mainly...

good ole winston! Looks good :)

where abouts do you mean mate? rear drum where the brake line goes in?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Doesn't fit due to the hump it has for the PAS/Rack on a 172, I have one but had to use the williams ARB instead :(

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Drive it home before, no more knocking at all, just gotta check the tracking again now, tends to wander a bit at high speed. Inlets were a last minute rattle can jobby a while back lol, suprised they have lasted tbh!

most definitely Jamie

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Nah, not bothered. Im pretty much sure something on the 172 widetrack dosent fit correctly (few mm's out maybe), and putting forces on bolts that they shouldnt be getting. Going to replace all the subframe bolts with locktite in the next week or two...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Had a drive down to NW Performance ;) and spent a day there today, got the car up on the ramps to check it over, found out what my knocking on the steering was (balljoint-to-hub bolt was loose), and tightened up a few other bolts that had somehow worked...

Not bad! dan's times were pretty much the same too werent they? You still around warrington way dude?
