    shud i swap 182 4 225

    Nope, dont get it its nothing like the Clio and youll loose more money than you can think. Best way to convinve yourself is to take one down a back road then take the 182 then think the Megan costs 50% more to run in tyres and fuel and isnt as good. Best speak to Omar though he swopped to a...

    Tolley Jack Jacking Points on Mk1 Clio

    The sills on the jacking poins are strong enough as long as you spread the weight and dont lift the car on a tiny surface area. Dont life the car on its subframe use the jaching points/ axle stand points mole recomended which are under the car about 1 ft in from the door sills you canot miss them.

    My First 172

    Check for leaking oil and ensure its got oil in it since they can sometimes bburn it. Watch out for uneven tire wear when it might have been in an accident. Give it some stick on the test drive is the best idea check it doesnt come out of gear. Check the services have been done.

    conpression ratio’s

    It all depends on the power your going to run. Nick hill has a high pressure 1.8 16V. The higher the psi (assuming no change in temps) the higher the power 14.7 psi will give twice the stock power. 29.4 would give 3 times stock power. However you need to lower the compression ratio to enable...

    tracking place

    Any decient garage should be able to do it. Just dont bother with Renault they messed mine up time after time. The back road garage redid it for £30. Demon Tweeks are very good though.

    Rollcage

    Least they will insure you. I take it your over 25 or somehting as thy wont let me lower my car at the moment even. Loonys right though about insurance companies, they love people who want to stick roll cages in there cars. Even some of the highly modified cars insurers wont cover for them.

    megane 225 engine help

    J3ned is the person to speak to but cost wise this just isnt IMO effective. Best IMO to sell your car and buy a 225. If you want the sleeper look take the 225 body kitt off and sell it to someone who wants a 225 lok alike. Your looking at a fair price for the whole fornt of the Megan plus...

    Relaibility

    The box is good for as much abuse you give it. Ktecs has survived with 270hp and some 172 turbod cars have 300hp without problems. People have worn boxes and broke bits with stock engined though through total abuse. Roamer smashed his with 212hp but thats probably due to the 1/4 miling...

    Maybe a daft question! (Harnesses)

    I wouldnt bother with Harnesses you cannot use them for day to day very easily a normal seat belt is much easier and probbley safer at slow speeds as you can move round it it to see whats behind you etc.

    Yep its in bits again. Needs a new clutch cable plus most of the under bonnet bits going back in. Also need another oil change and gearbox oil change and a new exhaust. O how I love older cars.

    Best gearbox oil 182

    Id stick Miller 10-40 in the engine and millers 75-90 in the box its about the best you can get. Its not cheap mind you.

    182 Cup seat comfort for 6’4 driver

    Best idea is to go to somewhere like Demon Tweeks and sit in all there ones. Just make sure you get one with loads of padding otherwise youll be sitting on a load of jumpers etc like me.

    chipping a clio

    Superchip just do off the shelf remaps so there not idea for the car. Personally Id go with a SMT6/7 from GDI or a remap from Hillpower (I think they can now remap 172/182s)
