What power was it before mapping? Mapping is next on my todo list Nice results 🙂

Totally agree with this, selling my 172 cat payed for new system, 172 manifold and link pipe and I still had cash spare 👌

As is mentioned above, I'd be making sure you can undo the front top mount nuts first. Especially if you don't have an impact gun. Pop to a local garage to have them loosened off if you have any problem with them. Front discs can have a locating screw fitted too which can be a Ballache if you...

I wondered that but fact the engine bay is yellow too 🤷‍♂️

Not Mine but could be a good project for someone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353527698577

Was going to suggest these too. I usually pay ~£120-140 for a set minus fitting in 195/50/15. They seem to last ages too

Great to see this as I couldn't find the seals anywhere either. Might be worth turning this into a guide? I had my 172 regassed but it only lasted a couple of months so think il replace all the seals like yourself 👍

Think my mother would finally kick me out if I did this 😂

Launched it in the bath, got a load of greasy dirt out but no grit/sand so I think it's pretty clean tbf. My friends must have had a shitload of sand somewhere as this is his injector hole after

Ffs 🤣 Think il give it another flush with the hose then just to make sure Thanks for the reassurance from both of you tho 👍

Yeah the inlet was stinking (30 years worth of greasy dirt) Do you think it's worth spraying some light oil inside so just incase there is any more grit left in there it might catch some of it? Bit annoying really as the people who did the work didn't even mention needing to clean it out. Just...

It's a bit big for the sink 🙈

So iv had my inlet aquablasted on my 16v, all looks clean but a friend of mine recently had the same work done and a load of grit got into his engine as there must have been some left in the inlet This has concerned me a bit as I can't see any obvious grit in mine and have run a hose through...

Megane may have to go so will be back to daily duties 🙈

No seats but plastics are still in

Anyone fitted one without a cage? Wheres best to mount it as I can't really see anything to mount it to? Thanks in advance Rich

I just took a look on dialogys, doesn't seem to be any upper spring rubber seat, but the lower one should be part number 7700419475 Top metal caps are purchased separately to the strut top set also. They are listed on kamracing from what i recall

I purchased cheap wishbones 5 years ago off ebay, one of them turned out to be incorrect though after having a driveshaft explode so definitely need to be careful when ordering. Make sure they match the ones you take off. I haven't bothered repainting them as they are half tidy still Yes mate...

Ah fair enough, I was actually thinking to start a thread on here for recommended powder coaters actually as I had to do a bit of searching to find the one I used, they were really good actually as they liked cars themselves It's Metallic 676 mate so standard colour 🙂 '96 must be one of the...

Oh really what years yours mate? Are you local to South wales? Iv used a blasters/coaters just down the road from me and aqua blasters in bridgend

Got some progress going on with this now, had to wait for powdercoated and vapour blasted bits to be done so can start some reassembly purchased a load of new parts for the refresh also

I picked one of these up from curry's, plug and play 🙂 Think its 1tb

This is on my mk1 clio rather than a mk2 but there seems to be alot of helpful people in here Basically iv managed to cross thread one of the hoses to the rack and isn't holding a seal. What are my options here, anyone have any experience with these sorts of repairs? I have ordered a tap to...

I had this issue bit with just one side. Turned out to be a bent hub. Unlikely for you to have both tho so most likely wishbones you would think

Love seeing threads like this 👌 keep up the good work

So I kinda forgot about this thread really and haven't really done an awful lot with the car other than use it for the odd meet etc Iv never really payed any attention to the engine bay of the car as it just worked when I got It but its now time for me to get it looking as close to how it did...

I really like the sportex for the money, nice fit and relatively cheap. It's mild steel tho so probably won't last forever

Yes mate, and stainless washers to suit These are the rear bolts I bought too but didn't end up using those as originals were fine

These are what I went for after recommendations off here
