Jesus modern engines look like s**t lol, I gave up trying to count how many plugs/coils/injectors it had to try and work out what engine it is!

Threw this together for her nephew this week as a few of his mates got gaming PC's for Xmas and they don't have any cash to get him one and the poor lad is missing out! Went raiding my spares and found an old Asus am3 board with an old fx-8320e 8 core which is now running happily at 4.2GHz and...

RSTuning used an RSTuner to upload my map as they said it was the easiest way to make sure no other tuner could steal their map (I assume they locked it onto the ECU?) they had to pay henk for every one they done not sure anyone would want to steal it right enough it was a horrible map on...

Went to the scrappies today, Grabbed a set of genuine mats as you can see the 3 of us were staring at them in excitement (well I was), gave them a clean after this photo and they came up like nee Also got a set of genuine mud flaps lol

for me the answer for a mk3 is always Speedlines

not sure they would have sold many base model clios to old ladies if they looked broken from the factory

bit of a common theme in mine... starting in 2010 I was moving into the last of 3 years with my first fast car... bought a ph1... bought a runabout to save miles on the ph1, a DCi100... got bored of fixing old cars and bought my first brand new car, GT DCi106.. got bored of hassle free...

where are you located :unsure:

Back bumper has a crack in it, been trying to find a replacement in white but it isn't easy! This ended up a cheaper way of going about it... 200k, MOT failure

Love a LY R27, the 200 wheels ruin that though imo, white speedlines would be perfect!

off the top of my head no idea ill check it out tomorrow afternoon, wouldn't the steering angle sensor have thrown up some warning if it had been 180 out for so long? I don't remember noticing a massively better turning circle one way than the other lol

It's 2x genuine Renault 182 track rods which my understanding is should be fine for a DCi rack on a 182. That would make sense with being 180 out and possibly been like that since before I had it as I've never touched the rack on it!

I've never had it off just left all the van EPA's in place. All That been off is the squib and steering wheel. Is the limiting collar the plastic spacer that the track rod sits against when tight? Currently I've got, wheel straight, wheels both tracked straight but only one turn left...

Nope 1 full turn left, 1.75 right. I'm assuming it must have always been like that and I've never noticed before the engine conversion?! I didn't think there would be enough movement in the tie rods to correct that?! Will get it up on a ramp for a play and see!

Been racking my brains and I can't work out where I've went wrong with this... I've retained my vans original EPA's rack, it's not been removed neither has the subframe or column. Because I'm running 182 widetrack I'm also running a pair of genuine track rods and rod ends. I'm getting more...

Spot on Mick cheers

at least I know its possible! thanks a lot will check it out

did they make that in MS paint and leave the font at the standard times new roman!?

ideal, my understanding was always they could only code a new key if you had the spare to clone or something! will go have a look at the car then!

how do I go about that?!

Been offered a cheap dci100 with lost keys, I assume the only option is still a kit from another car with chip from key, uch and ECU? Dci100 stuff is harder to find which means it's probably not going to be worth my while?

good clean up job! engine bay looks great! I take it you work at that dealers? is it near Bristol? I was enquiring about a kangoo they had a few months back and looks similar

Key card in the slot and press and hold the start button for 5 seconds from memory

+5 for a refusal when its getting sold!

good to see so many RS cars on the list. Loved my 182 Trophy but tbh trick dampers or no trick dampers my 220 Trophy would have decimated it over any typical british B road, I suppose that's just progress though!

not sure if all ph1 were the same but my early W reg one had a tape player with a 6 disc changer under the drivers seat. Any TunerList cd player will work, just make sure its not an UpdateList (it will say on the bottom right hand corner of the face of the unit)

Remember this ;-) ...

Cheers mate, looking forward to getting it on the road just really struggling with time, rear beam and fuel tank is all that's left in the way of big jobs then just a few wee bits to re visit and tidy up hoping to have it all done for the spring!

this was mine going back 15yrs now! was a fun little car, taught me a lot about driving a car quick as everything happens a lot slower than when your in a fast car lol

megane engine would cost much the same and be less hassle for 250-300hp if you just want a turbo sell it and buy a 1.2 turbo one probably wont cost you much if anything to do the swap depending on the age/condition of your car. TRW Performance do a turbo kit for that engine if your set on it a...
