Struggling for time as always! but was day off today so started to tackle the F4R, it had 15yrs and 65k of grime on it so stripped it all down, got the PAS and aircon pumps off it as im not using them, got the top end all painted up, need to get a shot of a Dremel to prep the bottom end and...
I used to get low 40's in mine going up and down from Scotland to Manchester for work and that was at 70-80 most of the way
on my fast morning commute mostly motorway and B roads high 20's, always in race, not that it really makes any difference to economy
you think so? After 12 RS Clio's, every one since the ph1 172 (excluding the V6 and original 200 EDC) I thought the 220 Trophy was light years ahead of them all, enjoyed it more than any of them hands down, the only car I properly miss tbh!
I bought the best 197 I could and it bit me a few months later, in all honesty if I was buying another id buy the cheapest, straight one I could find in the colour I wanted and just keep the rest of the cash for the common faults as they come.
doing an exhaust manifold on my mums driveway in...
Nothing wrong with the box it was the poor software that wasn't upto the job the 220box/software was fantastic, my mates golf R dsg was as good as the 220 trophy box as standard once he had spent a lot of money on aftermarket software for it!
wait till the b*****d starts breaking! After 10x MK2s i decided to revisit mk3 ownership after the first one bit me a few years previous, done my research, bought a minter, 9 months and thousands later it was sold!

my mate was looking for a cheap 172 for a project last year and put it on hold when he moved house, he's now on the look out again and said to me the other day he cant believe the difference, a year ago £1000 was getting you something that was a good enough base to work with and now even the...
Drexler do one, they posted about it on their facebook about 6 months ago
have a play with setup though, I thought mine badly needed one from day one with the factory SuperSports, I changed them at 10k miles for a set of Pilot sport 4 and it TRANSFORMED IT! had I heard it I would have assumed...
Got the bay cleaned up a bit this morning. Job for this afternoon if my 4yr old will amuse herself enough is swap the tank, fuel lines and get the abs, brake pipes and master cylinder off ready for the 182 items
Been struggling for time recently but had a few hours today so got the engine out so I can get the bay tidied up, master cylinder, abs and brake lines to swap next along with tank and fuel lines
If it's a tuner list which a 2003 will you need the connects2 or the official Renault version (tunepoint? I think it was called)
If it's an update list one of the cheap eBay cables is all you need
I assume he lost the brakes and was using the engine to try and slow it down?
unreal that people risk their life by buying knock off safety gear, you would be better saving weight and just not fitting any at all if that's the case!
Yeah will.work fine, the pump doesn't activate under a certain pressure anyway so it's not like it's been running with no gas and caused any damage etc
Thank god the interior is now done, not in a hurry to do that again!
Just the uch to fit properly and head unit to install.
Re fitted the standard steering wheel without cruise control as I'm going to get the 182 one re trimmed as it's past it.
Not sure if the standard non RS dials will work...
Got all the interior wiring in today then set about building it back up, the van, having been a work horse for 19yrs had a horrible carpet with oil all over it etc so decided to put the 182 one in, which is in good condition and the 182s got a nicer carpet to begin with, down side, ITS TWICE THE...
