Measure the caps, you might be able to find some Renault ones of the same diameter.

Add the cost of machining the crownwheel to the Mfactory one as well, not sure how much that is. Then £900 for the Quaife isn't so bad for an all in price.

Re: My PH1 172 Awesome, exactly what I've been looking for since I replaced my grill. I think I'm missing the rubber that goes along the front....

Mintex 1155 or Ferodo DS2500 would do the job.

Lightweight battery under the passenger seat, light 15" alloys and a LSD

My Quaife was £910 with delivery, that included Quaife fitting the crown wheel. Rebuild was £350 + vat but I believe Agency is much cheaper than that. If you could get a Mfactory one over on the cheap you may as well do that.

Re: My PH1 172 Stunning car! Look forward to seeing how your plans progress! I had an email from AT Power on Friday I think. They're doing a new Clubman range at a reduced price with and without ECU so I've enquired about them to see how they compare with the Ktec stuff. The plug and play of...

Love my Quaife. Fit and forget, does the job well. Had one in my last car too which is why I went for one in the Clio, don't regret it one bit. Throttle in the bends pulls it in tighter, gets the power down earlier out of the bends. If you know where to go then you can get them for £900. The...

Cooksport would be fine on a trophy. 182 cup has the same spring rates as the trophy, got the figures somewhere.

Re: Ph1 172 Fancy some silver wheels and whilst I'm changing them I might as well get something lighter.

Re: Ph1 172 Ordering my new alloys tomorrow! The Oz F1s will be for sale soon

Nothing wrong buddy, its just a different type of nut, I've got the bits under the tope mount that you have mentioned. Like this nut

What's the going rate for a set of 4 Ph1 OZ F1s complete with centre caps in black?

Its not the Polo one, agreed that is too small. That's the one most people use 528x299mm with a core thickness of 22mm The one I'm getting is 525x322 with a 34mm thickness, which isn't far off the standard size of 476x399 with 34mm thickness.

Good stuff, no aircon - no worries.

Thanks guys! I've found a brand new suitable VW rad which has a core size of 525x322x34 for £24 posted. So £46 in total with a 12" fan as well is quite a bargain!

Wow! I must be the first to fit itbs and a vw rad.

Yeah in that case leave the ball joints in and undo them from the arms.

Fixed bucket with normal seatbelt is very dangerous. It gives no restraint over your hips so you submarine and in an accident you'd never walk again if you were lucky enough to live.

Uhh....lost for words.

Re: PS4 pre-order I'll be getting mine when the price drops after Christmas. I can wait. I got my PSX 2 years after launch and my PS2 and PS3 on launch but I'll wait for prices to come down before getting my PS4 I think.

Very easy. I assume you bought them with new ball joints already fitted from Renault? Wheel off, undo ball joint bolt, lever it out. Undo two bolts to subframe. Refitting is the reverse of removal. However the extra caster will alter your toe settings so you'd want to set that afterwards.

Could you do it with trade plates?

I'm going to order a VW rad and slimline fan this weekend and I've already got a fan switch blank in case the rad doesn't come with one. The current fan has two plus on it, one for the motor and one on the shroud. When I wire the new fan in will I just need the motor wiring and not the one...

It's not dangerous. And it'll make a little more power as it is.

Re: Ph1 172 It's the most likely. With me keeping it N/A the best solution for the most torque is ITBs. I would want it to run like standard though. No cold start issues, nice idle, start first turn of the key.

Where is the fan switch on a Ph1 172? I thought it would be in the radiator but it's blanked off.

Decat would be much louder

As a better all round tyre I much prefer the Dunlop Bluresponse, very good tyre.

It'll look great a few mm lower. Vids when you've got the decat on please!
