The intercoolers on ebay are spot on. Around £50 for the smaller ones and about £65 for the next size up. They are the same ones you get from KTEC, ED, Jamsport etc. etc. but without the premium. They work very, very well. Don't waste your money.

Re: Ph1 172 I'll take a couple of better photos of the car on its new suspension this weekend but you can see the arch gaps. Spot on IMO. The springs are a credit to Josh at Cooksport. They ride really well and feel great. They are fitted along with Cup shocks and Cup wishbones so whether that...

My mate runs them on his MX5, they hold up well enough tbh.

Sell Westfield, buy FRP. Sell Zetec SE, buy Duratec. Buy rotrex, cosworth inlet and cams. Yes!

How critical is it that you get the rocker cover that originally came with the head or do they generally match up pretty well when swapped around?

They've sold for £150 posted before now

Maybe try something a bit bigger with boost. Leon Cupra, Focus RS Mk1/ ST Mk2, Megane 225/R26. The mini is pretty good tbf but budget in performance mods like cat cams, smaller pulley, better intercooler, exhaust etc. They go very well then!

I've seen various ducts for sale to fit my Ph1 foglights but it's proving difficult to find one that will fit the foglight holders perfectly. Can anyone link me to some that are known to fit and they need to be black. Ta :)

I know Valeo is OE. But as you have done I've used Borg and Beck previously and they've been spot on. Also I can get them much cheaper than Valeo. I may get one and open it up see how it is and then decide. Had issues with LUK in the past not being as good.

The Racing Puma was the last car out of Tickford, there are very few of the original 500 remaining. The box is very close ratio and even better if you get the LSD version. The brakes are superb, proper motorsport squeeling spec Alcons. The standard suspension is Sachs/Eibach. Alcantara Sparco...

On my previous Fords one of the best clutch kits was the Borg and Beck kit. You got the full 220mm clutch plate rather than brands like LUK and National which came in at 210mm and used to slip. Has anyone fitted one on here to their Clio? I can get them at a good price so if its up to doing...

They're not bad in ITBs tbh but the blocks have Nikasil liners and they don't last for long at high revs. Decent engine until they start going through 15w50 like its using it for fuel. Duratec is very similar and a much better option.

Is fitting the 182 4-2-1 whilst the head is off straight forward or still a fiddly job?

I know where you're coming from. Perhaps a Duratec with cams and ITBs would be more suited to it.

Ok thanks :) Not a chance, did all that as a teenager :o and I don't do 1/4 mile; its all about the corners. I may leave it as it is and see how it goes, rather than fork out on the rebuild and circlip welding.

This ^^^^^

Thanks for the info. I was going to get a cheaper one than the one listed and have it rebuilt. Can the circlip be welded? I'm sure I've heard of that being done. Bearing in mind I'll only be running about 180bhp. Maybe 210 in the long run.

Maybe worth whipping the head off and checking the bores, doing new rings? Wouldn't be great fitting the cams and then having to do the rings later. Also worth doing the waterpump and depahser pulley I guess. You could jump on the group buy to get the head ported and polished too! Then all the...

Are the bell housing patterns not shared across a few engines? The ratios are great :) Correct, they have the same ratios but a 4.06 vs a 3.89 final drive. The one I've linked has the same gear ratios but a 4.21 final drive. That's what I've been trying to find out. I think its speedo drive...

Pointless?! No :) I find the ph1 box too long, although they seem spot on for running boost. And you can increase torque to the wheels in a few ways...engine tuning, gear ratios and a smaller rolling radius. All I need to know is will it fit.

That is correct

Not the later 6 speed ;) Would there be any issues fitting this to a Clio Ph1 172? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/99-03-Megane-Scenic-1-6-16v-manual-gearbox-Guarantee-JB3936-BREAKING-FREE-P-P-/160784990774?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item256f884236

Nice work :cool:

He's got VTEC yo, bet he's easily taken Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Should be an even match for a Veyron, VTEC is like 4 turbos.

Hoole longlife, pipeworx, aa silencers

Re: Ph1 172 Well a couple of months later I've decided to get a few pictures up. The daily Focarse is black with silver wheels and the Clio is silver with black wheels! First mod I did was some wind deflectors. Gave it a quick wash and got some clear indicators and a set of pressed plates...

Cheers guys. In that case I might set it parallel so it'll naturally toe out slightly once the cooksport springs settle

Are these the same for a Ph1 172 or is that different?

Going to get the tracking set after fitting the cup arms to my ph1. How much toe works well? Still want decent turn in but keeping good straight line stability. I suppose parallel is the halfway point...

I'm lucky and the rollers aren't a problem. I'll email Henk as what I want to clear up is whether he will adjust the map once or if you send it back for fine tuning.
