im not sure if its something to do with idle control or if its just a breather hose, either way its probably sucking in s**t and contaminating your oil!
of course it is look at this RR graph of my box standard 172 look at the dip in power and torque between 4k and 5k.
ph1's dont do this and when my mate drove my ph1 the other day he couldnt beleive the mid range on it, feels like a different car, starts pulling like a ph2172/182 does at 5k...
ktec will be able to map it to do pops and bangs if they do custom maps, i beleive they were for a while?
i dont get this "i dont want to loose the 5k kick" thing, who doesnt want to loose a flat spot?
yeah one lady owner, long mot on it isnt too shabby!!!
just make sure it pulls well in every gear with no hesitation or flat spots or importantly warning lights. it should keep pulling storong to 4,000rpm, that last 1000rpm between 3k and 4k usually shows any weaknesses in the fuel system with...
similar but use the newer style gearboxes which i beleive are mounted slightly different to the block cant confirm that though.
either way the linkage is different they use a hydraulic clutch i think (the dci100 does anyway) and the gear linkage is on the top of the box rather than underneath
engine mounts are the same.
your gearbox doesnt fit i dont think as it uses the newer boxes, you could just use one of the new boxes with a DCi 100 gear linkage setup though or have a plate made up to adapt your box to the new bottom end
as i said ive never driven a 192/200 so im not sure if its the chassis in general or just a mix of the chassis and diesel engine/lack of pace in mine, i find it stable fast rather than fun fast, where a 172/182 is fun fast!. not sure if its as i said my boring engine giving me this feeling or...

the £1500 one could be a good bargain...
lol that badge is off a megane GT! however the suspension was developed by renaultsport, thats about it! its as much renaultsport as the twingo is! lol it came under the "RenaultSport range"
no chance, its not as nimble but its a different ball game in handling and stability. i can carry 172 pace through bends in my standard GT, id imagine a 197/200 with stiffer suspension, wider tyres and brembos is another level above that!
cheers guys, not sure what colour im going with it, they need a refurb as they are leaking from 3 wheels! so doing it next week at some point.
door strips are staying black, she likes it that way lol, door handles are done just not had time to fit them yet! its already had a suspension drop...
