Re: Ph1 172 Took it out for a good drive on Saturday, still very impressed with the cooksport springs on the cup shocks and wishbones. Only issue is the tyres catching the arch liners on full lock. Then gave it a polish and wax. The springs have settled a bit more now too.

Maybe worth it for a weight saving and extra space but not so much a power gaining modification. You're going to drive around track with the AC on, well you might! But the AC only engages when is it activated, otherwise the pulley is just like an idler pulley. There's quite a few components to...

I've got a nearly new Renault engine mount and powerflex dogbone. Not sure on the gearbox mount but look nearly new too. No vibrations at all but I can feel the engine and box moving around as the car does get driven properly. I've noticed the Ktec mounts at £200 for the pair. I was wondering...

I've just changed my knackered OEM dogbone for a polybushed one and its a massive improvement. No vibrations at all. There is still plenty of movement from the engine and gearbox. Enough for me to consider up-rating the other mounts.

Is changing 5th gear on it's own fairly easy on the JB/JC boxes? And if so is there any difference between the parts on the JB and JC 5th?

I'll be grabbing some from Asda I think :)

Look at the stickers on that BMW...tool. At the last trackday I did at Anglesey there were four offs, a bellend in his first Westfield outing and three heros in BMWs. I love doing trackdays but the total disregard for others is a worry.

Oh dear oh dear :(

You can get a really good FRP for £6k. A really good Trophy for £5k. So for 1k extra you could have better handling, less refurbs on the shocks, LSD, Alcon 4 pots etc.

Re: Ph1 172 Yeah the Fiesta was a bit of a head turner! This was it at Oulton last year, its the 2nd one going past. For some reason the links above showing the drop didn't work after I edited them due to moving them on Photobucket.

Can the 2 piece shaft with centre bearing fit the Ph1 172?

I'd be interested to know too! Found this thread. FYI http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?668905-Engine-Dynamics-Short-Shifter-172-182

Who makes the gaskets for Renault?

Any experience with BGA? I've used FAI, Payen etc. before but never BGA. I'm guessing they're just as good?

They're the ones :) all the same from China. Spot on product!

Bigger cams (exhaust cam is quite conservative), ITBs, headwork or boost. Same as any other engine! You're looking at 185bhp with cams, headwork and ITBs. Also decent torque as the VVT is continuously variable. I'd expect them to respond very well to a rotrex with a better exhaust cam only. I...

I've got a ph2 exhaust on my ph1, fits fine :) I put it straight on as I assumed they were the same but it has got a sliding joint which I haven't adjusted

I'm guessing mine will be the same. I shall have a go by the bracket then cheers :)

It'll receive a bit of trimming for the brake ducts so I might fiddle with it whan I do them. I might be able to heat it and shape it out of the way perhaps.
