saw both them too, what about the red dci with different colour bumper and DCI WRC wrote all over it in the mud ;) lol

only issue i can possibly see is with the raised limiter, apparently the pistons WILL fail with prolongued use over 7200rpm. gearboxes are fine, dont drive like a bellend and you'll be fine! clutch and driveshafts are fine. my 172 takes a pounding with probably around 190bhp and the box...

that would put you off your dinner

but i thought the electric throttle body from a f4r was bigger and a straight swap with the k4m?

^ i paid £2600 3rd party on mine at 18 lol with 0ncb

its the wider tyres spreading the weight out, you want thin tyres in the snow example...

not accelerating harsh is the best way to get better mpg, even croozing at 80-90mph on the motorway their not bad on fuel but drive about like a tit flooring it everywhere and they drink! i only get about 20 miles less to a tank than i got with my 1.2 16v in all fairness though!

19, fully comp, 1yrs ncb, 172, £1100, admiral

you can use the throttle body from a 2.0 F4R (not the renaultsport one, just normal 2.0 F4R from laguna etc) its a bit bigger

as far as i can see from his story he hasnt overtaken past a junction i think hes gone to overtake 2 cars and the first car has pulled out to overtake the one in front when hes passing?

after a bit of research looks like its M22 x 1.5 incase anyone comes across this problem!

brilliant mate ill give it a go thanks a lot

lol the carboard bin was getting emptied as i was fitting it so me being mr tidy threw the box out lol so no part numbers :( its a valeo one, but from motor factors not reanult that must be what it is then, thats a start, if there cheap enough ill get one just to plug the gap lol!

its the exact shape and size of the one that came out, looks identical just that threaded hole is confusing me, looks like the type of hole you would put a thermostat in etc?

bump anyone shed any light on this really need the car for the weekend to go to wales! lol

ive never tried it from under but if you remove the airbox its piss easy to get to from the engine bay

standard clutch is more than up to the job

yeah tax is fairly chep on them, 6months tax and 1yrs mot advertise it for 1200 take 1k easy

thats not too bad if the new belt has been timed up properly etc who done the work? what year car was it?!

ok so got the dci all back together after i ran out of tallent during a colin mcrae moment lol went to fill it up with coolant (was drained due to hole in the radator, brand new one fitted) and the coolant started pissing out thought oops forgot the bottom radiator hose but found this...

front wheel drive drifting in the snow lol

nope no me man its been off the road for 3 months lol

Re: got a f**k off front mount for the dci whats next?!! how about you read the first post in my thread before you start making stupid smart arse remarks

as title? cheers martin

yeah ive noticed that when ive been up at my mates bodyshop, just never fully understood it! lol ahh well if im driving about with a slightly different shade bumper for a week or 2 ill just need to get the car dirty lol

yeah i know its not going to be a 100% match its getting painted once i get back from wales on sunday just dont understand the different shades thing, i understand that sun, weather etc all fade it over time but surely the paint code being the same means a colour is a colour?

so its the correct colour as i first thought just chances are its a different shade? how does this different shade patter work surely a colour is a colour?!

i got asked why i had a stupid loud exhaust on my car and got a bit defensive arguing it was over £1k's worth of performance exhaust parts lol but didnt make any difference so now i just smile when i get asked it

was flame avalible on non RS cars in 2001 though thought it was only after 2004?

thats what i thought, mine is the dark winey red colour, but then again theres the chance its not even from a 2001 car thats just the description
