Awesome... Love this colour in 197's

Re: Valver Track Car Project Thread What did the noise turn out to be?

Nooooo... The sound proofing is fibre based, spray a light coating over and it will soak in! Mine looked perfect after :)

It will fit in easily enough... A few people have converted from PH-1 - PH-2, all you need are a few lower spec parts from the 1.2 PH-2

I am selling my Magnex system Simon... £200 with a de-cat, Ill even throw the door handles in FOC ;)

It took me 2minutes... Grab and pull!

I cannot see it affecting the brake lines... As the sound proofing has no heat properties at all?! It literally dropped to bits when I removed mine

hahaha... Do not worry, it was removed weeks ago... I sprayed mine before I joined the dark side ;)

yeah, they are the same as mine (but I do not have the key lock)

I gave mine a light coating of black spray paint, made it look brand new!

We should have a KW mini-meet ;)

Demon tweeks for the flush aerocatches, around £25 iirc?? Best to give them a call, they will know which ones you require! Sounds like a good project, if only I had the "disposable" cash to do this *sigh* ;)

Looking good Anthony! The KW rears do not lower much at all.. that is set to max low! But it looks perfect tbh. Looking at those photos the front could do with another -10mm, But it does look alot better in real life! How was the drive home?

Brake fluid is rather flammable... I would get on the phone to Renault first thing Tuesday morning, say you want to speak to the Service manager straight away! Lay it on them... Your child was in the cat etc. It could of ended with your whole car up in flames if you went on a "long'ish" journey!

Brake fluid cap not fastened correctly, dropped off onto hot exhaust manifold? But it also looks like the reservoir has melted aswell??? Very luck there!

KW v2..... Good choice sir, only the finest RS's get to roll with these ;) I love them!

The discs... Brembo HC's can be had from GSF, £32 each IIRC! DS2500's have just gone up in price, I got mine just before the increase for £90 delivered from Demon Tweeks, but if you know the right people... *cough* Fred *cough* You should be able to get them at a reasonable price ;)

That is what a localish company told me... send current spring, tell them how stiffer and lower I want to go.. TBH I think they could go a more "stiffer" but I do not know by how mucho??

hmm... I have not got any idea which ones to order LOL!?

Awesome... Looks like you had a great time, makes me want to go more and more everytime I look at photos! I must go this year!!

Just saw this advert on t.v Thought I would put the 172 through, see what it is worth haha.. All you need to fill in is Reg no, miles, options etc. Just put a spoof phone number and e-mail in... It then shows you the valuation on the next page! www.webuyanycar.com My 172 to them is...

Smart.... Not a fan of the "Renault Sport" badge on the bonnet though! Wheels look good, same combo as me but orange rim / black decals :)

ahh yes, I knew there was one "coming soon" Never thought to check again.. As they where not open when I had my wheels done.

I've never had a problem really... :S Not really had the car loose traction or struggle?! The odd times if you floor it through first and second you will get a little wheel spin! PE2's, KW's, 2.0deg negative camber, slight toe in... I suppose that helps a little :)

When I went down, got a few funny looks off the 20stone truck drivers... "why you got orange wheels pal?" "where's your car seats" Thought they where going to gang rape me TBH hahaa! :dead: LOL! Just losing 150KG off a 172 makes so much difference... Totally different car, plus its free...

aii 1059KG is standard PH-1 weight, Just to give you an idea of the "competition"... Mine is stripped.... standard glass, dash flocked with a few bits chopped out, CD player and speakers, standard front seats (when the car was weighed), standard front seat belts etc. 927KG With half a tank of...

No worries man! Just say Kieran with the orange Renault Clio wheels sent you ;)

average ;) Glad its all sorted now... I imagine it "feels" and goes alot quicker with the correct map on!!! Had a chance to weigh the car yet?

As said guys, they are an industrial powder coating company... Nothing to do with "wheel refurbishment" as such. You give them bare metal, tell them the colour, turn around on wheels averages 2-3days dependant on their work load and what colour you are wanting. Derwent Enamellers Kingsway park...

Do those springs fit without any rear adjustment platforms? My kw v2's do not lower the rear at all (fully stripped car).. I could do with something around 40mm lower and a little stiffer!!
