You will need the 172 cup alternator and associated brackets/fixings.. the Clio DCI steering rack is the one to fit when removing PAS.. You better pump those arms up if removing PAS though ;)

Brembo HC front discs... around £30 for each disc last time I checked Standard Renault rear dics... come with new ABS ring and bearings pressed in £115 for a pair Ferodo DS2500 front pads.. £94 delivered seems to be the going rate Standard Bendix rear pads... £10 at a guess?

They can put you on a "modified car scheme"... IIRC my car standard would of been £870 fully comp. Modified... fully stripped, bucket seats, harnesses, exhaust, re-map, air filter set-up, uprated brakes, coilovers £659 fully comp. I do not know how it works out to that figure, but that is...

Adrian Flux pratically tell you to mod the car LOL!!! All my mods added nothing to my premium, it acutally made it cheaper :)

I think the car would rev its balls off... similar to an air leak, but when running ITB's does it no make that system redundant ?

You cannot "over tighten" the manifold to cat nuts iirc... the thread runs out before the head of the bolt! Cat to centre section... make sure the joint is sealed correctly then get the nuts as tite as you can by hand

IIRC it filters fuel vapour and fumes through the charcoal canister, which then goes through the inlet manifold.. and is burnt off through combustion

Yes you can unplug the canister, but it will bring up a fault code on your ECU..

Just the seat alone is still pretty heavy... I would guess a good 20KG?!

ahhh... I think it is "480.bhp" selling that?

You should of gone for 15" wheels ;) I use the KW v2 coilovers, you will not be disappointed.. They are brilliant!

How did you get the cam cover, inlet and fuel rail guard so clean Fred? shot blast and painted? If so which type of paint did you use?

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) I shall be very interested :D Does Ben's car still run air-con? Will this be removed for ITB fitment?

Scrap yard, local fasteners shop?

No worries man... I am going to Ibiza on Monday, so hopefully will hear something by then!

Maybe Gray-Motorsport™ Will have to start trading again haha ;) It took the guy 3 days to fabricate my frames... I shall try and ask him tomorrow if and when he can make another set?

Top work!! The engine bay looks spot on and has the power to go with it :D

This may explain a little easier ;)

A few iPhone images.. The camera's really do suck on them!! lol The frame shown below is the drivers side.. I also machined two alloy spacers to go on each corner of the door side frame (Not shown above).. As there is a 60mm step down from the exhaust tunnel side to door side, this...

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) Me too! I was chatting to the AT guys at FCS :)

The mounts I designed / had made are for the use of fixed bucket seats, I am running Cobra Imola GT's which are pretty wide seats... They just fit on the mount (reaching maximum width of the frame) But I would be 99% sure you can attach any fixed bucket seats to the frames, as there are not...

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) I thought you where going to say that, I shall look forward to the "report" :D

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) Sweet man! What ITB's / management are you going for out of interest?

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) oohhhh sounds interesting, where are you having the work done?

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) ggrrr another person getting throttle bodies LOL!! every time I see / read about them it makes me want ITB's even more :( :approve::approve::approve::approve:

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 4 - Air filter located cup racer style ;) PH-1 pedal box????? Surely that is not a plug and play system, different TB, connectors, loom etc? :S Tell me more!! :evil:

I have recently had a set of custom subframes made, really good quality.. They bolt directly to the floor pan, you cannot sit any lower ;) I will take a few photos tomorrow and post them up! The guy would also be willing to knock up a few more sets if there is any interest... He does all/any...

You do have to take the drive shaft apart unfortunately, and build it back up with the new boot... I think this is why most garages etc. fit a new shaft as the labour cost of repairing the old shaft out weighs the cost of a new shaft!

Hai Ben :p
