the 172 system is "quite" loud when you get the 2.5 inch. The smaller bore is quieter and the build quality is fantastic. The 182 system is better and quieter than the 172 system

Think AndyRG is around Durham isn't he?

that's an interesting conversion! i have no idea if i like it or not

We had a fleet policy years ago, The documentation said any vehicle and any driver with the permission of the policy holder. In reality, there were further restrictions once you declared a regular driver on a specific vehicle, Normally a massive excess for young drivers, but the cover was there.

Re: Clio sports in bedfordshire You've been mentioned to me as a local by a few people actually :)

there's a fair chance the lambda sensor was damaged when fitting the decat. They're quite delicate

I think you're right :D

well timed bump. On it in a minute

the custom exhaust place in Cardiff is Pro-speed ;) Charlie is a hero

The stealth isn't listed. But i'm pretty sure I could have one done as they're all made to order

are you using a genuine shaft? there are 3 different versions of the 2 piece shaft, 172 ph2, 182, and 182 cup/cup pack. All are different lengths. Non-genuine shafts only cover one of these lengths, and run the boot on the outside of the joint, which causes it to rub on the block. Split boot =...

I've seen a 3 go for £4k in the last year. A 2 is easily more desirable. I'd keep it til the spring though i think, even the good 2's are'nt selling

I only use a genuine renault aux kit. There's only one non genuine one i know of and it's a b**ch to fit, and incomplete.

I went to the jet wash earlier. The bay i pulled into was having a purge cycle to rinse out the lance, so i grabbed it as it's good to give the car a quick blow over to loosen the dirt. 5 minutes later it was still running and i'd got most of the heavy dirt off for free. Winner

I also have offers on ;)

they do both the 2.25 and the 2.5 inch. I sell them ;)

not normally too bad. s**t bolt design though, and the lack of space can make it tricky to get the socket on straight (which is pretty much what happened to Tony I think)

LOl, was so funny as the bolts came out. Tony was on the phone to Jay describing the way the first bolt was putting up a fight, then i just called out "1 out!" "2 out" "3 out" in the space of about 2 minutes 4th one took a minute or 2 longer. Can't describe the satisfaction when you...

I'd be surprised if he jet washed it AFTER rebuilding the top end. I'd personally do it before to make it a nicer job to do, or just jet everything while it's off. Having said that, it could have been done, and would cause the symptoms you have

That's one method that i've also seen done. it's not bad, but the trouble with doing this sort of work in the car is, if you so much as slip and drop a collet, you're in a world of trouble. I have an attachment for pressurising the cylinder and holding the valves shut with an airline, but I've...

as already said, buy a stealth and sell the current one as a whole

using the correct genuine shaft for the car? there's 5 different shafts for each side available depending on the specifics of the vehicle

proper ;)

I told him to keep it, but he still has the dolomite and the 200sx, and he wants a diesel for commuting now

One of my good mates selling it http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2328927.htm

There is an itb manifold available so you can fit jenvey bodies. Good engine!

The belt sits in grooves. The grooves are not in the center of the pulley. The above is fitted correctly

I've seen it. The car i found it on had had a new cat the previous year too

Half the rev range and half throttle for about 10 minutes.

That's a seriously strict limit!!!! doesn't surprise me in the least that it's hard to achieve. Seriously rich sounds like quite an over-statement though. Remember it's not that long ago that cars didn't run cats and the MOT CO limit was 3.5%. If you have a big exhaust, you're probably just...
