Re: Lamber sensor help. decat Lambda where did you get a decat without threads for the lambda sensor?

If it's the newer kit it's much easier than that. No loom cutting at all. just plug in the ECU to original loom, add the TPS adaptor loom, and bolt all the bits on. Hardest part is changing the pedal for a cable one, and that's not really hard.

only about £8 price difference to renault. ONLY use genuine. that one you've posted is the bendy one TBH for the price of the tool, just pay to have it checked

Only the very early phase 1's dont have a post cat lambda.

Catcams do them. K4m is a capable engine with good potential for tuning.

It is rather good isn't it ;)

I should mention the arrangement you mention with insuring it as your dads car is illegal also. It's called fronting, and is a form of fraud that's being clamped down on hard

200 is a newer car. roughly 1/3 higher value, and i'd assume there's a relatively low number of claims on Vee's. That's not just a LOT of money to be paying on a 172, that's insanity.

yeah, well you can get even cheaper. I've fitted front pads on my cars in the past that cost £9 (i removed EBC greenstuff as they were dangerous)

Seriously, Motrio pads, from renault. they're under £20 edit. £19.62 to be exact

you just turned me on like you wouldn't believe. I'm such a deviant :(

just get the cheapest you can find for the rear TBH. Motrio are very reasonably priced from renault and do not use EBC. Ever

i only have the info from my parts guy at renault

dont know the exact issue, but there's a note on the parts system saying to use new rather than refurbed on that shaft

£236 a side for genuine new. Refurbs are available from renault, but there's apparently an issue with the short shaft

no not at all. Lovely engine, just hated on by drifters who are shocked when 100k engines go pop when you turn the boost right up

I think it's appears to be pretty full. We need a 3rd driver though (team 5)

not a lot you can do with the 8v that's cost effective really. You could likely get it to around 150bhp with a lot of time effort and money, but an engine change will give you a better base for upgrading. I do really like the F3P though, so dont discard it off-hand, just dont throw mod money at it.

originally the system came in one piece. If you want to fit a new center section, you need to cut the old system and use a proper joiner. Non genuine exhausts are smaller bore than the originals

you didn't watch the video at all then. That car had an SR in it.

they're 15 inch Ph1 172 OZ F1's mine's not exactly standard though

the head on that australian car had a lot of port modification to make the manifold match. Just bolting the inlet on would make it pretty aweful tbh, as the 830 head has much larger inlet ports

they do, and they're generally crap. there's actually 4 parts you need to purchase Cam alignment tool sprocket locking tool sprocket locking tool adaption kit for VVT crank locking pin That will set you back around £160

clue in the name ;)

agree with that whole-heartedly. There's a lot worse boxes out there than a JC5 With regard to the 205 gti comparison, that box is the most joyful bucket of bricks you'll ever use. I heart BE3

OOOH RSI thread!!!! Mine

NO No, it's not. You can't remove the rocker cover without removing the cam pulleys FFS. and ALL the pulleys are non-keyed.

The bloke is on drugs. He clearly hasn't got a clue how the engines in these cars go together. Dont let him touch it

they dont usually rub from just springs i have to say. I've had to bend the bracket you mentioned before to stop things catching when coilovers have been fitted and set low.
