this sort of thing happens all the time. had it before with an escort rs turbo with full mongoose exhaust, then with an impreza sti with full decat and h&s jap style backbox, which was LOUD! noise annoys people at the end of the day, it annoys me, seagulls waking me up annoys me, noisey...
you can get all of the parts i mentioned in my post second hand on here, in fact its what iv done, i modify all my cars, its my hobby. makes me laugh everyone posting figures they got on rr's, everyone on here goes on about how inaccurate theyare, how if your car makes 170 standard the rr is...
just scanning through some posts on here from people with them fitted, ie nick172cup, who gained 10bhp and some torque, for £1700. im sorry, but why bother? "it feels so much nicer to drive" is this trying to justify to yourself youve just spent £1700 on a few ponies and a bit of torque? the...
saw u on track, sounded great, what spec is it??? was a good day apart from knockhills usual s**t weather, was lovely in edinburgh as well couldnt believe it when i got up there. some great cars on track and some amazing fords on display.

just do it yourself mate. did mine today on my ph1, 800 and 1200 wet and dry from halfords, bit of elbow grease, then machine polished using megs scratch x . came up a treat.
redline!? no thanks, stopped buying that s**t along with max power etc about 15 years ago. would much rather read about it on a thread on here than troll through the s**t in these mags.
just goes to show that all the scare mongering about cambelts is just fishwives tales. sure some can go but that the luck of the draw. belts can last for years!!!
after my coolent leak and dropping the car off today at rentac automotive they have confirmed it needs a new rad. quoted £212 fitted. part is £115 plus vat, and couple of hours labour. its about £20 more for a genuine renault one. should i bother? car is ph1 172. price seem about right??
i have a stainless system i took off my ph1 172 in my garage, its a stealth system, pretty quiet, no idea what make it is was on the car when i got it, replaced with a ktec supersport. would sell it for say £100 posted.
never thought about water pump, filled the coolent up and couldnt see anymore water dripping underneath, this was with engine off. roughly id say its either just under radiator or just behind the radiator. hard to tell tbh.
noticed at lunch today just as i was getting back to work the temp gauge slowly creeping up above half way, nothing serious it was a hot day, parked car and cooling fan was on. went to work. then on short drive home just as was near house same thing happened again, so i parked up, switched...
