Re: Project 172 **** Update page 7 -ITB'S **** funny you should mention that....

oh and avoid MCE (M.C. Edwards) like the plague

that was my point. no way is that a specialist or dealer price. And no-one who knows what's involved would touch it for that

that would make such an epic signature picture

probably think it's an E7J

valve head is smashed off and embedded in the piston, whic has in turn cracked clean in half

oh and Liverpool Victoria used to be very good for mods. There's always Adrian Flux too.

that's not a 60% rise, it's a 150% rise!!!!!

I'm fitting another, and INSISTING on full belt kits.

whenever you need it you little chunky monkey

20p? LOL that's a valve head!!! and it's cracked the piston clean in 2

probably would have been ok, but someone put a new belt on it and tried to run it :(

you wont get any real benefit without mapping, it'll be wasted potential, and not really for the engine. I dont hold a huge amount of faith in the stock ECU from a modification perspective. This statement WILL cause an arguement

A couple of clio specialists

IMO it'll be the lifters at fault, due to bottoming out all the time with your re-grinds

Catcams 421s IF and only IF you have a mapping solution that can sort out the idle. You may get away with a high idle adjusted on the throttle body as it's a ph1, but the stock ECU struggles with the pulses in the plenum on wild cams. Catcams 428s if you want a simpler solution. Personally I'd...

i thought it was about £25 from renault ?? it's the same on all F3P engines, so get down the scrappy

you can re-scale to a point to make it run, but it wont be "right". Different injectors work at different rates, a different spray pattern can change the duty cycle requirements so % changes can be no more than guesses. Void/null time between cycles can be different. Injectors are quick to...

blind em with TLAs. excellent

there you go!. Good point on the waterpump too. it's a vital think to change on the K4M/K4J

sigh Belt kit alone will be over £100 (more like £130) then there's the aux belt, about £15. then it's going to be about 3-4 hours labour. remember there's special tools for doing renault cambelts, it's essentially the same job as on a 172 cup.

yes aware of that. I was refering to the bit where it was dinked, but that's been clarified

where abouts are you? there's plenty of reasonable places about the country

think i answered this the other day??? About £300

car is 95k, though as i say it's a ph1 engine, so i'm unclear if it's the original

totally stock

nope, but the top edge of every bore is dinked quite badly and the head is scrap due to the valve stem punching a nice hole. Looked like it's not been serviced in a long time too. and it's a ph1 engine in an 02 plate ph2 which is weird

well the quick top-end rebuild the car came in for isn't going quite to plan

because you NEVER go backwards across the grass
