    ph1 172 or ph2 172

    doesn't look like a big blue lump of crap with a steering wheel

    Ph1 172 on TB's

    box life is all down to how it's driven. Dump the clutch everywhere on super sticky tyres and you'll break it with standard power.

    Project S13

    OMFG you've still got the hot start solenoid connected!! get rid of that as soon as humanly possible

    ph1 172 or ph2 172

    Ph2 is a better standard car, with a nicer interior. A ph1 is a better starting point for tuning, and they look better IMO

    best diameter exhaust 197

    exhaust made 0bhp difference on the throttle bodied 197. Wouldn't unichip it. The stock ECU doesn't work perfectly with piggyback systems, it adapts and reverts

    Cams, Dephaser or problem?

    worth hooking up an oil pressure gauge to see if there's anything unusual there. Should be able to tell if it's VVT related by unplugging the solenoid and seeing if that changes where/when the noise occurs. Noise is normally when it's off, so if it's still noisy after the switch point with it...

    Strange rattle from engine

    oh THAT left LOL. check your ECU mounting bracket

    Cams, Dephaser or problem?

    less total lift than any of the catcams (even 420s which are near standard), but there's no lift at TDC figures so it's hard to compare. Worst case if you leave it, you'l wear the cams out, fill the engine with swarf, ruin the bearings and it'll go bang. Not everso likely though

    Cams, Dephaser or problem?

    No idea what piper grinds are. Go 421s if you can get it mapped for them, which should be ok on cable throttle

    Total Seal rings...????

    I've fitted them in a turbo engine intended to run 2bar of boost, to reduce the worry of blow-by. Wouldn't bother on N/A personally, especially if there's no issue to start with. Disturbing it will cause problems not solve them

    Cams, Dephaser or problem?

    Your cams are re-grinds I understand. Could be that the lash adjusters (lifters) are now worn by running at their travel limit for a while and they've started to get noisy

    Strange rattle from engine

    that's the belt end. You could have seized tensioner and the aux belt is flapping about

    removing wheels

    kick the tyre (not with your toe!!) a couple of times, that should loosen it up

    how can i tell if i have damaged topend, valves etc

    sounds like it's hitting when the vvt switches. The cambelts don't jump teeth, but when something causes an obstruction the pulleys can move as they're only a friction fit

    Another cambelt thread... from a nooby

    Well said. To be honest, most specialists should charge a premium over renault because renault get it wrong, but everyone is significantly cheaper.
  19. S

    So. I gave in and bought a DC2.

    that's stunning. I really want one, but they're daft money compared to anything similar. They dont seem to lose it though

    Doing A CamBelt Myself (Any Advice).

    I did the same. I may be up for making a couple if there's any demand

    Doing A CamBelt Myself (Any Advice).

    you sure that's the right TDC pin? I got quoted £26 +vat, so i got a lazer one off ebay for £8

    renault clio rsi 1.8 spec

    rsi is quite narrow and the handling is quite a bit worse than a valver. Still a decent car though. I'd quite like one, the F3P is a great engine

    Bullshit The injectors are almost on their limit as standard

    any1 know where i can pick a ph2 172 engine up?

    Specialist breakers in Accrington. MATT BLACK on here

    172 vs GTi180....?

    the 307 xsi is a MUCH better car than the 206. OK it's a bigger car, but it's reasonably quick, and the handling is great. The 206 is an aweful car in every guise

    Renault Cambelt Chnage Cheap price?

    sorry, yeah K4J. Personally wouldn't EVER go to renault. But that is a decent price
