I've had a 205 gti (same caliper) do that before and it never worked the same again :( clockwise is correct, it should just go onto the thread with a little pressure at the same time as turning (a special tool is available)

that's utterly awesome!!!!! I think the colour works TBH. So 80s

sparkplug sockets are sized strange. They're 5/8 technically too, not 16mm

:) I've only touched them in Lagunas, megane 1, and a couple of clio 2

please lower it, those arch gaps are upsetting me

can't make that call over the internet. I think it'd be worth your while getting a tow to Birchdown as they're your nearest specialist

I'd argue that point, and isn't it only the very latest (as in this year) 1.4 and 1.6 that even have vvt??? I know the few 1.6 (k4m) that i've worked on havn't had it

sounds like you've seen cars with Eaton blowers fitted. Rotrex superchargers behave very differently

swings and roundabouts. Power will help you overtake quicker and safer, brakes and suspension will help you deal with the corner that's approaching a lot faster after the overtake, due to more power. A balance of both is the key to modification. Very much agree on the 5-7bhp gains

I'll repeat myself then. IT DOESN'T FIT. The inner joint uses a very different boot to the outer on a ph2 172/182

dont work, dont fit, wrong sort

ph1 uses a 1 piece shaft, not a split shaft. The inner end on single piece shafts is different, and there's a replacement boot kit available I believe

works perfectly well. Just drop to a 40 profile and you'll keep a close to std rolling radius, and wont have extra sidewall wobble

That's down to buying the wrong shocks IMO. If they dont have camber adjustment, they should be cheap enough that you can buy camber bolts. Any thing I'd spec, comes with camber adjust as standard

It's definitely not the same as the renault one

rev counter might be an issue. PH2 uses CAN. not sure if you can totally bypass that

no idea on a diesel. Best off asking Steve (SBV116)

Birchdown would be your nearest specialist I think

LOL. OK, i'd say i've done roughly 80 of these, you're really simplifying it a hell of a lot, and that's why it's so common for the job to be done wrong.

just means the non cupped ones are even cheaper due to less demand. Bonus

why would you bother with upgrading suspension, and not having camber adjustment? Camber changes with adjusting the ride height, adjustment is imperative My personal opinion is, if you're planning to mod the car, a few optional extras are over-ridden. There's so little difference anyway in...

WTF, erm, it's NOTHING like a clutch

just a completely different hose. You can leave the canister there if you're worried about tank breather fumes, wont make any difference, just leave the pipe off to the engine. all you'll need then is a piece of hose, and a bung (bolt will do the job) and a couple of jubillee clips, OR just use...

not in the mk2. it's a k4m

would the fab guy be Chris (goes by "northern chris" on forums) ?? Equal length driveshafts would defintely be better, i think you'll struggle though, the space is restrictive to say the least

there's your problem. IMO that almost doesn't exist :( bought in 3 once and all had early signs of splitting. An new one from renault is the only way to go, or you'll keep having the same problem

did you fit a new one or a good used one?

ROFL, what a lot of tosh. Your plugs must have just been shafted to start with. A £10 set of NGK BCPR6ES would have done the same

Simple enough in this case. Keep the 172 manifold, block the carbon canister takeoff and bin the canister, and the rest goes straight in
