she's fishing for a ride in it to prove it's not chavy ;)

miss my 205 1.9 loads. Still own it but it's been laid up undergoing major surgery for about 2 years now

agree with mattjk, sounds very much like intermittent misfire that leads/coil/distributor cap/rotor arm would cause

phone us and have a chat to Andy. We're actually working on replacing the original sensor with a different one because it's so inconsistent. Can be made to work, Andy said he'll talk you through :) 01480 860001

doesn't even say what car it's for Daz ;)

yeah give us a call, need to know a couple of application details

out the bottom on the subframe if you can. Not always easy without a 2 post ramp though. I've done it out the top before, working on the floor, and the worst bit is the downpipe and the short side driveshaft (gearbox oil = devils piss)

£30 fine

nope, hurt my back monday night. I'm flat out in pain :(

the "glue" is just butyl tape. you can prise the door cards off once the screws are out

yeah should be easily enough

148 on high speed bowl at Millbrook. quite scary, anything over 100 and you're turning left to stay in lane, and the faster you go the more you're turning the wheel just to stay straight, which is odd

Infinity, JL or RF all day long

most motor factors. I'd look at the condition of the discs first though as they come from renault pre-assembled for a not un-reasonable price

fitted a few sets. Stronger valve springs are intended to prevent the valves floating when using cams with high lift and fast ramp and decline rates at high RPM (ie valve bounce)

love this car

needs lowering and it'd be spot on

dude.....xr2s were never cool

lol, it wouldn't be a new thing, plenty of ECU editing programs available for other marques and have been for years. ODB stuff is just harder to access, not like old eprom chipped ECUs. Harder and not as flexible as standalone though

a lot less likely to crack due to material though, and any good machine shop will supply and fit guides

lol, I'd jump on that. I was looking for one with similar damage before I bought my 205 when my s13 was written off. Dont seem to be many that come up for sale without being fixed

I'll have it!!!!

Cost up for 16 new valves, then if some are ok (likely to be at least 8 bent TBH) it's better than you've budgeted for. Pistons will probably be lightly marked (small dents) but unless you want race perfection it honestly shouldn't matter. Look for bent or snapped springs and any damage to...

Oh I know there's junk out there. I also think standard 172 (not cup) suspension is soft, soggy and aweful. Renault had to compromise so handling suffers in the name of comfort. The rear shocks also leak far to regularly, so the build quality really isn't that great

I hate that arguement. OEM is made to a budget and as a compromise. Plenty of things that are changed without a second thought, but other things "renault know best, they spent millions developing it". Please

and jack the front wheels up and turn from lock to lock. Be aware PAS fluid gets everywhere and it frigging honks

we have a winner. 6x9 = waste of time. all they're good for is bass if you have no space for a sub (and disconnect the mid and tweets)

amen. Utterly awesome. Read some of the early build thread a couple of years ago and forgot about it. What a machine

awesome isn't it :D My mate does it in a 1.6 205 gti. He's on his 2nd shell and 3rd engine after one season lol. Shell number 3 is sat on the front garden waiting for the inevitable

certain facts that are taken as read and repeated then passed on and repeated until no-one knows who came up with the fact but it's still accepted. Then you look at it from scratch and realise the only way to be sure is to find out yourself Stan, I'll get some pics up of the non CNC'd head :)
