:wink: Yep and use a bit of flexi hose to duct the air from the scuttle.

A 1*2 maxogen would be ideal straight off the tb.

I'm not keen on the bend on the tb, but it looks ok mate. Yeah that's the one matey.

Scuttle induction is what I was going to run when I had an rs2 mate. I was going to run my v6 airbox straight off the throttle body, then a length of flexible hose coupled to the williams/16v scuttle induction scoop. Not sure if it would fit, or work for that matter, but it's certainly a good...

Difficult one that mate. The ph1 shafts are shorter, the cup shafts are unique to the 172 cups and I think the 172/182 shafts are potentially the same.

Thanks. It's got to be right mate - if that means it takes years to complete, then so be it. Fire risk as well imo.

Excellent thread revival skills! :smiley:

The solenoid is located on the top of the charcoal canister mate. It just pulls out basically. Leave the wiring connected and cut the pipes. Mine just vent to atmosphere and I have no issues with the tank pressurising etc. The charcoal canister feed pipe is rubber at the inlet end - where it...

Ah ok. Makes sense now! Lol

Bottom pic is an xe/let engine is it not?

Yeah this is it mate. Yes the charcoal canister is gone, but I retained the solenoid to overcome any warning lights. It's all gone though now as I've done a full custom engine loom along with a gen90.

Yeah I hear that a lot from Volvo guys tbf mate! Lol! I'm a Scania master tech and I don't find them bad to work on really.

Can't say as I have seen them tbh mate. I don't really pay much attention to them when I'm out the workshop. Yeah it's keltruck that I work for mate. Unfortunately. West pennine Stoke is around a 40 minute drive away from me. Shame really, but they're all as bad now tbh. Expect everything, but...

Scania main dealer in the Midlands mate. You work for Volvo truck and bus direct or franchise like crossroads truck and bus?

That's one of the things that put me off fitting my fg bootlid mate tbh - the aerocatches. Plus they look huge on a boot as well!

If you have a look on the front of the casing you'll see the model code of the box mate. If it says 'jc5 130' which I suspect it will, then yes it's a 182 box. Possibly an early twin taper bearing 130 box. I'm a truck mechanic as well! Who do you work for?

Looks very neat, nice one! It's a shame that the aerocatches distort the bodywork really as they're ideal in locking form.

That's a nice sized garage you've got there mate! Nice project as well. :up:

They're only there to keep the injector in the rail when removing them. I don't run them.

Yeah they're all rear coilover units mate now and they all have rebound adjustment.

I'd get the 4100's mate. They're almost identical to the 5100's other than they're not inverted dampers.

You can get it corner weighted as is mate - the springs don't dictate this, so if you were getting it corner weighted, I'd have it on the suspension that you intend on running. Otherwise it will cost you twice. I personally wouldn't bother with the b14's. I'd punt them on and put the rest...

Hello @jeremy swanson and welcome to the club! There are a few on here that have fitted Megane 225 engines as well as the vag 1.8T. If you click on 'search' and enter the details your looking for, the majority of it will be found. Happy hunting!

To get the best out of any suspension setup it needs corner weighting mate.

I'm sure it's been stated on here what the billy rates are mate, so it's worth a search. It will combat some, but a lot of that can come from various things - rear roll stiffness, roll centres etc. Also worth noting, the rear controls the front on a fwd car, so you may need to up the rear rates...

Do you know what the original bilstein Spring rates are? You want to be in around 450-500 up front mate, but just be prepared for them to wear the dampers out quicker that's all. We aren't talking within months though, so don't worry.

You'll get away without revalving them mate. Trust me, it'll cost more than it's worth to revalve them -£100+ per shock.

Thanks - it's definitely worth the journey! I opted for the Quaife over the gripper as I got the Quaife at the right price from @Tony Hunter when he upgraded to the gripper.

No worries mate! :up:

No problem mate. :up:
