    Gears in wrong position on gear stick

    Your better off setting it up in the neutral position with a assistant mate. Allow the gear selector at the gearbox to go to the neutral position, then get your assistant to hold it in the stick in the neutral position in the car. Tighten it all up and check the selection. That's how I always do...

    Bash's Hillclimb car

    Cheers mate! Well we have options on the seal tbh. If Renault don't have one I can get one sorted out off eBay. Same as the Renault item as well. Sound mate. I'm aiming for it to be done for the weekend or sooner, so I'll keep you posted. :up:

    Bash's Hillclimb car

    Thought I'd upload these pictures in here for Mr bashracing! Here's the gripper pinion along with new 3rd, 4th and reverse gears. This one shows the size of the new gripper diff and crownwheel. This required modification of the gearbox casing to get it to fit! Lol! Then we had a small...

    Lambda sensors

    They're different sizes for the loom mate. The original loom doesn't go all the way to the post cat, as its the post cat that has the longer length lead.

    My new racecar project (Icemans old shell)

    @Russ Rallye wouldn't be the White 197/200 in the reflection would it? If so, I can't wait to see what you do with it! :up:

    You'll need a cup racer item mate.

    Taking hand brake cable out of calliper

    No not if your careful it won't mate.

    Taking hand brake cable out of calliper

    Yeah do it with the caliper still attached. Are you replacing the cables? Pair of pliers and give it a real good wiggle. Spray plenty of wd40 at it and leave it to soak in first though.

    Taking hand brake cable out of calliper

    They can be a bit of a t**t if they're seized in. Usually a good thrashing and a bit of wd40 sorts them out.

    2 different types of Gaz Coilovers, which should i use? different mounting on rear

    The conical spacers are more so that they sit on the landing of the ball mate. If they move enough to require that, it's either the axle bushes or the shell is fucked!

    2 different types of Gaz Coilovers, which should i use? different mounting on rear

    Are they both spherical bearings? Or is the top one a rubber bush? If the top one is a bush and the lower is a spherical bearing, use the lower ones. Less compliance and less likely to fail like the rubber bushes do.

    197 Brembo's vs Wildwood

    ££££'s though unfortunately. Admittedly though, quality costs.

    Rear beam bushes

    I'm on the pms rear spherical bearing kit. Can't fault it tbh and never had any issues.

    Stub Axles

    No. The 182 stub axle has a thicker base to it. They all run the same size rear bearing, caliper and discs though.

    172 Engine and Gearbox

    Your gearbox choices are jc5 089 which is a ph1 speedo drive gearbox with a different final drive. Jc5 129 is also a speedo drive gearbox and is found in ph2 172's and cups. Some have the speedo drive sensor fitted and some don't. It also has a different final drive to the 089. The gearbox that...

    My 2003 DC5 Integra Type R (Bulid-ish thread.)

    Toe in at the rear will help it generate heat in the rear tyres.

    Tom's wide clio - Last ever update, now for sale!

    Back in 2011, he may have been able to answer this question. He's not been on the forum since 2013, so I think you may have s**t out buddy.

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    Interesting. I was told that the 403's needed the different pistons. Not a worry for me though as I'm on the R3 maxi pistons and knobbly cams.

    ClioSport Festival 2016 - Book Tickets Now!

    If this doesn't clash with any of the good 'Ring dates I'll come along I think. Assuming I can convince myself to stop being a lazy t**t and finish the car off of course.

    Stophs flamered turbo build

    I can't believe it! A turbo Clio that isn't being broken up after a few weeks of use! :wink: Nice looking flamer you've got yourself here mate. :up:

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    Honestly, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that you can't run 403's on standard pistons.

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    You'll need to make sure the pistons are pocketed enough though mate.

    Kw v2 coil overs bit soft?

    I used to run v2's on mine and found them too soft for track work. Ideal as a track/road setup though. I eventually went for stiffer rear springs and had the rear dampers revalved to suit. Still not stuff enough! Lol! If you plan on running slicks, they won't be any good I'm afraid mate. Your...

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    Just personal preference. I see it as a lot of faffing for no real world gain if your sticking with the standard inlet. Solid lifters and a 8k plus rev limit, then yeah worth looking at deleting.

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    Yes mate. I wouldn't remove the vvt personally.

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    Well you've got to overcome the belt tensioner if you skim too much off the block. Difficult to say the power output, but maybe 220bhp. Depends on if the pistons will hold out tbh.
  28. NorthloopCup

    197 Head and Internals in a 172

    If your going to all that effort why not stick forged pistons in? The oe inlet will be the restriction as well even with the lairy cams.

    The worst Nurburgring driver ever?

    Lol I'm still 25mph off the speed that Jann Mardenborough was at when he took off at flugplatz. @Knuckles heres the current speed limits and where they are located. Being lifted for 2016 apparently as they're smoothing out flugplatz as 1 of 16 improvements to the circuit for safety reasons.
