I take it before you've imediatly turned to the expensive options you have chaked the simple ones, dizzy cap and arm, leads, plugs

Yes

Thats what i suggested :) Also give swapping the ECU a go

Bremob discs have 2 wear indicators on them one is shallower than the other, when it gets level wiht one you need to think about replacing them, and when it gts level wiht the 2nd one you need to replace them

You wanna be HARDCORE like Winston, and just run a manual rack

Speedo is off anyways, about 5 mph or so ar 60mhp, it reads you are doing 60 when you are doing 55 by GPS. When my tyres FINALLY arrive i'll be running the same, well 205/45V15 on the front, and 195/45V15 on the back

"A fine example of a 172 with a few monor performance mods renault should have done" Hang on!!! Renault pay loads of peoepl with loads of fancy letters after their names to make their cars go fast, if they put an enclosed airbox on there, i recon its on there for a reason. Its a...

Ask him if you can bring it back if its the wrong part, if its already off the car and you aren't an arse towards them they are usually pretty accomodating

I've heard good things about power boost valves, more so from people in the know rther than idiots that think they know what they are talking about (not calling anyone an idiot)

They might even have put the wrong plugs in, i know when i brought my car it had 3 different types of plugs in it:eek:

Thats a good point about the hub spacing actualy, hadn't thought of that. TBH i haven't ever looked at the hub that closley to see whether the bearign carrier is seperate. Measure yours and go wiht that info, ideally if you can take the hub off your car and take that in.....

Never had that problem yet, guess i'm not using my brakes hard enough:o

Clio Cup racers used to runa green, open filter IIRC. Other then that i would go for panal filter in orignal box, or a BMC CDA

Sounds like either ECU, or lack of fuel

No difference, infact you might even get an advantage

So you just aren't running the PAS pump? Suppose thats easier then fitting a manual rack

Motorsportworld are about teh best i;ve found for suspenion, best prices too

Yup, and its a pain in teh ass tryign to hold the fly wheel to stop it turning, when i removed the last one, i just used an impact gun on it, prolly not the best choice of tools, but the bottem end had a nasty oil leak, and i didn't car about it anyways

The hub nut Nick has will fit all cars. Any ball joint seperator, will need it to seperate the track rod end, they are about a tenner. The specialist tool for taking the hub off the driveshaft is called a hub puller, again only about a tenner from halfrauds. Which side are you doing, the...

Waterpump, thats hte only thing in that area tbh

Ditto, well a fiver for 2, that includes me 'disposing' of the old tyres

Yeah you have, put dents in your bonnet?? Well known problem wiht the Gaz coilovers. Edde should be along soon, he had the same problem....still has iirc

T-cut is a mild cutting agent, very mild. White spirit will have no effect other then to strip the wax etc off the paint, as car paint is cellulosedbased, not oil based. G40 is another cutting agent, unsure as to what grade it is, the grading system they use f**king jumps around all over the...

Obvously 5mm on the mk2's, ont he mk1's go for more, after all williams track is 15mm wider iirc

You'll ahve a kob finding a de0cat for that car. You won't loose acceleration, you just won;t gain alot, its more top end where the gains come in

TBH the best bet is to find a powerflow dealer, then they fit perfect, i've got a scorpion back box and a straight through powerflow centre section, fits alot better then the scorpion jobbie

Once i can get down and get the hub off i can send it out that same day. Earliest i'm looking at is being able to get down Sunday

The arse end is that low i bet he has to put on full locl to try to compensate for the understear around corners. Can tell its designed for going slow and looking 'good' If you want a decent mk1 look at Winston's

Also, for the record bhp gains from a de-cat are minimal, liek anything you do to the exhaust system etc, you will get max gains if you have it chipped, but again this is turning a £35 de-cat (well it is from me), into a several hundred quid mod

Oh dear oh dear. You onyl need to upgrade your alternator if you have a very big install, and if you do putting extra strain on the engine will be the last of your worries as the car will weigh that much. Often in old cars if the battery keeps runnign flat it can be ndue to a dodgy battery or...
