I would have bought a Focus RS but I've always had Fords so having a break from them. The Clio was the best all rounder for me in terms of price, features, handling and with the 230bhp turbo kit fitted it shouldn't be too slow either. It retains the aircon and at the price I've sorted its nearly...

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in the flesh

Spot on for fast road imo. Just fitted a set I bought off here and I'm very happy with them. Alternatively if your shocks are good the Cooksport springs have had some very good feedback when paired with Cup dampers

Good tyres and rear ARB. I'm tempted by 4 pots too, specifically the 295mm kit by Jamsport. Not bad for £700 tbf

Gave it a clean and fitted some clear side repeaters Harnesses look good Emma :)

Can I fit the cup wishbones and front roll bar to my Ph1 172 to increase caster and roll stiffness?

Haha! I'm not sure if they will take it out of the car or not tbh. I never asked with mine as I was taking the box out myself. Maybe worth asking though.

With their bare hands, yes

Reprofiled cams don't make any more noise, they are fine. No different to any other cams up to a point and then the hydraulic lifters can't cope with how much material has been removed from the cams, then you need solid lifters. But there's nothing wrong with reprofiled cams :) I've seen...

How well do these run on the standard ECU and does anywhere do a remap for them?

Try www.gears.tv they done rebuilds for me previously for £200 and sort collection

I was considering these instead of a set of AD08 being £20 cheaper per tyre in 205/50/15

Anyone tried these? http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?details=Ordern&cart_id=1143852.110.8623&typ=R-219051&ranzahl=4&Breite=195&Quer=50&Felge=15&Speed=V&weiter=60&Ang_pro_Seite=20&sort_by=groesse&Transport=P&dsco=110&sowigan=So They are available in 205/50-R15 for £79 too

The guy I deal with has done a couple of F4R heads, and the reply on gains were, and I quote. "12 bhp on a standard engine and 18 on a modified engine on ITB's" I'd be interested to see the before and after graphs for those engines. On my zetec the biggest difference I noticed apart form the...

I ran a Pipercross airbox on an old engine of mine. Worked ok and helped keep the noise down too

Yes, although for the rpm range most road cars work at I doubt the 4-2-1 will restrict top end but it will help mid range. That's why I'm tempted to change but are the gains worth it. Renault obviously thought it was worthwhile having spawned the 182 but how much of that is down to the manifold...

Well if flow is anything to go by there are significant improvements possible http://www.cncheads.co.uk/?p=777 On the Zetec engines I'm used to tuning I've had 12bhp increase at the wheels in back to back testing with 270deg and 10.8mm lift cams. The F4R runs a decent duration and lift so I'd...

What is the bore through the entire system then? Where does it change?

Just run the sports cat and order the Yozza stealth then? ;) I've got the twin barrel cat on my Ph1 BTW you confirmed on the phone that the stealth was 2.5" but is that 2.5" all the way through including the boxes and tailpipe?

Not too fussed about ease of changing the cat etc as I'll just get a sports cat but what I want to know is... Is it worth fitting the 4-2-1 for power/torque gains? With either the 4-1 or 4-2-1 I will fit a sports cat so which is best; the 4-1 with a sports cat or the 4-2-1 with a sports cat?

Excellent. Plenty of threads left I take it?

Are longer bolts required for 5mm rear spacers?

Why's that? It was replaced 10 months ago and its done 5k miles. The service interval is 5 years or 72k miles. Fair enough if its been on a couple of years....

I've got the same problem, sounds lovely and smooth from cold but once its warmed up it sounds like a really smooth diesel. Ok when I rev it up but warm idle just doesn't sound right and it's not the tappets. I had my belts changed at Renault in April last year and its done about 5k since. Am I...

R1-R on ears for £234

Worth selling a set of B14s for?

Thanks Fred, I'll give you a call in the week

Until I go turbo I'm looking at getting a spare head ported and polished and get some spare cams reprofiled by Piper cams or get the Prima racing cams. However I'm unsure of what remaps are available to go with the head and cams. Can you live map the Ecu?

I'm interested in the 172 Yozza stealth system and was wondering if there are any pictures or videos knocking around?

Are they still available new? The yozza website doesn't work.
