Hope you get some luck soon, i cant beleive these specislists are struggling to build a fast clio in a matter of months, its all basic mechanics apart from building/mapping the engine, which once its all measured, machined in cleaned etc, should take a few days max to build once you have all the...

He's good but surely that thing should of been scrapped,

If the timing is that far out you should notice the severe lack of power tbh, plugs out and cofirm your at tdc is the easiest and best option

My 172 cup is exactly the same as you describe, again no fault codes and pulls like a train, cam timing is also bang on, I've yet to try and find a solution in other areas but will be looking into.it in the new year, with o bought another Honda ha

Mine went the same, its like the top thread is a locking thread, mine went tight as you describe but did go down further Just had a look at my photos, i have around 6mm of thread showing on each side

The diagram is correct, is the top nut been tightened down? i have a few threads visable above the nut on mine

I'd be on high boost all the time ha, need to get some boost in mine soon, gotta be quick with 285 brake, does it run a lot of torque?

How does the standard box cope with the power? Is the boost switchable?

Tidy car this one

£35 each is a good price, that's what i paid last year

Why didn't you ask if there was anyone on here local to you to help you out, might of avoided all this hassle mate

it must fly now, hopefully the new box can take the punishment

are you sure that bore will hone out? looks like a rebore or scrap but maybe just the photo's, I'd also guess that if the car was running on all cylinders while idling prior to the eml flashing then i'd say that injector has suffered poor spray pattern prior to failure

Have a good look over it before removing the eng/box for any other areas which might be a concern later down the line, nightmare this has happened but as they say, life go's on, it'll be worth it in the end, if a project ever ends

So what we looking at, £3300 drive in/out conversion, and is that with an uprated clutch? If so then its not to bad cost wise

Yes your correct, but you'd still manage to get a socket to bite into it to get it off, it wont be on tight, its barely on a thread, will be easier than cutting it off imo

Just tap a larger size socket on it and it'll come off no problem, its only on by a thread, 2 minute job lol

I've a new set on my cup along with pms top mounts, all other bushes have also been renewed, i find these are very comfortable and for giving considering the state of our roads, I've had spax and avo coilovers on other cars in the past and they were crazy uncomfortable and very crashy no matter...

If you want to make money in the future, use the cash to get some property in your local area, not an overpriced clio

I've just recently fitted a new valeo clutch 400miles ago, but its a fair increase in torque so not sure how it'll last, think I'll just upgrade it to save hassle later on, watched your vid on youtube the other night, looks a nice car, just need ED to get the 20% offer on the go and it'll be...

Whst clutch did you have fitted?

You got a project thread for a look? Id like to get it done but want it to be 100% reliable, i dont do much miles with the car so don't want to be repairing things when i do take it out, its a good low mileage cup thats wanted for nothing, just need more ponies :)

Evening all, Looking to go ahead with boost on my 172 as it simply does not have enough grunt unless you drive it hard, was looking at low boost then the plan is to fit a complete megane set up once money/time allows but may be a few years away (babies/houses are my main issues :( knowing quite...

I seen a thing on here where someone had the same issue, pretty sure ut was fuel pressure/ pump related

good progress, what steering wheel is that, looks good?

Thanks, i thought that was the case but wasn't 100% sure Thanks Nick

Afternoon, When fitting a 225 eng & box in to a 172, would the downpipe for a turbo conversion kit from ED fit? or best to get one custom made, i shall be using the standard servo? also who does everyone use to get their custom shafts made, looking for a tried and tested supplier Thanks again Nick

We've had some crappy weather recently so its nice to see the coilover covers doing their job properly :smile: Don't suppose you remember the length you ordered on the covers do you? Thanks Nick

Can you not fit the outer and inner cv joints to the car without the shafts, and jack it up, then rest it down on its wheels on say four ramps, then you can measure the exact length youll need, you might get away with machining say 5 to 7 mm of each end

i've got the yanoo 1.0 with brass bushes, cheap and works perfectly, not to stiff and very precise, well worth buying
