just cut and weld on the k4m flange?

got another couple of hours on the van today. Managed to swap over the 182 brake master cylinder, ABS System and the brake lines and calipers then the lower arms, hubs and discs. hoping tomorrow to get the 182 ARB swapped over then bang the engine back in. The plan was to rebuild it replacing...

no factory fitted alarm, no window etching, no locking wheel nuts is usually the giveaway

That 182 I'm re shelling into the van is a heap but I thought at least it's low miles at 60k, until I realised it's got a 172 breather setup, damn.....

Of the 3x 182s I've owned, 2x had 172 engines, one was a heap and one was a minter you would never have expected. And ironically of my 4 172s, 2x had 182 engines!!

I wouldn't imagine it would be too hard, ive never seen both side by side but id imagine the subframes are the same/similar so it would just be a case of swapping the engine, box, driveshafts, suspension, hubs, brakes/master cylinder and ABS then the rear beam over, depending on if there is a...

In that case it might have been an update list from factory sorry I thought you said it had a tuner list previous. 54plate is right around the changeover my 1.6 16v was a 54 plate facelift and had an update list cabasse

as above if you have a tuner list you can only use tuner lists, and vice versa

Love a black ph1, miss mine! Can't beleive it's still running the standard exhaust!!!

not bad, yeah be interesting to see what different ratios were available as I know both our dci 90 clios had a different ratio box from each other lol

they are spot on for VW stuff especially APR as they are putting quality maps on. I was looking to have my new DCi Clio remapped, the wifes car was done by Superchips via Bluefin but they don't support the Euro6 ECU in the facelift cars yet, I done loads of research on where to get it done and...

quality, love it! appologies I dont know a great deal about them is this one of the RWD ones or were they FWD by this point? go well for a bit barge? easily tuneable?

good work, how much difference did the 5th gear change make at 70mph?

seems EFI is about the closest highest regarded place. Ive used EcoTune who advertise that they should be able to do a job like that but tbh id rather upload a TomTom map of Belgium to my ECU than one of their maps after my experience getting a STANDARD car mapped.

my guess was its an import so has an aftermarket alarm fitted

Too much for something I don't watch! think im £90 or there abouts for a TiVo V6, 200Mb Broadband and a phoneline with no phone socket in the house lol going to phone them tomorrow and go Internet only

be purely cosmetic hitting a deer, that could be a bargain to buy back and repair.

If course I've heard of it, and driven one but very rarely do you hear of it mentioned much, I remember on here there was about 100 of the previous ones, every forum you went to people were getting them, but these days everyone just seems to speak about m140, A45, focus, Mégane, golf, civic etc...

couldn't have put it better myself, if I had the choice of my 220 trophy vs my 200 cup, 182 trophy, ph1 172 etc etc id take the 220 trophy every day doesn't matter if it was a B road blast, track day, commute to work, motorway cruise, doesn't mean the previous cars were bad, they were fanstastic...

Everyone complained about it because they don't like change, it was too much change at once, turbo over NA, 5 door over 3 door, auto over manual I get reminded on Facebook memories every year around about the launch date of how outraged I was and how I would never swap my 200 for a 5 door auto...

Nothing new there though is there? 197 Vs 200 225 Vs r26 MK1 V6 Vs MK2 V6 When do they ever get it right on the first attempt lol

I believe you should have had extra caster lower arms from the factory, weren't they were introduced for the 172 cup and everything from 172 cup on words had them?

to be fair minus the gash wheels it looks reasonably tidy! if it was 3k lol front bumper has been painted too

Struggling for time as always! but was day off today so started to tackle the F4R, it had 15yrs and 65k of grime on it so stripped it all down, got the PAS and aircon pumps off it as im not using them, got the top end all painted up, need to get a shot of a Dremel to prep the bottom end and...

I have at least 5 times a week im thankful for the kangoo lol

id love to build one next but ive got a feeling 3x vans and no cars is getting a bit obsessive

I used to get low 40's in mine going up and down from Scotland to Manchester for work and that was at 70-80 most of the way on my fast morning commute mostly motorway and B roads high 20's, always in race, not that it really makes any difference to economy

coming from the guy with the 19yr old clio van, I couldn't drive that!

you think so? After 12 RS Clio's, every one since the ph1 172 (excluding the V6 and original 200 EDC) I thought the 220 Trophy was light years ahead of them all, enjoyed it more than any of them hands down, the only car I properly miss tbh!
