What subframes are you using? Also any links on where to get them/price Thanks

I have a set about to be fitted, i ideally want to keep the slider on the drivers seat, but heard they are not that great with loads of movement from side to side, anyone else experienced this?

Yeah i had a look at that but unsure if it would work, I'll ned to phone them really

Im planning to carry out a meg 225 engine & box conversion into my 172cup, i have a complete donor car but have a few questions: Whats the best way to to go with management so everything still works as it should, in regards to the speedo etc? Also is the only way around the servo issue to fit...

Well its a no brainer, only 500 notes, just get it done, they lack power so will make it more exciting to drive

Looks like this will end up a decent spec car once complete, is 270 brake gonna be good o the standard box, also where you ordering your boost bits from?

Contact catcams first to see what they say, pretty sure it'll be standard settings

Seems to go well, be very difficult to not drive the car hard, everywhere ha

The most it would require would be the bores to be honed i would guess, but even thats requires a strip down, everything else should be fine, as steve says get a boroscope down there is the first thing

Looks excellent, neat and tidy which makes a massive difference, so its just exhaust/map then your away is it? Would you do it again haha, i need meg power, think I'd be happy with everything just need to lòok at wiring

Thanks think its something I'll need to look at again

How is it now, all symptoms gone?

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...
