Black and yellow, Black and yellow, Black and yellow, Black and yellow,
painted and reassembled my engine today, was so happy with my efforts i thought it could have its own thread! :)
im slightly confused if youre meant to use this stuff or not!
im replacing the Stat housing gasket, Oil breather gasket (£60 from renault! :O ) the waterpump and the sump gasket
i was wondering am i supposed to use sealant as well as the gasket provided, or is that stuff just a bodge some...
Im sure its been covered before, but i did a quick search and couldnt find anything on it!!
im upgrading my brakes to HC discs CL pads and braided lines. i obviously now will need to change my brake fluid. From searches i think im going to go for ATE superblue fluid, but my question is how much...
So ive relocated my battery to the boot, and binned all the metal casing over the ecu so that it can be layed down on top of the gearbox mount like all the other track cars!
my issue is just that i cant find a suitable way of fixing it down!!
just wondered how everyone else has tackled this!
not sure if this has been covered before but i couldnt find anything in the search!!
Just wondering what the legallity was on having a sinlge wiper centrered in the middle of the windscreen? Obviously its illegal to have your vision obstructed, but does this cover wipers as well??
id like one...
Im aware that you can get an MOT to cover you only for daytime use, and will therefore not need headlights.
my question however is, with a regular MOT, can you remove the headlights and fit headlight blanks, providing youre only driving in the daytime??
Been building a track car out of my ph1 172 while im at uni and dont need a car to drive. Been working on it all easter and this is how it stands now!!

Does anyone know if the aux pulley on the crank from an F7R will fit on an F4R engine??
they seem the same fitament and offset but wanted some advice from someone who knew a lot about both engines?!
the F7 pulley is quite a bit smaller and less bulky and therefore may be a lightweight...
I was planning on putting 1degree of camber on the rear of my track project...
however when i look on the rear, it already looks like this!!
now it doesnt look as much in the picture, but this is quite a bit of camber on the rear.
im dubious about putting any more on the rear in fear that it...

this is the third one of these ive seen!!
first one for a clio was new, and therefore funny/original!!
the second for a focus was so abstract that it topped the first!!
but...
i did a search but it only came up with a dead link unfortunatley!!
so does anyone know where i can get eyelets with the correct size thread to screw them into the b-pillar as the ones i have are a 7/16" thread which is slightly too big!! :(
im basically asking if these will fit a ph1 sport!

please bear in mind that the project isnt finished, the engine bay is a mess and the engine is still yet to be removed,
and the interior hasnt even been touched upon yet!!
however from the exterior, its pretty much what its going to look like once complete!!
i just thought id take a few snaps...
What does the little plug (not the big red wire) on the alternator do??
is it meant to only have a single wire coming out of it?
on my ph1, its a two pin connector, but only has a white wire coming out of it, it also has what looks like a green wire that has sheered off right as the base of...

but buying this would mean a fancy new fully stainless steel manifold,
has anyone used or read...
Im sure some of you will remember my previous two projects.

Track mk1
Well as of july this year i hung up my driving gloves for good because i was off to university, i broke up my F7R valver and put the money to one side for my next project, which was always going to be...
So im looking into building my own brake lines in my track car to get rid of the ABS system and have the line for the rear brakes inside the car!
but im not sure on the width of the pipe ill need to use and/or the fitament of the unions!!
does anyone know if theyre all a standard size??

kinda need to know what the spacing is between the bolts on the 172 cup suspension.
ive been told its 54mm just like the regular 172 bolt spacing, is this true??
thanks
Sorry to post up extra threads about this, but would like to get to the bottom of my mounting issue.
can someone please post up a picture of a bare mk2 front subframe?!
from the top, and possibly from the side!
thankyou
The cup race cars and R19 run completely subframe mounted.
as does my mate on his valver and it seems to work very well.
picture above shows how it works, and i wanted to know if it would work on a mk2 subframe!
found this on eBay and thought i would share it with you guys,
looks like a minter! ;)

Are they the same as clio 172 callipers??
its just my local scrapyard will probs charge twice as much for clio 172 callipers on the simple logic that the clio 172 is a rare car (to be found in a scrap yard).
if i can whip them off a megane they will be much cheaper!!
also the same question...
so my valver is coming off the road on the 22nd July, being raided of the engine and interior, and being scrapped. engine will be stored/rebuilt while im on my first year of uni. Then will be dropped into a mk2 ph1 nonsport with a 172 running gear!
So this is a montage of all my favourite...
Ok so i dont plan on driving my valver for a year, after which, i wish to reshell it into a mk2
effectivley, the only thing i really wish to keep from the car.....is the engine and box!!
however, removing the engine and box will dump most of the fluid!!
my question is would it be ok to store...
