Bosch super 4's are crap. they are only there to increase service intervals.

nothing, i have used only the engine loom too, but you ideally need the internal loom to work out which wires operate what. i.e decoder ring balh blah!

Yes, but everything is wired thorugh it. I.E ignition switch goes through it, as does the decoder ring.

UCH is the big white thing with f**k loads of realys! You can run the uch, but it means a whole lot more wiring, which is why i cut mine out, and got the ecu decoded. look at this thread here, it gives alot of info! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=209465

NOt much time gone into it tbh, its been quite easy so far, i was suprised how well it went in! Ive been doing this at the side as well as doing other jobs.

Right, before everyone starts slating for running valver managment, i wanted to do it a) to see if it would run, B) to try and escape the dreaded immobiliser issue. Anyway: My nemesis, the F7P engine: The bottom end started knocking like a wood pecker on speed on sunday night, so, couldnt...

The exhaust manifold dictates alot on how much back pressure you have, loss of back pressure will result in a loss of torque.

filled it with grease, then put caps over it.

He said above it was running. So it wont be fuel cut off switch. People have basic knowledge on here, but you seem to have over looked the information given before bitching.

it cant exit over hanging the body, it has to be under the car, and it will pass emissions as all it needs is a cat.

Im one of the last In the club ;)

you'll loose loads of torque using that size piping.

Yea i just read that!

Ahem, i have one of the last mk1's in the southwest now!

Well mine fits with the subby etc on, im running a pas rack but no pas pump. the engine is lighter, so feels like it would with manual steering. Mine is on its wheels now, just waiting for P murray to get the ecu back!

belt is too tight.

It would fit, but you have to change the lambda position, if you look here they are at the right angle and length:

That was at dakota street wars, he was zig zagging up the strip!

Right, i had the cat too, not sure if you do? I cut it off just before the y-pied to the 2 cats and weleded on a flange from another part of the 172 exhaust: then cut the flange off the end of the cat and welded it to another bit of pipe: Only problem with that was that it didnt drop...

I found with my combo that the clutch cable was slightly too short, so ive modified the outer cable to give me more inner cable. havent tried it yet, gotto fit the new clutch pedal.

Where abouts have you moved to kirsten?

Im running a 1.4 box, 172 release fork and cable bracket and valver release bearing.

Why modify the manifold? the manifold fits fine on my conversion. just had to fabricate the decat to midsection.

I had one on my valver, the loss of torque is phenomenal! it was stupid loud too, but the flames made up for it lol, the legal requirement is for it to exit within 6in of the bodywork.

its just the sensor you dont need the loom, buy it froim renault, that will be the cause.

Wiring aint too bad tbh mate, i finished mine today, now waiting for the ecu back from pmurray.

We should be able to have a nice lil photoshoot soon mate, the mrs picks up her 172 friday! and my ecu gets back on thurs hopefully!!

Its alot easier to reach from the top!!! look at where the driveshafts go into the diff, the sensor is on top of the diff housing.

Wasnt my finger, was my thigh! not too heavy, i'd estimate it at 130ish kg as I managed to lift it out of a freelander and onto the floor/my leg by hand lol!

Im assuming youve got a 172 ph1, as it sounds liek the speedo sensor
