ek4 is a vti/sir (vti being top uk spec, sir being top spec jap car bth fitted with b16a or b16a2 dependant on age) ek9 is the type r and type r only
you get a prefacelift like the one above, a facelift and the last of the ek9's were type Rx's which was the facelift shape but had some extra...
You mean a facelift? only problem with that is it's a whole front end, bumper headlights wings bonnet and grille! He doesnt like the facelifts lol he is old school! says the Rx's came with metal pedals, red stitched gear knob, remote locking and were made in 00 (couple of other minor diff's)
me and my mate went a blast since it was a nice day, gave mine a quick wash before we went, CTR had a good detail as its up for sale (pm me if anyones interested or watch for the add coming on Piston Heads)
anyway....
comments, questions?!
not in theory or reality!!
rs manifold flows marginaly better, your re working it to make it flow even better so your not going to get any more gains when worked with an RS than you would get with a normal one.
never driven one but i know from word of mouth that the clutches arnt best on them, only advice ive ever heard about the clutches on them is ONLY use genuine renault clutch cables. do you know if its ever been changed or replaced with a oem replacement?
not red, i hate red calipers unless they are brembo of course! blue as long as it was a perfect colour match to the car. dont know if that could of blue with black wheels would pull of yellow! maby with huge calipers and 300mm disks it would!
if your needing to keep the gate lifted up to get into first and 2nd then it sounds to me like your linkage needs re adjusted or an engine mount is completely gone.
as for the op, change the gearbox oil first see how that goes, how many miles has it done on the current oil?
is it only on...
looking good as usual mate, i gave you a wave the other day when i was coming out the shell garage in springkerse in the 172, wasnt sure if you saw me or not though just noticed you at the last minute
we have a few from cliosport but none in stirling anymore, most of the guys from this area have moved onto bigger and better things but i still keep in contact with them. we usually go out in the cars on sunday nights if were going out. usually me in my 172 and my mates cars Red mazda rx7...
not sure yet, ive always liked having 2 cars but cant justify both a 172 and a 197 and theres no way i could get rid of the 172! so looks like its a no for now!
EDIT: just saw ur above post lol not got dark tints has it? donnas old one?
yeah spoke to alan a few times about the change but i always end up chickening out!!
most of my mates have japanese busses running 300-400bhp which i cant afford to run so it needs to have a good chassis to help keep up, just worried the 197 wouldnt be as quick, what sort of torque do they...
its a brand spanker so doubt they're going to let me take it out, ill give them a phone monday morning see what they say!
nimbus with the black rubbing strips and black mirrors, black wheels. looks the tits!
only other thing thats getting my mind going is 14k, my mate paid less than that for...
been into arnold clark stirling and saw a brand new 197 cup in nimbus and cant stop thinking about changing the 172 for it, only thing im worried about is how its going to be compaired to my 172 struggling to find anywhere with a demonstrator to try one and im not a fan of the 200
so whos...
double check the gearbox code but i think it will be the same 5 speed box used in the MK2 DCi 100 clios, rated to 200nm torque. will take more than that though if used carefully!
disagree to be honest, i ran 188bhp at the scottish RR day on the same day standard 172s were running 160-170bhp and 182s running 170-180bhp, 225bhp focus ST ran 220bhp too
