i took it a blast and it handled spot on considering its not been setup yet and 1 of the rear tyres was a bit low on air!
my old one was just as low and it handled spot on too but down a bumpy road you cant really hammer them too hard!
being an older rsi means it doesnt have a uch does it? were they just fitted to mk2 ph2 > ? so its not quite as much work!
fitting another k4m would be simple and there is tuning out there for them, i beleive k-tec are now doing high comp pistons for them, that would be different but cool! but...

as you probably know they are crap as standard and will probably have fallen off before lol.
i cant find a picture of a standard 172 exhaust but here is a pic of a 182 exhaust, the actual backbox its self looks very similar...
cylinder 3 by any chance? its a common fault, afaik it happens in these engines when the spark plugs arnt torqued properly and cylinder 3 is always first to go.
yep deffo resistor pack, its under the scuttle pannel on the drivers side, ive sorted one by drying it out with a hairdryer, but tried it on another and it didnt work!!
deffo something loose id say as theres nothing internal that i can think of that would make that noise plus it seems its vibration causing it since its only at a set rev band
lol it will run on stuff a lot worse than normal 95ron fuel, renault do recomend 98ron to get the best performance but you likely wont notice a difference unless its mapped for 98ron fuel
yeah thats the one lol, even in arctic it looks awesome haha wont be getting painted till the full cars going in feburary to have the front end etc done
bit more progress today...
fitted both driveshafts, both track rod ends, both bottom arms and removed the front brakes ready for the 4 pots :)
fitted my cup spoiler to see how it looks, awesome! just needs painted now.
the rear bumper was removed and sold as i no longer wanted an exhaust...
followed a 172 cup from perth to stirling yesterday on the way back from the rally, monidal blue, lexus lights (only 1 working), twin exhaust hanging off, anyone from here?
