Wow! They saw you coming if you paid that much for tracking and two tyres in that size. With that width of rim you want a 195 width tyre. You can get Uniroyal rainsport 2 for £33 per tyre in 195/50-R15 As above the 16" will look better, you could keep an eye out for a set of 172 cup alloys...

Brilliant! Look forward to that. I need to renew my tie rods and rack bushes so I've thought why not do the DCi rack. I'll be fititng the 182 manifold soon with the subframe dropped so it's an ideal opportunity to get it done. Would there be any issue with fitting the rack to the existing...

Enjoying my 205 RSR :) they feel really good and sit nicely on the rim. I've got a couple of photos to upload later.

Mild (uprated inlet cam and standard exhaust cam): Catcams 428 £600, Prima INR £300, GT £400-500. Or you could pick up a used set of Clio 197 cams for £100-150. Bit more aggressive are the Piper BP270, these are reprofiled standard cams with shims. £360 Then Catcams 421, 438 £500, C&B, ED £500...

Well if you want Catcams 428 then Prima racing do the same profile for £295 inc vat They are called INR F4R I think

Despite the longer duration of the C&B the Catcams make more lift at TDC. I'd be inclined to use them

I bought a set of Matt Lewis motorsport/moquip/aeroquip braided lines and took them to my friendly neighbourhood garage to fit along with my ATE blue fluid. However the lines weren't suitable, apparently the flared end is incorrect. They'll do them at a later date with new pipes. Anyone...

Don't powder coat. It'll flake off

Why not use a hard drying stonechip paint on the subframe and then rattlecan the rest.

What cars is this an issue on?

R26 for me

As Dan has said. Squeeze oil out (I use squeeze clamps as they aren't as forceful as a vice). Crank the engine a bit. Doing it this way allows the valve clearances to be set correctly as you can over prime them. Then you can get issues with valve clearances, compression etc.

I have had great success with bike bodies and bike carbs in the past of a few engines. Obviously bodies are required for the Clios due to the fuel injection. I would speak to Dan about an inlet, this is his website http://www.danstengineering.co.uk/ As you doing trumpets the Weber DCOE 45...

Well now there's an even cheaper version!

I was going off the spec of the GT cams on eBay. They are the same as the Catcams 428 which are 272/256 and 11.3/10.25 too

I bet they will!

No they are new blanks

I finally got a reply from Prima racing as to what their cam specs are. It turns out they are identical to the GT cams but only £295!! 272 degrees inlet with 11.3mm lift and 256 degrees exhaust with 10.25mm lift. I believe they give a similar result to the Catcams 428?

Is there anything else I can do at the same time to save time and money? I've got the following parts to fit. Shocks + springs Wishbones Steering rack bushes Front ARB and bushes

It'll probably be as good as the standard Elf Renault 5w40

Not seen the Trident stuff before. I know of the XFS and CFS with the CFS being the better of the two.

Ok cool, thanks for the reply. The gear ratios are pretty good and with it being a 2nd car I can live with it doing 3600rpm at 70 for the better acceleration.

Would a manual JC5 from a Mk1 Laguna F4P fit a Ph1 Clio 172?

Can throttle bodies be mapped on the standard ECU?

What is the standard 172/182 MLS head gasket thickness?

Fred does them for a good price iirc

I made the mistake of going forced induction on my old Fiesta. Before that it was 200bhp/tonne N/A. Not a lot and yes it was frustrating on the straights but overall it was a good fun car. Then I went turbo, only a little bit more power but masses more torque and it ruined the car in all...

Thanks :)

I know how you feel, I intend on doing it when I need a new clutch

Can anyone tell me the length of the standard 182 cat flange to flange?
