that front needs to come up about 20mm lol

they have been painted silver at some point by a previous owner this ones a keeper going no where lol

cheers ill keep an eye on this, probably just remove it ive removed it on my previous cars, plus make my aluminium bonnet even lighter ;)

cheers for all the comments guys! it hides away most of the time in the garage, just bring it out on a nice day! needing a few wee bits n bobs before im 100% happy with it, we'll need to get a meet up and get some pics when ive got it the way i want it, i found your car on google street view...

probably pick up a bottom end for £150 swap them over one weekend with new cambelt sorted!! there was a thread that had the size differences, was that guy with the mk1 clio with the K4M in it that knew cant remember his name

both mine snapped i had to wait 3 months for genuine renault ones as none of the patern part ones fitted even tho they listed 2.0 172/182 i paid about £90 supplyed and fitted for both but that was about a year and a half ago

about the going rate for a main dealer i suppose but you could get it at a specialist/private garage for about £350!

yeah quite happy with it, i beleive i need to go heavyer with the lacquer to get a more shiney finish but its all a learning curve, dont think ill be painting cars any time soon lol but for something like this it turned out fine!

my heap

was bored so decided to go get some paint etc and do my engine cover pearl black, now im no professional painter, infact it was my first attempt but quite happy with how it turned out, just need some more practice and a spray gun for my compressor would be handy!

i sold a 190bhp 172 for a dci100 lol, not that quick out the box but remap them and they fly!

the beast with the new fuel system lol

gearboxes arnt an issue, anyone who tells you they are doesnt own one lol. check for snapped handbrake cables, rear disks on these so check these (about £160 for a set of rear disks and bearings) ensure it pulls right to the 5k redline (it wont be great over 4.5k but it should still pull) and...

is he supplying the clutch?

to change to the 1.6 ecu would require the ecu coded to the car so really your cheaper just mapping the 1.4 ecu that way your getting a better map than the 1.6 plus less cost!

i find the opposite, it handles fine for fast road use and the standard setup can take the extra power.

k4m bottom end should bolt straight on giving an instant 10bhp and more torque id have thought! not that its that quick but cheap easy power since engines pop up cheap, just map the 1.4 ecu.

in my opinion yes assuming you can fit it yourself, wouldnt pay to have it done.

if the 1.4 throttle body is the same as the 1.6 then yes it will fit, its slightly bigger which in theory will give you a bit more air especially if paired with airbox/filter mods, not sure if you will notice it or not tho.... just stick with your standard airbox, remove the resonator and use...

either that or clutch release arm has poped out of place maby?

sounds possibly clutch cover or cable related if its lost its springyness!

doesnt matter what car your fitting it to. im not aware of anyone that make them for the newer style linkages matey.

thats a ph1 172 airbox, they have 2

avoid techni clutch they are cheap clutches painted red and sold as uprated, they are even worse than valeo, which are fine even when running quite a bit more power

150bhp a very expensive target for a k4m. id go back to standard airbox, remove the resonator, run a feed from the airbox to the duct at the front of the battery, 2.0 f4r laguna throttle body, exhaust manifold (supersprint do one but what about the twingo RS? that one may fit) decat or sports...

mint when we having a ph1 meet?!

182 manifold, cant wait to get another for my ph1

we had a 55 plate 1.2 16v expression mk3, after selling it at 95k/2 years it didnt have one rattle, was still put together perfectly, still felt brand new and tight to drive. engine was making an extremely loud whine that renault had it in for 5 times and were un able to cure, it snapped a...

id be checking the cable and pedal, i done 140k on a standard 1.2 16v clutch lol

as above, got a set of 172 sunvisors for the dci 100 ut cant work out how they are wired? (im no electrician lol) any ideas assuming they come from the interior light?
