yeah do waterpump 100% on this engine, or else it will leak coolant, mine eventually seazed snappin cambelt.

LOL as title ive got a 1.9 DCi laguna intercooler for the dci god knows if it will even fit without serious modification lol so whats next, assuming injectors, possibly uprated clutch, and a map. its a dci65, how much boost does the standard turbo run, what can it take, what are the...

tiny gains to be had monstly throttle response, dont sound that loud though compaired to some other engines

would be a good torque monster for effortlessly driving quick but wont be that fast! would much rather do a 2.0 16v conversion but at the end of the day that costs a fair bit to do, but by the sounds of it this wont be too cheap either even if you are getting the engine cheap!

standard set up is awesome, well sorry standard dampers with eibach springs, i just want it to sit a tiny bit lower! because its stripped it sits very nose down! but im not paying £900+ just for it to sit a tiny bit lower lol so want the best suspension i can have for under £1k really! AST is...

smash window if you have windscreen cover, £60 excess and wont loose your no claims!

connector onto the starter motor, had a look at a 1.2 16v doing this last week, was a corroded conector going onto the starter motor, i changed it for a new one and was sorted

ahh i see lol, only problem with me getting H&Rs is the fact they go so low, i cant help myself! lol!!! it will be down about 80mm before i know it and i dont want to go down that route lol really interested in bilstein B14 now looking for some views and images of how they sit. cheers

KW V1s are cheaper than both too i beleive? any other votes for them for fast road? just dont want to spend the cash on something to stiff thats worse than standard on your average UK road! as the car is only used for hard fast driving!

diesel p**n.....

sorry to hear it mate but at the end of the day its only a car! ull have plenty more in your life, you only get one chance at life!

as title really? fast road use, dont want something to stiff thats gong to ruin the handling! Bilstein are over £150 cheaper! but dont mind paying for H&Rs if they are better!

just make sure their tight! lol

new tyres? are they different to the ones you replaced john @ progrip was telling me he had a guy with a civic type R who had just had new tyres and springs fitted and then had lazer alignment done, and was complianing about it pulling, got it back up on the ramps and it was spot on but still...

i wouldnt be paying anything over £200 and id want genuine parts for that, its easy on the wee single cam 1.2's!!

ill inspect mine on friday.

lol my 1.2 done this and 1 of my 172 ones were loose

sold it to a mate im sure lol cant remember! and fitting a standard one felt just as nice and smooth but without the vibration!

i snapped my DCi's the other night when i lost the rag and hit it by mistake lol

i ran one on my 1.2 16v for about a year untill it wore the threads on the gearbox and then snapped off taking the cat with it! ran one on my 172 for 6 months, thought it killed the top mounts untill i changed them and then found out it was actually a driveshaft causing the movement not the...

and they'll be watching the mk1 172s chasing all the williams clios! it could go on for ever!

i took mine for a blast with no airbox or filter one day before i changed the engine lol sounded mental!

airbags are for homos

x that by 3 for a decent one!

f**k pissing about with the UCH! you need to get the correct one for your car ie. cant use a low spec car one in a higher spec car, then it needs coded at renault.

ull love the money saving but will miss the revs!!!

if you can fit the manfold yourself then its deffo worth the hastle, ive got a 182 manifold, k-tec decat and k-tec stealth and it pulls VERY well not sure how much labour would be charged for fitting though, that would possibly not make it worth while!

needs lowered, get custom rear springs and we'll lower it even more :p

how about buy a cheaper 172 now, spend the money you want to spend on your car tidying it up ready for next year when you can insure it?

god knows probably end up costing thousands lol wasnt sure how strong the standard internals were so was just gonna play about n see what they could take! fitting wouldnt have been a problem, just make a new alternator bracket to fit the charger above the alternator, get a larger belt to run...
