This cars doing my head in, its just not running right, thought it was the engine mounts so changed them all and problems still there so trying a few other ideas! if a driveshaft or both driveshafts were shot, would it cause the car to jerk when coming off the throttle or quickly hitting the...

yep but they last 72k and dont need changed every 12k!

GET ON THE FAIL BOAT!!

my old 1.2 16v clio was around -80mm all round, on anything more than a smooth road it didnt handle worth a f**k, fast bends it would bumpskip in the bends. i personally wouldnt be going any lower than -40mm on a 172 unless it was for track only use.

deffo worth it!

its a high performance high reving engine, you can use cheap oil in it if you want, your car, but theres no way id be using tesco oil when hammering my cars nuts in round a track. oilman im sure will come on and back me up with this and the real facts about these cheap "fully synthetic" oils.

its worth the extra to use genuine cables.

wont give any power gain, slightly better driveability.

manifold split or burst at a joint and thast probably why its banging, my 1.2 16v used to do that when the flexi burst.

im sorry but thats a lot of balls ^ i use millars fully synthetic motorsport oil in the 172, changed every 6k and always use genuine filters

19 fully comp 1yrs ncb clio 172 - £1200 done a quote on a 225 today too after looking at one and got quoted £1450

its basically the same engine so would all bolt on fine, its the engine management that would be the problem (and expensive part)

i carefull owner never raced or rallied hehe!! pitty it ended there you were reeling in that porsche! lol

im cutting my original cat down and welding the flanges on so it fits the new manifold for mot time. insurance is covering it no problem.

lol yeah cant wait tbh! NOT lol

yep thats the one matt cheers, i assume thats renault price, do you have any in stock 2nd hand?

never expect miracles with these cars lol, wouldnt be doing it if i was paying for fitting (i beleive k-tec charge around £250 odd quid? and around £600 for the manifold and link pipe!) i got my manifold much much cheaper than that ;)

anyone got the part number and price for the battery tray that the engine mount bolts into? mate just text me to tell me hes sheared the bit the mount bolts into :S

deffo superior for midrange torque which imo is where the biggest gain is needed, possibility of a loss in top end power but should be ok

superior design, got it cheap, easy to fit, so its going on :p
