loosen rear exhaust hanger, prop exhaust up as high as you can (so its touching the rubber bumper surround as it will drop a bit when you tightnen everything up and let go)
tighten up the rear hanger and if its still sitting to the right then do as the guys above have said
ill decide last minute if the weathers looking good ill go, just doin what i done last year tho, £40 in the dci boost down early sunday morning get there for 9ish day at the show then spank back up the road, f**k taking the 172 on a trip that long lol
thats not genuine renault its an OE patern part, thats the same centre section my 172 got put on it under warranty by the Toyota dealership i bought it from, lasted longer than the genuine renault one and even with the shitty tiny pipework my car still made 173bhp at the scottish RR day lol
since i turned 17 5 years ago i have spent, buying and modifying clios.....
£28,000 LOL!!!
on top of that ive spent £7,000 on insurance and probably twice that on fuel!
you could probably say ive spent around 50k since passing my test on buying, modifying, servicing, and everything...
ordere with hids direct yesterday afternoon about 3ish and just received an email saying they will be here today between 2:10pm and 3:10pm, impressive!!
im bringing the ph1 172 just insured it today thought i was going to have to come and rip up the road in the DC-AYE
anyone fancy meeting at stirling services and heading to showcase to meet everyone else?
na 1.5's are fine, the 1.9s are problematic!
my last one was on 160k odd and as far as i could see was still all original (gearbox, turbo etc) had no service history either lol
mine is on just over 90k now bought it just under 70k
i do a s**t load of miles with work and because i have the cheap to run reliable car my mates are forever pinching it to go down south to pick up car parts etc
yeah ive not got much experiance with anything other than k-tec systems but they just have hangers that go around the box and bolt up so you can move them, im assuming the others are the same!
20k so far on my high boost remap on my 100 with no worries! apparently renault gearbox's are w**k but ive only had 1 fail in the 420,000 miles my mk2's have done and the one that failed had done 150k on the gearbox oil lol
it was working when removed from the car about 2 years ago, ill have a look it was in my 172 manifold i dont know if i gave that back to joe or not tho when i sold the car
my last dci 65 done 160,000 odd miles and never let me down apart from a gearbox going (turned out the oil wasnt replaced at 72k like it should have been!)
my dci 100 remaped to 130bhp does 55mpg no problem daily and will easily do 60mpg+ on the motorway if i want it to!
