    Can you do me a favour next time you're out..

    Mounts go/wear quite badly on these cars. Could be very well like stated above . I changed mine because i noticed the jumping/jerking/kicking getting worse and i thought 1+1 = movement in engine worsening = engine mount wear. (if your at all a little bit familiar with your own car + a bit...

    Cup racer project finally finished

    Re: clio cup race car project! ^^ i've learned something; the V6 box was used to keep decibel levels down on the cup cars wherever this was an issue (like Zandvoort-Holland being in the middle of residential areas). Where decibel-restrictions were easier, they were'nt used .

    Hesitates when cold

    ^^ right, you seem to know what you're talkin about. I call it limiter but you may be saying what i meant . It is done by watertemp sensor, watch your gauge . When going close to normal running temp for the FIRST time (you can actually see it rise and fall the first 10 minutes) , car...

    Hesitates when cold

    ^^ You all just watch your watertemp-read on the dial when leaving home. When it starts to get to almost normal temp ; the hesitation is gone It's a built in limiter

    Rear brakes 172 cup

    The man was meaning the discs; when the discs need changing , the bearings will have to too.. This because the rear discs have the rear bearings pressed onto them, they come as one part . I think this was misunderstood by the lady

    172 Waterpump

    Dug up this old thread; I posted a thread a little while back , seems i was losing a bit of coolant. I have found out that it's the waterpump leaking. This one was renewed with the cambelt-service and now 5k further it leaks. Should i go back for some kind of warranty / get it repaired at...

    Inlet diffrence

    opinions vary about this. The RS ones (lower) have the bigger diameter and supposably were better for torque. I had the regular ones matched but at the same time put in some nice cams so my opinion does'nt count ;) In the most cases it is a nice mod to do ; RS ones or not.

    Inlet diffrence

    They're not straight. The angle is close to 90 degrees in fact. When you have had them machined through+through , it was'nt done by cnc/machine. I am talking about the lower one ofcourse; this has the RS stamp on it. Or not. The upper one does'nt have the RS stamp, the one you seem to talk...
  16. franx

    Inlet diffrence

    answer; the RS stamped ones run a bigger diameter ALL THROUGH the tubes, whereas the non RS ones have a smaller diameter. When these are matched, the parts through the bends are'nt reached by the machine so only the beginning + ends are "matched" to the size of the ports it is matched to

    the new inlet manifold by Angelworks and icarus ; any news ?

    ... i hope there will still be spare parts for the 172 available from Renault when this manifold comes out :o They're supposed to produce parts for 15 years after production of the car has stopped so it may be tight here ;)

    V6 airbox

    When you want to fit this box , using the standard elbow, you will have to shortern the elbow by a bit to be able to squeeze it in !

    slight drop in coolant ; worry time ?

    ^^ thanks all ! Now that we're talking about it; whenever i pick up the car from the garage, where it stands still most of the week , i have seen a small drop of fluid on the ground but that never had my attention because it is really just a drop / very tiny tiny bit. It always seemed...

    slight drop in coolant ; worry time ?

    I have noticed that every couple of months i can fill up lets say 4cm in the expansion tank/reservoir , you think it's using coolant ? (headgasket?) :dapprove::( Can't seem to spot a leak either..
