i was bored of my ph2 172, didnt want to sell it as of how good it was, had a really strong engine as proved on the RR at a few of the CS rolling road days, eventually bit the bullet, eventually regretted it and bought a cheap ph1 172 which i actually prefer!

i used vpower and a bottle of octane booster the day my standard ph2 ran 173bhp @ falkland ;)

pics pics pics, have you saw mine floating about yeT?

in before the lock!! wheres the GT option?

they weigh 1400kg!!! do the maths, i remember working it out at the time and i was about 15bhp per tonne up!! plus as christopher says, ph1 FTMFW

ive saw loads of them this bad, get it checked properly before you go pulling the head off it!!

bushes wear, you can replace the linkage and it will be a bit better however there will always be a bit of play

im backshift starting at 1.30 but ill still be there!!

wash your mouth out lol

remove the bumper, many if you have hands 200% larger than your average man!, fiddle about you will get there!!

id put £100 on the head gasket being fine. these engines always have mayo like that under the oil filler cap unless they are driven long runs regularly, its not an issue dont worry about it, clean it off and give it a good motorway run and i bet it doesnt come back until its doing short journeys...

agreed, i genuinely dont dislike the box at all in any way, mine have both felt nice to use, slide in and out of gears no problem and so far ive yet to come across any of these "reliability issues" i guarantee all the issues are caused by wheelspinning and allowing the wheels to tramp under hard...

they arnt bad gearboxes, they dont have issues like some of the other renault boxes JB1 and JB3 dont seem to like going into 2nd gear untill under 30mph, no matter if your blipping or heel and toe'ing or not. the problem is average joe thinks that to drive fast you MUST change gear like the...

the excitement!!!!

its passengers side, in car fuse box. cant remember what fuse it is but i remember removing it when i was younger in my 1.2 16v to drive with no ABS and being so confused as to why i had no speedo lol

unplug the abs fuse and take it a run and see if your speedo works.

ive always swore by F1s but they were getting pricey, at £29 a corner for T1-Rs i gave them a go after a mate recomended them and they are awesome wet or dry and i dont hang about!!

ive been with admiral for years were the only company to insure me at 17 on my 172 and now at 21 and 4yrs ncb im £600 on my 172 and £280 on my GT DCi

because its not a restriction especially once the cats removed, the tiny bit of power to be gained from the stainless is probably canceled out with the weight! so i still stick by my original comment, if its a daily driver i prefer the standard system. if its a toy then the aftermarket system

care to elaborate?

get yourself along to some of the meets, some of them are a bit of a travel for you right enough but worth it if its a good summer run!

after the scottish RR day last year my mate in his standard focus ST couldnt pull away from me @ 145mph in my old 190bhp ph2

do they have the F4R tools though?

looks good now, im not a fan of this keeping a jap kit on because its worth money, see it happening all the time

depends on your driving style, fast FWD suits me better as im a maniac lol

did you get it?

find me a case where one has falen off in 10 minutes? stainless lasts longer than mild, its a fact, renaults exhausts generally dont last as long as some other mild ones however they will last a few years, give power and are light, its not a system like some others where its restricting the engine

hmm true, maby worth keeping in mind if its not broken dont fix it! when it comes to the arb

anyone know if the 182 uses a different/thicker front ARB than the ph1 172? reason being im replacing the full front end setup on my ph1 to freshen it up and while its off thought i may as well do this if its different

totally agree with you, much more so than my ph2 172
