dunno, but a car cover seems in order.

lol....how can you break the cast...they are huge solid things! and your gonna have more than one. I think its just an excuse that their production capacity is low.

agree, sell and buy.....i had a an RT and never drove it cause i was apalled by it. Got a valver and its a diff machine, if you could ever make a full blown RT anything like a std valver then my commendations!

with a HELL of a lot of work!

i wanst saying you did/were....just that there is no point.... i know you wouldnt advise people to buy things for no reason.

LOL, trust butre to come in here and say that! hahaha it probably handles rather well being a wrc car...lol Rob, i too prefer the fezzy rally car, looks just like the old MK1 Grp 2 race cars back in the day. .....ill have to get a pic to you of one....sexy as hell.

nope....you cant cahnge a powerband that mich without changing cam profile, electronics can do alot, but not alter the peak potential of an engine. The point of a higher rev limit comes in handy when you need ot hold a gear longer. IN terms of acceleration yes, you will proably be better off...

take the fog cover off (black thing) and the fog light is 58 quid, sealed unit. Cant buy just the cover.

hes takin the piss..... TWIN 45 DOwn draughts!! im assuming your talcing DCNFs then? Go on, we need a pic before anybody takes you seriously, of the engine, we dont care what the shed looks like.....

its not easy to make though, and how many wheels would you need ot make to expande the facotry!!

lol, well, space and weight is a problem A trolley jack is only about 20 quid but get some wood to place inbetween teh rails to you dont bend anything.

now theres some lateral thinking!

using the std reno one is dangerous.......DONT if your doing the torsion bar, you gonna need a few more tools like a slide hammer.

He has the now normal (lol) viper/HP/BMC induction, chip and exhaust. i only got 182...poo...lol, but i do run in a much hotter country ;), ah excuses excuses

cant find the offset on my data base jas , soz

hmm, they were well inboard werent they! in terms of geometry, its your scrub radius that your mostly affecting, which in laymands terms is the "feel" you get over undulations on the road. Or sensing the different torque from each wheel. Spacers, id not bother......really, unless it a few mm...

And no benefit for that cost! you never just jump to cams if you can make power wihtout changing them, any change in prifile makes more power, but your jsut moving it up the rpm scale. Why do this when the std cams are fine for 200+bhp?

draper is ok, nowt wrong with them, but they do break lol...... draper torque wrneches, if you have the one i think you do have funny increments, id read the insructions as each increment is like 8.6ft/lbs i think.

cant you go your own gasket changes by now! I can do my race XR2 in 15 mins flat from runing-off-on-runing.......admittedly i do get hurt in teh process! lol save yourself some money, and it should be very easy, its apushrod engie after all, no cam to mess about with! Any pics of it then?

The engien wont blow itself apart at 8K, its far srtonger thanthat, all you will notice is a few more vibes associated with a near extra 1000rpm. People worry alot about things that wont really ever happen. youll never really go up to 8 k either. there is no real point

SInce Colin aint driving it this yr, hopefully teh Dagenham setup will actually finish a race, possibly near the front!

yup, the std cams are wild already and you wont gaint any peak BHP but you will loose drivability at lower RPM. Kent dont do any for the 172, and i have not checked Schrick but teh std cams are hollow and chillcast so not everybody can make them. I think only a few French companies actually...

If you only wanted a tool kit with most stuff, halfords do halford kits which are around 40-60 quid for jsut abot everything you need for most jobs. They quality is fine and i have not broken onve halfords tool yet, teng and snapon are great tools, but cost the earth to buy. A torque...

was it you running the MK2 172 alloys on a red valver?

heater matrix would result in wet carpets at least. Since your engine was running a leak could occur yet there would be no decrease in coolant leval as the water just expands. You have to check it when its ice cold. id flush the cooling system anyway, just take off the hoses from the rad...

Anders, you back in W.SUssex yet? Im still stuck in W.Chilt with no cash to do anything! lol

lol......Renault busy! when???!

maybe he should put an incresing/decreasing pound sign on it instead of boost! lol

no, you generally dont want too small a bore as you wont gain anything from ram air pressurused systems or anything like that, all you should be aiming to do is get as much COLDER air in as possible. My ductiong was about 1.5m long, and it was fine.

lol...DOH! haha
