As said, exhaust wouldnt make much difference and you already have a de-cat which will make the biggest improvement. Get it on the rollers again if you think it isnt right. Has it had a full re-build? If it has, then its basically a new engine and so will feel tight for a while.

Re: Hardcore RS cambelt waterpump done

offer of a lifetime :D You guys dont fancy getting into Fiat tuning do you ;)

Why are you going for the volvo 1.7 turbo? The 1.8rsi engine is the same engine with a larger capacity so wouldnt building the turbo onto the 1.8 engine be a better option? cars look nice, shame the photos are out of focus.

was it revoked due to points? also you can sell before finance is up but might aswell fix it, stop using it and sell in feb if thats when finance is up

most people that change the manifold just go for a 182 one as there isnt much to improve on with that design.

Waste of time as the boost those cars run is so low it will be barely audible. Also pretty chav on a car like that imo. Personally I wouldnt even be thinking about engine mods yet! Get some decent mileage on the car first and then consider mods later, but remember what ever you modify will...

Hate to say it mate but a lot of this sounds like its because you aren't looking after it / modding it properly.

175/65/15 I have sorted some now, colleagues son works for Hyundai and is getting me some Firestones for £33+vat each fitted :D

Re: 50% complete 172RWD! In theory it will be quicker, though only fractions of a second, but it will also allow for higher useable output!

bout £150 iirc

still got the rear bench out of your mk2ph2 in my room. Took them out when I got rid of the clio and never disposed of them.

Call a decent renault specialist and order eibach springs from them. they will make sure you get the right ones.

Love it mate! Always have loved your cars, so much so I even have part of one of them in my room still lol.

carbon fibre every time :D

I was oretty sure they arent as the 2.0 have different shocks. I might be wrong but I would call them and double check!

springs are different on 1.2, they are the same on 1.4 and 1.6, but different again on the 1*2 iirc. the eibachs are brilliant springs, absolutely loved them on my 1.6.

about the same if not better than depreciation then ;)

cant make up mind if thats real or not...

and then the law changed meaning that renault couldnt sell a car that doesnt have ABS killing off what the original 172Cup started as.

Personally when I change my car I am going down the leasing option. The way I see it is I am going to change my car every 2-3 years after this one, so why have the bother of selling it and with the right package I can even get it fully maintained so no worried about servicing. Before people...

Re: 50% complete 172RWD! ditto that! Loving the builds going on at the moment!

when top gear tested the ph1 172 vs. the saxo vts (which we all know is basically a 106GTi) the 172 was quicker on the straights but the Saxo kept with it/gained on it in the corners.

Lush car! Always look good in black! Welcome to the club by then way. For the lads that want to ask that haven't yet

thats fan-'kin-tabulous

Can anyone recommend best/cheapest place to get tyres? I have tried www.blackcircles.com but their prices seem more expensive than they used to be.

couldn't agree more!

My cars been thrashed from new and I have been told by the stealers its one of better one they have driven. Make of that what you will

Good lad :approve:

Thats the garage that services my car. They are bying as many Vee's as they can. This one is a good price but they are keeping quiet about the repairs! I looked at this but decided to wait before changing.
