I love that tunnel down your way

Probably not a charging fault if the car has only been running for a few hours on a new battery (Ive known people run foir a week with no alternator and a new battery) But as i said could be a shorting alterntor. Silly to guess tho

As SBV says you have a current drian. It could be so many things it would take weeks to talk you through it all. For example, it could be, alternator shorting to ground, wiring loom short, ecu not sutting down properly, relays stuck, central locking motor jammed...... the list goes on. Get it...

I know what your saying but the engine bay wasnt that clean really. Shame. We all had a little look when it was on the rollers earlier in the day. Work of art

The race cars ran the sadev box with a standard engine when Renault built them

The car lent itself to being photographed very easily and used a CPL. Was a good evening

Good work on the brake ducts bud, liking the deflectors. May have to get some of those if JMS were able to supply? That sensor thing youve adjusted? is that for the esp? does it work the xenon leveling too? Have you noticed a difference since?

^You got a pic? As said 182's dont have external filters, yea the pump is inside the tank. Filter (IF FITTED) is on the right hand side of the tank. Maybe the Aus spec ones have them?

Better late than never. My spring rates................ Front - 170-60-0080 Dark Red Eibach Rear - 0500-200-0400 Black Eibach So front being rated in newtons and rears in lbs I have 450lbs front and 400lbs rear. Got some 450lb rear ones on order tho, wanna buy a pair of 400lb/70N rear...

Will be doing a day like this at GDI sometime soon.

But didn't they say it was a con rod that failed? Renault's product?

Why am I not surprised? ;)

FAIL :cry: :slap: Pm'd by the way

oh yea, forget everything i said, dam hayfever, cant see a thing

I can see that photo of Bomber and Adey coming back to haunt the forum one day............ Wish I knew how to photoshop

Yea happy with the engine now, drives so much better with the new body. Must of been gettin slowly worse for ages. Its a good figure considering it still has the cat (for now)

epic beyond explanation!

Fitted another throttle body I got off Andy @GDI yesterday. Its possibly a Megane one as its slightly different externaly. its improved the drivability 100% and also cured the high idle speed/sticking throttle. needed to modify the cable a little, no biggy. Still no closer to sorting the brake...

why would you want too, its hotter down there in the summer. Plus it would have to bend more, Ive kept mine a straight as poss. Ideally id remove the fuse box and make a heat shield but cant see its going to make a massive difference

From what I was told they are just madder. Cant say from a technical point of veiw. Andy/Dany will know more. I only know they would be suitable coz I asked about them for mine. They wont need any piston mods iirc

Not tempted by 421's?

Drive Andy's RSI, mad cams are so cool

If bolted straight to the bend in front of the rad. I know its been tested. id of thought with cold air getting to mine by being in the far corner of the bay under the headlamp that it would be ok. Sounds mint tho so i dont care

Lol, sorry. The car in question had a home made filter on it using some itg thing and a cold air feed. It made 130bhp (ran twice to make sure) We fitted my indction kit to it (Using Bombers 90degree bend coz my 45 would fit due to the car having the battery still in the oe position) and it...

172's made Ash87 184bhp decat, exhaust (iirc) made 160bhp ish last tim ewith a blocked/melted cat germjames - 169 with ktec stealth and viper (iirc) some others made 173bhp, 184bhp, 185bhp, - only got reg numbers so dont know who

Was adey's, kept trying to get away. 3 people to hold in down in the end. Too much Booooooost! I'll have a quick scan throught the results if you like, got all the pdf's here. Didnt bother writing them down like last year coz all we had was armchair tuners saying it was all a load of b****cks...

Mine was 184bhp and two weeks ago ran 181bhp @GDI

most of them had mods of some description, most were 170-185.

My old 172 had this little niggle. Cant remember but there may of been a post somewhere about cleaning it

yep that should fit a phase 1
