Cheap for a reason i guess, looks like a fair old zit that needs popping on drivers arch

Ive seen a couple of rusty arched ph2’s, assume its come from inside on a lot of them as down the seam. Caught that just in time, will clean up ok

I can only assume the same that tensioner not set properly or crank pulley incorrectly torqued. Mine gets flogged quite often and not had an issue.

Good to hear its sorted. How come did the timing slip ?

Thats not too low lol that will go on fine

Did anybody use these in the end ? i have just got a set to try.

Is this the ph1 that was for sale on facebook a while ago with one bucket seat in ? Looks like the prices are on the up for a decent 172

M140i is a mega car fot the money. I had a go in my mates the other night, mapped to 458hp & quaife lsd apart from that stock. Hes had it since new and in 20k all it has needed is tyres and service. Was very impressed with the performance, im considering flogging a couple of cars and getting one...

Made a start on the clutch change on Friday as gearchange was starting to become difficult & need to use the car for work in the next few weeks. Subframe off and box off, all bolts as rusty as expected New clutch in, old one almost down to the rivets Give the chassis rails a quick de rust...

Full chip one will be fine, just avoid the mega cheap ones.

Pm Track slot booked for the Kangoo

Hoover in the cylinders, it can only be there if not stuck in the inlet

Looks bang on mate, massive improvement (y)

Eibach sportline are decent, and not too crashy on the road. Avoid apex like the plague

T cut would work but its a shite product really, never been a fan of it. My Kangoo got covered in iron rust spots for whatever reason and a one hit of fallout remover/power wash took it off in about 15 mins, compared to hours of arm ache taking it off. My rear hub left a rust stain on my 2118’s...

Try it on rust and see what happens, rust stains rinse off. It does not cure it however but can sort out very minor spots like this. Bilt Hamber Korrosol is awesome stuff

Them spots are nothing really, i was expecting big rust bubbles. Your best off using fallout remover, clay then polish & finish with a good quality wax, keep on top of it and probably last quite a bit longer.

Fallout remover will clean the rust stain off temporary. Rust never sleeps though so it will need some proper work at some point

Take them back, definitely something a miss. My speedlines are still nice and white after track use, so a bit of heat in the brakes should not affect them if done properly.

I would not expect any vibrations off the shifter, its more a noise issue as it can rattle at certain rpm's. Mine has settled in after a couple of thousand miles and no noise at all now. Fit the dampener on a road car.

Whats up with the current intercooler ? High charge temps ? Do you have an act gauge hooked up ?

Took the right route of buying one and doing all the bits on it, id say most of the higher priced clios will still need a fair chunk of bits replacing. It will be right for a few years after all the new suspension bits.

The pms linkage with bearings is as good as it gets for the jc5, hardly any play compared to the crap oem bushes. Add a set of vibratechnic engine/gearbox mounts and poly dogbone whilst doing it, once the engine is solid its bang on.

Pms shifter is great, transforms the gearchange & drive. Good solid feel and positive shift into gear.

Use a 90deg lambda spacer on the rear lambda to stop the eml coming on every 2 mins with decat

Sounds like the hose that goes to the acoustic valve on ph2 as reg is in the tank/sender unit, if it is block it or refit it

Is it detting or engine noisy/knocking ? Id expect it to have went bang a while ago if its been detting for a long time.

Thats my go to combo too, works great.

Not a bad job at all the dci cambelt. Ive got to do mine again as the fecking crank seal has started leaking at the pulley end, pain in the arse

Not much happening at the mo but chipping away at the smaller bits. Stripped down a spare oil pump to see if it could be used again as new oil pumps are made of unobtanium these days for a gt turbo. The body is ok, not too scored but the rotors are worn and under minimum tolerances, but should...
