    Great news mate!

    172 Sport Gearbox Input Shaft Oil Seal

    It’s the only option for that seal mate. Just be aware you have to open the box and strip everything out to replace that seal mate. You won’t get away with removing just the seal.

    172 Sport Gearbox Input Shaft Oil Seal

    If it’s the seal in the release bearing guide tube, do yourself a favour and buy it from Renault. They’re about £20+ vat from memory. If it’s the seal in the bearing housing, you need to open the box up as it comes as a complete bearing and seal housing. £35+ vat for that one. Easy way to...

    182 potential?

    If you want the rear lively just add toe out or make the rear parallel. Simple and effective. It’s how mine was setup, and worked very well. Up front the (original) roll centre hubs and (original) bump correction made the steering more precise.

    Engine rebuild tolerances

    No problem for a decent machinist.

    182 potential?

    Those sring rates were more to suit my driving style.

    182_steve's FF 182 progress thread!

    I do that amount in a month in my daily driver, but I rarely have the time to use the AG mate.

    182_steve's FF 182 progress thread!

    I bought the AG in 2016 and I’ve only just done over 1k in that time......?

    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    My deepest condolences to you, your wife and family mate. Awful news, but he is at peace now.

    Oil loss

    What jobs they got you doing at work then?

    Engine rebuild tolerances

    The design more than anything mate.

    Oil loss

    Steel or aluminium sump? And you should know better than to overtighten a sump plug!! ?

    Engine rebuild tolerances

    Post a pic up of your crank mate and I’ll be able to tell you how likely it is to happen.

    Clio 172 cup rally/race/track car

    They all have their foibles unfortunately mate. The 133 box is just a different version of the jc5.

    Engine Seize - Big end bearing failure

    Lots of ways to reduce it, but it all costs money mate. The ph2 172 crank is also a pos, so that doesn’t help the job along.

    Clio 172 cup rally/race/track car

    They do. The companies are called Sadev and Bacci Romano. You need deep pockets though! Lol!!

    Clio 172 cup rally/race/track car

    As said on the phone @Nathan Evans, I can possibly modify the diff to have a bolt in plate to get rid of the stupid circlip....need to see what damage awaits us internally though.

    Engine Seize - Big end bearing failure

    Nah. The f4r is quite common for spinning the centre main, blocking off the oil feed to the big ends and the rest is history I’m afraid.

    J&R Driveshafts and Quaife

    Move the engine over and check wishbone bushes. Failing that you need a standard shaft from a 172 to compare the length with.

    @Tomo3292 here’s the R3 197 engine specs.

    Increase CR by skimming head

    They’re what I was going to suggest funnily enough

    Increase CR by skimming head

    They may not like the extra heat from the raised CR mate.
  23. NorthloopCup

    Increase CR by skimming head

    11.2:1 CR will be fine, but you’ll need to run on decent Ron fuel, or have it mapped conservatively for whatever fuel is readily available over there mate. You’ll need a different set of plugs to the standard 172 items as well ideally.
  24. NorthloopCup

    Increase CR by skimming head

    You need to be careful how much you skim off the head as it can, and will have detrimental effects on the cam timing. Skimming a head to raise compression is not the done thing.

    Deeper cup on the Quaife

    My first trip to the Mach Loop ...

    I’m still an F4 phantom man myself. I was only a kid when the tonkas replaced them in frontline service. Behold, ‘Black mike’ in all his glory!!

    heatshrinking loom, how?

    Full de-pin of the plugs when I did mine. It was also custom, so didn’t have to worry about getting it back in the correct place as per oe. I don’t have a list for any plugs or terminals mate.

    My first trip to the Mach Loop ...

    Tomorrow could well be the day then! Fingers crossed eh!

    My first trip to the Mach Loop ...

    The Luftwaffe are currently doing a joint op with the brits at raf coningsby. Typhoons and GR4’s, so I’m surprised the GR4’s haven’t been through tbh. Cobra Warrior is the name of the exercise.
