LOL you mk2 owners have it cushy ;) try running a mk1 16v/williams

if they were independent you could control one at a time. think individual is a better way to describe :D

cheers! :) just looked through the bag of bolts they gave me and they included them! :o :o (they were sitting on a bolt though, so i didn't notice) thanks again you wonderful people! :D

on a 172, the BE has some 'locating cylinders' so that you can properly align the head (I think? :D) my BE and head have come back from being decked and skimmed and these are missing... are they vital? can I just bolt the head on as normal? or will it not align properly or something? :S

wasn't built by danlp6 was it? ;)

Was behind you in traffic today along Sackville road at about 2pm. noticed the pink cs.net sticker :D

based on a 7000 limiter and 195 50 15 tyres, Mph/1000rpm - Max. speed 5.64 - 40 9.36 - 66 13.20 - 92 16.95 - 119 21.95 - 154 that's from my calculations based on the Renault workshop manual for gearboxes (JC5 089, so ph1 172)

is this the same one that used to have a 200bhp C1J in it? (now in rons clio) is there a progress thread? :D is it possible to put a megane head (+turbo) on a 197 F4R or even a 1*2 F4R?

I sanded mine flat with some 80 grit (removes the pitting) then I w&d'd it using 400 and 1200... finally, autosol! 'blinging'

then they'll have to release a megane v6.... turbo :D

also, how comes C575 is for a 1.8 16v mk1 and a 1.4 8v :S some clarification required methinks

dialogys confirms it :S never heard of them myself either!

or even a mention of the f4r730? seems a bit incomplete to me? :S

no c57m? what about c57d? (if different to c575)

right, no more fuckups!! hopefully :dapprove: back from the machine shop: crank + bearings cleaned and checked bottom end decked & honed came back all nicely wrapped :o cleaned! skimmed! worried about this though? looks like a bit has broken off :S just waiting on the...

Camberly are the ones that can source it :) just waiting on a call back to confirm their stock

rung around a few places. Renault don't sell them individually. finally found a place that has them for about £14...but they will get them 'maybe Tuesday' :/

ok cheers, just had a look on dialogys and can only see the set, but i'll give them a call

I've reused my head gasket about 3 times now. the first 2 times it was only in use for a few miles and the 3 time... about 300 miles I think. I've since had to take the engine apart again to get it honed and fit new piston rings. the gasket *looks* ok. the block has been decked and the head...

ooo a turbo build *takes notes* make sure you include lots of pics :o

mine was running fine Barron's way

i almost have mate :( but it needs to be done, and im so close! found a machine shop who can hone it for me. i'm going to get them to check the crank first though, to make sure its ok... as i really want to be sure then hone it, new piston rings... and away i go! the rest of the conversion...

phoned renault, they said £36.01 inc the vat per piston, which bmh.01 said. they gave the same part number too gosnays said they didnt have anything for the F4R so looks like i might as well get them ordered from renault. about £144. then i'll need to get my block honed and check the mains...

me too... they wouldnt let me into the non-paddock parking 'sports cars only' :dapprove: .....as i spied an R19 16v in there thoroughly shot down! :D did you see my clio? ph1 valver with polished turbines, was parked very near the gate

think I saw your red ITR as I was leaving...

if you could have a look for me :) all the people i've contacted (motorfactors, engine builders, APD etc...) can't get hold of them

can you source them?

£30?! i was told its massively more! - and my dialogys confirmed it - £120 isn't for 4, it's per cylinder and i'm hoping the crankcase is ok!

no where can source piston rings and i do not have the money to upgrade to forged etc.. so I'm using my original crank case and mains caps with the crank/bearings/rods/pistons from engine #2 I'm going to reuse the rings from #1 and put them back in the cylinder they came from nd hope it works...

why fit a 1.6 8v?!
