Basically just want to block this.
Leave the breather/seperator thing like this
As mine is a flat type one with no stickup it won't need chopping down.
Think I've answered my own question, not very scientific but I've blown down the hole on the breather with my finger over the end of the pipe bit and I can't blow so I assume it goes nowhere else.
Aslong as I can get the cover to be the same sort of thickness as the rubber ring protrusion I...
The hole on the actual manifold that I don't have a pic of, I was thinking of just blocking it there to save the hassel of blocking the pipe to the left, but was wandering if it's a breather for the head at all, or does it purely go from the inlet to the carbon canister via the pipe thing?
The oval hole on the bottom that goes to the breather, can this be blocked up when I don't run a carbon canister?
Is the hole purely for the carbon canister? It doesn't have a hole into the head does it?
Ideally I'd like to just chemical weld a piece of ali over the hole on the plenum...
Engine, box, loom, hoses, radiator
I don't know what brake setup the mk2 runs, from memory it's the same setup as the mk1 valver with 259mm vented fronts? If so just uprate the pads
Nice simple engines used in lots of cars with lots of spares about. Can even chuck a 2.0 bottom end on it or a 1.7 turbo head with the turbo and all bits.
If you're doing it for speed then go for it, would be a fairly simple engine swap, wiring would be your biggest pain but it wouldn't be any...
Yup. You'd ideally want another 129 but I doubt you'll notice the diff in the gearing.
Hope you can get the drive onto the 182 diff or that it comes with it already.
Apparently
JC5-089 = ph1 non cup (dont know for ph1 cup if there were one?)
JC5-129 = Ph2 cup
JC5-130 = 172 ph2 non cup + all ph3
final drive and ratios should be the same if the trophy box is a 130
Sorry, gear ratios are the same across the range. It's the final drive that differs.
I don't know which box a trophy runs so I can't tell you the final drive.
JC5 129 and 130 on the left and JC5 089 on the right
129/130 has a final drive ratio of 4.07
089 has a final drive of 3.87
Look and see if there's a speedo cable going into a hole on the gearbox (the skicky up bit next to the clutch) If it has you need a box with a hole and worm drive.
Mk1 clios had a manual cable that ran off the worm, mk2's had an electric pickup from the same worm drive and later mk2's had no...
Yours will be a JC5 too mate, its the 3 numbers after that matter.
JC5 129 is a 172 cup gearbox with the worm drive for example.
The williams runs the same box with different ratios, very very similar to the 172 cup gearbox ratio wise and is a JC5 with the worm drive
Let us know how you...

Williams gearbox
I'm not entirely sure, it might run through the ecu in which case you'd need a new loom & ecu, keys, uch and other associated bits! If not it might just be a case if some wiring and some luck.
If you want to run the cable you'd have to split both boxes and put all the gears and selectors in...
2 options: run 182 abs setup or open up the box and build one with the worm drive from your old box, you might have to swap the diff too!
Easiest thing to do is to get the right gearbox as both of the above are a right ball ache
Dialogys shows the actuator here, number 19 but I don't know whether it sits inside or ontop of the engine.
Is it a ph1, ph2 difference thing?
Also, why does my breather not extend upwards like these two?
