I know this thread is yonks old, but can anyone tell me that if you bolt in the box section, how is the weight distributed when jacking up? Is it just contained to the box section which is bolted to the original jacking point which would then take the weight, or does it transfer upward pushing...

Yes, me too- where down South?

Yep. Wonder how many reps in total cover the South Coast from Lands end to Margate.....

Well I cover East Sussex, based near Brighton, so doubtful you mean me Not sure how many reps cover South Coast... must be several Think Tim (cant remember other detail) covers Hampshire and West (Ish) , convenes the Surrey Rolling Road Dyno events He may cover Portsmouth- not sure

I take it there is no FCS 2019. Shame, one of my faves

Depending on his history of offences, if he's been in no bother- they wont be too fussed on the MOT, probably just "get one" but tax could be a fine on top of what he O's, insurance up to 9 points I believe No ban,

Always fancied it- where you go, as Sevenaoks not far from me

Looks great. What upgrades do you have to do for Sprint?

That's the stuff I am going for Some are NFP and some is NFJ- anyone know the difference Can you buy it on the hight street somewhere- Halfords and Eurocarparts don't have it

good call. Gearbox oil for me in the next few days, but cant see where to get the recommended ELF 75W80 stuff that quick? Anyone know- ebay is next thrusday earliest- really need by Tuesday 3.1 ltr, maybe new copper washer for drain plug

No. not monitored temps yet. Yes- Only for 20 minute sessions, but it does get f'ing hot under there My assumption was that heat rises, and would place them higher up the bonnet. There would be a fair draught thru.....

Will get round to drilling large diameter vent ports behind the front number plate soon, as the engine bay gets so hot on track Don't like the permanent bonnet lifters that raise the windshield end of the bonnet an inch or 2 Anyone tried fitting bonnet vents angled to the windshields for a...

pretty sure mine came out ok. needed a good clean

Yes, my error. Cat to centre section gasket Wonder why they don't put that gasket on the fitting pack

what about the flat gasket manifold end?

Yes, seen these. But they don't seem to come with a gasket between manifold and Cat? Is it not needed- or do you buy seperately Seems a bit daft to buy a fitting kit without a gasket

Why are those brake ducts and scoops so darned expensive Bits of moulded plastic basically

How you get on with this- I need to swap out my cat converter (Ph 1 172) and wonder which fitting kit? theres several on ebay

Am interested in this post :-) Probably the adrenalin rushing when I lunged for the gearbox on track - not as bad as I thought, but 2nd is progressively harder to find, especially when in a hurry on track, and other gears are crunching. (4th/3rd up and down, 3rd to 2nd) When toodling around its...

172 Phase 1. Think its a JC05? Someone tell me please. Crunching in 2 gears when changing down, occasionally up, and cant find 2nd gear when at speed, other gears are getting progressively more difficult Is it worth geting it reconditioned? If so, where in South East- prefer not to take box...

Was chatting to him (Clioman) about it couple days ago- he seemed quite keen on it, and I would have had it given another 12 months or so

what sort of cat- both OEM's?

Ive seen a few posts on here which suggests the gains of a 182 manifold and sports cat (Apparently the 182 standard cat is a 200 cell cat) are diddly squat Seems any performance mod on here gets equal measures of positive and negative comments- best just try what suits I think

now leaning toward Engine dynamics bespoke remap at £200 Enlarge throttle body (Yes Bloke) matched inlets, induction kit, soon to be sports cat (Yes Bloke) Will leave it at that I think. Maybe 182 manifold (Yes Bloke lol)

I will be whizzing up to Engine Dynamics in next couple months, Renault specialist on maps Kelvedon, Essex, bout 100 miles from me, so closer for you Must meet up at Brands sometime for a little spin round??

Bit remiss of me not to put my own dyno print out on This is standard AFAIK when purchased, other than Ramair filter induction

just change it more frequently, even couple thousand miles Constant fresh oil for a few months will act as a flush get a magnetic sump plug too (Although many will slate it, they still catrch some crud)

Depends which Dyno you use- think some of them are quite "encouraging" Mine was 165bhp 2 years ago, and not expecting much more before a remap, but just driving better will be great To be honest, it goes pretty good now, maybe just being greedy. Just a few flat spots at top of rev range and...

I already have a 4:1 manifold, how is the 182 different? Whatever you put on, cant seem to get above 175bhp without a lot of outlay- so just a map and leave standard Cat on methinks

My throttle body was playing up for months- least that got fixed. But enlarged throttle body and matched inlets cant be a step in wrong direction. I will find out on next dyno run. 165bhp on a run with no mods. Dont think will go to trouble of swapping out exhaust manifolds n stuff- straight to...
