sounds like the belts loose or something major failed on the dephaser!.....sounds too 'tappy' to be bottom end or anything.... whats the oil level like?

nice work so far!

went a LONG time ago mate, I just had to prove it was silly low at the time ;) I compromised with... then got rid lol.

everyones got custom springs these days though! towards the end of 2007 was where it was at lol

oh rly

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You going to be there again? What day? I dont have an RSTuner anymore so hopefully you wont need any diag this time!

I had a 'decat' on my prospeed on the Mk2... Mine was 100% fine, the only reason it can not run properly is if you have a dodgy lambda sensor. The cat is only a filter, and if the lambda sensor after the cat is getting a bad reading, the ecu may adjust itself slightly causing it to run...

if it connects and you can view fault codes, the programming history should also show at the top of the window, which would mean you can see if its been re-mapped before.

Epic, had this in my favourites for some time: 4l_M-B30530

Are they using the proper renault timing belt tools?

Palatine motors in warrington always seem to do a very good job, pricey mind. In my experience of getting stuff painted (alot), ive yet to find a cheap decent bodyshop.....more you pay = better quality/finish/match IMO.

dash strips look familiar to biffys playing cards lol

yawn yawn yawn...when did you get air-con installed? PM Daz your details then......NOW ;)

CBA reading all the thread, but IMO sell it as it is, shouldnt have any problem.

Re: Canshaft locking tools I would have loaned them out, but as said in the PM renault have them at the moment, sorry couldnt be of more help!

If you're going to strip it, go the whole hog....trim/carpets/tar, not just the rear bench imo.

Nice update, good progress!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yep that was me!

cool

is it ok to turn up on the eve naith and still get on the site yeh? Running the car at pod on the saturday then was going to stay down and head to trax

No idea, I never tried them.......just wondering if you had and there were any differences lol!

Is this ready for marham yet? ;)

LOL :cool: Have you tried any of the other RST files on it yet?

LOLz. Dear oh dear.

Just imagine....Blasting round Brands with the air-con blazin', trip computer loggin' and correct ECU file runnin! With all the trackdays ive done this year, its used hardly, if any oil, and thats constant high RPM....so it cant be running THAT hot...

F4R's seem to run cooler than F7R's in my experience though? Edit. Too Slow TBH.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I got around that by making my own bits of the loom ;) lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ahhhhhh, nah that was when I didnt have the solid rear mount positioned correctly and the downpipe was resting on the ARB....its quite a way off touching now :) As you said, probably just needs new nuts, everything was replaced a few months ago apart from...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just thought id' write a bit of a summary of the last 12 months, not far off coming upto having the car for a year! 5 Engines F7P - 1.8 16v - The Original. F7R - 2.0 16v - Megane Bottom End + Valver (1.8) Cylinder Head (Rolling Roaded @ ~134bhp) F7R - 2.0...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Its a possibility, but i dont think its the issue... The williams ARB is only a few mm too short on each end, which dosent make a difference really, fits in the bushes fine and the car fine.... I think the problem with things coming loose (mainly...
