Re: Ph1 172 Here's the cup rear bench. A little easier to remove and fit for track days and better for the kids seats. (thanks Cal!) And I trial fitted one of the bucket seats. Nice and light, cheap, Very comfy, great seating position...happy Tom! And the new tow eye, taken...

My KTec is fine, but that's with centre box and sports cat. Biggest difference for me was changing from a stealth to a recessed system. Recessed is much better

I sold my camera a while ago but I've still got my trusty Desire HD. Has anyone used on for recording in car? I'm sure I've read a thread on here where someone uses one. If so how have you mounted it?

Re: Ph1 172 Cheers guys, spent a bit more than I had originally intended tbh. But it feels worth it (sort of!) when it gets driven properly :)

Still love the tailpipe on that PMS system!

From my experience with Borg and Beck I've got no need to worry then :)

Show me the proof its not as good, or even better.

Re: Ph1 172 Well now that it's all together and working I thought I'd put up the full spec list. All the parts are brand new apart from the exhaust and manifold really so its like a new car to drive, absolutely fantastic! I've probably missed bits off too! Engine:- Piper cams ALD ported head...

Yes just the standard B&B one. About £80 off ebay. (I think I found mine cheaper by searching the part number rather than one for a Clio)

Mine is just fine! Had good experience with them in the past too where the types of LUK would slip and the B&B were fine.

Re: Ph1 172 Do they suffer from surge problems? I fancy a better inlet at some point. ITBs have the downfall of needed an aftermarket ECU and the RS2 is expensive.

No, he wants a lightened flywheel and crank. And getting a 197 crank at -1.5kg would be a better start than the 182 crank. That's what I was getting at.

Glad to hear all went well on track :) What tyres and pads were you running? They reviewed the Mountune kit in the latest Top Gear mag and loved it.

I didn't say that. I was just helping out with info to satisfy the spec list from the OP.

I have been informed by NorthLoopCup the Clio 197 crank is 1.5kg lighter :) Unfortunately I found out too late to get one for mine but it would be a better starting point for you.

D is the one you want

I've got a high flow 11" Spal fan going spare :)

I bought a cambelt and waterpump kit for my Focus a couple of months back and the pump was damaged like that. Luckily I noticed and got a replacement sorted. So it might not be in the engine or coolant system.

Re: Ph1 172 Interesting! What have you got in mind?

I remember reading a guide by Rally Design a few years ago about choosing the right piston size for 4 pots. See here http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/pdf/designing_4_pot_brakes.pdf Now it says for working out a suitable 4 piston replacement for single piston callipers with sliders that the area of...

So I need both!

Re: Ph1 172 Not had a chance to fit the seats, and nowhere to do it either at the moment :| I did get a chance to swing by Buckley tyres and have the camber bolts set up though. The most I could get on the drivers side was 1 degree 50 minutes (1.83 deg. decimal) so the passenger side was...

Good shout

Are the seatbelt bolt threads 7/16" UNF or M10? Are the ISOfix threads the same?

EBay intercooler and decent beaded pipework. Hydraulic clutch conversion isn't that bad. You could modify your existing pedal box to take a girling cylinder.

I could have a pair of shafts made for around £200-£250

I got the same figures as Andyman got on the same rollers 4 years ago with the same mods. So maybe its just the way they run them there.

184 bhp and 173 lb/ft. That's with the cams, ported head, 182 manifold, matched inlets and ITG filter behind the headlight. I could take it on other rollers and make more power though!

The cams are the same as the Catcams 428. For another £20 or so you can have the Piper cams. They are the next step up before going to Catcams 421
