Just contacted Mackie Motors who have quoted £476.62 for the timing belt change. So thats not too bad, but they also said their major service is £273.60 - so in total thats near enough £1k!!!! Not sure whats best to do!

ok i kinda get what your saying;) sounds like hassle tbh :dapprove:

Yeah i thoughts as much, its a coonting heavy thing, might give powerflow a ring and get a centre section made up, so i will need to join the hangers and have it into one mount?

fitting a backbox isnt really a problem its a easy job well when you have one that fits:rolleyes: ran into problems! Took off the standerd backbox and went to fit the magnex one, It has 2 hangers and i only have one hanger mount! and the other problem is the pipe that connects the backbox to...

your looking at a pallet load mate, around £80-£90 (couriors) I just sent my CTR interior and cost me £48 due to me asking the price of sending one seat, why sending 3 indavidually wrapped makes a difference i dont know :)

my old valver with decat and magnex system used to spit maaaooosive blue flames:cool: and wasnt overfueled ;) wish my cup done the same

as i have a 172 cup? Are the 172 FF more expensive?

ive also seen this in st andrews, great looking car:cool:

matt black would be good mate, ive just put up a topic in the local meet section, where have you been hiding anyhoo?

i did try mate nobody took me on :dapprove: will try again tho, so it will be cheaper then :approve:

Awesome looking car and bay, really nicley done, what a waste of a nice motor:dapprove:

lol aye, i was lost also :o so just headed back, all the cups troubles are behind it now, turned out it was a backbox restriction now, so running full power:D i think d1cky was £550 all in, for parts, labour and vat

im having my belts changed in a couple of weeks, d1cky said that he had his done at renault in brechin:) thats were im going to go i think long time no speak btw

ahh i see, so there wont be much gains in power then?

this really is just a random question and most likely sounds silly;) What would happen if if a 182 ecu was used in a 172 along with the 4-2-1 exhaust manifold? Any gains or downfalls?

not YET matey, but if i ever need anything done, i will be asking him very nicely for his help:)

His work really does look awesome:cool:

ive sussed how to connect the two together, one of the plugs has a saftey cap over it, just unclips of and they connect:) my passenger seat is of being repaired so when i get it back and plug it in i will let you guys know the outcome of this:)

did you take of the inlet to paint it mate?

Im sure someone on here has a CDA on a 197, cant remeber who tho:dapprove:

If your not worried about what it does to the performance why dont you just stick the biggest and loudest cone filter you can find on, preferably one thats the size of a large babys head:rasp:

What i did when i fitted mine was clamped of the originals, unclipped them and put the new samco hoses on, lost a tiny amount of water but just topped it back up and worked the air out of the water system, took 30 mins max;)

This is very true, finish on the same RR as you started with, i have to travel 1/2 of scotland to get to mine;)

yes, sounds like it has mate, but sounds like an amature job:(

I was praying for it to be my old one :o
