Either redrill your original front engine mount to fit f4r or use 1.7 front engine mount, should bolt straight on. Use stock gearbox mounts, well use vibratechnics or similar as the original rubbers are too soft
Trendlines are great, i find them comfy and support is decent, get a megane pair and runners to suit. Defo more comfy than Recaro cs, they are arse achers on a run !
Epic, that must have been right at the end just before the chequered flag came out. I was sending it over all the kerbs, and accidentally took out a cone earlier in the day resulting in a rubber scuff on my n/s 2118 and the length of the n/s sill :LOL:
I dont mind moving over as seen you making...
The twingo is pretty epic, @Adeyspec let me and the mrs take it out, goes well, handles well. Feels like an old gt turbo, with better handling, better tyres and brakes and it would be flying
Looks quick @JB21 fair play. The metro was quick too cant believe how fast that came up behind me, was class.
Anybody get any footage of my Kangoo ? I forgot to put the camera on as i was too busy being a gobsh*te haha.
Also who was in that silver standardish looking 182 think reg started...
Just got back, had an awesome weekend! Best csf yet. Massive thanks to the admin staff who do all the legwork setting it up.
Great to catch up with old and new faces too. Had a riot in the Kangoo on track !
Still buzzing over winning the xbox on the raffle, have wanted one for ages.
Roll on...
Late one tonight, got in from work/gym and went out to clean Kangoo and Megane up, as not been cleaned for ages maybe 4-6 weeks.
Started raining as soon as i had got the jetwash out, could not fecking believe it. Cleaned the inside and packed instead. Rain eased off 7:45ish so cracked on and...
Cheers mate (y) i can totally relate to the dissapointment. When i bought this i plowed a bit of money in doing the belts and anything else that was shot. Took it to the local track for a quick blast and the handling was horrendous on the original suspension which was original dci shocks on...
Ive bought some ebay cheapos continental direct is the brand, no idea if related to the tyres or not. £45 delivered for a pair, look ok cant be any worse than the current ones. Current drivers one is absolutely rotten, looks like the cup is ready to fail, and no damping whatsoever, but dry as a...
I think thats the plan now, aux kit needs doing as cracked aux belt, but send it for a bit to see if its drinking oil or not.
My clip is a full chip clone off ebay, works great. Just reprogrammed a megane 225 cup airbag ecu tonight with it, works great with new win 7 laptop.
Definitely...
Looks well after a clean up. You wont have any problem with noise at Blyton, they dont test static, and my single box system on the Kangoo which is as loud as the old Yozza system does not trigger the drive by monitor. Mine is something silly like 108db on the limter:LOL:
Small update,
Checked glow plugs today, to see if they were any good, as this fault kept flagging up on clip.
Simple resistance check, number 1 was open circuit, the rest around 15ohms from memory. Because budget project/tight northener/pikey ? just stuck one glow plug in. I have changed tons...
Csf prep done,
Started off by adjusting the rear shoes, they needed minor adjustment after a full day at Croft. This needs a disc upgrade on the back really, but works OK for now. Adjusting the rear compensator to original settings last year made a massive difference to wear.
Fresh RBF600...
My kangoo 172 is on stock ecu, decat and most of the time with no warning light whatsoever. Had it on twice in last 10k, fitted a 90deg lambda spacer and not seen it on since. It will have faults stored in the ecu when scanned with clip, but not enough to trigger the light.
Theres 2 approaches i tend to do on this
One is deox gel, if any rust pitting left bosh some hydrate 80 on to convert, zinc primer on converted metal, paint of choice and it will slow the corrosion down and get a few years out of it. Its relatively easy and fast to do.
2nd approach is the long...
Tackle it yourself if no welding needed, get a load of Bilt hamber products on. Most bodyshops will only flash it over with the d/a and chuck some rust convertor on and it will return quite fast
Cheers mate, its a good old motor. Glad i pulled my finger out and got it road legal again, as too easy to forget about it in the garage.
Cheers mate (y) If i had to sell all of them and keep one, i would have no idea which one to keep, as all totally different to drive, and enjoyable in...
Cheers mate, i quite enjoy driving it, it corners great on the eibachs and pilotsports which makes the commute decent. Its no flyer, but makes up for that economy wise, and lack of speed has prob saved my licence :LOL:
The vibrations will settle down after some use mate, mine was terrible initially even with dampener but rode it out and hardly any now. They are mega when pressing on, one of the best mods i have done to mine. Id have one in my daily dci if they were cheaper
Cant wait to get it done, purely for more room in the back. Keep looking at wheels for it, the plan was discreet but i think thats going out of the window :LOL:
Update, Orange dci is running great touch wood, been doing loads of miles in it 500+ some weeks. 64mpg everywhere, quick reckon up and £200 profit on fuel this month which all goes back in the kitty for wear and tear & for when that expensive repair is needed.
Give it a wash last night as...
Also got the mrs 225 ph1 back on the road a couple of weeks ago. So if you wonder why its been raining constantly for the last two weeks its because we have got the two garage queens legal again:LOL: just stuck it in for mot and it passed no bother. Changed shocks all round for new o.e cup/r26...
