anyone think there is a power gain to be had from removing the dent (sorry to hijack your thread!)

as far as i can see they are ok on RS cars, the few problems they have caused (it destroyed my box, manifold and cat!) have been on non RS cars with only 3 engine mounts, not 4 like an RS

dodgey earth somewhere cause that possibly?! other than that f**k knows!!

195/45/15 is where its at ive never felt a car car respond so well as a coilovered car on them!!! lol

PM me your email address and ill send you the guide

when are you going to grow up and buy a mk2!!!! haha only kidding mate cars looking good as ever, like the megane wheels

non cup 172 for me, nearly the same inside same toys etc apart from cruise (unless u get an 04 plate) IMO the wheels are better looking on the 172 the rear looks better without the 182 wheelbarrow look! but after driving my 172 with a 182 manifold, i dunno if i could go back!!

apparently it takes up to 20 minutes driving to recharge the power used to start the car once, or so i was told

i think you might just been unlucky and its not actually UCH when you say the aircon stops working do you mean just the aircon or the fan? if its the fan thats not working it could be the (forgot the name of the part!!) under the scuttle pannel, comon fault. washer could just be a faulty...

waterpump possibly leaking, u had the cambelt done and not the pump? what year and millage is the car

i also had a problem where when i took my foot off the acelerator the car jumped as if the engine mounts were gone/loose but they were brand new, turned out to be a shafted driveshaft (it hadnt been making any clunks or noises)

that looks like eibachs or the like on the front and standard at the rear to be honest what colour are the front and rear springs

my 172 been in the garage for 5 months without start, fired it up first time yesterday no problem

DO NOT remove the head to helicoil it no need, my mate shot the plug from Cyl 3 (common problem) and it was done with the head in place. cambelt needs specialst tools from renault, other manufacturers make tools for other F4R's but not for the RS one

a mate of mine told me as soon as u insure a car as a coversion its a group 13 car minimum (may not be true though) can insure it as a kit car cheaper if over 21 i think. u will never in 1 million years do a 1.6 conversion to a mk2 ph2 for £500 lol its just as much work as doing a 172...

replicas not for me mate ive got the real thing!!

both looking good! love the cold air feed in the headlight only because we know whats actually under the bonnet and its not some chav destroyed his headlight to get a cold air feed on his 1.2 lol wish i had put the 1.6 in my 1.2 back in the day like i wanted to and built something cool!!

iirc 5th gear is the gear that causes issues when the gearbox oil is LOW so makes sence it was causing bother when it was overfilled. possibly had a n/s driveshaft (need to drain oil)

lol aye fukin grass hanging out the bumper! whaping the bumper and rad off it tomorrow morning to have a wee look make sure its all straight. lucky it was grass and mud it hit rather than a wall/tree etc so it all looks good, subframe is untouched, slam pannel fine etc so its just a new bumper...
