the roof creases have nothing to do with my suspension setup, they've been there since new!! but with 250+bhp under my right foot, i can see other things bending LOL!!!
from the bottom edge of the inlet ports (172/182) i need to know how much room i have horizontally out towards the front of the car, and from that furthest point outward how much room vertically
i need to know for my "Fred Special" inlet manifold for F4RT
i have already come out 180mm...
and you want a 2.75inch bore pipe for maximum output
edde, i'm gonna disagree with you about your comment on the 182 manifold, its the best thing to come out of Renault!! It really is amazing considering the cost if the part
the 182 exhaust manifold WON'T fit the 172 sport CAT (unless you chop it and weld a flange on)
the 182 manifold is longer than the 172 manifold
also the killer is the labour cost of fitting it
you CAN do it
what makes you say the 182 is better out of interest??
my order of the "best clios" (1998on)
mk2 1.2 (Hardcore version)
mk1 172
mk2 182 Trophy
mk2 cup
mk2 172 - mk2182
you have to remove the 172 original CAT too
easiest way is to just use a straight decat type pipe (it'll cost you £50-£70 to have made) to "fill the gap" between the 182 manifold and the 172 exhaust
remember the 172 was originally designed to be a left hand drive, on a LHD 172 the brake master cly is next to the pas res on the right hand side of the bay as you look at it
if you jack from the point i've indicated in the pic, you will lift one side of the car completley off the floor (useful for changing wheels)
wack in an axle stand just behind that point
lower back down and repeat on other side
