You'd get laughed at... I went to a garage on a sunday and they wouldn't look at it straight away and wanted to charge me standard labour rates!!!!!! The horror

If you look at the S1600 section of the RenaultSport online parts thing you can see the completely different fabricated subframe and front wishbones/hubs and the fabricated independant rear suspension

Theres 7kg of difference between p/s and none? Having said that theres no way I would junk it in my Rally Car

I would have snapped someones hand off for a Cat D 182 for £1500 a year ago

It's a stupid test really as the noise a car makes stationary at 3/4 max revs bears little resemblance to the noise it makes flat out under load with the induction and transmission noise thrown in :)

You have to remember that its a logarithmic scale, so the difference from 96-98db is more than the difference between 95-97db. If your car is more than 98db it is loud, and a decat shouldnt make that much difference from 95db Depends how you measure it too... the MSA Blue Book states a...

It's oval I think... Something I haven't said in this thread was how we modified the Mk1 exhaust to fit a Mk2. Definitely not an easy job.

Finished plumbing in the extingusher, two nozzles in put in the engine bay with the pipes running down the O/S inside the car to the extinguisher behind the drivers seat. The extinguisher can be activated from the outside or by a pull cord on the inside behind the handbrake...

If there is a high level brake light fitted it has to work. And why the hell wouldn't you connect it up anyway. Not doing it when you know its going for an MOT just because you 'couldn't be bothered' is just dumb and you get no sympathy

And you don't think they are annoyed that they have lost several hours worth of work?

Not a massive amount really, no big jobs left. Once the extinguisher is plumbed in it is things like towing eye, mudflaps, sump and tank guard, steering wheel and then just tidying up. Might need to look at the driveshafts again but then I think it will be logbooking and giving it a shakedown

It was from rally design, http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=13820

Cobra seats and Willians harnesses have been fitted; and the rear quarter, tailgate plastics and windscreen have been bonded in now. Also got the new cup spoiler all finally fitted. Bolted the navigators footrest to the floor, and wired in a foot mounted button for the horn...

So you've just posted a huge body builder types personal info on a public forum. Great idea.....

If it still goes well like you say I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I'll give you £500 for it :)

Now the car is back from the paintshop we had to put back on everything we had taken off before sending it. Door catches, locks, door seals and trims all went on with no problems. Put in the plastic door windows we've had for a while now into the original rubbers and held them in place...

These pics arrived on my phone yesterday; many thanks to Peter

He should have braked at the sign :) He will next time...

It will fit, just 6 nuts to take the whole beam off (although it might be a pain to undo them) Clios with disks on the back: RS models 1.6 (some varieties) Big diesels If you want a second hand 172 one expect to pay £150 to £300

Putting a rubber ring round the holes is something we had thought of doing, plus i'm going to have a go at making some kind of bung for when it's raining and not needed. Not the easiest shape to make something for though. You won't have any trouble beating me, i'm just going to be trundling...

A bit slow going, but been quite busy the last few weekends. The car is ready to go off to get painted now. The dash is now all complete apart from screwing it back up and putting the newly painted dash inserts back on Have fitted Aerocatches to the bonnet, such a pain to fit as i'm...

Anyone had any luck getting an aftermarket fuel guage to work off the standard pump unit in a Mk2? Not been having much luck at the moment

Freds right, as far as I knew the firewall is symmetrical with just different bits cut out depending if it is L or RHD

Try www.sparkplugs.co.uk Ive use them before and was very impressed, very fast delivery plus I could get 5 individual plugs instead of 2 packs of 4 from other places

We've got some front cards on order from performance trim

Before the end of the year hopefully. Not go a specific event set as the first outing. A couple of months hopefully Should be off to the paintshop in the next fortnight though!

The steering lock I have already removed, I just cut the 'peg' that slides out off level with the body of the barrel. The barrel is going to be left in soley to turn the ignition on and off, no reason it couldn't be put on a switch but theres also no reason to take it off the barrel. The...

IIRC the 182 beam has a slightly thicker ARB, and big deisels and 1.6 petrols have discs but an smaller ARB. Most others have drums.
