Maybe worth it for a weight saving and extra space but not so much a power gaining modification. You're going to drive around track with the AC on, well you might! But the AC only engages when is it activated, otherwise the pulley is just like an idler pulley. There's quite a few components to...

I've got a nearly new Renault engine mount and powerflex dogbone. Not sure on the gearbox mount but look nearly new too. No vibrations at all but I can feel the engine and box moving around as the car does get driven properly. I've noticed the Ktec mounts at £200 for the pair. I was wondering...

I've just changed my knackered OEM dogbone for a polybushed one and its a massive improvement. No vibrations at all. There is still plenty of movement from the engine and gearbox. Enough for me to consider up-rating the other mounts.

Is changing 5th gear on it's own fairly easy on the JB/JC boxes? And if so is there any difference between the parts on the JB and JC 5th?

I'll be grabbing some from Asda I think :)

Look at the stickers on that BMW...tool. At the last trackday I did at Anglesey there were four offs, a bellend in his first Westfield outing and three heros in BMWs. I love doing trackdays but the total disregard for others is a worry.

Oh dear oh dear :(

You can get a really good FRP for £6k. A really good Trophy for £5k. So for 1k extra you could have better handling, less refurbs on the shocks, LSD, Alcon 4 pots etc.

Re: Ph1 172 Yeah the Fiesta was a bit of a head turner! This was it at Oulton last year, its the 2nd one going past. For some reason the links above showing the drop didn't work after I edited them due to moving them on Photobucket.

Can the 2 piece shaft with centre bearing fit the Ph1 172?

I'd be interested to know too! Found this thread. FYI http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?668905-Engine-Dynamics-Short-Shifter-172-182

Who makes the gaskets for Renault?

Any experience with BGA? I've used FAI, Payen etc. before but never BGA. I'm guessing they're just as good?

They're the ones :) all the same from China. Spot on product!

Kwak green, hot pink

Bigger cams (exhaust cam is quite conservative), ITBs, headwork or boost. Same as any other engine! You're looking at 185bhp with cams, headwork and ITBs. Also decent torque as the VVT is continuously variable. I'd expect them to respond very well to a rotrex with a better exhaust cam only. I...

I've got a ph2 exhaust on my ph1, fits fine :) I put it straight on as I assumed they were the same but it has got a sliding joint which I haven't adjusted

I'm guessing mine will be the same. I shall have a go by the bracket then cheers :)

It'll receive a bit of trimming for the brake ducts so I might fiddle with it whan I do them. I might be able to heat it and shape it out of the way perhaps.

It's due to the increased caster :)

After fitting the cooksport springs, Cup wishbones and 205/50/15 tyres on my Ph1 I'm getting scrubbing on full lock. I'm sure this is nothing new so I was wondering what others have done. Trimmed the arch liners or removed them?

The intercoolers on ebay are spot on. Around £50 for the smaller ones and about £65 for the next size up. They are the same ones you get from KTEC, ED, Jamsport etc. etc. but without the premium. They work very, very well. Don't waste your money.

Re: Ph1 172 I'll take a couple of better photos of the car on its new suspension this weekend but you can see the arch gaps. Spot on IMO. The springs are a credit to Josh at Cooksport. They ride really well and feel great. They are fitted along with Cup shocks and Cup wishbones so whether that...

My mate runs them on his MX5, they hold up well enough tbh.

Sell Westfield, buy FRP. Sell Zetec SE, buy Duratec. Buy rotrex, cosworth inlet and cams. Yes!

How critical is it that you get the rocker cover that originally came with the head or do they generally match up pretty well when swapped around?

They've sold for £150 posted before now

Maybe try something a bit bigger with boost. Leon Cupra, Focus RS Mk1/ ST Mk2, Megane 225/R26. The mini is pretty good tbf but budget in performance mods like cat cams, smaller pulley, better intercooler, exhaust etc. They go very well then!

I've seen various ducts for sale to fit my Ph1 foglights but it's proving difficult to find one that will fit the foglight holders perfectly. Can anyone link me to some that are known to fit and they need to be black. Ta :)

I know Valeo is OE. But as you have done I've used Borg and Beck previously and they've been spot on. Also I can get them much cheaper than Valeo. I may get one and open it up see how it is and then decide. Had issues with LUK in the past not being as good.
