I'm planning my gearbox change soon if all goes well and I thought whilst I'm at it I may as well get a billet flywheel. Otherwise I'll have to buy a spare anyway and get it re-faced. What is available? The one from ktec at £297 is a bit steep.

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...

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?

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

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

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?

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?

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 :)

On my previous Fords one of the best clutch kits was the Borg and Beck kit. You got the full 220mm clutch plate rather than brands like LUK and National which came in at 210mm and used to slip. Has anyone fitted one on here to their Clio? I can get them at a good price so if its up to doing...

Is fitting the 182 4-2-1 whilst the head is off straight forward or still a fiddly job?

Not the later 6 speed ;) Would there be any issues fitting this to a Clio Ph1 172? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/99-03-Megane-Scenic-1-6-16v-manual-gearbox-Guarantee-JB3936-BREAKING-FREE-P-P-/160784990774?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item256f884236

Going to get the tracking set after fitting the cup arms to my ph1. How much toe works well? Still want decent turn in but keeping good straight line stability. I suppose parallel is the halfway point...

Just for info for those interested. What you get...2 x boxed and oiled reprofiled cams, instructions, data sheet, COSHH sheet (for the lubrication present), leaflets, shim kit. The shim kit also comes with instructions and 16 x 12mm OD, 5mm ID, t=0.5mm shims.

My Piper cams have turned up with the shim kit. I'm going to get a new dephaser and a belt. Is there anything else that needs replacing on the F4R?

do these go....? (the bearing is inside the larger rubber)

Anyone fitted one to a Clio? The M62 would be the most apt.

Blue cup reg. S40 CUP spotted this morning about 09:45 in Rhos on Sea

I've got a nearly new DTA S40 with innovate wideband sat here from my zetec turbo. To save it going to waste I'm contemplating sticking it on the Clio. My questions are:- Is it capable (spec wise) of running on a Ph1 with all the sensors, VVT etc.? Will it cause issues with dash lights...

Where is the cheapest place to do this? Before anyones says do it yourself the answer is NO! :rasp:

I'm looking at getting a spare gearbox to rebuild for my Ph1 and want to fit a shorter final drive. A 4.21 would do nicely and you can get these in the JB1 as well as a 4.5 final. Could the crownwheel and pinion be fitted to a ph1 or cup box?

Can the Ph1 ABS system be fitted to a 172 Cup?

Anyone got a 98ron .cal file for Ph1? :) Its for the A300 software so something like A300_35FF.cal 98 ron is required

I've managed to get a Ktec recessed exhaust for a decent price but I'll need to chop the bumper. Are there any templates for doing this cutout available?

I bought a set of Matt Lewis motorsport/moquip/aeroquip braided lines and took them to my friendly neighbourhood garage to fit along with my ATE blue fluid. However the lines weren't suitable, apparently the flared end is incorrect. They'll do them at a later date with new pipes. Anyone...

I finally got a reply from Prima racing as to what their cam specs are. It turns out they are identical to the GT cams but only £295!! 272 degrees inlet with 11.3mm lift and 256 degrees exhaust with 10.25mm lift. I believe they give a similar result to the Catcams 428?

Is there anything else I can do at the same time to save time and money? I've got the following parts to fit. Shocks + springs Wishbones Steering rack bushes Front ARB and bushes

Would a manual JC5 from a Mk1 Laguna F4P fit a Ph1 Clio 172?
