172 ph1, ph2 and 182 should all be the same even the bolt spacing iirc. The upper inlet part is where it differs between 172 and 182. You might find a small difference in tolerance on the middle picture on the upper most right bole as your picture is taken. There is a difference in quality of...

racing looks a bit rough, nice though! march 2010 on the way to Val Thorens my mate didn't shut the bonnet good after pis(s)tstop and fluids refill. Entering the fastlane the bonnet came up...scared the s**t out of me, especially when my mate decided to slow down on the fast lane. S**ker! I...

Matra V12 yummmm

It's a bodykitted AND facelifted ph1 172 by the looks of it. And that engine is NO way a 1600...it a 2.0 16v lump. Would love to have a super 1600 incl that engine. (that super 1600 engine that is)

A remap resolves some of the lag of the FBW trottle of a PH2. Henk (FastChip) can alter the ratio between gas pedal and throttle body valve. He did mine once as an expirement and you could notice some difference. Don't know if he looked further into that after he did mine.

Ports are 50x30 if I remember correctly. Basicly draw two circles of 30mm diameter 20mm apart and you have a perfect match. (almost) The gasket port size is at least 1mm bigger than the ports size on the head. Edit: saying this Ps. good luck

I just saw some pics on the internet. I am starting to like it more and more.

Thanks guys! Will give a day or two and see what the cured laquer looks like. 90% of the runners are on the back side, so not visible once mounted on the steering wheel. If it's any good I flat it out with some P1500/2000 and put on an other coat of the clear laquer. If it's not any good...

Here's my go at spraying the K-tec thumbpads I received a few weeks ago. Items used: P360, P500, P1000 grit grinding paper Plastic filling primer Base color (metallic) (carspray teoflux) Clear Laquer (carspray) First started with a smooth going over P360 and sprayed on the Primer. Smooth...

I guess it all depends on how different the engine is, and how much money you spend on it already. 1 & 2 have a bit of risk in it. 3 you pay the money as you said, however it will most likely good controlled while running in. (+ it isn't yet build in your car. + you get actual power figures)...

The beeping is a fault code I guess. Try the dealer to get some error searching schematics....or try the manual, of the nav, there should be some error recognisation mentioned in it. PM me if you still have problems. I've heard about some frozen navs, which can occur if the system is...

Sponge in nylon stockings. (don't know if that is swirls-safe though) And insect remover.

Inlet ports are oval shaped 50 x 30 mm IIRC.

The head of the Ph1 and Ph2 differ IRC. The exhaust ports on the Ph1 are bigger then the Ph2? Compression wise the blocks are the same I think. However I can not imagine an Espace engine have the same compression as the F4R (730/736) engines. Bore and travel of the Ph1 and Ph2 engines are...

Hey guys, Yesterday noticed my Xenon on the pasagers side (on UK cars) was out, so switched it off and on, and it went on again. 2 minutes after I noticed it flickering and 1 minute later is was out again. If I switch the lights off and on, it will come on again. (same color as the drivers...

That's the correct number Daz, However when I ordered mine a month ago, Renault wasn't able to deliver. Needed to look em up and sold me two seperate. 82.00.074.475 82.00.074.453 that's what the receipt says, the parts just show the other number on the back. Paid about 15 euro's each...

If I understand right. ITB with the ph1 cabled-throttle it's possible already? well that's being tested? I have good confidence in this. DBW is cool and would be possible too, me thinks. (seen a bit what henk / Fastchip, was able to do with throttle position related to pedal position, so...

New sparks will come with the gap correct. No adjusting needed as I know off Amount of oil is 5.1L (including oil filter change) Pollen filter will go where the scuttle board below the windscreen is removable most easy. (drivers side) You'll have to remove a plastic cover there and exchange the...

I pulled them from the underside...near the rear side (if that makes sense) so position you at your car... look at the bullets... for example on the right side of the car (drivers side in UK) then pull the bullet from the lower side and as far to the left as possible..upwards untill it unclips...

I drove around with that for a year never had any problems starting. Just leave your lights on for 5-10 minutes incl radio, without a running engine and you can't start anymore. :S Renault messured my battery ok but when diagnosing my problems with rear demister, it was dead in 5 minutes.

^^ true that, but I think the forces on the wheels (including spacers) might be a bit different from the forces behind the hub. Force loads turn as the wheel turns. Working the bolts more. Also shims al already used there for adding chamber...and never heard of a rear wheel coming off with...

If I make up a pair of spacers/washers is it safe to widen the rear axle this way. Instead of using wheel spacers you place the hole hub more outside ofcourse. I'm not really happy with using wheelspacers. Looking at 5 - 10 mm per side...

It can imagine it can still pass mot with some rattling loose parts in it. Just get it replaced under warenty. If the dealer doesn't cooperate just write a small leter to Renault UK about inferieur materials and your a bit disapointed about the service from the dealer. Should make things work...

When my cat went it rattled it's ass off but only at a certain rpm (+/- 4000 iirc). CAT's tend to produce a bit of water from the exhaust fumes and it might just rotten a bit when it was left standing for a while. If it's your cat making the noise get it replaced under warenty. (you just got...

I guess you have the ph2 RS? The bulbs + connect press just into the headlight unit. No fancy fitting thingies. Bit hard to fit / exchange, but you'll manage in 5 minutes or something :) I could send you some, as I have a few laying around, but it would be costly shipping from NL.

IIRC Henk has set the REV limiter to 7500 on the RS Tuner. R-sport ECU / Map had 7800? @ Guppy if you send an Email to henk he can set the REV limiter easy on your map. Might cost you though. (ofcourse you need the RS Tuner then) Mine is at 7500 and haven't touched it since it was upped from...

Sorry to be off topic ;) @ Speedstar : We do have MOT emission tests in Holland. I bought a second hand "sports cat" I believe 200 or 120cell...brand unknown. (still pleased with it Franx !! ) However it does not come through MOT / APK and smells like a rats ass. Needs to come off next month...

Well hmm how can I put this They are slightly more blue-ish but only minimal. Factory is 4300k (which is almost daylight / sunlight - most light on the road) Higher will be more blue and will give less light on the road. 8.000 or 10.000k are really blue / purple or even 12.000k you can get...

Those look ok! I got the 6000K as well. D2S is the right fitting.
