Not off the top of my head. I do know that when fitting 172 brakes & hubs onto a mk1 some people have the stubs machined so they fit the mk1 shocks & I think it's something like 2mm off each side
If you're saying it's like that, it means that I'll deffo lose my rag & just set fire to the car 🤣
Sounds like I'm committed to taking the box off..................................yay :cry:
When going into 5th gear at anything above 40mph I'm getting a lovely little crunch so need to work out a plan to fix it.
Is it possible to fix it still in the car or if the box has to come off the car can it still be fixed just from removing the end cap or is it a full blown split the box...
Aaaaahhh the good old days :love:
I paid a bit more but my best 1 was having the MOT done in Bristol while the car was in hundreds of pieces in Nottingham 🤣
High comp pistons, ported inlets & 182 manifold + mapping at EFI Parts
Everything else is standard including the cams and injectors so it's a bit of a freak
Not sure if this is helpful info or not 🤷
I've got forged high comp pistons in mine -standard bore size - standard cams & rods with ARP bolts making 191bhp 168ft/lb
I'm used to dealing with mk1's but the F4 rods are a bit beefier in comparison and are basically an upgrade. So they're well up...
It wont be the airbag as you can remove it and it wont put the light on - funnily enough it's not even physically plugged into the car 🤣
It's going to be one of the belt tensioners on the buckle, the control box or the wiring between them at fault, pop the centre console out and you'll be...
It's not the same as a 182 crank as it doesn't have the sprocket for the chain driven oil pump on it.
It's only the later versions of the F7R that had the chain driven oil pump
The Clio F7R 700 crank is from the F8Q 1.9 diesel engine
The later Mégane F7R 714 & the RS Spider F7R 712 engines have the F9Q diesel crank which is the same as the 1*2 F4R
Then you've got the early Mégane F7R 710 but I can't remember exactly what that crank that used but was different to all...
Last time I looked they were about £14k +vat and the shafts about £1500-ish +vat for a pair 🤑
Also having the MSUK logbook will add a decent chunk to the price as the safety gear will be fairly new to be in date for racing
Just managed to snap the drivers side handbrake cable and in typical Renault fashion that one is NLA :rolleyes:
Does anyone know which pattern part is correct? I remember reading something about certain makes being the wrong length so don't fancy faffing around with trial & error
With yours being a 4 door the chassis number/code will start with B57 but a lot of parts places only list stuff with the 3 door code which starts C57 so that can screw up your search.
If you run into difficulty when searching for parts, use the chassis code for the 1.8 16v model which is C57D...
