    2013 BMW 330d

    That’s where the higher mileage ones become a bargain tbh. Biased, yes, but you’re getting a lot of car if it’s decent spec.

    2013 BMW 330d

    Depending on year/spec/history, you’re in the £20k region. Saloon possibly a bit cheaper.

    You can get csf booked now then! 😂😂

    He’d be fine. He would float well enough 👍🏻

    Clio 172 Cup

    Tbh I would’ve already put it on 197 injectors for that sort of expected power anyway. No point maxing out 1*2 injector duty cycles when you can drop the 197 injectors in.

    Glad it’s worked mate!

    Clio 172 Cup

    Yeah it makes a decent improvement tbh. Back in the day there was a French guy making semi Grp n tools - so it only advanced the inlet. That worked well too apparently, but I never drove one with it.

    Clio 172 Cup

    Better midrange grunt. You lose a small amount up the top of the rev range, but it just means you don’t have to rev it all the way out. It’s 100% noticeable

    Clio 172 Cup

    Group N cam timing and a v6 airbox direct mounted to the throttle body. Map and done. They go well with that setup

    I’d like to add MND again into the vote if we could please.

    What Car after a 182?

    Funnily enough, I know where there’s one of those for sale 👀 😂😂

    Getting another Clio after a near enough 20 year break

    You can 100% feel the Terry that they’re carrying in comparison, but if you keep them on the boil, they’re a good car. More of a drivers car I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Yeah I prefer the look of the 197 over the 200. If the 197 came from the factory in AG, I’d have had a 197 over the 200 lol

    Getting another Clio after a near enough 20 year break

    If the mk2 had the same chassis as the mk3, the mk2 would be the king without a doubt.

    Getting another Clio after a near enough 20 year break

    Having owned a mk2 cup and a mk3 200, the chassis on the mk3 is superior to the mk2. The brake setup of the mk3 is also better, but that’s what you would expect when you’ve got 4 pots up front. And let’s be honest, the brakes on the mk2 can be made to be awesome with the right disc/pad combo...

    “Charlotte” The 182 FF

    And for the record, I didn’t leave the bolts loose 😂😂

    T. Turbo is back

    You can get rubber hose that uses the push fit AN fittings mate. Speedflow and Earls both do the hose and it’ll withstand plenty of pressure. I’ve used both successfully without issue. But, -6 is horrific to push the hose tail in. -8 is easier, but still tight and -10 is an absolute doddle lol!

    Bird poo

    You can use a hair dryer or a heat gun on low heat to remove bird etching quite well. You just have to make sure you don’t get the panel too hot and bubble the paint. I’ve done it successfully on a few cars now where it’s etched into the lacquer.

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    Let me see if I’ve got an old flywheel up in the garage loft. If I have, you can have it for whatever the postage costs are.

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    I’d get it sent to Beaniesport mate. They’ll refresh it for you so it’s tip top. 👍🏻

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    So in theory, the idea sounds simple and like it’ll work. But the issue comes with removing material from the standard flywheel isn’t really ideal as it can weaken them as they’re only cast. I can’t give you any measurements either I’m afraid as I don’t have a flywheel that I could measure. I...

    Mondial 172 Cup OEM+ / Rolling Resto

    Small amount of polishing evident on some of the bores, but the that’ll hone out.
  24. NorthloopCup

    Yay, another problem!

    Header tank is in that area as well mate
  25. NorthloopCup

    Yay, another problem!

    That’s a lot of water coming out mate! No coolant pipes at the back of the engine except for heater matrix. Can’t distinguish which side it’s coming from, but could stat housing, heater pipes or water pump.

    How do you remove excess polish from plastic trim?

    I’ve used a pencil eraser to remove polish residue from plastic trims. It’s very effective

    Should a rebuilt F4R engine (RS200) eating oil after run-in?

    Well all we can hope for is a good outcome on your behalf mate.

    Should a rebuilt F4R engine (RS200) eating oil after run-in?

    The thing is, people make mistakes. It’s just part and parcel of being a human being. But not everyone seems to be able to own their mistakes, and it’s how mistakes are rectified that shows the kind of human you are.

    Should a rebuilt F4R engine (RS200) eating oil after run-in?

    I think the cat was well and truly out of the bag before I confirmed the name mate.

    No point pussy footing around is there!
