best bit of help u can get at this point is go for the 1.4 turbo r5 engine as its got loads more tuning potential and should u register it will have cut price road tax ;)
[Edited by jabba on 25 May 2004 at 3:37pm] 480/460/440 all had the 1.7 lump which was a renault engine anyway!
need a de cat for a mk2 i think powerflow wanted 100 odd squid, for a bit of f**king metal with 2 flanges weleded on :confused: wheres the best place?
also wots the crack with the lamba sensor?
have u got a fat missis now?
subsidence?
TBH as long as the handelings ok, the springs/shocks are fine then as long as its not bottomin out, no prob.
the rears on a torsion bar so its pretty hard for that to lower, try pumping your up your tyres! ;)
depends on how badly u wanna fuk your handeling/car up mate! defo no more than 60mm although id do 40mm personally, but then again ive seen someones car nearly torn in half from over lowering and the stress it puts on the chassis :cry:
just a thought, as u say its fine when warm but sh*t when cold. your car has an automatic choke which comes on when cold startin etc if its bust then your car will stutter and generally be sh*t till the engines warmed up. tbh ive only had my 172 for a monthish so im not bang up to date with...
ok i heard that the megane 225 uses a 172 engine is this true??
if so then what parts do i need obviously the manifold, turbo, cooler etc, what about pistons are they the same (doubt it) compression? etc
ohh and ill need a dump valve :D
clio with 225 bhp = laters mr imprezza/r32/ctr etc

i never said i went out lookin for dangerous races thou did i, im actually quite careful in that respect and leave races which either start gettin hairy etc or go into silly speeds. but i did buy my car coz its quick & not just coz of its shiny badges etc :)
LOL i think i need reminding as to why people buy these cars in the first place (im sure weve got a whole section here dedicated to drivin tales hmm)if they think only total idiots look for races, i think its u lot that should be in the 1.2s not the other way round ;)
