Look what just arrived !

[PrincessJessica]

i wanted to get my manifold all shiny before french car show to go with the header tank but rather than be without a car i bought another manifold to put on my car whilst mine is being polished. does that make sense??

 

[domjolly]

take it you have a bit of dollar lol

 

[Leeshez]

Why not send the one you bought to get polished? Saves time.

 

[PrincessJessica]

well not really lol. after mines polished im gonna get this one polished and sell it. hopefully before french car show

 

[Hazza]

Then she can't use her car?

 

[PrincessJessica]

Then she can't use her car?

ta

 

[tommyboy]

I'm confused, it's still too early for me to understand women's logic

 

[Clart]

[Hazza]

[PrincessJessica]

Hope you bought the rite plenium...mind 172 and 182 are different.

Looks cracked too?!

 

[Christopher]

aye, different manifolds for Mk1 172, Mk2 172 and 182

 

[PrincessJessica]

it not cracked just v dirty.

a friend of mine does alloy bits (my header tank) and has a polisher that will do the job.

 

[Meek_racing]

well not really lol. after mines polished im gonna get this one polished and sell it. hopefully before french car show

Give me a shout if your selling it i've been looking around for a 182 plenum for polishing... having a polished one already would be a bonus

 

[Christopher]

.

 

[Meek_racing]

will there be a part number on the casting to tell the difference?

 

[Christopher]

aye, i'll get the part numbers for you tomorrow lad.

they are stamped on the reverse side of the plenum

 

[Meek_racing]

Thanks chappo! Hope she hasn't got the wrong one

 

[PrincessJessica]

i called renault and they said they aint stamped on the bottom :S

 

[Meek_racing]

Dont ask them bunch of monkies. If it involves getting off their bottoms and on Lunch break then forget it...

Call Yozzasport maybe? I think they will know whats what... If not then maybe some measurment areas that will help you identify it...

 

[Meek_racing]

All casting should have some form of stamp or number coding, otherwise quality control and assembly problems can occur... I assume all have numbers anyway

 

[Ali]

i called renault and they said they aint stamped on the bottom :S

Here pics below. (Note the bolt spacing is different)

172

182

[RichMcc]

Im never polishing another piece of metal as long as I live!

 

[PrincessJessica]

so have i got the right/wrong one then??? anyone know . . .

 

[RichMcc]

take it out to your car, and see if the bolt spacing lines up

 

[DH_GTI]

looking at your pics i would say you have the wrong one. sorry

 

[Da]

Did you buy this off ebay?

 

[caymanr26]

im pretty sure thats for the plenham and inlet - which is very cheap!

 

[Justin182]

Could get an inlet match while your at it !

 

[Ali]

Thats the wrong plenium for your car...99% sure.

 

[Meek_racing]

Cheap as chips! Yes, matched and polished all together... ooo then remap... God im going to be skint soon!!

I hope this isn't the wrong plenum for her Pretty sure it will sell tho!
