oh i will!!! its my hobby
haha only jokingthats a gates/QH cambelt kit as that isn't a renault oe tensioner, but i'm 100% sure that belt tension is wrong
the little sticky out bit on the back of the tensioner is in the correct slot i assume?

Yes mate, 'sticky out bit' is in the correct slot, only one place it can go iirc. As far as the make, I haven't got a clue, kit was bought from Renault but may not be oe tensioner.

there's 2 types of oe tensioner, yours is one I've seen a few of so that's not an issue. does look like it's the wrong way up, but if the cut out is lined up, it wont cause an issue, the tensioner works on an eccentric cam, just looks like you've gone past the point of maximum tension and back down.

Cut outs are 100% lined up, checked, double checked and even took it all off and started again. Every time the allen key point (B) endded up in that position to get points 6&7 to be aligned correctly. Don't think there will be any issues ( will be kept very quiet if there is now though
lol)
'92 172, Lotus Elise
eh?
I initially did mine aligning B and 7, but was told this was wrong (and the belt wasn't very tight) and so I re-did it aligning 6 & 7...

Stage 2 172 Turbo
Been a while but at last she is finished as far as the work I can do for the time being and is now in K-tec's capable hands for the final mapping etc.
Finished engine bay
And finally on her way to K-tec. Only just left and already can't wait to get it back and drive it for the first time.
Has come a long way since I go it just over a year ago but there is still loads to do.
Thanks to everyone for taking time to read my thread so far, I will keep you all updated once its back and as I said there is plenty left yet!!!

Won't be daily use, tbh probably won't get used as much as I would like. Going to try and get a few track days in when I can but I don't get much time away from work at the moment
Stage 2 172 Turbo
Its been a long wait but got her back from ktec last week, still got to run the new engine in and only have low boost at the moment - about 10psi which should be around 230bhp but my god its fast. Cant wait for the remaing 600 miles to be complete so I can get everything re-mapped, boost controller fitted and turn the boost up to give me 280-300bhp.
The sound is amazing, sounds like a bloddy rally car!! Will get some vid's up once I've recharged the video camera.

Videos may have to wait a bit longer, this is the current state of my car:dead:.
Not as bad as it looks, the PAS pump decided it didn't want to play anymore and let go big time! ended up driving 20 miles with fluid smeared all over the windscreen in the rain, and hoping the pump didn't seize and throw the belt off into the cam belt.
Have only had time to do 430 miles so far so still running her in but will get some video's up once its fixed.......again
Cheers
