Might be worth someone storing it as sure it may be worth something in future. If cheap enough might be worth getting some work done on it.....

Worth something in the future ??

Wonder if this will go for silly money!

I read in EVO that you can get a 172 engine for well under £2k brand new. Not bad i thought!

 

[Ali]

spk to Matt, you can get one alot cheaper than 2k. Complete

 

[Fred@BTM]

£1200 NEW from matt

Yeah Matt Black has a few new 172 engines when i was last up there, he's certainly not short of stock, the place is chocka with renault goodies lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

he had 100 F4R 736's (all new) on the shelf once when i went!

Well judging on Williams Engine premiums and with only 500 Trophy's, engines will be scarce and go for a premium when a Trophy owner comes to look for a replacement.

whats the difference between a trophy engine and a 182/172 eng??

 

[rory182]

its just a normal 182 engine nobody in their right mind would pay more for it cause its a 'trophy' engine

 

[Dan@SJM]

nothing between the 182 and the trophy, but the 172 has a different exhaust manifold and a slightly different fuel map.

 

[M1TCH]

exactly what i was going to say rory. its still a 182 so isnt worth anymore apart from renault technicians 'apparently' hand picked the 500 engines for the best performing ones.

 

[rory182]

hand picked my ass lol i bet they never have 500 built at the same time, maybe I'm wrong but I'm a cynic lol

 

[beatjunkie]

'hand picked' yeah right probably just the ones in the corner left over surely its only handling better on the trophy and a few other bits and bobs?
