Thanks!

Hey all, Just wanted to ask how much it is costing people to have their Brembo's machined to fit a 172? Thanks!

I got both from here........... http://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/renault-clio-sport-172-2-0-petrol-driveshaft-off-side-cv-joint-2000-2005/ There were issues with the boots being too big/stretchy on them and catching on the casting tabs of the block but this seems to have been rectified. £100 for...

Hi mate, I dealt with a guy called Rob, from Armour Auto Locksmiths. Sorted it no problem. Link to the FB page below. Hope this helps, Tom. https://m.facebook.com/Armour-Auto-Locksmith-481141668710764/

Nah, got an auto locksmith out and then got an imob bypass

R888 are a List 1B tyre so a no go for me. I'm struggling myself as to what to go for for next year! Has to be something from 1A, but at least I've got till April to find something. Any recommendations welcome!!:wink:

Yeah, tried everything listed in the posts on here. Hence auto electrician, need to know if it's a broken wire/immobiliser fault/ whatever it is?! So annoying. Went to the car this morning and it was fine!

Hi All, Car will turn over but wont fire! Immobiliser light either stays on solid or flashes. Can anyone recommend an auto electrician or someone with CLIP local to Newton-Le-Willows, Warrington area? Want to find out exactly what the problem is. Cheers!

So if the down pipe is 2.5" how is a 2.5" system excessive? Surely all it will do is aid in flow....... As long as the back pressure is ok.............

Anyone know what size the manifold down pipe is into the exhaust?

You're right dude. Gonna use a specially made mandrel and fly press to expand the pipe to make perfectly formed slip joints. Should be far more accurate than a normal pipe expander.

TIG yes, and thinking of sleeving the tubes, welding lugs on and then using exhaust springs to pull them together. Thats how my uncle did it on his system. Seals really well and less weight etc........... I'll grab some pics over the weekend, easier than trying to explain it:yum:

Nice one @M.C.. Anyone have a pattern for one? Or am I making it up as I go along? The plan at the moment is to get the car up this weekend take some measurements and order the tube and bends! Might even do a build thread when it happens....................

Oreca's system and the KTR ones use 2.5" tubing, was thinking along the lines of something like this Only difference will be that the backbox will be riveted so they can be drilled out and it re-packed

Hi All, Cant decide on an after market exhaust for the car, so..................... I'm going to make one (with help from an uncle who made a custom titanium one for his kitcar - including manifold!), it will be de-catted, with just a re-packable backbox to suit track noise limits. Has anyone...
