Wise words.

No, the main and most notable difference/issue is the difference in throttle control (cable on ph1 and electric on ph2. That said though, it's possible to put the ph2 motor in, but you will face a slight difference with the looms!

OK, it does sound more like an immobiliser problem than anything else, there's a few ways to reset the ECU to try and get it to sort the immobiliser out, one method I know of is to turn the key to position two and disconnect the battery for a few minutes.

& can you get the engine to turn over? If so does it stop after a couple of seconds or keep going till you stop turning the key?

Great pics, it's an amazing weekend - I went last year and met Ken Block/Kris Meeke etc. Really wanted to go this year but it couldn't happen. It's on the calendar for next year!

These look like good power gains for a Willy engine! Cosmetically the car looks good too, top work!

LOLz. Nice.

Top quality pics there! That Lotus looks awesome in red.

Good work guys!

Tidy example! The darker colour of the wheels makes a nice subtle difference!

Should we tell him?! :eek: Lol.

Yep! Even if it's been standing still it still needs doing if it's going to be used properly, to be safe.

Interesting one. My parts database says it is indeed a 2005 172 Cup registered on 10/10/05 as it says on the eBay listing. A late registration perhaps, it does happen, the low-ish mileage would also back this up.

Fair one! Well like I say it's not your usual Turinis/Speedlines alot of Clios have fitted, so even on an RT they'd look alright (if they fit?!) EDIT: Just make sure it doesn't look like this :P

If they are then you've got something pretty unique! What are you putting them on?

LOLZ @ everyone finding the web page at the same time...

Ah yes, http://www.renault.co.za/brochure/megane_berline_4_portes/Sedan-Brochure-Large.pdf, Look at Page 8/9...

* And yes, V6/197 wheels have 5 stud set-up!

Interesting one! I think all Turinis have 11 spokes, you're right, as pictured: Are yours a 16" rim? I have a feeling they could be another brand, not Speedline, with an aftermarket Renault centrecap? I'm sure they're not V6 wheels, as these have 16 spokes and are a 17" rim IIRC!

Eerie!

What do you think of the Viezu remap?

Fair one!

Did you get this sorted in the end?

And you'd say it's a "clonking" rather than a "tapping"?!

Did you get this sorted in the end with a new (revised) wiring loom pandoo?

Some brilliant snaps, the quality of the colours and sharpness of the imagery is very eyecatching, well done.

Looks tidy! I quite like the seats, look fairly OEM which I'm guessing is the look you're going for?! Any future plans?

WD40, and lots of it!

Yeah no worries! Auto testing is good fun. I saw someone participating in a MKII 1.2 16V Clio at the weekend and I was curious as to how it would handle. The driver was from Ireland (the Irish seem to be really good at autotests!) He could literally make the car dance! I asked if it was running...

Fitting a steering rack from a 1.2 model would not improve turning circle on a 172. They're basically the same as they're for the same chassis for the same width of car etc. I work on autotest cars sometimes (similar to autotest cars) and they're generally fitted with aftermarket steering racks...
