Epic thread mate! what a quality read, sorry about your old AG she was a pearl but congrats on the new one its even better I guess, some great ideas on there for a new starter like myself, will follow this post now haha.:thumbup:

Cheers mate been pretty quiet lately other than the ren flash and iv painted the manifolds. Most of my time goes into the 172 now but keep an eye out got some good plans if all goes well

I'm guessing by what you wrote on my IG, that RB is winning you over?

 

[melvin1993]

Na I'd have to have both haha
i want a RB 197 for the track and my AG for the road

Is the gearbox oil easy enough to change bud? Was thinking of doing this myself as my car is at 53,000 miles now and I doubt Renault will have changed it. What do you recommend using? C

Id recommend doing it tbh mind was only 9000 if I remember and it was black haha


i used that redline oil it's pretty expensive but it seems really good! Any fully synthetic oil would be good I think

 

[Craig211]

How much oil you need for the gearbox btw, getting mine changed at its next service (only 800 miles away)

 

[melvin1993]

2ltrs Craig just fill it until it starts to come back out the plug it quick !

Ill look into it! Something you can easily do yourself?

 

[melvin1993]

Aw yeh! If you can change oil you can do this no problem! Hardest part is screwing the filler cap back in, just do the check like how the "how to" says so make sure the wing but on the gearbox comes lose before you drain the oil haha

Sorry but Albi Blue 100%

 

[badbuzz2]

Cheers man! I'll get into doing that! Love the car by the way

 

[melvin1993]

Thank you all

Well I haven't updated for a long time not really much has been happening works been slow so no spare money really between Christmas insurance and maintaining the 172. But I got an itch yesterday and decided to buy these for it
a need k&n for the v6 box thought it might help a bit more the plan is to put in a CAF at some point off the fog light or where ever is easiest just to get more flow into it


And I also got these. Mostly for the track and because at some point this year I want to put in the 6point cage or cams but all depends on money at this point, early days tho




more to come once the post man starts delivering bits, in the pipe line in an oreca exhaust as well hopefully before April as that's when the car will be going back on the road from it's winter hibernation

how do you find the new springs? been thinking about buying some. would love KW coilovers but they are quite expensive, does it improve handling or is it just for looks? a friend of mine told me not to get some as the damper won't be able to compress and stuff properly.

 

[melvin1993]

I think the ride is a little more bumpy but not much tbh and it feels like it's more settled in the corners than before but that could be the bracing working. Yet to try it on the track so hopefully I'll know better soon. I want KWs as well but it's just the price!

 

[James17]

hmm ok, yeah that would be cool if you could give more feedback once you know a bit more.

 

[melvin1993]

i do like them just want to see if it really upsets it or if you even notice it going really hard

 

[ZanderAce]

Need a meet up soon!
