Looks like it goes really well that! Agree with what you say above, it looks like it's currently tyre limited!

Think ive been too long out of a 2.0 16v, been messing about with those 1.2 things and took this round the block and it felt like a rocket 😂

This thing has been sitting for a year! - I originally got a replacement engine from Renparts for £150 but it was pumped so got a refund and told to "dispose of it" - My camera down the plug hole showed loads of pitting on the cylinder walls, which when i then checked the failed engine in the...

The roof rippled on my 1.2 16v when I was 17 with the standard engine and coilovers 😂

Shaft was clicking and knocking, cheap enough from Autodoc to replace, done lower arms and ARB links while i was at it as they looked like they had seen better days! The febi arms come with all new mounting hardware which was nice! Bonnet latch felt horrible on it and didn't open or close...

Scrappys are still full of mk2 Clio's with good condition factory lines for under the car I've just popped a set on one of mine as someone had replaced them with something resembling spaghetti

Definitely! it always seems to fall on my weekend on at work but ill definitely get over

In 2026, in fact even in 2006 that's just not an excuse. I wouldn't give them a penny after the issues I had with my akrapovic, and I must have spent thousands with them over the last 20yrs!

Looks good!

Doesn't look any worse than any other timing chain to be fair in the videos I watched when I was looking at buying my Mégane.

My mates got a couple of these and they are really sturdy, nice storage + workbench. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/stc5500b-stainless-steel-work-bench

Some new toys for this haha Ive got it all installed and running, but going to order some carpet and get some MDF and do a false floor in the boot to mount the amp onto and tidy all the wiring etc! early 2000s style!
