Ill try lowering it to £950 and see if that works. Im moving out of the country in just over a week so if I dont sell it ill have to leave it with someone to sell on my behalf. Would have been advertised sooner but I was getting some spraying done to cover a scratch. The body shop did a...

I was thinking of dropping the price. I wasnt sure if that would work so good, dont people thing its a crap heap if its too cheap? As long as I get £850 for it Ill be happy. It currently in my local papers and free car mag. I havent put it on auto trader. I actually have a week to sell the...

I am selling my car and looking at the prices others are asking mine seems to be reasonable. Heres the specs: 1993(L) Clio RSi 1.8 blue, 102k, 6 months tax and MOT, sportex exhaust, original alloys, cat1 alarm & immobiliser. MP3 cd player, PAS, EW, ESR, RCL, FSH. looking around mine is...

Anyone know if the idle spped control valve is the same on all mk1 clios? I need one for my rsi. After talking to renault several times about it and being given 3 different prices for, suposedly, the same item I have no faith in my local renault garge to actually order the correct part...

I tried sealing mine on the outside, lifted the plastic up and put sealant under it. I also sealed the inside, pulled all the roof lining down. Nothing worked at all! Im just glad its fixed now, its defo worth the money. Now that I dont have any water in the car I have noticed the my...

Ive got black diamond grooved discs and green stuff pads on the front and standard on the back. Ive never had break fade with them even after breaking from 100 down to nothing as fast as is possible without skidding, with quite heavy use directly before that also. I didnt think they were...

After trying several options sealing the thing myself I decided to get it done properly. With quotes ranging from £115 to over £300 I went with the cheapest option as the guy seamed to be the most knowledgeable. Now I have no leaks! Just waiting for the car to dry out now. If anyone needs...

checked stearing rack? mines loose and cluncks when turning at low speeds.

Is the valver streaing rack the same as the RSI one? I need a new rack. Cheapest new one I found was GSF for £200 but you have to pay £300 then they give you £100 for your old rack. I was told by renault that you cant get refurbed power steering racks, where they wrong? where can I get me a...

Just fitted a new sportex exhaust. I wasnt expecting much difference in performance, and well, at first I though there wasnt any. Acceleration seams to be pretty much the same. What I did notice after a few miles of driving is that where the power used to drop of very sharply @ 5500rpm, I can...

i called ktec, no kit for the rsi, only the 16v. Ive found a place to get the straight pipes from but ill have to get the radiator pipe from renault or see if gsf do one.

Wheres the best place to get silicone water hosing? I sprung a leak last night and need to replace the two water pipes that go into the water filter and the one in the same place that goes to the radiator. The oil filter pipes are just straight ones so shouldnt be too hard to source, but...

I went in there all calm last night but the guy in there said the person who had dealt with it had already gone home as I had to come back in the morning. So I went in just now and the guy was not all too happy about it but said he would take it off :) and only charge me for the wheel...

Cheers guys, Better get my angry face on!

Hi, I took my car to the garage this morning asking them to fit the front wheel bearings which I supplied and to look at the exhaust that was loose and banging the body work. When I phoned up to see if it was all ok they said teh bill was over £200. And said they fitted a new rear box...

doh, shows how much I know.

how much of a gap is there between the top of the wheel and the arch with -35mm? Im getting some 16s with low pro tyres so the radius will be the same. I just dont like it when the car sits really low. i want a gap between the the tyres and the arch

What is actually done to a car when tuning on a rolling road? What kind of power increase can I expect and how much will it cost?

Is there any kits available to lower an rsi or valver by 20mm? the smallest I have see in 35mm and I dont think I want to go that low.

Hey peeps, I rememder reading a while back and article on how to prepair your car before you do and engine mods. It covered stuff like getting it serviced and what to check and do before you start. Now I could have sworn I read it on this site but I have looked everywhere and cant find it...

thx guys, So................... What jobs should have been done on a 90k+ valver? What must have been done or I should walk away and what would be nice to have been done but is not essential? Cheers

Should I buy a valver with 112k miles on the clock? Or should I pay more for a lower mileage car? I was thinking that the 80k mile mark seams to be where all the major part need replacing. For the price im looking at cars arounf 80-90k miles. If these parts havent been replaced then im...

Apparently if you mention matey-matey you get 5% off with HIC http://www.matey-matey.com/herts-insurance.shtml

What about turning the body round so its rear wheel drive. Then link up the stearing to what was the rear wheels. Yeah, that would rock!! rock on tommy. Dun, dun, dun, dun, daaaaaaaan, dud, dud, dud, duuuuuunnn. :D

I just got new discs and pads, green stuff pads and black diamond discs, grooved ones. Im not really bothered about the pads wearing out faster as is not much for a set of pads. I found braking imporved massivley over the standard rsi brakes. U stick your foot down (on the brakes) and where I...

I would call them but im at work and supposed to be really busy so if i get on the phone and start talking about turbos I dont think my boss will be all too happy! I can make it look like im doing work while posting on here :devilish:

Has anyone got the 16v turbo conversion from the k-tec website? is it even available yet, the website isnt clear. Just wondering what it does to the 0-60 and top speed. I bet it would shift with that thing on there! Any ideas what insurance increase would be like? i can imagine its...

I never looked at where they are, I assumed they were further north. Might have to go along one day as is not too far from me.

anything ford, sorry ford drivers and novas, if they even count!
