Does the noise go away if you put the clutch in (free wheel)? If so, then its probably gearbox related, if not then id say theres a good chance its a wheel bearing!

What about the CTC Bad girl - go to http://www.ctcautofashion.co.ukwww.ctcautofashion.co.uk or i think K-Tec actually sell it now, http://www.k-tecracing.comwww.k-tecracing.com

Well ive had a 200bhp 5, thats what i swapped this Dimma Clio with, i did have some problems - but that was due to the way that GT Tuning had set the carb up, it was running too lean and detonating, it eventually melted a piston - but with a full bottom end rebuild - which could be done at home...

Ive just been speaking to GDI who is a contact i had through the Turbo owners club, if i source a turbo and oil cooler, and charge cooler - i think i could get the 16v turbo charged for under £2000.......... i know im contradicting myself but if i could do it for around £1500 i might just think...

Corsa, will always be a corsa even if it had a 3.0 v6 turbo engine - i still wouldnt have one. I think youre safe in the knowledge that the 172 has been designed by a manufacturer with quite a successful motorsport history, not some cheap dodgy german manufacturer who couldnt even win a...

172 engine would be quite good but expensive, and not really any point for the gain youd get - main reason for changing would simply be for having a Turbo - well, thats why id change s/charger and throttle bodies are too expensive........ ahh but the noise with throttle bodies..............raaaa

I would too if i could justify the waste of money, i personally would just go for a 1.4 turbo - believe me, at 20 psi the torque is really not an issue, the car would just pull like crazy no matter what - and you arent really restricted on boost due to the compression being low - where as the...

200bhp out of the GTT lump is cheaper, and more reliable mate i promise!! Its all about the fuelling, and making sure this is all set up properly, 200bhp would be easily maintained for every day driving if you had a nice GTT lump, you just have to get it setup - thats all.

Yeah valid points from everyone, but thats what im saying - if you want a Turbo Clio 16v, why not make it a Clio GTT as in my opinion this engine would suit it better as lets face it - at least it was designed to have a turbo, and theres at least enough room in the engine bay for it and a...

Yeah but how much do you think it would cost you or me to get this sort of power???? I still think wed all be better off ditching the 16v lump and getting GTT lumps rebuilt and bolted in, theyre easier to work on too remember!

Been thinking about this...........the 16v engine isnt the best in the world, and they pop the head with standard power, simply bolting a turbo on isnt going to work is it?? Lets not kid ourselves, 200bhp out of that engine just isnt going to be safe IMO! Prima did the Turbo conversion YEARS...

Forgot that on my first car i spent £100 spoiler £50 painting £100 colour coding everything
