Water hoses! Yep, they look better, but are far stronger. Old hoses tend to split, especially with standard saggy engine mounts. I got fed up with them keep splitting, so changed to samco and never had a problem again. My carb trumpets used to rub against the heater matrix pipe when...

What sort of times do you run the 1/4 in?

I see what you are getting at, you want to know if the ports on the 1.6 and the 1.4 line up so that you can fit the MPi onto your 1400? The best way is to look at the part numbers for the inlet manifold gasket for both engine, and see if they are the same. If they are not, ask if you can see...

Yep, its deffo the 1.2 16v The bigger ccs have the engine capacity i.e. 1.4 16v etc.

Youll probably find the 1.2 either wasnt a 1.2 anymore or it has a string of mods done to it. For next to nothing you can fit the CAM, manifold, system, from a GTE, fit the twin choke carb from an SR and have a pretty nippy 1.2. Novas are so easy to play with, most people have! Dont forget...

Oh, by the way, the badge I really want to get for the back of my Clio is...... 1.2 16v or something along those lines, so people know what there dealing with, chuckle. The Nova my friend and I have built used to get mistaken for a 2.0 16v all the time, so weve added 1.4 to the back, and...

Agreed, But, it is often very difficult to find any sort of tailgate lettering that complements the standard font already found on the rear of ones car. Ive seen many attemt thats been bought from halfords! MC

Hang on a minute, are we talking about the badge that just says SPORT? If so, putting it on a car like mine wouldnt be a crime, as although mine isnt a 172, it is still a Renault Clio Sport, as labeled in the Brochure and all paperwork. From the back, there is little difference between the...

The TBs are the cheap bit, and youll find that most on the market are actually made by Jenvy (despite what they are badged up as). You can pick these up for a few hundred £££. We contacted Jenvy direct, but actually managed to get them cheaper through Velos Motorsport. The more expensive bit...

I think the quickest Nova at our last Shootout was a 2.0 16v and that ran 12.8ish. The fastest 1.6 ran 14.7, and the fastest 1.4 was about 15.3. I think the average 2.0 16v Nova was just below 15 seconds, and the slowest was around 15.5. My 1.6 was on Twin 40s, with a cam, head work and an...

Hi M8, Did you find out what the second diagnostic function was on the trip display? MC

Yep, I know Brett. I spoken to him plenty of times, and it was because his car was in the body shop last year that I managed to nab his track time at trax. Ill sound them out on the Nova site, and maybe well do a joint venture. Im a little tied up at the moment with Trax and Ive got a mag...

Ive thought about Turbocharging the 1.2 16v. I think the manifold will be fine, but the problem will be the engine. Im sure a low pressure setup will work without too many problems, although the gains might not be worth it. I read about a FOCUS that was supercharged at low pressure without...

Ill take part, probably in my Nova rather than the Clio though. Ill stand a better chance of winning something. (my old 1.6 8v used to do 15.1) I might be tempted to run the old Clio if I get my current plan finished in time. If you want a point of contact, I am an administrator for...

Any ideas anyone? Mine reads 0.5ish at idle, not 2.0 as said b4. It also rises to around 25ish accelerating hard and when on overun it drops to 0.0 M.C.
