I thought the Clio had decent performance when I first bought mine. That was coming from a 300hp/300 ft-lb MPS 6. Seating position and steering wheel is terrible I agree but easily sorted. A induction kit and exhaust really does bring the car alive not in performance so much just the drama and...
Looks like good fun Mark. Bet the power steering pump takes a beating though? Need to try one in the MR2. My sense of direction is shocking though and would no doubt mess it up.
Hot engine oil will usually make it's way back down to the sump within 10 minutes. Never really seen much difference in leaving it over 10 minutes and over night, 100ml or so difference maybe. Done a lot of dipstick level testing recently after my bottom end went due to low oil.
Pagid DOT 5.1 is fine. Used it in all my track cars over the years. You can get a 5L from ECP for the price of 1L of ATE type 200.
Also used ATE type 200 and Castrol RBF for comparison.
Someone wants my windscreen from the Octavia I'm breaking but not a clue how to remove it. There's no rubber seals on the outside.
How the hell do you remove them?
For the sake of £30 I've offered it at I just dont think it's worth the hassle?
Seat time 100%. Brakes and tyres done and suspension and bushes fresh and just enjoy. I loved mine in this form. Once you've reached the limit of the car you'll know what you need.
Tight arse mods:
Brakes: PBS pads front, Pagid OE rear pads, discs and 5.1 DOT fluid
Springs: AMAX from ECP
Not so tight arse mods:
Brakes: DS1.11 front pads, PBS rear pads and Pagid OE rear discs with 5.1 DOT fluid
Coilovers: BC racing DR 10kg front/8kg rear
£120 for the IC mate. To fit, drain coolant, bumper off, separate air con rad from OE IC, fit new IC, reverse the first steps. You will need to trim your OE IC pipes as well.
If on the original K03 that will be up in the not so distant future, especially if mapped. Mine started to go at 132k. Not the end of the world though as the units are cheap enough and not to bad of a job. They come out from the top.
Decent mate. All what needs doing is done. Just keep an eye on oil consumption.
I still have loads of goodies if you want some bits. Ferodo pads, S3 IC, S3 short shift, Apple/Android player etc
