I set my TDC with a screw driver down cylinder 1 and the timing mark was past the 0 yeah. I'll check it all again though.

My car came with a Varley redtop 20 which was near new. Dummy here kept letting it go flat and eventually it blew a cell and took my ECU with it. So either keep them on trickle charge when not in use or disconnect them.

Yes mate, Chain needs to be off the car though. I checked this chain with the new chain I'd bought and they where the same length. Saying that if manufacture of the new chain couldn't get the timing links in the right place there's no saying the chain was the correct length. What you thinking...

You get the crank sprocket timing marks as well. You cant adjust ignition timing without a standalone ECU as the c**ty Toyota ECU is un-crackable

Got this in my ebay basket, i'll get it ordered now I know it works in a MR2 (y)

Ok, so not Clio related but you lot are much more knowledgeable than most. So after the recent Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine swap into my MR2 Roadster with the new (old) 2001 150k mile engine the crossover to lift (VTEC if you will) and 6200rpm onwards is definitely not as strong as it was on the old...

500 miles per tank for me so 45 mpg. Mostly motorway in rush hour traffic. Average speed over a tank around 30 mph. RWD though so will be better than the AWD.

Yep all the time. Take my MR2 in on a Friday sometimes and you can see them all bitching like school girls. Probably saying mid life crisis blah, blah...

Has this been in for the EGR cooler recall? Mine has just been in and they said they didn't even check it and just replaced it anyway. So new EGR cooler, coolant, health check and valet for free. Oh and a new 1 series as a courtesy car for the day. Guy was saying they just replace them now as...

Go 205 45 16 Rainsport 5. Much stiffer side walls than the 3 and better all round tyre. Just done Oulton park on them in storm Dennis. Very impressive.

55 side walls would be to tall and mushy for a Clio. Stick with 205 45 16.

I just got a set of these, seem decent for the money. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Uniroyal-RainSport-5-Performance-Road-Car-Tyres-195-45-16-84V-Extra-Load-XL/302998739041?fits=Tyre+Width%3A195%7CAspect+Ratio%3A45%7CRim+Diameter%3A16&hash=item468c21d861:g:ka0AAOSwJJxd2HTG

Its finished now mate.

Haha, he's in a ep3 so will just understeer into the gravel traps. I'll be going in backwards 😂

We'll see what these are really like come Saturday as i'm at Oulton in the MR2 and Storm Dennis has just been forecast to hit 🤞

Not to bad then really, probably only cost you £1-1.5k more a year all in. It would have been more like £2.5k more expensive for me. I just figured the cost savings from the 330d over a M135i can all go towards track days in the MR2. I must say though if I ever went back to just one car I'd...

How many miles do you do a year? I would have got one but with 15-20k miles a year the hit was just to much the bear over the 330d.

Just took delivery of these and the sidewalls on the 195/50/15 still seem very soft. The 205/45/16 are much, much firmer...

83w mate

Just ordered a set of these for the MR2. 195/50/15 front 205/45/16 rear £182 delivered from Demon Tweeks Ebay shop with 15% discount code.

Haha it's not for me mate. I couldn't go back to a Clio now after driving the MR2. RWD is where it's at for track.

He advised it at £3750.

Haha, I absolutely loved mine and it never missed a beat. Saying that it was only 5 years old with 30k on it when I bought it.

Why mate?

Nope, bet it's about 120db 😂

Yeah mate was gutted it went. We're now going to see this Saturday. Bit Barry looking but its low mileage and looks in good nick with decent mods.

Rears will do 33% of the braking if working properly.

EBC pads are a strange one. Work well on some cars not on others. I use them in my MR2 and they preform well all day long and have lasted 5+ days with another day left on them. I've also used them in a fat 6MPS as well and they again performed well all day albeit needed replacing after one day...

Not yet. Someone is viewing it tomorrow so see what comes of that first.

Needs both CV boots replacing and no doubt other stuff as well. £2500!
