I AM 18 & own a 1.8 16v. Do i hold a record?

Ur spare weighs about 20kg mate. Thats a lot! Only another 40kg and its as light as a Williams.

No1s mentioned BBs set, thats about 450 though mind!

Is it another example of Reno excellance then? ;)

Yeah its noticably better when using Optimax only it costs 80p a litre! As for increasing MPG, forget it. It is better cause of the higher octane rating, which causes the fuel to burn quicker/easier, thatll just mean better accleration but should give same MPG really.

Reno say 8sec, but it doesnt matter cause a standard one is rarer than a teenager owning a Saxo, Not! Have u got any pics of this Clio with R5 engine mate?

Yeah i filled mine up this week with the stuff after hearing Reno recommend a 97+ ron rating of fuel for the 16v engine. Not to much different unless u fill up when ur tanks drip dry and then put it in, but that happens when using the normal stuff. I used to notice it a LOT in my 1.4 Mk1 Clio...

My point exactly. What the feck? :confused:

Ive decided im gonna go for a 30/35mm drop then. So whats the best set peeps? Considering I want harder spring rate rear shocks, and rebound adjustable front coilovers? Whats the damage (£)? Thanx 4 all the replies so far. ;)

Try again.

R5 turbo sounds like.

Got rid of airbox? U have no air filter on the throttle body? :o

Clio? Any pics? Whats the performance like? BHP? 0-60 times?

3.5 to 4k one should think, why selling? Any pics of ur car with these Willy wheels in silver? Thanx

Urs 2 then Mehdi?

Jealous? Me too. ;)

Thought it was my monitor on the blink! Better shade though. :)

Yeah fu*k the expense use hydrolics for the bumps. ;) Was this u then Adi; http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=31535&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=31535&PagePosition=1

Well maybe pedal cable is affected by application going through ABS computer or summat silly like that. Ill try it soon anyway and cross my fingers. Thanx for the help. ;)

So you had 1 spline off the torsion bar Adi? What about clean16v? Like i said the centre exhaust box will scrap if i go any lower than 30mm!

True, cheap (relativly) & amazingly fast. Older ones are nicer looking & with an insurance group of 17/18 for a car that fast is bonkers. I must admit itd tempt me if i could insure it. Only 18, but a Cossie or a 300ZX isnt being a sheep.

Is that ur every day car though plus is it has obviously had soom engine work (group a head gasket)?

Ive heard a few mk1 8v owners say they have crap mpg. The first clio i had seemed alright but didnt really care that much at the time. I guess its all constant speed and acceraltion related, my Mk1 1.4 was awesome for motorway journeys, got to London & back on full tank from Manchester. In my...

Ha, was it worth the hasle of selling ur ECU at all? What; with standard chip it was quicker? :confused: Are any cheap engine mods effective for the valver at all?

A 16v will beat a standard one to 60 then the 5 runs out of BHP. So in standard form u can beat every1 of them out there. BRUN, my mate has a decent 5 which he runs at about 15psi (150bhp) & he has never EVER got in front of me before 60 mate. There on it motors though. High boost needs time...

That is true for mine Tom. What does the Williams do at 3grand in 5th? 16v = 60mph.

Taking the bulb outs a drawback. :)

So it doesnt work for the new Clio owners like Steve. R u sure thatll not do any damage or effect braking Ben? Any1 every done it to thier Mk1? Cheers

The 4wd advantage wont be too bad at all with a Clio on 17s im sure. If you dont care about ur clutch on a standard 16v then with 17s on and feathering the clutch at 6000rpm will give you an amazing start. Maybe not as quick as a 4wd but with Nicks putting the same power out at 3000rpm im...

Most Escort Cossies have been tuned to 300bhp so if Nick was ever to beat one ud have to lay out the red carpet next time he strolls into his school. Am i right thinking ur a teacher Nick? Ull have a few Scoobies i bet! ;) I can shock them (not beat them) in first from rolling starts but the...
