IIRC magnisium wheels only have a shelf life of 2 years. They go brittle apparently. No need to go down this route as theres plentyof far lighter alloys available for a fraction of the cost of mags

How about aftermarket springs and shocks? Eibach springs are meant to be good and their progressively wound so shouldnt be too hard.

Sorry for the dumb question but just interested to know. Are all ph1's fitted with 3 horn buttons, 2 x steering wheel, 1 x left hand stalk, or have i got a freak ? :o

You'd struggle to find Superleggera's anyway. Their like rocking horse poo in a 15 Ultraleggera's are slightly heavier but sure their also slightly stronger ? Was that not the reason why the super was originally ditched ?

Noooo dont start a new trend. It was found in the other topic not to make much difference :dapprove: Last thing we need is half a dozen new topics a week on ''what gains to be had by removing the aircon'' ;)

Looks like its been on the back of a recovery truck and theyve forgot to take the rachet strap off

Isnt the aircon unit quite heavy too ??

If you mean retail as in Renault that aint true for all of them. Mine wanted just under 500 iirc

Why? never heard of anyone having a problem, not even on the turbo'd ones SC is progressive power not one mad hit of boost

Emmissions regs, general compromise and noise probably. Your engine will be fine mate

Best thing to do is test drive options rather than listen to the usual waffle of crap on here. Half the haters have never even been near a charged Clio, they base their opinions on peak figures and costs

Just a word on power pointless for the road posts by a couple. This might be the case if you live in a city but for us who live in the sticks surrounded by A , B, roads, 44 tonne HGV's, caravan's everywhere you go during the summer, sunday drivers etc etc having a car with serious grunt is a...

Maybe worth checking your lambda's. That aint normal unless your giving it maximum death everywhere. Normal driving should be mid to high 30's average

From what iv read the experts on here have come to the conclusion that they cant see how it can physically fail. Not sure if they know what the actual noise is tho? Think sideways danny has oiled a few which have done this with success. IMO for what it costs probably better replacing the...

Spring kit isnt a normal gasket. Think GSF (think thats the bit?) have it as a seperate item iirc

Wonder if that cat mod really makes a difference or if its just in theory...?

The guys talking out his ring end. Sounds spot on for a dephaser issue. Buy new too. Not worth messing about seen as the next time you'll need to be in that area all being well will be 5 years time of 60 odd extra k's on the clock

AST's run coil over shock just found. Maybe its just the top end stuff :S

Ah right. Thought with coilovers it was coil over shock. Maybe different kinds have different ways.

Sorry to thread crash but is that some sort of aftermarket seat where your spring sits on the axle? (the black bit that goes up to the height of the 2nd coil) Mines just like the top part, a rubber moulding. That looks a far better and safer fit for the spring. Is it part of the suspension...

Mine was 134 @ the wheels standard from memory. 150 @ wheels would be roughly mid 180's fly wouldnt it ??

Wouldnt touch Kwikfit with a barge pole.

Of course im being sarcastic. Since when did ''106'' and ''superior build quality'' ever feature in the same sentance :dead::o

Too much. Infact, it would be a insult to be even given it free

Yeah the 106 is a far superior car. The build quality is 2nd to non, you just feel so safe and compact in them. Also their one of the most reliable cars on the road. I have mates who have never had a problem with them at all. Also they have a bit of class. You wouldnt get chavs and neds...

^^Dont you mean a few years lol Has this thing ever sold or has it had various owners that keep chopping it in??

Its up to you mate. Front wheels look far better pushed out that little bit further in those huge ph1 arches and the handling difference is greatly improved. Rears sit just right.

Only if you go mad on the size. 5mm's nowt

High mileage is not a problem as long as its been looked after.

So far so good and iv been running this way for 2 years approx without problems. Theres very little exhaust movement and if there was the other 2 mounts soak it up plus would probably wear before damaging manifolds as its front to back movement etc.
