Yeah Ben I have started on the XROC I am thinking of buying a really cheap second car, stripping it out and tuning it to use as a weekend thrash-about.

YES!! THE CAPTAIN HAS RE-ENTERED THE BUILDING

Hmm interesting point about the multi-point conversion. I wonder if there is a way of putting the 1.6 megane engines inlet manifold onto the clio? Its an energy engine afterall so maybe there are some similarities? If the manifold fitted then the fuel rail should go in okay but I dont know...

Cheers for the quick responses I had heard that the Eagles wore quite quickly is this true? I am buying a set of alloys and dont want the crappy tyres that come with the package so I am paying a subsidised price. The guy said he can do me any of the above. I have to pay an extra: £55...

Yokohama A539 OR Pirelli P6000 OR Goodyear Eagle F1 Amyone got any advice? Cheers Ben

Yeah I thought myself. For me the ONLY real reason for the carb route would be the fact that you can pick up a second hand fair quite cheaply if you look around. Nick do you think you could estimate a ballpark figure for a throttle body setup? Also what would be needed? Cheers

Yeah that would be the ideal solution. Cheers Ill look into it

Very nice wish it fitted a mk1 :(

60mm on 17s!!! On an RT?? OMG I wish I could do that. What did you have to do and do you remember the offset of the wheels? Oh and cheers for pointing out the filler neck, probably best not to go ripping that apart! LOL

Under the rear bumper on the right hand side of the spare wheel there is a black plastic pipe looks like some kind of a duct. Its probably about 2" in diameter and there isnt one on the other side. What is it? Where does it go? What does it do? Is it essential or can it somehow be removed...

No way! lol Hmmm maybe not such a practical idea then. I was just interested in some basic £100 bucket style jobbies and kinda hoped there would still be enough room to squeeze in. The cheapest recliners are about double that price. Cheers for the help mate

See for sale board for further info

Anyone know which hose on the inlet manifold of a 1.4 RT is the Brake Servo Vacuum Hose?

Nice one Ben do you mean a proper remappable ignition system like a weber alpha? Or just a new ignition system for carbs? Any idea on rough prices? Cheers

Anyone know how much someone like Hill Power would charge to fit either a 16v or a willy engine into a 1.4 clio? Just weighing up the options as ever

Ben I just wanted to ask are these kits from http://www.noswizard.comwww.noswizard.com ? If so then they have an agent about 2 mins from my front door. If this deal goes through could I collect mine from him? Cheers

Yeah they are under pics of his fiesta

Just wondered how difficult acces to the back seats would be with bucket seats installed in the front? The base frames only slide like the originals so you cant tilt the seat forward right? Any experiences?

I spoke to Nick at Hill Power today and he basically said not to bother. he said he wouldnt advise scrapping injection for older technology carbs. He also said injection provided more efficient and more reliable power. So not much good there then. Do you know exactly what components would be...

Hmmm any idea how much they would charge? I think the only way of doing it would be to give them an inlet manifold gasket from our car (or a second hand inlet manifold from a scrappy) They would also need a twin carb manifold to see how to mate them together. The first problem though...

We would have to get one specially made and it probably wouldnt be cheap. Also it would be more likely to happen if there were a number of us after them. Ill have a look around and see if I can find anyone that might do it

okay ii turned off the bass for the fronts which has allowed me to up the gain and thus keep my head unit volume lower. much better than before thanks to all!

I will call him tomorrow and see. I bet he says "not worth it on an everyday road car" though Would be cool though eh?

How much do they charge for just a backbox?

The alternative of course is to leave the engine alone and create a really nice looking car. Just take a look at Juss car for an example of this.

Justyboy, I have the same engine and have had my clio for about a year now. A lot of people will say dont bother modding the engine, just buy a 16v or williams. Now I have no doubt that if I drove a 16v or willy just once I would be amazed and would really want one. But its not an option for me...

JESUS as in good noise or JESUS as in too much noise for a daily use car? Heres the deal. I am keeping my clio for quite some time yet. I wont sell it until I can afford a nice new car. mmmmmmmmmm clio cup So: Modifying is the only route I am interested in. Now Ben I think you said you would...
