what a boring selection!
VAG have their 160bhp 1.9TDI in an ibiza for christ sake and the clio gets 106bhp from a 1.5DCI i know which id pick!!!
and 1 extra bhp out of the 1.6! great :boring: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
needless to say i wont be getting a new clio
that is f**king crazy
100db right behind ur head is plenty enough........
wouldnt wanna put it in a clio thought - ud have panels falling off all over the place!
what the f**k can it be? ive had the spare and tool kit out this evening and still it rattles
had a look at the heat sheild and nothings touching
driving me frickin mental!!
Well afaik
pros: make it run better, gain a lil bit of power
cons: costs a fair amount, wont gain as much per £ as bigger engined cars
at a guess.... i dont really know tbh lol
yeah i read the thread on here about the heat sheild rattle and thought it might be that
sounds a bit like my exhaust has a hole in it - and yet it doesnt.......
i will have to investigate further this evening
ok i took the back seats out the other day (to transport a washing machine) and havent put the seats back in yet
on the way into work this morning there is a craaaazy rattle coming from the back/boot area! its caused by the exhaust (it isnt the exhaust) vibrating but cant for the life of me...
they arent hard to fit.... why dont you fit them and take it to them to set it up?
even with VERY basic knowledge & a little help from the guide on here (dunno where it is now) i managed to fit mine
no aware of anything specific
rattles can be an issue but not a lot u can do about that
just take it out for a drive press all the buttons to make sure everything works and if it seems solid enough and runs alright then not a lot more u can do (hpi check of course)
you could have a go at fitting urself? then get tracking checked.........
incidently i think i parked up next to ur car at the weekend at the hotel? sunglasses on the dash parked across 2 spaces?
the only problems ive had with 2 ktec exhausts is that they have been fitted by me :D
other than that theyve been pretty good although i must agree the welds are a little messy on mine
if you wanna go down the tuning N/A route give BenR a shout! he seems to think the 1.6 16v engine is quite good for tuning and if ur willing to put in the cash it would give worthwile gains
i have no idea about turbo conversions however
it would be very expensive though as most of it would...
