Agreed.

The earlier Megane 2.0 engines are the F7R - the same, bar a few minor details, as the Williams/Spider and make 150bhp (found in 1.8/137bhp form in the Clio 16v). As most Williams that get RRs prove, the 150bhp seems to be a conservative power figure. Later Megane 2.0s are 140bhp units and...

There are still a lot of Valvers in the over £4k price bracket, but itll have to be a minter to make that.

This is for "special people": Fill in all the double glazing, porno and catalogue reply slips so they start to get massive amounts of unwanted visits from Stannah Stairlifts and cant open the door for pornographic toy catalogues. Also periodically send them parcel bags full of banana skins...

I really dont think a 1.5LSi is in the same ballpark as a 172?

(I dont think hes gay Ben) ;)

Leigh - the 19 TD one is the same as the Williams! Not the same as the 16v! Sorry, dont know if 19 16v and Clio 16v boxes are the same - but I doubt it as the 19 16v will probably have different ratios as it is a heavier car.

Yeah, but back in the day, it was something special to have "16v" written on your car! Now even the most bum cars have 16v engines... but most 1.8s still make less than the Valver...

Yeah - come on - own up!!! Whats the cars history mate??

Come on BenJ - there has to be some secret tuning under that bonnet of yours! Isnt a bit suspicious that your car was making about 10bhp more ATW than most 16vs on the day and was only 1bhp ATW behind mine??? Even AaronCs made about 10bhp less ATW than yours (admittedly at a different RR)...

All this "16v" and "16v" business is really confusing! I think people should say straight up if theyve got a 1.2 or a Valver!! A Valver would completely and utterly cane a Quicksilver, but a 1.2 would be close (I reckon in the 1.2s favour).

Smartus Maximus!

Heres my Phase2 16v so you can see the wheels. The Phase2 wheels are Speedline five-spokes with a centre cap (also on the 19 16v). I dont have a pic of the Phase1 wheels. (Car is on a funny dip so suspension looks higher/lower than it really is!)...

New bottle (old one cracked) and coolant flushed out properly! It cant be all go and no show you know!!

Yeah, even if you find some Willy alloys then theyre often scruffy. Not many Willys get written off in a year (although it does happen!) and 99% of Willy owners keep their cars standard on the outside. Your best bet if you want the tidy look is to find some 16v wheels as theyre 15s and suit...

Hi mate - Im in Bristol Uni (well, finishing my MSc in a few weeks). This is a Williams: http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/williams/1485-3.jpg http://www.cliosport.net/specs/16v.jpg ...and this is a 16v. They both share the same pumped-up exterior. A Mk1 Clio has to be the way to...

Yup - your local Citizens Advice Bureau (Bureaux for plural) will be able to help. You shouldnt need professional legal help with this, but if you do, then the CAB is usually able to call on the services of a solicitor if needs be - depending on how serious your case is relative to others. I...

:oops:

Was just going to post the same myself!! Have the copy in front of me. Selected highlights: Lap time: CTR: 1.26.56 Cup: 1.27.03 VTS: 1.27.55 (y) 106 GTi: 1.27.86 Caterham 1.4: 1.27.87 Astra GSi Turbo: 1.28.25 206 GTi 180: 1.28.65 Cooper-S: 1.28.90 MG ZR 160: 1.29.09...

Theres too much other crap around (mainly from when that spark plug flew out of my engine) to tell. It doesnt seem that clean to me though. But the good news is that the repair to my head, which I thought had locked one of the spark plugs in, is actually OK (bar the fouling of the top of...

Heres my one - its been on now for about 15,000 miles. Whenever I open my bonnet, it always catches peoples eye. http://images.cardomain.com/member_img_b/286000-286999/286766_22_full.jpg

Ive been looking to do this myself, though I cant decide if its my bad pouring of oil around the cap or the gasket thatc causing oil to enter my spark plug wells. The gaskets for the 16v/Willy/Megane 1.8/2.0 F7P/R cost about £5-8, depending on where you go. Might as well get the best...

The Mk1 Clio (powered by the 16v, then Willy engines) was a Group A rally brute: http://images.cardomain.com/member_img_b/286000-286999/286766_27_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_img_b/286000-286999/286766_3_full.jpg

First of all, Pearlescent Black or Xerus Grey are very nice colours! Apart from blue, theres no obvious colour choice and there is a variety of rare and desireable colours to be had - including the mega-rare Tungsten Grey and Green (Phase1 only). Id print this off if I were you! Read the...

My Valver pulls like a train to *20 and then creeps above that. Most people seem to be able to get well over 130mph indicated, but I never can. The most Ive ever seen is about 127mph. However, I had a top speed run with a Focus ST170 the other day on a possibly the UKs most pointless and...

Thats odd. Isnt yours the one with 20-something k on the clock? My starter motor is fine at 99k miles. I hear that the diesel one fits and is cheaper.

I just hacked mine off!! Hit them with a hammer from the rear and destroy them!! Worked a treat for me, but then I was having the bumper repainted too! Youll need new screws/clip mounts if you follow this method.

What happened to the Stealth/Original look Mat?! Youve gone down in my estimations!;)

Hmmm...now that really is "Hall of Mirrors" styling!
