Clio V6 Mk1 or a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo.

If a GroupN filter can alter gear ratios then Ill eat my hat!

The handbook for the 1995 Clio recommends the use of 95 or 98ron fuel - but that certainly doesnt say anything about Optimax! As I understand it, the 16v ECU will change the settings to accomodate either 95 or 98ron and so no difference will be noticeable. I use a good quality fuel whenever...

Mines not got ABS, but does have the leather.

No, this is one of the first BB Tuning ones that is a customers car. Very nice.

In Bristol - flat red on an N-reg. Heard a turbo whistling in the distance and a dump valve behind me and expected a Cosworth or something. But it was the BB Tuning converted Valver thats rocking around Bristol at the moment!! Wow!! It was the one I saw at Renatec (local Renault specialist)...

They do look nice dont they - and then they made this too: http://images.cardomain.com/member_img_b/286000-286999/286766_3_full.jpg

16v leather are the same seats as the 19 16v - theyre different from the "normal" 16v ones and are a very worthwhile investment for any length of journey. I dont think anyone says theyre a waste of money when theyve sat in them!

Pay a visit to your local friendly Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office my friend. A letterhead can work wonders!

Only on photo paper mate.

...erm, I guess this would be the Wild West Country (Bristol)!

Standard 0-62 according to Renault was indeed 8 secs for the later Phase2 GT Turbo and Raider (which had 5bhp more than the 115bhp Phase1). The 0-62 for the 16v was officially 8 secs according to Renault, though the 0-60 drops by about half a second if youre hot becuase you have to change to...

The leather is well worth it, as I know - but it will add about £500 to the price. Phase2 is the spec to go for if you can: its build as much as looks. Ive got an early Phase2 (on a very late L-reg) and the doors shut with much more of a good thud than my flatmates Phase1; meanwhile...

They will all make your 172 look like a done-up 1.2:( And what will happen when you come to sell it? Ever seen a GT Turbo with a 1989 bodykit? It will ming!

The BMC is a sealed induction system - so is your airbox!

I respect the old one, but the new bog standard £21k WRX is not convincingly faster than a hot hatch, especially since its 4WD gives greater transmission loss - though it does offer the benefits of said 4WD.

Im with Mat on this one mate. Theres no way that youd buy an IK for a 16v/Willy (172/Cup as well??) for power gains if you had the chance to try before you buy - not even a Hill Power one. I run one because its too difficult to re-locate my second fuel regulator and I love the noise!

Love the huge "Clio 16v" down the side of the second Darth Vader Clio.

My oil pressure would hover around 1bar on idle with 5w/50 oil; now it idles at about 0.4bar with 10w/50 oil. :o

Aaron - I think the CTR is a car that appeals to Valver drivers: its the high-rev thing. My flatmate has a new CTR and a 16v that hes had for about 6 years. He says that the CTR is faster, but by not as much as youd think and that the handling is way better on his 16v. Guess thats why he...

I slow down too, to increase the space in front of me. If I have to brake suddenly, then theyre guaranteed to go into the back of me. I dont want to write off my car, even if I get a new one paid for - too much hassle. Lexus IS200 and BMW 316/8 divers are the worst offenders.

Mine is a tuned F7P 1764cc 16v lump, worked on to an unknown spec by the last owner with head work, re-profiled cams, vernier pulleys, chip etc. It made 171.3bhp on an engine dynometer before it was put in the car two years ago, but made 128bhp at the wheels at a recent RR day. Although there...

The odometer reads a healthy 97,983 miles, which is no trouble on a modern car. It was pretty clean when I bought the car on 78,000 miles as the engine had just been re-built with head work, cams and so on. But I cleaned it just for good measure;). I only use the car in the dry and wipe off...

I dont like to nit pick, but Ive seen this link loads and its a bit fishy. I think someone has got the bhp and weights for the cars and then calculated them in some sort of formula. Some cars are listed as faster than I remember and others a lot slower. The Williams gets a 1/4 mile of...

It will be difficult to blwnd in the paint, so most jobs do a blow-over of the door/boot. I had my old car done, but not with this one and its just as well - my remote alarm packed in the other day!

Yeah, it was close, but I think my K&N made all the difference;):oops:

...Just so people dont think I have a 1.2 "16v" rather than a 16v. ;)

Ah ha!! Now its all clear!

Clean 16v: was it 145bhp at the wheels?? Ive never heard of a 16v make that much at the wheels. Mine, with head, cams, chip etc made 128bhp at the wheels (with a blowing exhaust and dodgy ignition!;)) - which is what a number of others with similar mods seem to make. That is, of course...
