never really look at my speedo - im more focused on revs when im trying to get a move on. I do know that i get 110mph in 4th. Thats in a 2ltr williams with a HP chip (limiter kicks in at 6750) i swear i could get 115 (in forth) in my valver. Can any 1 confirm this?

i paid £25 for my hillpower De-cat 2nd hand (wasnt S/S mind) Hope that gives you an idea on price. As you say its just abit of pipe.

£155 sounds fair to me. Its not really a common issue as such, but like everything parts like these dont last for ever.

whats that then m8?

ill have it 6months before your head gasket goes again - you should have had the head skimmed fella.

You could go for the JLs 8inch range http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1167&tab=2http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1167&tab=2 Im sure you could find a tidy place to install them away from chavs looking to steal your ice. These 8inchers have...

Mike - You can use any tweeter, a tweet is a tweeter at the end of the day. Try caraudiodirect.com - you can pick up a set there. My only fear is that i feel your mids have blown too, you maybe best replacing your comps altogether if so. If you hear distortion turn the hu down, youll save £££...

Smokey - where do u live, your welcome for a spin in mine if u like.

Very well thanks m8 :)

Darren - i saw your car @ Hillpower while i was having work done on mine, your is black isnt it? Looked really nice. Think Nick was using your as a project - just to see what he could make out of out with the available resources. I dont see why the quoted figures are hard to believe - did he...

i thought only the P1 & 22B scoobys had 2 doors? am i wrong?

did u mean a S2 RST mate? if so id think again. If your looking for reliability then a MK4 escort is not the way to go. Better off getting alittle run about like alittle saxo/pug rallye 1.3

sounds like your clutch is not disengaging correctly - remove the platic grommet that the ped rests on - you will here it click as it comes up. Replace the clip and see what its like then after. Sounds like your idle sensor needs a clean / replacing. Cant remeber the correct part name... both...

Tony, just get the same belt as what the williams would use. The bottom ends of the megane & williams are the same.

£40 :o - tho im sure its worth it, hes a good bloke.. (did u bother to check how much they were new btw?)

no - they all do the same job. Just think of it like a bit of scaffolding pipe.

which ever is cheaper?! I dont mean to be funny but its just a bit of pipe. Im picking up a 2nd hand one sunday for £25

Theres no helpping some people is there bambam.. ;)

seems ok to me m8.

Realistic as in i had a standard 1.8 Clio 16v - no mods apart from magnex cat back system and i made "138.2 bhp" i was happy with that.

that figure would have been@ the fly for std. i had my car RR & BBPT and found the rsults to be very realistic.

im told there its not the sunroof - its the areial thats letting in the water. I think theres a thread here somewhere about it - ill have a look for you.

i always used Magnatex in my previous engine. I think ill continue to you it too. Not heard any bad stuff about it - keeps the tappets quite too.

oddly enough smokey even with the williams lump you still get a better kick higher up in the rev range. i dont know if this is becuase im running a 1.816v manifold - but it does share similar charateristics. But yeah your right - 85% of the torque is made up at 2,000rpm, from there it pulls...

When i first bought my 16v i was over the moon with it, (coming from an XR3I who wouldnt) but the thing was i didnt know how to drive it correctly. After a while you get used to it.. Its then you will learn to appreciate how quick it really is, and how to get the best out of it.

Sorry m8, i forgot to follow on the post. The Clio 16v, or valver as its more commonly known on the forum is notorious for its 4,000rev kick. With all 16v engines you need to boot it to get the high revs up allowing you to get the 2nd cam spinning. The clio 1.8 16v gets most of its torque in...

lol

unless its bent of course.. ;)
