went in to get an oil filter to do an oil change especially after yesterdays hard driving at the stirling meet and the filter i got instead of being a cylidner can was just a paper like filter, like a mini cylinder airfilter, does this sound right for the 1.2 16v engine? 02 plate btw
cheers
Heres the pics that i took from the stirling meet, cameras crap but still ok. was a brilliant night, i went thru half a tank of petrol in one night was fun trying to keep up with the 2.0s apart from the fact that my passengers side front tyre was a bit low and every time i turned right it kept...
hi, anyone know how you get the plastic cover off the back of the wingmirror on MK2 clios? going to the scrappys to get some colourcoded ones but dont know how they come off.
cheers
im getting a loud humming that seems to start about 40mph, sounds to me like it could be a wheel bearing, only noticed it starting today.
any advice on how to work out what side/wheel its coming from? should they be replaced in pairs? how much do they cost? whats needed to fit them? sorry for...
hi, looking at possibly upgrading to coilovers after seeing my car with 5 people in it yesterday (apex -60mm kit) but i only want to do it if the handling is going to be better than it is with the apex kit as i preffer handling over ride height.
ive recently noticed that when putting weight on the front of my car (to bounce the suspension up and down) the front doesnt seem much more firm than a standard 1.2 16v
also when reversing out my drive or driving over a small bump the back feels hard but the front seems a bit softer.
now i...
not sure if it was you or not mate, near stirling services, was pulling out of a junction and at the last minute saw a blue clio with black wheels and ph2 rear lights on it and thought it might have been you!
hi guys asking this on behalf of a mate who has a MK2 PH1 1.2 8v clio and the bottom ends gone.
hes looking for something a bit different and probably lower millage, so hes thinking about a 1.2 16v.
i assume this is just a straight swap (mk2 ph2 engine into a mk2 ph1) with same mounts etc...
if i was to get my cylinder head skimmed down a bit so the engine ran a higher compression what sort of gains would i be looking at? and what about reliability?
keeping in mind the engine would be getting stripped down for a head gasket change anyway.
looking for some info on headwork for a 1.2 16v, prices and what gains can be expected.
i assume i would need (or would be recommended) to get a remap, can you remap the standard 1.2 16v ECU?
just looking for ideas for throwing more money at the thing lol
Im looking at buying a Renault K4M 1.6 16v engine pretty soon for a conversion and just looking for some info on them. ive never done a conversion before so its all new to me but im really willing to learn and don’t mind getting my hands dirty also got plenty mates who have done conversions...
just another speedo video on the same private road but this time u can see the speedo LOL

as some of you might know i got a set of turinis for my car and had them on for a week before i took them off because i hated the handling (plus had 2 illegal tyres on them!)
the problem i had with the handling was the wheels were pulling the car a bit on bumps and in bends and i lost all...
im looking for inspiration!
looking for some pics of black non sports with cup spoilers, colourcoded dynamique spoilers, fully colourcoded and some other subtle stuff!
cheers
been driving my mums dynamique tonight since my brakes are fuked (Changing them tomorrow) and was playing with the trip computer (mine doesnt have one) now i know these arnt the most accurate thing in the world but i was amazed at it.
i managed to get it to 17.5mpg when hammering it BUT then...
quick video i done of the clio 0-80mph, it hits the limiter in 2nd at 55 mph to give you a rough 0-60 time (i counted about 10 seconds?) since you cant see the speedo for the sun!
only mods are a custom made HKS pannel filter and the airbox has been modified for performance and also has a...
seen a silver 172 with a CS sticker in the carpark outside halfords in stirling, was infront of me the other day too in falkirk untill it pulled into a petrol station.

are these the right disks for a 1.2 16v, they seem to be the right size but i was just put off when i could only see 1.6 listed and not 1.2 or 1.4 cheers

will renault do the cambelt at 72k without you asking or do you have to ask for it to be done? trying to work out if ive done 120k on the standard cambelt or not :S
i know loads of people here will have went from 15" to 16" wheels on their 1.2 16v's just wondering if anyone noticed a difference in acceleration, handling etc?
im going from standard dynamique wheels to Turinis.
cheers
