hey cliokongen, heres a pic of my freshy modified pistons http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1069352389__SkimmedPistons.jpg

y do u need new valve pockets machining if u have the pistons skimmed? the valves wont be opening any further than they did before the pistons were skimmed, so they shouldnt be coming into contact with the piston!

why not, its just a car! People modify ferraris etc and theyre a little bit more special than a clio aint they! it all depends on how it is modified and what the owner wants from the car!

clutch release bearing by the sounds of it, my car has exactly the same symptoms, rattley sound at tickover, goes away when the clutch is pressed and there is a bit of pressure on the bearing! Nothing serious tho, more annoying than anything else

u need to take the 1 bolt out that holds the pin (male bit) of the balljoint into the hub, then it should seperate with the splitter (cos its now just held in by friction from rust/crap), will probs need a bit of a whack with a hammer to get the splitter in mind ;)

buy a ball joint splitter from any motorist discount shop, set ya back about 5 quid http://www.handsontools.com/image_manager/attributes/image/image_1/2402_2925.jpg unless ya very careful and use grease on the balljoin to be split, u will damage the rubber boot on it, but if its to be...

im selling my stainless steel Powerflow letterbox style centre exit exhaust on ebay along with a rear bumper if youre interested in it. It set me back £280 last summer http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1068302593__Clio.jpg...

could rebuild a 16v engine in a weekend to be honest, not that much work involved, the bulk of it would be grinding the valves in, which is a pain in the ar$e. i dont know anyone from chesire who could rebuild your engine for you as im up north next to newcastle

looking at about 3-400 quid for parts to do a full engine rebuild, replacing everything, then you got your labour on top, but the engine would be like new afterwards. Where u from myk16?

im selling a clio 16v centre exit system from cat back with matching rear bumper, its on ebay and i have an advert in the for sale section at the moment

what was modified?

eh!?!?!?!?! :confused:

any chance of puttin the pics up again Rich-D? cos i missed em first time round!! :cry:

Hi :D

MEDIA - PICS AND VIDEO forum ;)

not yet im not, but its in the pipeline. need to get my ar$e into gear and finish off the work needed to complete it!!!

im trying to sort out sum discs around the 300mm mark cos igot 17s too nd may as well utilise the room i got, like i said be4 ill keep you updated. theyll be for a valver too, so dont worry ;)

will do when i know more ;)

yeah its a straight forward procedure if youre handy with the spanners. u need to take off the cambelt and alternator belt, remove the manifolds (if you want to skim the head) otherwise just split the exhaust manifold/downpipe, wiring loom, pipes etc, then take the rocker cover off, remove the...

i may be selling 285mm bigger disc conversions with caliper spacer brackets for clios soon, they will be substantially cheaper than the ones you lot are talking about. ill give you more info when i get them. may also be available with larger calipers too

DIY the conversion and save yourself a few quid ;) ill let ya know when mines ready to hit the streets!

nah im not going to donnington

i assume ya crashed? was it on the track or on the way home? unlucky anyway :(

u sure u lot are really getting this much torque steer and not exaggerating it by any chance? just that i cant really see it being this much of a problem on a brand new car to be honest (and its not a huge amount of power/torque really is it!), deffo cant see it being "like controling an...

i had mine on the limiter in 5th a few weeks back coming up from a mates in derby, i had 139mph on 17" wheels. then 2 of my mates steamed past me on their motorbikes, lol

bruns also gettin this conversion done on his clio, could pm him and ask some questions. cant see it costing too much to be honest, engine seems a pretty good fit in the clio

ne1 got any pics?
