Front is suppossed to be lower than back otherwise front will feel light. The rear will be stepping out becuase the brake bias valve will need adjusted...that and the fact your on 10p tyres are your problems i think.

Or go to www.catcams.be

Or buy a motorbike if you really want to go fast! Fair enough ploughing money into 'yet another quick car' if thats your thing but IMO its a bit daft when you could spend under 1k and have a bike that'll blow any of them away...

I'm going to give it a go. Chris H on retro-renault seems to think it'll be ok and last well enough and it will fit as all JB series boxes have the same casing. Ta! :)

^^in fact, i don't know if EP still exist...can't seem to find their site!

250bhp or so is pretty much the limit on any clio gearbox so you're fooked straight away TBH for massive power. I'd stick with BB's turbo on a 1.8 or if you must, or a 2ltr on TBs. Another option might be getting a 1.2 for 50quid plus two s/h 1.8 engines for 50quid piece then go see EP...

Folks, going to be putting an RSI lump into my car soon and i'm looking into gearboxes. The lump will come with an RSI box but my 1.2 item is on far less milage (40k) - i know the 1.2 will fit but will it handle the power and what affect will it have ofnaccleration etc? My 1.2 is a JB1...

They're ok if the box is in good nick/can cope but TBH i wouldn't bother on a 16v. If you think its hard to get into first in the morning get ready for it to get worse with the B&M on, being steel it gets very cold in the winter which makes it damn uncomfortable to use and as northy says...

Get some 185/55 R14s - 'Big D' is seeling some i think...

No work to the arches in any case...go for -55mm as -35 is barely noticeable.

I have the engine though. Was expecting about 2-300 quid - that reasonable?

Approximately how much would a garage take to do an engine swap on my mk1 1.2? It'd be a straight rip-the-old-1.2-out, lob the new RSI in...no pfaffing with parts replacement etc. Opinions....

Excellent - many thanks m8! :)

What aftermarket chips/piggybacks/ECUs can remove rev limiters? Prices, links and personal opinions appreciated! Thanks

Bump!

Yup...same...couldn't find it in the price list! Weird...its defo stamped all over the box though...

Last week i ordered a cambelt kit for my car using the part number in my (old) copy of dialogies and unfortunately i appear to have been given a different part going by the number on the box! Can someone tell me if i have actually been given the correct part (i.e. the part number i used has...

As above, can someone post pics of theirs? Ideally need pics of the butterfly itself, how it mounts, plus ISCV (if you have one)...a quick jot down of the butterfly size would also be a great help! Cheers!

Damn...was going to ask if you facied selling that head back to me! lol :(

Excellent....how far off are you from using those extra goodies you bought off me?

lol true but it wouldn't be pushed that hard...i'm just interested to know if theres any major limiting factors with my engine without going too mad. Plan is a bit more power on a budget...i've heard a lot of the 16v boys on about using GSXR bodies with a cheapo aftermarket ECU so was toying...

LOL maybe...have some spare cash kicking about so fancy doing something a bit different... :)

It'd be the whole thing i'd want ideally as i don't have access to a welder. Trying to get an idea of costs... :)

Not bad! :) Whats the mod list to achieve that?

Hi ben, thanks for the reply! :) 1 - its a dizzy-less engine 3 - assuming i could get the manifold/gasket design - is this something you could do?

Is this a 'new' column or a new welded column? I know a chap who had this after fitting a welded item...never solved it so sold the car.

A few questions; - On a 1.2 8V DIET engine - whats involved/would be required to completely remove the rev limit? - On a 1.2 8v, what is the max (roughly) rpm will the rocker assembly cope with? - How much would it cost to have a dcoe manifold made up if there isn't one currently...

16v do, williams won't

Phase 2's have tarted up, rounded off parts and are girly wheras phase 1's are hard and manly.

FSE's are a bit of a waste of time, although they can help to oversome worn parts. Personally speaking, if you're going at it from that angle you should be sorting the engine rather than trying to work around things by messing with fuel pressure. Ecoteks = don't bother tho.
