Ok I sold my clio last week and was thinking of buying a cheap run around for about a grand.
Wasnt holding out hope of finding anyhting but then I saw a 19 16v chamade (phase 1) and I haggled the guy down to £850.
It has only done 55k and has almost full service history.
Only thing is...
Sold it as I desperately needed the money and car wasnt going to get used much.
Daz the lad is from Notts so keep an eye out for my car dude.
Not sure what to go for next.
Yup my babys gone :(
Put the ad on autotrader website monday morning, someone phoned that day and came to see it last night. Left deposit and is collecting at weekend.
I got a good price and he seems like a nice bloke so I will hopefully get him to join the club.
Seems wierd, having no...
Here you go see if this works...

Those of you who have read my off topic post will know that I recently started a job at an organisation that cannot provide me with any parking facilities. There is a waiting list just to get a pass, so my car is sitting on my drive 5-6 days a week unused.
Obviously I am not happy about this...
Mine did this quite badly and it was just a loose spark plug. The ticking was the spark jumping the gap.
Might be worth checking? Otherwise noisey injector probably.
what the fcuck is going on with this thread?
Is auto double post enabled or something?

RSi box gains you about a second to 60 I believe.
I have the RSi box and mine definitely seems quick for a 1.4
Dont know about the ratios Im afraid but I would love to know what they are for all the boxes. Anyone got them?
Zed I am not trying to start an arguement but there were not any 1.4 MPi mark one clios ever made (in this country at least.)
How do I know mine is SPi? Because I can see that there is only 1 injector.
Air filter is mounted on top of engine as with all 1.4 Energy units.
Yes my car has...

Sorry just to butt in, there were no mk1 1.4 multipoint injection clios, they are all single point injection.
I have one of the latest mk 1s (1998 1.4S) and it is the same engine as the earlier RTs as far as I can tell.
Although as mentioned it is supposed to be down 5bhp on the earlier...
£150!? I take it that is to fit/spray and flush?
If that is just to fit then you are being ripped off. In fact I will do it for £100 ;) There you go money saved!
Nah seriously its a pieces of piss. Ibiza one is almost perfect fit anyway
see here...
Mine did the exact same thing a couple of months back, okay its only a 1.4 so you wouldnt expect it to go very fast in 5th anyway, but it was just like there was a rev limiter, only did it in fifth and just would not accelerate at all.
Yeah Ive heard a lot about their supposed gains not being up to much.
Think a lot of saxo owners are particularly unimpressed.
Thing is you never know what that individual car was performing like before the work was done.
No I was actually thinking of buying one.
For my next car I want something comfortable and fast, as well as having that street sleeper image.
Also I have had some very reasonable insurance quotes on the 9000, obviously the 2.0T has been cheaper.
But ultimately I want something that it is...
Had a bried look into 9000s but to be honest there seems to be so many turbo variants it was a little confusing.
Are all the 2.0ltr models the same engines with different states of tune? How much more powerful is the 2.3 turbo?
Any advice if looking to buy one?
