Awesome looking machine!

You'll have folding front seats in a 5-door then which isn't a problem. Physical fitment is the same.

Spaced out i guess.

'Berg all night/day long!

Superb vehicles! Rallye looks immense.

Awesome! Must do this on my 172 aswell. What are doing exhaust-wise?

Put the blanking plugs back in or get the Airbag ECU reconfigured (should be possible with a CLIP).

Recaro Pole Positions can be used with standard seatbelts. Not cheap though ;)

Same with 16s. ;)

I'd keep it. Won't fetch big money anyway. What's the actual going rate of a F4R 73x? 500 quid?

Common problem with "really low" suspension setups on MK2 Clios. The relatively soft KWs won't help aswell. Raise it a bit or make some space for the shaft.

Parking sensors on a clio? ROFL. Learn to park is my advise! BTW: There is retro fit kit from Renault available afaik.

Re: is it possible to change the lamda sensor without taking down the exhaust on 172 Soak in WD40 and remove with a spanner. Might be a bit tight but it will work.

Surely this will not help in your situation as it drops the column further down. Only option to bring the steering wheel closer to you is dished wheel or an aftermarket wheel and spacer.

OPs car is 1.6, should have the bigger hubs...

Might be the issue.

Damaged wheel speed sensors or rings i'd guess.

That's true. But it's quite an important point especially on petrol engines where VNT TCs aren't that common. A reason to use a combined system as in the 1.4 TSI engines.

To drive a turbine, you'll need a positive pressure delta between turbine inlet and outlet. The outlet pressure will theoretically be atmospheric pressure. The inlet pressure is (theoretical again) the remaining pressure in the cylinder when the exhaust valves are opened (after...

The higher EBP can be compensated (under certain circumstances) by the higher pressure in the cylinder after the decompression. To get a mechanical charged system more efficient than a TC'd application you'll need far more engineering/dimensioning work. If you compare the typical F4R low boost...

Turbocharged applications do lose some power due to the higher exhaust backpressure made by the driven turbine. But these losses are quite lower than the mechanical losses made by a supercharger (up to 40 KW depending on application). If you look at a combustion engine as a thermodynamic system...

Should be 58mm on your car. It's the distance between the two bolts connecting the strut and hub on the front. Can be measured with wheels on full lock.

Bilstein B14s, H&Rs, FK Königsports, KW V2s, Spax RSX. All depends on budget. I am very happy with my H&Rs btw.

I'd go for a turbo application. More efficient as it's not taking energy from the crank but using exhaust gasses. Power delivery with a crank driven charger might be smoother but with a correct sized turbocharger spool up times and "lag" will be minimal.

Non sport MK3's have a similar setup as the MK2 Clios, right!? A bracket at the lower end of the strut with two holes which clamps a part of the hub? If this is the case, you can order the camber bolts from H&R. To get the right ones, you'll need to know the diameter of the bolt holes on the...

Early Ph1. Cable throttle, looks, aluminium bonnet, only pre cat lambda. Winning in so many ways!

It's the water temp gauge. Normally sits in the middle (4 bars) when up to temp. Your car isn't coming up to temp, so i'd say the thermostat is shot.

Yup, UK is the pound-shop for 1*2s compared to the continental rip offs we get here... ;)

Sidemounts to subframe: M8 bolts and nuts Subframe to vehicle: M8 bolts, reuse OEM nuts (integrated "load spreader").

M8 irc.
