i have been thinking about this idea for a while now
it would be a long term project
would this be possible to fit the meg 225 engine into the clio?
is it not just a 172 turbo?
how much do these engines cost from a scrappy?
i drive a deisel so all tubes etc.. will have to be...
got it sorted now hopefully
it was the ejection relay that was snookered - got the battery replaced too
did 60miles there home and now probs but fingers crossed :S
thanks
Story is, my engine is dying while im driving and sitting in idle.
started a while ago and took it to renault and diagnostics showed that the TDC (top dead centre) sensor was faulty. got replaced and car should be grand - wrong
that day it died several times on the way home
next day...
no you cant- it bothered me at first but now im not worried
i thought about making a custom pod on the back of the plate behind the wingmirror fora clock but cant be bothered
i think its too expensive but there are not very many grills for sale for the clio so they can put it up as much as they like
£200 for 172 grill from renault - justify that!
hardest thing is buying it mate - hand the gear over to a specialist and let them sort it
also - it is not sat nav - it was originally designed by renault to house a screen for sat nav but this is different lol
no it wont display stuff from the hu and it doesnt need to - all it needs to do is display the picture from the ps2
go to SIM in campsie and get the necvox screen for £140ish
no point getting an alpine screen whenever the necvox has the same pixels and quality - plus to fit the screen to...
i used a NECVOX FD-5869 5.8" screen for my dash - look it up - its about £140
id get a professional ICE workshop to do the work
airbags would be grand!
as for the standard HU im sure you can but it would be easier to get an aftermarket HU
the slim ps2 fits PERFECTLY into the glove...
trev the hu is only used to swap over the sources.
because i have the tv tuner in aswell i had 2 auxilarys. you only have to press source once to get the ps2 up on screen then you use the ps2 to control the rest (but you do need a good ps2 invertor)
prices are
whole dash - £180ish
tv holder - £17.95 or something
screen - £140
so its about £200 for both bits and thats all you need from renault - prob get a bit off with a bit of haggling!
Mike will have the part numbers - i cant remember but i do have the box it came in so it...
if you buy the bumper from renault you get that lower grill free with it - i dont know how much they are on their own
i have one sitting in my garage but im in northern ireland :S
thanks mate
did the boot install myself and im very pleased with it - always like to hear compliments about it lol alot of blood and sweat put into it :D
i bought the dash from renault, got a necvox 5.8" screen attached to it (had to take the casing off the screen and get it glued on and...
heres my 03 dci 80
big spec - custom 172 bodykit, 17" tsw, powerflow exhaust, custom grill, colour coded, prima spoiler, full sound system with sat nav dash and screen etc...
fk's to come soon, 172 steering wheel and maybe a wheel change :S
