some fella came to work this morning in his 1.2 16v clio,
pulled into the carpark and it sounded beefy as fook, had a quick look and there was just the standard exhaust, as he was reversing he was revving the b****cks out of it and i though its too throaty to be a I.K.
When i asked him what...
I have been told (or seen on here) cant remember that you can lower your car on the standard springs?
They said just to cut the original spring to make it shorter!!!!!! :rolleyes:
is it just me or are there too many crazy bodgers? :S :S
sometime i just floor it to the red ( my clio doesnt actually have a redline, whys that?)
but siomtimes when i change gear aroung the 5500/6000 mark i can feel it really push,
whats the best revs to change for best torque?
(there will nbever be that much torque as its a 1.2:dapprove...
i have been fiddeling around with the pre-tensioners under the seats coz my service and arbag lights are on, they wont do off, what else can i do, also can i undo them?
had visions of me undoing them then the airbag opening whilst im leaning next to my seats,
its driving me crazy...
i have just ordered this sat nav system from sony,

does it plug into my cigarette lighter?
here is the link to the one i brought...
when i put my foot down it takes about a second or two befor the car starts to rev,
also when i take my foot off the gas the exhaust makes a spitting noise,
is this normal?
Just been looking through the parkers guid whilst pressing one out,
with the hp and top end stats if pisses over most cars,
golf gti, scooby, some mercs, range rovers, all mgs, 99% of cars, arethey really this fast?
have been advised to go for a clio williams engin rather then a 172.
what do you guys reckon,
have been quoted £1k for the willy and all the bits or £1.5k from matt black for all the 172 bits from him,
also any1 from kent know were i can get the engine fitted? :S
my bro just got a 1.6 fsi golf, are they any good, are they quick, hes due to pick it up saturday,
now he keeps taking the piss out if my 1.2, :mad: :mad:
what can i do to teach him a thing or 2, and a new car is not a posibility :dapprove: :dapprove:
have just had a quote from F1 moto in seveoaks near brandshatch for a engine conversion,
he suggestid i go for a williams 2.0 engine in my clio, (51 place)
the put some throttle bodies on it and tune it up and he said for him to do it all including ecu and gearbox all that jazz will cost me...
i have a set of 17s wolfrace alloys,
one of then is bucklled, where can i get it fixed and how much?
also there of aq 206 but are 4 stud, will the fitment be ok?
i have benn wondering about a engine conversion (as most of you know)
was looking to go for a 172 from a 1.2 but was told yesterday that i could also have a fiat 2.0 20valve or a audi 1.8 turbo engine from a A3 into it,
Can these be done and if so are they hard as fook,
sorry to keep...
i want to get a personal plate for my clio, is a 1.2 but soon to be a 172,
my initials are RF as my name is ronny folgate,
support millwall and am from kent,
any ideas people, my mind has gone dead.
:D i have a silver clio dynamique,
i might get a carbon fiber bonnet (proper one not a skin)
and also carbon fibre the black side strips and bumper strip and also the sport spoiler,
do you think this would look goos ans i want to be different and not just colour code it,
also i dont...
have just been speaking to a lady from wizard of noz,
she said that instead of going for a 172 engine conversion that i should spend £1200 with them and they will give me 185hp in my 1.216v just via some n2o, she said that it wont damage my engine and standard gearbox and clutch should be ok...
i have a clio 1.2 16v facelift 51plate and am after some 172/182 wheels, 16inch, dont car whAt condition the tyres are in just want some as the standerd 15s of the dynamique dont look too good, mine are brand new with brand new continental tyres so will swap if anyone has some going,
whats the highest spped shown on you speedo before,
when for a drive @ about 2am with some mates,
hate abit of a race with a 206, down the motorway, ( A2 )
it was dead so no cars about,
my speedo showed just over 120mph and wasnt even going down a hill,
can this be right?
