Alritey. :) Was just curious to see if this would also help after having them set.

Quick question, but could I use the Top End Treatment even though my tappets are manual and not Hydraulic. Would I still see some benefits, i.e. Quieter operation? Thanks. :)

hehe sounds cool. Multi-storey car park, scottswood road, and down by Gateshead stadium at one point wern't ya? :D Top stuff!

My bro has had this fitted to his old 1.8 focus and now his new one. There was a marked improvement on the RR day with his first car (he had that IK and just a cat-back exhaust nothing else) and saw +8bhp! Quite a gain, better than a kick in the teeth. Good noise too. So I'm a fan of the...

What problems have you had?? I took mine to a garage and they said it couldn't be done as it was seized. Well 2 weeks of spraying wd40 and penetrating spray on to it later, I tried it myself. Used a tap on oneside to re-do the thread as it was pretty bad. Came out no bother and the only...

d'oh I didn't see any hot lady today and I was in gateshead, then town and then up the coast road through jesmond... :( Gutting!

I have a Ph2 ('95) RT and my mates is a Ph3('96) RT and the airbox shape is exactly the same. So the filter will fit no bother, I have that panel filter. It's good, no complaints. :) I bought it from MotorSportWorld and if you look in the section for ITG Replacement Filters and then select...

Depends what you mean by best? Best quality? Best sound? Best gains? Best value for money? There's a good few options though. Mongoose or Scorpion do a system for the RT I believe, as do Ashley Competition, you could get a custom Powerflow one made up also, or get a Piper exhaust. Loudest...

Initially had the Powermaster backbox on my Clio, sounded fine and fitment was fine. Can't complain for the price at all.

Ashley Backbox? Mild steel, so not expensive and should last a few years till you can go cat-back? Good sound too. :) Can be had from motorsportworld for £80-£100.

55mm all the way. :) That'll put the back tyres just inside the arch (from a 45 profile perspective) and the front will just be out of the arch.

V.cool! How much did that set you back if you don't mind saying? I got a price for doing my Mk1... think it was roughly £350ish.

Cheers Maxx... I hope the they have a website.... /goes and looks on Google. :D

lol I've been stalling a bit the past few days... I had a new clutch fitted to the RT and before hand it was really heavy and that is what I've been used to for nearly 2yrs now. Now though, its amazingly soft and light and the biting point is much lower.... so I keep stalling when pulling off...

No way? I didn't realise you could get after-market manifolds for a 1.2 8v. Where's it from?? It does look the biz though, hope it shows some gains for you Maxx! :)

Hey no fair, I run on Yoko A539's! :p lol.

Cambelt, tensioners, aux belt as well. May as well if you are doing the head gasket and stuff. :) Maybes slap some new plugs + ht leads on and a new battery while your there. :) Clean your airfilter as well and re-oil. :)

hehe still have that to do. keep meaning to. ;)

Found some random farm... hmmm wasn't anything relating to Hill Power? Nick is on a farm aint he. :)

Here you go... Mk1 Ph2 RT (Champs-Elysees) with Ph1 rear lights and a Ph3 boot to confuse matters. Also added a leather interior from the 5dr Bacarra model Clio. :) Just needs to get lowered now!!

I think the Ph3 have 75bhp but more torque. The head is different to improve MPG. Ph1+2 ( <96 ) have 80bhp. :) As far as I'm aware.

You could do it yourself???? There are like 2 similar guides for lowering the back, which I'll find, and then I'm sure the Haynes will tell you how to take out the front springs, voila! :) Do it over a weekend... jobs a good 'un.

^ Mine too. Clutch is being changed this week, I didn't fancy trying that one myself. :( Thanks.

Groovy!

Looks nice! :) Quick question, slightly ot but are they the Yoko Parada Spec-2 tyres? If so, what are they like?? Thanks!

Fogs.... "to be used when foggy". Not for everyday driving!! That's kinda the problem. ;) Dipped beams are more than adequate for night \ dusk use, if they seem dull people should perhaps buy some brighter bulbs (Like the super-brights or whatever). I have and I can see an improvement.

I agree totally!! The amount of people on an evening when leaving work that drive with sidelights + fogs is just crazy. It's not cool and annoying. Does my nut in! It's not just Clio drivers, although I am noticing more and more people using them on the Mk2's. And just like you, I can't...
