cheers for that mate,will give u a buzz when the motors back on the road,might be a couple of months though getting it resprayed aswell,where abouts are you based andy gdi?
ahh,andy gdi himself,already got piper cams in,dont want to spend more modding this engine just want to get it back on the road,as its either gonna get bb turbod or a 5 turbo transplant,cant decide?got any opinions yourself on that?
cheers everyone
65-70 quid,not bad,i can live with that,does gdi do work on the 16v,i was under the impression he was a 5 turbo man/transplants going off what i have read on here?
cambelt snapped 10 of the valves are knackered,was gonna just replace 10,but a mate says i should replace all 16 as the other 6 will be worn,engines done 78,000miles,getting fixed this week,what should i do???
any ideas how much valves are each???
in need of a full respray,any recomendations in the northwest area,will be doing the usual de-locking,smoothing out roof rails,boot lid etc,must be an immaculate job,dont want to be going back a year later! cheers

cheers
got noz on my valver-50bhp,very impressed,but want that kind of power all the time,not just for 12min,any idea what sort of times that would pull on the 1/4mile,anyone got that done on here?have you martins?any idea how much that would cost?
yeah remember seeing it in a mag,think you need to have a wide arch kit for 4x4?big bucks then!prefer the subtle looking valvers,bit in your face the dimmas-nice though!
what possible engine transplants is there for the clio16v for around 6.5-7.5k,preferably a turbod motor-250bhp!(something different than the norm)im thinking like a 20v turbo from a seat/vw,is this possible for my budget?who could do a conversion like this?can you get big power from these...
well cheers for your replies guys and your write up nick,thats the one;),performance sounds spot on(eating porkers),hows it affect the handling do you get a lot of wheelspin in 2nd gear corners etc,if you plant it?the gearbox is of concern,but then again i seem to get through them anyway,when...
