Been wondering for ages about what to do about my engine.
Toyed with the idea of a transplant so many times now, but if I am realistic I cant afford £2000 plus in one go.
So I was thinking of tuning the existing engine a bit, I know it will never be rapid, but just make it a bit quicker...
How much would I be looking at in labour charges for someone to replace my 1.4 with a 1.8 or 2.0 16v?
I have tried contacting Nick Hill countless times but to no response.

Just wondered coz there is a chance I might be getting one.
Oh by the way, no 1.2/1.4 16v t***s who think they can keep up with real fast cars need respond.

Just wanted to know how the plate system works, for cars with carbs rather than injection?
Is it as reliable/safe/powerful/upgradeable as the N20 injection systems?
Cheers for any info

I have just been in one and oh my god does this thing shift.
I currently have a summer job at the Peugeot plant in Ryton.
I had seen a couple of these being checked over and tested.
Today at work someone I know was driving one around the plant so I jumped in.
It was difficult to...
Thought this might get a bit of attention.
Basically what do people think of this car?
I want a new car and it has to be fast coz I am absolutely fed up of being whooped by d1ckheads in Vectra V6s and the like.
I know its not a 172 (but I cant afford one and the VTS has free insurance)...

Was coming home the other day and joining the motorway from a big, fast island. This Rover 600 (dunno what engine etc) came racing round and belted it past a calibra 16v that was caning it.
Dont know much about these cars but jees this one was fast.

I have a 1997 clio (phase 3) and was wondering if anyone knew how different the exhaust system on a mk2 clio is from mine?
Would it be a real hassle trying to get one to fit?
Its just that remus do a tasty twin exit backbox, but only for the mk2 clio.
If not I will have to go to...
Cant decide what size wheels to go for.
I know 15s with a 195/45 tyre would be pretty much the same rolling diameter as what Ive got now. (165/60/14) Except for the extra width. But I shouldnt have any trouble with scrubbing even after I slam it.
On the other hand every time I am about to...
1.) What is the Renault paint code for Williams Blue?
2.) Will 6.5x16" Alloys fit on an RT? What drop would be best to go for and what arch mods might be necessary?
Cheers all
Taking my car in to ripspeed this week to have the torsion bar lowered and front springs fitted.
The guy quoted me £45 per hour and said it would take between 1-2 hours depending on how siezed up the torsion bar was.
As I am a mechanical dumbass, I was wondering if someone could explain...
Anyone got these?
Carnoisseur do them and they seem pretty good value for money. Just wondered what the ride is like.
At the moment my suspension is standard but I have got a pair od Spax 35mm springs which are going on this week as well as torsion bar coming down a click.
Ive heard the...
Just wondering if theres any chance you could let me have a pic of your car and see how it looks?
Also is your car lowered/how much by?
Thanks for any help I really appreciate it.

Okay Ive just about finished my boot install and thankfully everything is working ok.
The problem is I dont know how to set up my amplifier levels/gains to work most effectively and was hoping somebody might be able to help me do this. Below is all the info about my system:
Head unit 3 x...
What differences did it make and was it worth the money?
cant decide whether to mod my engine a bit more seriously or leave it and either sell the car for a faster one at a later date, or get a transplant.
What mirrors do you reckon would suit a phase 3 clio?
I dont want M3 coz they have been done to death.
Was thinking about DTM style ones. What do you think about the mirrors indicator lights in them?
Also do you think carbon fibre effect or body colour? (The car is Williams blue)...
2 questions.
Firstly can anybody tell me where to get a decent bee sting style aerial? I want a black one so it looks factory only shorter. I have got one of those alloy short stubby things from demon tweaks but the radio reception was always really crap and now the thing has corroded and...
