Hi there, ive got a PBV on my 1.8 16v and im thinking of removing it - its never been set up properly and im worried it could be causing damage or problems (mainly idling)... the question is, I have cams and a HP Stg 2 chip so is it really needed? Also, do you think itd make much...

Hi, my valver appears to idle really badly and, after reading some previous posts, people say it can be down to the speedo cable (ive got a new ISCV etc and the box i had last week has agrevated the situation) BUT; ...this will seem dumb but by "speed" do you mean the speedometer or the rev...

Just found this link about weber turnkey throttle body kits for the clio/19 1.8 16v engine: http://www.webcon.co.uk/alpha/AlphaPlusKits.htmhttp://www.webcon.co.uk/alpha/AlphaPlusKits.htm It says that the ems come premapped to be fitted to standard engine so can therefore be a DIY fit. Sounds...

Hi, I currently have my valver set up on cams etc with a HP stg 2 chip and was wondering what benifit id get from swapping to a Unichip or similar? Do they really give that much extra power and what could i expect? Also, i take it that once their fitted, all diagnostic functionality that...

Currently running some 195/50/15s on my valver ATM and finding theres a fair amount of body roll so wondering what improvement 195/45/15s would make? Will it cure the body roll by any amount and will there be any other benifits (acceleration?) or drawbacks (looking odd?)? Discuss.....cheers! :D

Got some cheap sony xplods from the pikey pawn shop and im wondering wheres the best place to put em? I dont have clue about speakers etc but id assume the parcel shelf or if possible (is it?) the front doors? Help appreciated!

Anyone?

Right, thought my clutch went at the weekend but apparently its the gearbox which will cost a lot to get repaired so im looking at a cheaper solution to get it fixed and last long enough to get rid of it. Basically i want to know what other gearboxes would fit a 1.8 16v? E.g secondhand 1.4...

...driving into my parents housing estate yesterday - changed down and totally lost drive! Theres still tension in the cable but i cant get any gears - even just pushing the gear lever into position with the engine off. :( Its only been 5k since it went in as well.... Does this sound about...

Can anyone give a general guide to what mods are needed to run the different cam profiles (270, 285, 300, 320 duration)?? Its for a 1.8 16v

How much am i looking for - same colour ect just to remove stone damage and give it a freshen up?

OK, my valver has done 130k and although its a fantastic car, i still feel that theres something lacking! Ive always wanted a 5 turbo so before im relegated to having the 16v forever due to money spent im thinking of selling..... What do you think i would get (bear in mind i live in Aberdeen!)...

As above, are 1.8 16v seats height adjustable? I cant find any levers etc but it seems weird that theyre not! -phase 1 93 model!

Still weighing up whether to go for a 2ltr conversion so im wondering if tuning the 1.8 would be more rewarding....and cheaper! Err...i should know this by now i think :oops: 2ltr conversion should give me about 30bhp extra but if i worked my 1.8 whatd be a likely power/output? Currently it...

Just seen some yank site banging on about these thing - basically just an alloy, lightened item to turn the alternator belts etc slower.... Would there be any real gains in this? Surely if these belts are turned lower then the engine has more ooomph.....?? Opinions!

...from a phase 2 to a phase 1 1.8 16V! Are the mounts etc the same for a direct swap and how do you get the phase 1s off anyway?? Any help appreciated....!

has anyone seen something like this anywhere on the net? It needs to be the same style of lettering that appears on the back/side of willys -.thinking of turning my 449 valver into a replica and want some subtle slightly different graphics on it. Thanks!

Just found a price for this bumper from prima - about 180quid. Does anyone know if that includes the fogs as well?? I seem to remember someone on here had the same bumper.... http://www.s-c-o.co.uk/clio3.jpg

Right, ive got chip, cams and PBV on my 1.8 which has been fine until a few days ago. Trouble is, over the past week, i removed my stainless system and ecotek yesterday and now there appears to be a slight hesitation between stamping on the gas and before it really takes off. I know its not duff...

Remember last year that k-tec were going to have their throttle bodied clio on the rollers in febuary to get some power figures. Does anyone have any info on what it got or if theyve actually had it rrd yet?

Just removed the ecotek valve from my valver and oh my god - what a difference! I dont know if its just my imagination but the car pulls harder, brakes better and runs quieter than before - far superior! Im even getting the occassional flame out of the standard exhaust (it only happened on my...

...my 1.8 valver! TBH i cant tell any difference in power from the stainless one - obviously the noise is gone but thats about it - its still as quick as ever only im no longer getting deafened....which is nice! The de-cat is still on and im gonna take it on a longish run tonight to see if...

As above - heard rumours that it might but still a bit unsure! Surely not seeing as the very early 1.8 16vs had no cat?? Err...help....!

Right, ive got a BB De-catted stainless zorst an my valver and its constantly rattling - driving me mad in fact - so id like to know what difference it actually makes?? Would i be better getting a std one and lashing all the money into the engine but maybe keep the de-cat?? Opinions.....

:confused:Who actually makes k-tec -35mm springs?? I have them on my 1.8 16v and they seem a lot lower than stated - because of this im unsure about going for bb -50mm springs as i cant see them being that different....

My valvers down 35mm on k-tec springs but ive got new shocks coming this week so should i bite the bullet and get BBs -50mm springs too?? Opinions please.... :cool:

Just downloaded some of those foreign clio/williams videos and feck me - those cup willys/valvers are well low! Now ive be told that going much lower than 40mm or so will mess with the handling but surely not if they used to race with lower? Does anyone know whats best or have experience of...

Whats the chances of me getting a 2ltr megane engine in my -35mm 1.8 without its arse scrapping the ground? ;-D
