i dont know who had it before but i can defo say its a 1.8 and not a 2.0... im from barnsley 2 and it was my black 2.0 valver that was always flying about, mine was an N reg and had ph2 wheels aswell so easily mistaken lol.
As for the rebuild, your guess is as good as mine
under the inlet manifold on the block, throttle body side, prob easiest way to see it is removing the bonnet, the slam pannel and moving rad slightly... should see it that way... if not remove the rad
you were probably told it was a 2litre cos it used to get confused with mine. I had a 2litre Black valver and as i sold mine rob bought this one, alot of people thought he bought mine which was the 2litre, thats probably where the confusion is.....maybe :p
Its a nice valver thats for sure...
id get the trophy over the 182.... bit more unique, only so many made... although i dont think theres a big difference between the trophy and 182 apart from trophys are numbered
if on the road the more power you have makes the car have a faster top end and gearing plays no part in it then someone with more power can go faster... so when i hit the limiter in my clio (prior to chipping and raisingthe limiter) at 137 if id have made it more powerful it would have gone...
if it was slippy more reason to use the entire road... would have been safer... you can see when somethings coming though on roads like that so it gives you plenty of time to slow down and move over
you didnt look to be going that fast really... Al you should let someone towards the back of the group do the video then you get to see all the cars :)
young me... well lets see ive had my 1.2 8v, my valver, my hybrid and now a golf tdi so you cant really say im young immatuire and only ever driven a little car... ive driven a hell of a lot of cars which are fast and slow.
I hit 115 on the speedo of my 1.2, 140 on the speedo of my 2.0 and 115...
just cos renault say it wont dont mean it wont... renault claim alot of shite... if you didnt know renault talk b****cks!
A 1.2 clio will do whatever the gearbox lets it do, get a rolling road and whack it on there i bet it will eventually get to the limit in 5th and the speedo will be out of...
I think you will find its most CS members that havent a clue and talk out there arse! most CS members are c***s, its reasons like not being able to accept when your wrong why i left CS ages ago...
Like the ancient Mk1 Vs Mk2 threads where it eventually went to the pod and the mk1s took victory...
by no means am i stating that the 1.2/1.4s are fast :) im just saying that they and anyother car can hit the given speed of 120mph unless its a 4 speed box since there geared to about 100ish
lol it will eventually get to that speed given the time... the only limit is the amount of road you actually have and the gearbox, and the gearbox will let the car do 135 its just the road needed to get to that speed.... perhaps youd need a road that goes all the way around the world but it...
