I get a similar sound on my 1.4RT. I basically get a sort of screeching noise at times if I change gear. The nose only last for a split second and goes away as soon as the clutch is fully up. The most common times I hear it is if I am changing down gear from say 4th to 5th or 4th to 3rd, or...

That's why I was wondering mate as normally I wouldn't have considered a RSi engine transplant but there are a couple of engines for sale and that got me thinking. In that case you think it's just as tricky as a 16v conversion Edde?

^^^^

I'm not totally sure of what you can do but it's possible to get quite reasonable power out of them. I was looking into this in the past and I'm sure I heard of a few running close to 120BHP - but I'm not sure how true that was. If you try doing a search there have been quite a few posts on...

Having read a few threads on here I was just wondering what part would be needed to put an engine from an RSi into a 1.4RT. Are the suspension setups the same for both? Would this mean you could just use the same hubs and shock but with higher pundage springs? Would new driveshafts etc be...

Hope you got the prick reported for it. I hate people who would go about with no insurance whatsoever. Sorry to see that mate - it looks as though your car was quite nice before it got hit. :(

Are valver hubs not 54mm?

Chapter 5, lol. Been out again and the noise is coming from the back left of the car so I am presuming it will be the rear wheel bearings. Can these be checked in the exact same way as the fronts - by checking for play in the wheel? Is it the case (as I think it is) that if you replace...

Cheers smokey.

Yeah I know about the postage costs. I'm not sure what I'm going to do because as I say I just want something that'll play my cd's and also liked the idea of plugging a usb into it and playing from that. I put a post in the wanted section on here but haven't had much in the way of replies...

lol, think it will be the sunroof then :clown: So where the hell is this water going when I can hear it as none of it is coming inside the car!!!

I've just been out for a drive and I'm now certain that the nose is coming from the rear of the car. I think it could possibly be a loose bolt somewhere which I have heard rattle before but only over very bumpy roads because if I slow down it seems as though I can hear this rattle become...

I've noticed recently that if it;s been raining and I get in the car I can hear a noise like water trickling somewhere when I drive along one particular corner which banks to the left quite a bit. Is this likely to be my sunroof leaking or is there anything else it could be? I'm not getting...

Thanks for pointing that out I didn't know about that. What's the band expander and how much are they? Do they only have limited FM frquencies or something that don't include those that we use over here?

I'm thinking of getting one of theseas I'm looking for a really cheap headunit to play mp3 cd's (on a budget and wanting t o play some tunes as I've only got a crappy standard headunit.) Do you think the sound quality would be all that bad? I'm not too bothered as long as it wasn't really...

bump :(

I just sent a letter to my insurance saying I was fitting a cat back stainless steel exhaust and decat and I got an letter back saying that it was OK.

basically as a few of you know I recently replaced the hub on my clio because the old one was needing replaced due to a bearing that had gone twice in a couple of months. Anyway, I had a new bearing put in the new hub (hub was taken form a clio at the scrappies) as it was needing replaced...

Bell are good - as I've been saying a lot on here over the past few weeks. I haven't had anyone else come close to them for quotes.

It's not because anyone thinks your a chav mate it's just that it attracts attention to your car and is therefor more likely to be damaged/stolen and any sort of engine mod give the impression to the i...nsurance company that your more likely to be the boy racer type at your age. I would say...

If you were to lower it and put tints all round I think it would look awesome mate. Looks good with the colour coding though.

try bell and admiral. They are sister companies of elephant but you can still get cheaper quotes fromt them. Just out of interest how mucha re you paying for insurance on a V6 at 21?

That's not always the case. It may be in the same sort of region for some quotes but for others it can be vastly different. I can't remember what elephant were wanting for me insured on a valver but I know that it would have been more that I could afford where as with bell it's within my...

lol, yeah it's definately getting slammed but it's just to see what it will be like and see what people think of it. I hate how high it is with just the alloys but had no choice but to put them on before lowering as I was getting bad vibration through the steering wheel and it was just that...

Cheers bud. What do you think?

Could someone please do a photoshop for me and lower the car in the pictures by about 55mm. I know I asked in another thread but I wasn't getting much response on the photoshop front so though I would start one specifically for the photoshop. Thanks. :D

'course they did;) I just wondered as I'd only seen the other photoshops - thought it might be against CS rules to do one of it lowered.
