Right the 17s have gone back on today as I got a 2 inch x 2 inch bit of metal in my tyre and I didnt fancy running round with a crusty spare on. So iv decided to keep em on now. Forgot how nice they look. Anyway they are in need of new tyres. Any recomendations? Good Year F1s are looking...

Im attempting to fit the phase 2 grill on my phase 1 clio. Its obviously been designed different because the usual screw holes dont line up at all. Anyone know an easy way around this before I go and make some bizzare shaped brackets of some kind! Thanks

A few pics of my car (in bits) and Paul16vs car taken today. Thought id show em if anyone is interested. http://www.igadams.fsnet.co.uk/car/wip/Click me

Gonna get one for my 16v. I can get one and can also get the adaptor made up by the end of the week. The company making the adaptor wants to know the length and size of pipes, adaptors, degree bends. Does anyone know this before I start to measure up?

Whilst my engine is out thought i might pay a visit to the car and get the engine bay looking nice and clean.. Any tips or ideas to make it a little special?

i bought a spare head from a 19 16v to do up then put on my clio. The guy fitting it has just rang me up and says it is different. Has a few extra bits and some holes in the back that the clio one doesnt have!!!! I thought the heads where exactly the same!!!??? Please help! Im going to...

Dont want to sound thick as sh1te, but as 17s seem to slow acceleration would it make a difference on the rollers with 17s on compared with 15s on?

Anyone secured their phase 2 centre caps to the alloy. I saw some with holes in the middle but they didnt look particularly nice. Iv just bought a set and my last ones on my last car got nicked! Dont want it to happen again really!

Iv been reading a couple of posts on these. Thinking of getting one to replace my K&N. The only thing I have managed to find is below. Will this have the adaptor does anyone know? Cheers http://www.passionmotorsport.co.uk/BMC5.htmhttp://www.passionmotorsport.co.uk/BMC5.htm

Cn anyone recommend any decent ones? My adaptor snapped and I was in a similar situation to Ryhs, but luckily only 1 pin snapped and managed to get the old ones off. So im looking for a decent set that has a decent adaptor. Everyone Iv ever had have been flimsy. Someone recommended Vauxhall...

Was it difficult?

I cant afford a new manifold on top of everything else iv just forked out for so what can I do to mine to make it look that bit nicer? Rub down and paint? What sort of paint is needed, heat resistant for a guess? Anyone done anything else at all?? Cheers

Top bloke. He can get you alsorts of bits. He got me Kent cams, verniers, performance cam belt, ARP rod bolts, all at a decent price. Kept me informed and sent stuff out straight away!!! Thanks a lot mate youve saved me a fortune!!! Craig

Anyone know where I can get these from for a Clio 16v? Thanks

....for 2 weeks anyway! ....and hello to my mums 1.4RT. Had a race with a 1.6 Escort....and WON! lol Its quite nippy actually but seems to use more fuel than my valver. Think it needs a service!

Anyone??? The guy at the scrapyard said it was the same engine. Thought id check before looking into it! Cheers

My cam belt went snap a few weeks ago. Im having a few other bits and bobs done to the engine whilst its going to be in bits. I spoke to the guy who is going to be doing most of the work and fitting today for a price. He said he would do the following. Some for extra power etc, and other...

Im after a change from the PMC front splitter on my valver. Im not into bodykits or anything huge so something smart and moderate! I like the Ibiza splitter but every moddable motor seems to have one nowdays. Any ideas would be appreciated??? Cheers

Would it cost the same or cheaper to buy a megane 2.0 engine and swap the bottom end for mine than to have the bottom end of mine completely rebuilt...?

with pics........! Watch this space! :)

How the hell do I get the pulleys off the cams. Iv managed to find a vice at home but they wont budge. Any tips cos I dont want to damage the cams as they are being sent off for reprofiling tomorrow. Doesnt matter about the pulleys as they are being replaced. Cheers

The bloke that is doing my engine work mentioned he can blueprint my engine. I know what this is as Iv read up on it but is it going to be an expensive job on top of the rest of the work? I didnt ask him at the time but if its going to add mega bucks onto the total then id rather know what to...

While my engine is being sorted I may as well have a new clutch fitted as mine was occasionally having trouble getting into gears. Any recommendation? Iv been thinking of a Williams one, or how about the Renault 5 uprated one on andyspares. Heard this fits and is good. Any experiences...
