Mr VR6 Sir. the knocking you describe may be the reuslt of engine mountings.. but.. I think u will find that it is the result of axle tramp (And that ISNT a lap dacer who fancies yer wheelie bits..!) when u r spinning the wheels the only thing to benefit is your serotonin level.. Have...

ok,, so, now we know that the diesel clio uses the same crank as the 172.. why is that important ??.. well.. its BLOODY INCREDIBLY important.. what it means is that you can rule out COMPLETELY the crank as a falure point.. these bloody things run 18-23:1 compression ratio...

if youre only lowering it for looks then use a welding torch .. heat the lower coil at the point the spiral goes upwards.. let the car gently settle as the coil bends.. a bit at a time until you get the height you require. let it cool naturally.. you will need a couple of plumbers kevlar...

Hi Nick, yes, the squat does have an effect, but it is minimal. the ap22 isnt meant to replace bolt on timing gear or RR. It is a means of reference. (And as such, is extremely accurate as said). squat at the rear causes an increase in timing, the transition to flat can cause a...

can you get me the oval plate number for the car ?. it will also be on your log book as probably version. on the clio it is on the passenger door frame. ta. muchly Joe

yep, agreed, the throttlebody from the 172 will be the most appropriate by far. and, yes, if you are going to do it,, do it right first time. The other thing to note.. the gt turbo clutch plate appears to fit the 172 clutch, I am trying one this weekend, so no worries there (there are...

Hi Chun, It would certainly be the neatest. having to change the pistons means removing the engine anyways.. its a simple matter to strip the block and have it drilled / tapped / cleaned.. Also, whilst it is out.. the head HAS to come off to change the pistons.. might as well remove...

rt.. ps, can you post images of these gals in the covertables with their tops down LOL.. Joe }

1. getting the driving position just right and feeling the car talk to you.. 2. the look on the face of the 911 driver on the m1 the other day 3. spotting a speed camera before it spots you ! 4. Continental tyres and their language (but not with the turbo ) 5. open country roads at...

no, like ships, there HAVE to be female difficult when they want to be.. Like to be dressed up and sparkly.. refuse to do what you ask sometimes.. and also get jealous if you look at other cars.... Joe

ps.. we can also do the oil feed from the location in the block where the genuine turbo unit fits. ?? it would mean removing gallery plugs to enable swarf clean out though ??. do you want details for both methods ?. Joe.

Hi fellow nutters... posted this to Chun below.. but copy here in case any of you guys with the parts missed it. tried the parts on the 172 engine today (I now have a spare mk1 complete unit ) will be able to supply pics of what needs moving / removing.. its fairly minor. also, the...

certainly did !! cheers m8.. ps.. tried the parts on the 172 engine today (I now have a spare mk1 complete unit ) will be able to supply pics of what needs moving / removing.. its fairly minor. also, the front engine cover from the 172 can be re-used (Needs just one hole drilling and...

I coonsidered this, but I wouldnt do this to a 172.. If anyone is up for it, I can assist.. A nice 2ltr turbo rear wheel drive, that would be bloody entertaining ! Joe... I will stick to the 4*4 plan though lol
