Just get one. Youll not regret it. They dont come up very often, so have a look at Bens (djmcfish). Minter by all account. Only 1200 in UK in total.

Do you mean a choice between the Clio 91-96 Clio 1.8 16v (konwn as 16v or Valver) and a 98-00 1.6 16v (later RSi)? If thats the case, then youre really looking at two totally different kettle of fish. The Clio 16v was developed from Group A rallying - where Renault Sport still holds the...

Im assuming youve got a 1991-98 non-16v/Willy pumped up arches Clio. If that is the case, then you can go up to 17s - but as Juss will tell you, itll slow you down. 15s are probably the best on a non-big arch Clio as you get rubbing without arch mods with anything bigger. I know! I used...

She?

Yeeeeeeaaaaaabbbbbaaaaaddddaaaabbbbbaaaadddooooooo!!! Good. So youre keeping it then! ?

Just take it for a drive mate. Actually, Ive organised a Cliosport meet on Saturday in Cardiff. Come to that! I remember after my last big bill on my 16v I should have been economising. But instead I thought: "fog it - I want to get some value for money out of this car!!". So I drove...

Dont be fooled into thinking that 190Nm of torque is more than on the older 2.0s. Manufacturers are quietly dropping the lb/ft measure as the Nm measure is a higher ratio compared to lb/ft. So a Clio 16v with 116lb/ft of torque becomes 158Nm of torque @4250rpm!

Most people with the Williams have done little beyond the filter/exhaust. Thats due in part to the fact that the 16v/Williams are expensive to tune, but also because the Williams is already a cult icon. If you want to mod a car then the Williams is not the best choice. Many people will...

Willy 3 did have optional sunroof. My mate is the 2nd owner of a late N-plate Willy 3 and that has a Renault factory option sunroof.

The 2.0 16v as used in the Williams and earlier Megane is called the F7R, the 1.8 16v as used in the Clio/19 16v is called the F7P. The 1.8 makes 137bhp, the 2.0 150bhp - so not so much in terms of power. But the 2.0 has a much more linear power delivery than the 1.8. Its more torquey at...

Make sure it is attached as youll be drawing unfiltered air into the car. Im guessing with that the K & N itll be the hose that bypasses the inlet manifold. Just think of all the crap itll be drawing in!! To put it right, take of the whole induction assembly off the throttle body unit. You...

Like I say, 106 GTi is a contemporary Valver in most aspects apart from image and looks. But the real thing is a 16v. Get one mate! And only using it at the weekends will hardly harm it either!!

I meant each to their own as in some like to play loud music and some dont. I dont. I didnt mean that I think its OK to either.

Well Captain... Humans have an inherrent tendency to quantify when talking about most things - and cars are no exception. We seek in every avenue of debate about induction kits, style, handling to give some figures to discuss. Now, Im all up for some sort of post-modern...

Thing is Joe, although I dont wear Paisley slippers, I have been known to play jazz really loudly while wearing my red crushed velvet jacket. Im actually into my jazz, and will turn up the old Henry Mancini or Ella Fitzgerald to piss off the townies! I like my sounds, but good quality mid...

I doubt mine weighs much less than 975kgs, which is the standard weight for a 16v. I have removed the spare wheel though - saved at least 10kgs!! Thats not meant to be a serious weight saving mod btw, just wanted to get better access to the exhaust. After the cam belt snapped in service, the...

Can you imagine what theyll do for the battery though on a ten year old car??

Just to make clear that it was a boggo 215bhp (or thereabouts?) new shape Scooby. I dont know if thats a plain WRX or a plain STi. But it was definitely plain something as once we got above 40mph I was leaving him by a cars length per 15-20mph. But at the roundabouts and off the mark, the...
