if you have a mrk1 172 then before doing the above guide.
jack the car up and secure it.
drop the front bolt of the new dog bone mount. (engine side)
see the black bracket attached to the gear box?
slacken the top bolt to finger tight its 13mm
then using a screwdriver or something to pivet the...
m8,.. try this first..
remove the engine cover.
undo the 4 bolts on the left hand mount
get a bar(big one)
jam it behind the back of the mount and rest it against the strut piller
****mind the AC pipes**** do not rest it against them
push the bar towars the rear of the car (moving the engine...
it does work out more but you can canx a policy in 14days and get a full refund.
then he can sort out greenlight in the meantime and go with them again it just to get insurance over xmas
y dont you just get a policy off the net from tesco or admiral etc on the 24th.. pay monthly (put down deposit about £100) then canx the insurance in the new year within 14days and get a full refund of your deposit. this gives you insurance over xmas and you will get a full refund on the 14th...
sorry?
ok maybe its just me but spending 8k on clio to have it on the ramps once a week to have a unstable extra 30-40hp is beyond me.
its not just about stright line speed. theres lots of other things that come along with it.
you own a modified car so you are not going to sit there and...
im in the same boat. already own a few propertys. have the spare cash but like you said it depends on the indivual.. but i could proberly think of better things to spend the spare 8k on
like ed siad.. on a 1.2 you can spend 1.5 k on a 172 engine and get 100bhp then your having fun... spend 1500 on a 172/182 and you will get a lumpy idle lol
the point of the thread was "is tuning worth it?"
i wouldnt spend 8k on a clio. there is just no logic imo..id put the money into somthing to make more money. but thats just me.
theres m3's knocking about for 18k..
12-14k for a 182 + your 8k.= 21-22k on a clio .... no thanks
if i bought a 182 and put it against one of the tuned 182's would i notice 8ks worth of difference? really? would you be any better off than the stock 182 at the end of it? would you have a little more fun and be thankful that you have spent your 8k
look at matt blacks TT. couldnt sell it.. had to brake it propberly got 3k back for what cost 10k,15k? to biuld. "had loads of fun when it worked" nothing like giving 10k away
if you want a nice exhaust note, lower the ride hight, etc etc.. then as long as you dont go mad then things can be...
i disagree,
the clio isnt great at anything its good at a few things.
would i buy a 12k clio and spend 5k-10k making it go a little quicker and stop a little faster and go round bends better?
or would i just get on with it? and wait until i can get a stock faster car, which has for...
i have a HID ballast
