Love to see (And hear) a clio with a 2J... *drool*
Personally the costs of implementing any of this on a daily (Assuming it's a daily) would not be worth it, you would have to replace pretty much everything on the car not to mention the insurance, extra fuel for the engine, servicing, the...
I get ticking when it's cooling down, believe as above its metal parts cooling. If it happening while running hmm Any chance of a video or audio capture ?
Replacing the unit with something new will likely be more cost effective for you, but as paddmcc said SSD's make a dramatic difference to the way your OS boot's and the systems general response time. Loading screens flicker by and you never have to defrag again :P (Mainly because you cant :D)
Small world ;) A processor replacement will be dire expensive, defiantly past £150. For that I'd recommendatory one of the hybrid drives and 4gb of RAM. Should speed it up a fair bit :)
A 1.4 Dual core ain't so bad, Im using a samsung n130 which has a single 1.6 core with hyperthreading and It...
Hmm laptops are a little more tricky than desktop's with the micro form factor's. The CPU's are often not interchangeable but the RAM and HDD should come straight out, What's your budget for the build ? If it's low then I'd recommend a 7200 HDD upgrade (Assuming its 5400) or spend a little more...
My local asda has an understore car park and rarely is a clio sport seen amongst the chavs, mainly Fiesta ST's, KA's, saxo's and more recently an Audi R8 and a LY Megane.
I imagine these arn't too different from the K4J (As there basically the same with more stroke ?)
The airbox can be a pain to get out, normally I have to undo the coolant bottle and move it to the side so you can "shimmy" the box out, that aside its pretty easy
I've just recently had both of the rear tyre's replaced on the clio and now the steering feel's really weird, the car feels like it only wants to go in a straight line and the car seems "Unsettled" when driving at motorway speeds and I cant quite figure out what it is. Since i've owned her i've...
Can't figure out if your being sarcastic or not lol surely with no dump between the turbo and TB it would cause a nasty flow of pressure back thro the turbo or blow the body to high heaven ? lol

Bit far for me to travel unfortunately, the seller's feedback isn't 100% reassuring though.
Might be a bargain for somebody!
I know what you mean, I struggled to sleep a lot due to the ringing driving me mad. I've noticed the more I think about it the louder it seems to get.
I feel i'm lucky though, I could be much worse off :)
