I emailed pistonheads, let them deal with it

My pleasure :clown:

I emailed him asking about the car and what is he talking about reserve orices for....

definately! the advert text seems to have been stolen from ebay!

you still paying for the modded beast then? how come your insurance is so high? I live local, similar age and my insurance on similar cars is about £600-800

you to be banned :rasp::rasp:

lmao at the vid!

i just realised who it is that posted the question. Dont you thik you should learn to drive before even thinking about performance mods? though i suppose these would be good for you as they would restrict power

i only mention it because the volvo parts are easy to come by and its the same engine.

looking good mate!

as J6 pkp said 8v engines normally have more low down torque. However that appears to not have been your question. The Clio 16v (1.8 16v engine) is the 'sport' model of the mk1 clios. It is what the Williams is based on. The Clio RSi (1.8 8v) is a sportier standard model. It is the same...

in principal, good, in practice i'd rather s**t in my filter housing

I'd rather not end up reading about them having blown up an engine, hence my original comment. Fair enough, I look forward to seeing the results!

They do insure Cups and have never not. The 'myth' of them not insuring Cups started when they announced they can do particularly good rates for ph1 172, ph2 172 ff and 182's because of the low claim rates on them, they could not offer this on 172cups because the claim rate was much much higher.

For people not too into detailing thats not a bad kit. Personally I'd like a flexiblade for glass anyway, so this is a pretty damned good buy.

really? Must have gone up. but then I enquired sometime ago...

It was my understanding that charged engines (turbo or super) running that kind of power on the 1*2 engine needed uprated internals. I have never claimed to understand the forces of a supercharged engine and I am not really that bothered about understanding them.

mattblack sells them iirc

Re: 70% complete 172RWD! wtf?? thats his one and only post....

why bother putting the 1.8 16v or even the williams engine in when you can do a 172 conversion?

Thats not a 182 manifold... :clown:

Yes I have driven both and found with the eibachs on it was much better. You seem to ave missed my point about there being something wrong with the spring. IMO there is something intrinsically wrong with the spring as you have found it to be so apalling. If it was me and I had just shelled...

it gives a firmer ride, reduces body roll, feels more planted, more stable, the only thing which isnt better is ride quality, as a result of being lower and firmer ride isnt as smooth, small compromise for much improved handling imo. It would appear there was something wrong with the springs...

it depends on the series. you'll need to research the individual race series

I still think something is wrong. Eibach springs, pro or sport simply are better!

personally dont like the morettes in mk2 ph1 or 2 clios, but they look great oh the mk1. as for the alloys i love them!

bling diamond encrusted alloys?

ah true...
