you're mental! lol would like to see a side on pic of the wheels though, they look like theyve got some poke on them! lol

this seems like a typical, got my first car, want it to be well sick y0 i wantz turbo!! oh its a lot of work, and i just crashed my 1.2

stick your finger in the gap marked with the green arrow, hold the inside door release lever out, and move your finger in the direction of the red arrow! lol

tbh, £45 for the engine to be timed up perfectly is a bargain!! even if you add £30 petrol ontop of that!! i may take you up on that offer sometime next year when i take my engine out danny!!

theyre cheap tat imo, they cost 170 off ebay originally, then ktec started supplying them at double the cost!! if you can get them at the original ebay price i say go for it, but dont be expecting any massive performance increases!! and i wouldnt pay 360 for them, look for some better second...

erm, pull the door handle?! lol

sorry ive been terrible with photos recently, the weathers been too shocking to take my camera out with me while working on the car!! ive finally got the suspension sitting how i want it, its not nearly as low as my previous builds as i kinda wanted this build to be a little more serious...

that sounds awesome!! lol

potential to be a nice car!! but you might as well just prime the bits you actually do and get it all painted a nice colour once youre finished!! matt black is not a good look!! lol

well the weather cleared up enough for me to go and tighten all my rear suspension and fit the suspension tops! also managed to ponse a lift to a local motor factors to get the auxillary belt so that should be arriving tomorrow!! :D

as long as it fits over the brakes itll be fine! wheelfit is the same for all 4-bolt renault wheels!! bad luck about the bolt though! :(

sounds good!! but im sure there will be a few more clear days to get some work done!! this is how she stands atm!! infortunatley, if the weather doesnt get any better, ill be putting an aux belt and wiring up the alternator and potentially leaving her until the easter!! :( however IF we...

exactly chris! :D was going to fit the box mount today too, but this damn weather is ruining my fun!! :( ill go and get a snap of my progress so far, but i dont think ill be doing any work on her today!

the ktec one is the same, theyre both by whiteline!

they didnt make turbines in 16" i dont think, if they need a respray and rubber id say 120-130. but theyre getting pretty rare now so if you dont buy them, im sure someone else will!!

awesome!! ill be booking the all day track pass if this is the case!! lol

it will fit, but it will rub until you cut something, not 100% certain what you have to cut though but its a small modification!

i was just reading about this on c16v!! the valver one has a yellow and green, yellows the ignition live, and green does the "no charge light", do i need to connect both so that the alternator will work properly?? why does the "no charge" light need to be connected so make the battery charge...

yes it will fit, straight in, on the same mounts (upper gearbox might need moding) wiring may be interesting though!! a few people have put the F7 engines in mk2s

oh really?! how annoying! the plug to the williams/valver alternator was a 2 pin plug, so there are two pins on the alternator, any idea which one it needs to be connected to?

well ill be cutting my engine look down tomorrow lee!! im gna do the same, untape lots then cut out all the un-used plugs and trace the wires back as far as i can and tape them up!!

aahh thanks a lot!! im building a track car and using a williams alternator and mk1 alternator brackets, so the plug on the F4 loom didnt fit, ill just leave it unplugged since i was planning on running a voltmeter anyways!!

sorry to dig this up but what size belt did you use in the end?? im running what i think is the volvo set up, and the belt that i used on my F7R is no where near long enough!! did i read correctly that youre meant to use a 850mm 5rib belt with my set up?? thanks heres a pic of my set up...

ahh sorry, i have no idea about mk3s at all!!

"car: clio 1.2 TCE 08"......................does that mean you own a mk3??? if so then im tagging out!! lol

What does the little plug (not the big red wire) on the alternator do?? is it meant to only have a single wire coming out of it? on my ph1, its a two pin connector, but only has a white wire coming out of it, it also has what looks like a green wire that has sheered off right as the base of...

i assume before you look at buying expensive discs and pads for "more stopping power" youve already swapped for the 280mm 172 brakes?

never wait around with these things!! :) and nah, ive just cut the pas pipes out the way for now, i probs wont look at the rack until i drop the entire subframe next easter :( short of maybe fitting my engine mounts so i can bin the old ones, getting a new belt on and maybe modding the loom to...

the standard catch is still there, i just added the pins because i was worries about the boot flexing!! lol heres one or two pics from todays work!! i stripped all the ancillaries off the engine until she was completely naked!! (filthy slut) then i added (as you can see in the pic) two...

if you just want to learn, and not want to drive.... buy broken 172s on the cheap, break them for parts on here and on ebay, learn clios like the back of your hand, AND make money!! id say 70% of my knowledge about cars is from stripping them down for parts or repair!! theres no point...
