Just watched it again after you said that, always thought the Allen key should be at about 12 o'clock

No doubt he will be running 8 injectors, seen a few gti6 Peugeot's pulling big n/a power with a similar setup. The second set of injectors won't come in till higher up the rev range or till a certain loads is met I would of thought, maybe wrong though.

Well a little update today, popped round to me parents house to be greeted with a parcel :) Powerflex Dogbone and Wishbone kit courtesy dave78. Going to fit the dogbone sometime this week, as for the wishbone bushes I've picked up some wishbones off here that I'm going to weld the sleeve to...

I've read this too and tbh I think I'd still do it just invade it decides to eat me subframe.

Cause not mate, I'll keep me ear to the ground. I do miss some asppects of the motor trade but I make it up when I'm off haha (atm clio sports belts seem to be the flava of the month seeing as I bought all the tooling from renault haha)

Not as far as I know matey, they've not long took a few folk on. I've been here 4 years now, and then when I'm off I repair cars as I'm ex motor trade

I'm staff so not a contractor so there pretty good, I work on maintenance side so its not bad work. They look after you, bupa health care, final salary pension, full sick pay and about 28k a year basic and I only do 14 shifts a month!

Yeah that'll be me, I work for Bombardier repairing trains in Barton so I work shifts. I live on Westfield road atm but moving onto new estate near drum and monkey once the house is finished.

Looks good, I too prefer the ph1 rear end. How much did mark fish charge for setup?

The old ones difficult to fit? What's hard about a couple of spot welds exactly? From what I've read on here a lot of folk have been struggling to get the black ones in place on the car once there fitted to the wishbones!

That'll be me mate, its where I live. Are you from swad?

Cheers gray, now I've got all the house sorted its full steam ahead haha. How's the meggy? Cheers mate I do try haha

That was what the main compliant of the gdi was, poor running and all that!

We always ended up doing a lot of decoke jobs on them, heads off and all that

Volvo used the gdi engine in the s40, they were the bain of our lifes!

I always thought the gdi's were petrol direct injection units?

its been posted enough times now mate, do a search some very interesting infomation on this matter.

Just brought powerflex wishbone bushes and a dogbone mount out the classifieds. Unused got the lot for 80quid delivered! Gonna fit the doggone straight away but going to weld the powerflex collars on then powdercoat the wishbones and fit new bottom balljoints before fitting. More pictures soon!

I'm off work so think I'm gonna take a trip to this in the T.

Cheers mate, yeah probably something they do production end no doubt.

Thanks mate, I do try haha

Washed it yesterday an changed the aux belt today

Well seeing as I've had the car since last July I thought it was about time to start a thread seeing as its going to be getting alot of tlc soon ;) Some of you may know me, this is my 3rd RS Clio and I've been a member since the start although only become really active recently. I really do...

Fair play, that's what you call dedication.

Awesome video, how the other half live ay :o No doubt I'd do the same if money was no object!

Thats awesome! Are those wheels 16's or 17's? Any other mods? It was between on of these an my first 172 a few years back, sometimes I wish I'd gone down the st route although I love the clios.

Pretty sure your right there mate. Can you get the outer cv joint kits for these?

I love type r's, a few friends have them an I've changed a few gearbox's for them an they are well put together. As for your comment krys, most of its down to personal preference. Handling wise, I'd say there on part but I didn't rate the standard brakes. Reliability wise, every car has its...

I had these on my old 172, were fine tbh. A little more vibration at idle then standard but hardly noticeable. Only bad when fitted incorrectly.
