^^ 2ltr is a much better base engine to start work on!
trust me iv tuned a 1.8 and it wasnt worth it (altho it was fast, it wasnt a patch on the 2ltr's iv had since that have less modifications than the 1.8 did)
200/ton is easy achieved from a 2.0! decent coilovers, wilwoods, some nice wheels, and you'll be laughing!
great fun!
or you could spend the money on a 172 and be bored in a week ;) or you could buy something else for the money but it wouldnt be as good fun as a 200/ton valver IMO!
puts it into perspective. especially as the FWD clios will have crap traction compared so some of those listed above! from rolling is where the 200+ clio's make the difference!
especially the under 900kg's mk1's ;)
evo might win to 60, then it would get mullered!
i had a 280bhp scooby and it shifted like fuk off the line, but my current clio would spank its ass after 60 purely as it was loosing almost 80bhp through transmission, and weighed in at around 1300kg!!!
its all about power AT THE WHEELS per ton...
mmmm undecided about the caps at the mo!! these wheels are only really on so i can move it 60 yards from my garage to my drive lol!!
sorn'd as i wont really be using it over winter as nowts happening, and tax and MOT ran out!
gives me time to get a few bits and bobs sorted for it ready to...
gutted.....12 x 14.0's!!!
i reckon i could have had it in the 13's!!! ;)
seriously quick motor!!! i embarrased a lot of 'faster' cars in the beast!!!
204/ton, oh yes!!!!!
bottom end is standard (for now) but cams, headwork, etc, etc, as well!
its SORN'd at the mo, so i cant evendrive it which is annoying, will be back on the road in a month or so though!
birds eye (ish) pic:
yeh iv got some pro race 1's here, just need tyres, and powdercoating how i want them like! could only get them in silver as they stopped making them now!
Micra is my shed car, cheap as chips to run, and i can leave it anywhere worry free!
Means i dont have to use the clio daily too!
When I had it:
2.0 16v F7R
cams (260 i think)
verniers
SMT6 piggyback chip
Supersprint exh manifold
green panel filter in standard airbox
Decat
Scorpion exhaust
Martin had the limitor upped i think, and fitted coilovers, and willy track!
Awesome motor!
i cant wire brush in between the bottom of the coilover (that you turn) and the actual coilover tho!
might take the lot off and let it soak then!
i do think something is caught up in it!
i do want it lower than it is at the mo tho, so as long as i can get it back to normal under the point...
ok mate thanks! iv put loads of WD40 on but i didnt clean owt off first!
Wasnt sure of a bit of grit or something had gone inside the thread and is wedging it!
thing is if i look down the hole where the alen bolt goes there apears to be a bit of a build up of metal in there! iv got a bad...
They've been on the car a while (GAZ), and Iv just lowered one side perfectly how i want it!! go to do the other, and the fuker will hardly budge!
iv managed 2 turns in about 40mins. Something doesnt feel right, is it possible that they can become cross threaded or anything? because after the...

You would normally get into your router/modem settings using http://192.168.0.1 but it may vary depending on model
Once in there you need to enter your username and password, choose the conncetion type (usually PPPoA)
If you dont know your settings ring up...
