Hmmm L...TBP. All I can say is the red valver which Jason has ,ias the same sequence, just a different number. Must be a Renault garage around London I think, cos we bought it in Kent if I remember right.

I used to always run better times at York, around 0.2 seconds which I put down to the better launch surface for road tyres. This is a factor which, for all those doubters, York actually mention themselves in their literature. And at Santa Pod, Im sure youre always driving against the wind as...

Most fixed cameras are easy to spot nowadays anyway. Likewise mobile traps at the side of the road. The only things you cant guard against are laser and a follow check. Theres nothing you can do about a policeman in a patrol car doing a follow check on you, as I found out when I just got banned...

Champion ones are very good but they only seem to be sold in those dodgy old motor factors where they have an ashtray on the counter, or in Kwik Fit. But I always found them much better than any others. The Halfords own ones are ok but perish quite quickly. Bosch are slightly better but slightly...

Is that Wongys old valver? I recognise the splitters and the two things on the dashboard top!

quitto as in Seat Ibiza

There IS no choice. Get Magnecor - end of story. The OEM leads (Bougicord) are actually very good leads and built in the same way that Magnecor build theirs. Other leads are not. Ive run Magnecor KV85 on my valver for 5 years now, in standard tune, with head work, on nitrous and now with a...

I would have thought so, seeing as every other car I see on the road is a new shape Clio LOL Seriously though, if you are new to working on your car, then yes I would defeinitely recommend it. I can do a fair amount of jobs on my Clio and I still found it useful, mainly because its not aimed...

Never knew a thing about cars after years of driving until I got my valver. Found Id bought a slightly dodgy motor where things kept going wrong. Started minor modifications, uprating parts whenever they needed replacing. Gradually started to meet like-minded people with old Clios who after a...

4 doors, practical and very fast? You want a fast estate. Volvo T5 or whatever they are called nowadays...Mitsubishi Galant VR-4...Audi S4 Avant...All of them discreet, practical and quick compared to hot hatches.

I didnt know that! Is it at every GSF?

Smokey PM on the way mate. Glad to hear its not instant ban time. Im pretty sure I could argue against a ban anyway because of my job, but its easier not to have to have the hassle of it in the first place.

Well Ive got an appearance next week for allegedly doing 101.8mph on a dual carriageway. Ive got 3 points for TS10 already (driving through a red light), which should expire this coming July. It looks to me like even if I was convicted of 101.8mph, the usual punishment would be 6 points and a...

Just drive at 80 everywhere and slam on the brakes for the speed camera. On a more serious note, your speedo will be out anyway and with your factory wheels on, an indicated 50mph is probably more like 47 or 48. If it wasnt people would be able to say at court that their speedo was wrong...

Ive had slower cars than my Clio turbo. But only as second cars to try and keep the miles off the Clio or to fill in for when its been off the road having work done. In the last couple of years, whilst all the time owning my Clio, Ive had a Nissan 200SX (1.8 turbo ~190bhp), Fiat Tipo (1.4...

Yokes are soft and only worth having if you can get them really cheap. Thats why they often come with wheel and tyre packages because they dont cost a lot but theyre half decent. I dont know what the Michelins are like but I dont trust anything that are used on a car as an OE tyre cos they...

Im with 007 and 2 Live here. Im glad I didnt have a quick car when I was a teenager cos Id be dead by now. Im 31 and still driving my hot hatch. Ive thought about getting a sensible estate now, but cant bring myself to do it. In fact if anything the older I get the more impractical my car...

George - Prima arent exactly renowned. I think youll find it hard to pin anyone down whos had work done there and been over the moon about it. Or come to think of it anyone whos had work done there at all. Theyre just not a current player in the world of Clios. To get a standard 1764 valver...

They would look hot as long as you didnt leave them gold. Powder coat them anthracite or black. Just out of interest, how much they been offered to you for?

Toypop, seeing as youre the main one calling everyone chavs, Ill address this to you. It sounds like you havent the faintest idea of what a chav is. Everyone else on here does, which is why they take offence at you calling them a chav. Look back at your arguments saying people shouldnt mind...

Speedos vary in their inaccuracy. Youd need to get results from a few different Willys to check it properly.

BTW Im not taking the piss here, I know there are some quick, tuned motors about, Adams_16v, Rockport your numbers make sense, 143, 141 etc as long as you take that as a clock figure and not genuine - 135 and 133 would be about right and thats not even a 10% under-reading, thats with a speedo...

Hmmm Ill believe a valver doing a GENUINE 140 when I see it. 140 on the clock is more like 130 anyway. Id say 130 is about the top whack that youll see out of a valver. I think the book was 129, in practice you could probably see a little more but Id be very surprised to see anything like 140. I...

No no youve all got it wrong...a chav wouldnt even own a car. Thats just a dream to a chav. No, the only realistic prospect of private transport that a chav has is a SCOOTER. Anyone who is under 20 and rides a scooter should be locked up automatically. My opinion is either get the bus or walk...

IIRC the 19 box is slightly longer geared overall, but not sure about the exact ratios.

and between 19 and Clio 16v inlet manifolds.

Depends on what car. Whether its atmospheric or recirculating makes no odds, thats down to what kind of boost sensing the car uses, not really a matter of choice. As far as I see it, the rule is - If its actually quite fast, any dump valve is OK. If its not, e.g. as Mike said, a Volvo 360...

Unless youve driven both you wont tell the difference by when it gets going, in a Willy its a little lower down but theyre both full up on the cam by 4500-5000. Best way is either the engine tag which will be F7R for a 2.0 engine and F7P for a 1.8, but this is tricky to find. Easiest way is just...

I tried the Mr Clutch in Southend. They quoted a very good time on it (and price) but when I brought it in they said they couldnt do it because of supposed health and safety problems with my nitrous lines being in the engine bay. I showed them there wasnt even a nitrous bottle connected and they...
