The car wouldnt be that bad for towing if they sold them with a better clutch. Its strong and torque only problem would be its weight or lack of weight reduces its potential to tow heavy cars or trailers etc.

Id keep looking for it. A new key plus disabl;ing the old key from starting the car is £80~£120 depending where you go. You need someone with a Renault laptop who can add and remove keys to a Clio and 99.9% are owned by dealers. Dont forget that if someone else has your key they will still...

What sort of thing are you looking for? There are soe companies who specialise in tunning cars in particular Clio ie BB, GDi, Hill power, Ktec but I dont know of anyone who specialises in exterier looks of the Clios. Im not particulary into exterier modification to cars but I wouldnt imagine...

The problem is down to the exhaust fitment. You could have an tow vbar made though so long as you dont intent towing something very heavy.

The problem is that Mk2 phase 1 Clios like yours can sometimes have the 52mm spaced hubs and you need a 52mm kit to fit it or you need to buy some 58mm spaced hubs and then most kits will fit it.

Keep them wound down looks good. There probably no locking mechanism my front dont have any and its not a problem. Definatly put the dust covers on though the shocks get realy dirty if you dont and will damge the seals (like mine have).

The parts alone are £2k or so last time I totalled it up. Then youve got fitment and that will be fun youd have to either bodge the wiring or strip most the car out. The you have to get a dealership to sort out the UCH.

Best way to learn is on a track. Go on you know you should its only right. Plus us Williams overs need some challenge.

Youll have to bring it onto the track. Infact there a track day on next week very cheap in Angalsey. http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=7&TopicID=148310&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=7&TopicID=148310&PagePosition=1 Go...

Id go with the Williams a 1.8 will be only slightly cheaper say £250 Vs 750 so there only £500 difference since a 1.8 youll still want to change all the belts etc and instalation cost is the same.

Id probably buy a 172 and not get in any dept personally. Not saying the Tropy or 182 Cup isnt good valve there superb cars but I dont like debt. A £4~5k Mk1 172 is excellent value you wont loose much more money on it a Trophy or 182 Cup your looking at loosing £4k in a year Id guess.

Keep it that low it looked good today when I saw it. You probably dont have to lock the components together my fronts dont have any its just a thing to run up and down and its never been any trouble.

Ive heard of a car mapped to 8.5k standard bottom end which survived until the oil temps were allowed to rise over 140 degrees and the connecting rods on piston 4 broke. (which inturn wiped out most of the engine). I think valve trains good to 9k. However the higher you push it the more it...

Nitrogen is one option. Air is the best all round though funny gasses could be used but they have other properties they arnt helpful.

When you take the strut off there 36mm of spare thread there even its in plate there must be 1 cm of thread above the top of the top strut bit.

You mena sbonnet dents are how they should be? Doesnt seem very well designed if it should dent the bonnet.

Yep ther were on the car Id imagined they had been installed wrong hence why they hit the bonnet. I took the front suspension off to clean it and change the bottom ball join/s and driveshafts.

Part 5 is the bump stop and the bit when the spring sits on. Thing is the suspesnion has been on the car so I know if I put it together the right was it will fit and work.

Yep. Not very good IMO. Passenger side is leaking slightly.

I hope someoen can help because Im stuck. Ive got the bits in the drawing which seem to be misisng bits from the Haynes manual description. The way there were installed was 5, 2, 1, 3, 4 but that means the strut top dented the bonnet and sticks up to far. Id think the way they should be...

If youve got 9k and dont want ti modified for track days etc then get a Mk1 or early Mk2 172 (if you prefere the mk2 look as some people do) for 4~6k and stick the rest of the money in the bank.

SMT 6/7 are good depends what you want though.

Nope its been mapped by Hill power.

7.2k. The problem is that 270 degree cams like mine make loads of torque high up the rev range and there no drop off. So reving the engine to 8k would give even more power.

There good for 7.5k or so I think with stock bottom ends. If you have a ligthened bottom end you can go to 8k Id personaly prefere to keep it under 7k though

To pull the rear beam down. Youd shouldnt need it it shoudl just fall down itself when the shcoks bolts are removed but its a Renault.

The handling of the 182 has been made better and they reduced the weight by removing the spare in the 182 compaired to the Mk2 172. Thers about 10hp difference probably but some engines are better than others. Id personaly choice between a Mk1 172 for £4~5k or a Trophy I think for £13k. I...

They are a replacment ECU they give more power mid range and a few hp top end plus a 8k limiter. They increase the idle to 1.2k

Since you have coilovers you can use normal o the shelf springs. Demon tweeks sell them for £50 for a pair. Almost any weight you want.

I was on about the intake manifold there no way youd get the normal bonnet on over that. Id recomend running highter poundage front springs though say 200lb.
