    clio rt 16v conversion

    Insurance depends on the company. Liverpool Victoria charge very little others wont cover it. Its about £1.4k for a 16V engine to be dropped in all inclusive

    Optimax

    Do a search BenR explained it all a few weeks ago. Higher ROn fuel means less knockin so the timing can be adjusted and compression ratio increased so more power. The 172/182 were designed for 97+ RON plus the extra cleaners in optimtax etc are better for the engine so Id sue them rather...

    megane 225 cup

    Yep its comming out. When depends on how the normal model sells. It might not be known as the cup though mods will be handling and power wise. Although brakes are likely to be uprated

    Low rev / stall

    The engine has the awquard idle due to emmisions regs. No other reason its Euro 4 or 5 emmisions laws means it has to be like that. Bed it in hard though will make more power but you need to do it with 20 miles from new realy.

    Throttle Body...

    The throttle body for the 1.2 is hidden upside down facing backwards behind the manifold. The picture should make it clear. The red thing is the T/B but its behind the manifold. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1088451287__err.jpg

    headlamp washer please help

    There not usually proper Xenon lights though. Proper Xenon need started packs for the 20000 V or so they need to kick them into operation. The ones you see for sale are look alike probably better than stock ones though just not true Xenons.

    FAO folks who have switched from 172-182

    I wouldnt personally its not going to be a massive change and for the cost its not worth it you could get coilover and some engine mods for less and be quicker than a 182. A 182 against a 172 will be worth about £1k more in a couple of yrs so youll be loosing a fair amount to change but it all...

    FAO 1.4 16v Owners

    No idea soory be best getting a custom one made maybe from powerflow who make one exactly as you like ie twin exhausts noisy etc. Only slightly more than an of the shelf type would be. You can fit motorbike cams to it if you like the noise of them.

    FAO 1.4 16v Owners

    I think an exhausts on the 1.4 gets an honest 10hp as the stock ones quite restrictive.

    FAO 1.4 16v Owners

    There is stuff out for the 1.4 but not much You can supercharge it for £6k I think the price worked out to be for 160hp. Ohter mods inculde 1.6 tranplant or least but the other bits you need. T/b for ~£3.5k Or normal tunning ie head work cams etc is about £2.5 for about 150hp.

    Who’s up for...

    How about a prize for most economical 1/4miles I think Ive got a chance there. Its a good idea but even afterwards youd get people saying well mine quicker or someone couldnt drive or for a rolling start Id win or wait till the twisties.

    most miles from a full tank

    485 from my last tank still had another 200 miles to go but got worried with the fuel gauge that low. I think thats about the best Ive never realy tried (got bored to easily) but 800 is easily possible. I dont drive easy either. The hot weather increases the mpg considerably.
