Think everywhere I've done this job for ( I freelance ;) ) has been in the £240-260 region

someone's changed those then. They should be 10mm hex as standard I use a normal 10mm socket on a 3 inch extension. it doesn't have to be deep if you have an extension

honest to god. It's crazy. I also do my plugs about once a year

16mm deep socket if you dont have a proper sparkplug socket

a performance engine should be able to make 100bhp per litre without going excessively nuts IMO. obviously the K4M/J isn't sold in performance trim (well it is now in the Twingo RS) but if you bring it up to spec then there's no reason it can't make good power. 200bhp from a 2 litre F4R isn't...

officially the change interval is 72k. however they're mostly fucked at half that

i could do with some greasy wizard sleeve

big sleeve ;)

that's generous. they're piss poor and slop around in the hole like a dick in a shirt sleeve

the 1.6 would be a better place to start if you want to do a non sport. There's loads out there for them if you look around a bit and they're tuned a lot across europe. 100bhp per litre is a sensible tuning target IMO

thumbs up to that. Too many people think they're worth a fortune but wont pay the going rate when they want something done that someone else is skilled at. Fair play to you :)

NO!!!!!!!!! the gasket to the head is way bigger than you want to port out to.

man the f**k up? ;)

hook me the f**k up

I love the F1s on a mk1. willy wheels are getting a bit obvious

Ivan, talk to me. I'm pretty sure your tastes will be different to those on here (those of us of a more mature and delicate persuasion ;) )

as above, pretty sure they're 259 or 256 I have a set on the shelf for a 1.4 16v, I'll try to remember to measure tomorrow

shoot me NOW

Got a set of fireblade bodies I'm going to put up for sale soon. You'll still need management though ahmed, which is what scared you off when you asked before

the track rod ;) yes quite common for the inner joint to be worn, they just unscrew once you move the gaitor

my arse just puckered :eek:

you should have a credit agreement that says how many payments will be taken

should have just posted a pic of something being cleaned ;) I think they're rimtastic

I've had that elsewhere with a couple of companies. Probably due to you not being due any return of premium if you cancel in the last 2-3 months, so they make sure you pay it all before then

is that off a BTCC/DTM car or similar?

streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch

I've done a couple VERY fast (not telling ;) ) but i normally go at it at a bit of a plod, take my time and make sure i'm happy with it. average about 4-4.5 hours. Space isn't a problem, I just remove everything, there's no point struggling and not being able to see.

2 hours is pretty optomistic IMO. i've done a mk2 1.2 16v (near enough the same job) in 4 hours. I do hate clutches on clios though and i'm not very quick with them

i think you're confusing the parts, there's a fairly chunky piece of aluminium that is part of the tensioner. you can get new pulleys to go on this, but a genuine tensioner kit includes everything

top quote seems VERY cheap, half of that is going to the parts. You can just move the box to one side without removing it from the bay so it's possible, but awkward. I wouldn't do it for that price though. 2nd quote seems more feasible
