My girlfriend has a 1800 Mk1 Golf GTI Y-reg.......and believe me whan i say it is NO match for My Clio 16v...Handling/acceleration/Topspeed.
It just isnt as much fun to drive, very heavy feeling compared to the nible Clio.
Albeit a very nice, retro lookin reliable(ish) car, its 20yrs old and...
Ok first thing was my Gearbox starrted to whine like a B*****.
Now ive managed to blow up my engine completely! Think ive bent/Broken a valve amongst various other nasties...lots of horrible sounds coming from the engine bay.
So this is the perfect time to upgrade! My question is, can i just...
Hell be fine im sure of it, itll make him think twice about doin somethin like that again thats for sure!
I shouldnt think hell go to the police, after all he was nicking ur motor, hes a god damn car thief!

Mate i feel for u.....I really do.

Im sure ur girlfriend was just a bit freaked out by it all, shell be ok.

It was Dry and not Icy at all.
But ur right if i was on 2 wheels i might not be 2 daring at the mo!
The Dual carrigeway had a slight sweeping corner also so...
I still beat him tho! HeHe
I had a race with one of these today, was suprised to win as i thought the Aprillias were quite quick?
Was not sure whether to go for it really as its not often i take the bait but i decided to this time!. The bike followed me round a roundabout 1st. Let the guy come to overtake me. i kept in...
Ive been pulled, i think once in a year and a half of owning one.
I think 16v Clios have a discreet look to them, they are badged only as Renault Clio on the boot on most models and dont have much else.
Therefore dont really attract that much attention from the wrong places..which i like!

Also Maciek u say u have a 19 1.9TD box in your valver...how did u get around the problem of having no Speedo output?
If i could solve this prblem it might make my choice easier.
Thanx

Ok, I know the JB3 boxes from the valvers are quite a weak gearbox, but whats the difference between the JB3 and the JB5 and also how is the JC5 different.
Im not really wanting to play around trying to make things fit. I would ideally like a box that i can buy that will fit straight on.
If...
Thanx for that maciek,
Cleared up alot of uncertainty there,
It looks like most boxes will fit my car then, which is nice :D In light of this i will probably try and find a box from sumthing newer like a 172..etc to drop in, aslong as i can be sure that itll fit straight on?
Ideally id...
Thanx for the answers.

What i need to know is what Gearboxes are gonna fit my 16v, Last(important), have all the neccasary outputs(Speedo etc) and be realativley cheap to get hold of? Also...
Ok ive been told that a 19 TD Gearbox will fit my Valver and be a lot better than the standard JB3 box.
I reall yneed to know the ins and outs tho b4 i purchase.

Also will these boxes have have the output for my...
The HKS drag Skyline does it in in 8 seconds!

Thanx, ill look into it,
Id love a new williams box from Renault but i just dont think i have £550+ at the mo:(
Maybe ill hold out for a good 2nd Hand box, or the Megane box.
Thanx again

Thanx was thinking that way.
What are the codes id need to look out for to get the correct box?
Ive been told the original Williams Box = JC5 014 and the replacment item i.e recon box from RUK would be a JC5 S09..are they the same thing? and would either of these do?
Also have been offered...

Hi all,
Its time for a new gearbox, for my little 16v,
The box i have is a JB3 xxx and its on a 1993 16v.
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me which boxes would fit my car and what the Codes are?
Would the Willy box go straight on? i hear theyre a bit stronger?
Thanx
Si
