Just out of interest.....why the **** do you put more pressure in the rear????? There is less weight there, you ahve a suitable pressure for the weight being put on that axle. By any chance do your rear tyres wear quicker int eh middle....becasue you are running too high a pressure. if you...

To be fair sounds as though they knew exacly what they were on about, you can't expect them to look at the car and say oh yes thats ****silver The paint code IS under the bonnet, on the oval plate, in a few rare cases its ion a sticker in the door shut, by the catch on the driver's side

Ahhh gotcha, High Carbon?

Different people run different pressures, i'm running about 30 on the fronts and 26 on the rear, its just experimenting wiht a pressure that suits your style of driving and the weight of your car, so you get even tyre wear

Why in god's name do you want to upgrade the discs and keep OE pads, pads prolly make the largest difference going :rolleyes:

What are the Brembo group N discs? If they aren't grooved then they aren't the Brembo max's, so i guess they are solid vented discs....but how do 'group N' differ to teh normal brembo ones?

Ben, any ideas about the F3P inlet manifold, i ahve one sat in my garage you can have a butchers at etc for ideas on work and cost if you haven't done one before. Will you bet at the WilliamsClio Donnington track day by any chance?

No worries. If you are really nice i'll take you round for a couple of laps ;)

So erm....what does this inlet mod do, and is it certain modal specific, or can it be done to any MPi Mk1 Clio

Chris H is a legend, from RSC/ Retro Renault, he knows just about anything about proper renaults. Presume its a mod on the mk1 clios, did he go inot any details?

All the springs SHOULD be the same on the base model clios. How won't it attach to the car. 16v springs will fit and iirc its about 20mm give or take lower, prolly a hihger pounbdage as well, to allow for the heavier engine

Well if the after market system doesn't fit properly it can be pushing/pulling the the downpipe and causing it to hit the cahssis. Have a look under the car anfd see how much clearence you have to the chassis (is thats what its actually hitting) and see if ther is a mark. Does the gear stick...

Odd that seeing as my 1.2 with solid discs had girling calipers

Kit???? You mean a junction box and a length of wire :S

Hummm.....let me think, you ahve a piece of metal that spins at god knows how many thousand RPM, that it subject to a massive clamping force, and then you go and remove metal from it. Its a well known fact that by grooving a disc you weaken it, and its also a well documented fact that during...

Did you have anything to do with modding that bonnet Fred? ;)

good luck

How can we help, you ahve told us what it is/could be.....would you liek us to fix it for you? If its since you got the exhaust on then if you think about it then i woudl say its the downpipe knocking on the chassis *rolls eyes* TBH you have answered your own...

Strip at the top of the door, just under the window, not quite sure how you managed to get it off? View up inside the door, shows there is **** all attached to the bottem of the window

Why ****ing tape it up? Just don't have the rain cather on there, i'm running my RSi wiht no rain catcher, and i ran my 1.2 wiht no rain catcher....absoloutly NO problems

Yes, i can go from 30-0 in about 2 mtrs, and i've done 3 track days on this set of pads and had no brake fade, and done about 10k miles as well as the track days and still got over half the pad left

*rolls eyes* Go for it, pay more money for something that is weaker and more expensive, but looks 'cool'

There is nothign on mk1 clios that clips onot the bottem of the window, apart from teh little plastic clip that attches the glas to the mechanism. Will be from the top of the door card, goes between teh door card and glass, hence why your window moves about

Screwfix, B&Q, any builders merchants or DIY store

Wouldn't hurt to give it a quick blast over wiht carb cleaner

Probabily, but if you attach this to the chassis and the the neg to the cahssis in the boot, then the chassis conducts, most of the instruments etc are earthed to the chassis rather then to the battery

LOL at harder pads warping the disc Discs warp if you sit wiht your foot ont eh brake, or put the hand brak on when the dsics are really hot, and then part of the disc gets hotter then others and cools down at a differnt speed, resulting in the disc wapring. Performance discs imo are a...

Change the water pump, always a wise thing while the cam belt is off. other thing you could do is de-glaze the bores, btu you need the proper tool (only about a tenner though), and its sorta hard to do it while the pistons are in. A really worth wile thing woudl be to rip the crank haft...

It is M10, but why buy that, use a length of threaded bar and a 32mm (IIRC) socket. Screw the bar into the torsion bar, and thread on in this order, socket, washer, bolt, tighten the bolt and it will pull the bar out into the void in the inside of the socket, much easier and less violent...

There is absoloutly NO point in runnign the negative through the car, its only connected to the car body anyways, just earth it in the boot. Run the pos through the hole in the bulkhead, by the fuse box and through the car, and make sure the battery is secure in the boot, or it will **** you...
