Yep, and better than I thought price wise.

give people chance - it's the middle of the day on a Thursday, hardly peak traffic time is it?!

Not up on 197's i'm asuming!

Not great in my opinion. I'd have expected it to be better than that. How much did they charge? You'd have been better buying someones old one and having new flexi joints welded in place.

Worn suspension bushes would be my guess.

lol at 20bhp and 30lb/ft!

+15bhp from a remap on a 1.6 N/A engine? Who's said they can do that?

A decent exhaust place should be able to open the box and add more 'stuff' to make it quieter, or add a resonator of some sort to the system? THe standard cat probably won't make all that much difference I wouldn't have thought.

A quick iphone pic from a walk we did a couple of weeks back

Where's that The Russian.?

It's perfectly sensible thing to say if you think about it. The only way the OP is going to gain any significant power from that engine is going to be turbo/supercharger. Both of which are going to cost £3k+ to do and realistically going to acheive what maybe 180bhp? The logical thing to do...

Please don't turn into AJ!!

It's a 1.6 n/a engine, it's never going to be very powerful. I'd save your money and spend it either a) improving handling and braking b) buying a faster car. Anything else is just throwing money away.

Innocent until proven guilty remember guys! Just because he's been arrested for it, it doesn't mean he actually did anything wrong. Genuine accidents do happen! RIP to the one who died, I wish a speedy recovery for all others involved.

How much do you charge for something like that? PM me (or tell me to jog on) if you like. Cheers Chris

350 on the original turbo?

Don't scrimp on the respray! Thats all all I have to contribute!

i know mate, it's the same disc/pad/caliper setup. The calipers came off a broken ST! got them for £95 delivered so not too bad price wise

Afraid not. Well I've swapped them out for a new pair of brembo discs and instantly it feels better, I'll just have to wait and see if it returns. If so I've got a deeper issue but I've no clue what!

No money required as they don't need to be rebuilt. All they require is servicing. Strip the pins & pads out, clean and grease everything up put back together. 30-60mins per side and a small number of hand tools. Maybe £50 if you had to get them done at a garage, free if you do it yourself...

I highly doubt it has the bhp/torque that has been stated then as it should leave you for dust (unless he can't drive of course)

I've checked the temps, both are evenly warm. The calipers were checked before being bolted on, the pistons are free moving throughout the full range. Pads appear to be evenly worn (baring in mind they've only covers about 1,000 miles it's difficult to tell) and if I jack the car up they rotate...

Morning all, Not on a Clio, but the car's not really relevent. I upgraded the front calipers, discs and pads on my car a few weeks ago. The calipers are from a Focus ST and are used but in perfect condition, and I bought a brand new set of 320mm discs and accompanying pads from Eurocarparts...

He appears to have had a LY 200 stolen at some point, might not be the same one though, this could be his replacement if he didn't get the original back?

Which won't pass an MOT.......

PS3's for me (that's what i've just fitted to the T5) They cope with the bags of torque I throw at them no problem, Never letting go unless you intentionally make it.

I've a local shop to me that sells these at £1 each, i've got about 10 in the garage that I use on wheels, under the bonnet, dusting the interior etc. They'd even be ok on the paintowrk if you're not too into detailing (definately better than a sponge!)

You guys with the easibleed problems - you aren't using your car tyres to pressurise are you? If you are, have you reduced the pressure to <20psi first? I've used many of these kits and every one has selaed correctly unless excess pressure has been used.

Have they ever worked?

It might not have rear speakers fitted. I know some MK3's didn't
