more Renault dealer/RUK issues lol!! in my experience you have 2 options, either get yourself a good lawyer and go down that route, or forget it, put up with being treated like s**t and having a car that doesn't work properly and then sell it loosing a fortune.

when mine failed after 5 minutes @ 147mph, it was knocking like mad on the drive home of 10 miles

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra This has so much potential to become Epic, keep up the good work I look forward to seeing it progress!

my old dci130!

I financed 9k over 12 months to clear it. lets not litter the thread about it, it has its own thread!

haha its paid of in 2 months thank god, assuming a 3 month lead time would give me a month or 2 to stick a resonable deposit on one

anyone notice they cup racers are running brembos? Im thinking of biting the bullet and ordering one! really warming to it

Ill take you out in my 1.2 see if we can change that theory!! If you want more power buddy yoir going to need to go down the boost or engine conversion route

I noticed a massive difference in people moving out my way when i fitted hid's to my gt dci, was no longer a problem but they were in projectors so looked factory i always assumed it was because people assumed it was a rep mobile tanking down the outside

197 with r26 engine and box.... Now were talking.

Pm ak he works for ness motors, the dealers

same, white one was ok though, Arnold clark stirling were fitting a new subframe on it so will be fine!

who done the belts? done properly?

this is looking really good, the new wheels look brilliant at that ride height. colourcoded door handles, wing mirrors and your new rs spoiler will look good!

I see what you mean, the airbox is removable on this one its not part of the rocker cover just bolts onto it/inlet manifold cant remember years since ive worked on one. on the later engines the airbox is part of the engine cover and all comes off in one go EDIT: curious how much digging you...

Looks good dan, really like the early 197's with the silver wheels and brembos.

so your running one of these on an 02 plate car?!... rather than one of these which all cars before 04 plate should have...

There should only be 2 different engines. Pre pre 04 plate with grey engine cover and airbox with air feed to the right of the engine and then 04 onwords with black engine cover and airbox is part of that engine cover, air feed goes in at an angle near the middle of the engine. Then theres...

Mine went after about 30k hard miles, new ones transformed the car!

it was 2004 they changed them with the facelift, although there are 53 plate facelifts with the older engine! apparently the newer engine is better, I don't like either of them lol!!

They use a different inlet manifold, throttle body, rocker cover and im possitive a different ecu i recon you could be asking for trouble with that swap but itz worth a try while your there i suppose!

Itb is individual throttle bodys - awesome drivability and a nice power gain but bhp per £ not the best mod you can do especially when you need to fit cams to get the most out it. Turbocharge or supercharge would be my route :)

that's how my car takes roundabouts at 15mph with the £10 a tyre fitted part worns!

bit of a trek for you from Methil is it not?! i was working through there for a month just before xmas! i heard this had kicked back off again but wasn't sure how busy it would be so didn't bother going, how was it?

ohh this will be awesome! just when i see the yellow bits on it, that's not originally SL03 SOC is it?

i like the 1.2's!

awesome machine, my mate knows the Sitech guys well, they just built his forged EP3 engine, briefly met them a few times and they seem like a decent bunch of clued up dudes!! my mate's FRS runs just over the 400hp mark and im always surprized at how well it puts its power down.

Only worth keeping and tuning if it was a 1.5 dci

im with most of the guys in here, save a bit more for forced induction. if you are set on cams however, and they do give a nice gain in drivability and response, its just not for everyone spending that sort of money for that over pure horsepower. I would personally be considering one of the...

rather than removing the full acustic valve and blanking off the vacume hoses etc id just pull the air feed out the right hand side of the airbox that way you get the same noise and when you fancy a change and making it a bit quieter you can just connect it back up. Trophy seats have airbags...
