its not worth buying a 65 if you want the power, its too much hastle to convert, to go to 80 spec you need the intercooler (£100 mark if you can find one, thats IF!) turbos are fairly similar, you could get away with running your standard 65 one, but you would need 80 injectors (80 and 100 run...
you will never get the answer your looking for on here buddy, if you can afford it then id take a test drive see what you think, ive never driven a 200 but they are the "next step up" from a 197, going from driving a standard 172 vs a standard 182 ff, i personally felt they were an upgrade that...
buying new doesnt work out worth whilte, lets all buy a £1000 williams and keep the £14000 for anything that breaks. - no thanks.
brand new all the way, my current runabout is my first ever brand new car and ill be replacing it yearly now with another new one, i love the hastle free, piece of...
not bad, i was offered same spec car but in white with white speedlines, full leather, 10k on the clock 1yr old for £20,000 YES TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS! and not even a bargaining was offered when i laughed at the price, i was ready to put a deposit down on the thing that day if it was a good price!
everything will need to be custom really nothing out there for these smaller engines (for good reason i suppose) standard cam reprofiled will probably be the best bet
yeah pretty much a 200 version of the R27 i think, comes loaded with options and some stickers, think it saves you cash if you were planning on speccing up a 200 in the first place though
on a 172 they dont come thru the boot floor, im pretty sure they are threaded into the beam above the mount, sounds like one has snapped in the past (pretty common) and been drilled out and re fitted with a nut and bolt, you should be able to feel if its got a bolt on it?
in my experiance it depends how you like your car to drive.
they wont die, as in mot failure die that much quicker however after 2 months max they will be handling like a bag of shite. RS cars are fine but non RS shocks cant handle it, thats what ive found when fitting sportlines to 3 non RS...
surely the 1.4 and 1.6 run the same exhaust since they are basically the same engine?
not sure on the above but a 1.6 exhaust wont be a direct fit, they are different, if you really want you could make it though
like the factory option wheels! suit it nicely!
will look good with front fogs, i used to have an expression and got carried away and convereted it to a dynamique with EVERY little fine detail of spec!, dashboard, full interior etc etc cost me about £2k to do haha!
it wouldnt be exciting at all but it would fit, be resonably light, infact i beleive its an all aluminium engine? it was designed to be light, would make for a 172 pace, torquey, daily driver but as i said it would cost at least £3000 id recon, which is just not financially viable!
the standard chrome look is much better, going back a few years we all thought it was cool to do it, and when i look back at my pictures it makes me cringe.
less is more!
i know, im mr DCi but imo a megane 175 engine in a clio is silly! lol! would make a cool motorway cruiser but still! you would have to use a 5 speed box!
if you had plenty money maby a remapped 1.6 dci 130 with 160 odd hp would be cool!
my old 188bhp Iceberg and Aldo from here's EK9. this day was the best drive ive ever had in a car in my life, was a brilliant sunny day and we were proper pushing on down some of scotlands best roads!
it would handle like a pile of shite.
economy wouldnt be that great to be honest.
no revs would be boring and even with a map running over 200hp and 400lbft of torque it wouldnt be much quicker than a 2.0 16v F4R one!
an F4Rt would be a much cheaper and better option.
im all for doing...
