standard throttle body i dont think would be a restriction, dont see any need to go bigger.
Light weight flywheel, ive never tried one in the clio but i had a shot of an integra with one and it flew thru the revs, really recomended
if its straight id say its not that bad at that price, anything under is a bonus, say you need to do the cambelt and offer him £1500 take it from there
that would give you a fright if you tried to have a blast!!

Theirs a Skyline cuts about here with a TRD sun strip (toyota racing development for those who dont know) and a Ralliart badge on the back (the motorsport division of mitsibishi
my derv has a bigger power band than a 172/182 thanks to its Variable geometry turbo ;)
if my granddad was telling me to get an astra over a 182 id tell him to keep his fuckin money and buy a 172 myself.
yep sounds about right for your problem, from memory you can buy the ball joints seperate from the bottom arms (dont think you can on the RS cars though?!) i can imagine you would get the 2 for less than £20 (as with anything suspension related its best replacing them in pairs, 3 bolts hold them...
i have a mk2 dci 100 which is nearly the same engine, mine is remapped running 125bhp though, and at 60mpg on the motorway in 5th gear (i only have a 5 speed box) i average around 65mpg, obviously you have a 6 speed box but are carrying over 200kg more weight so that doesnt seem right. around...
fitted these today. not sure if i like them or not yet ill need to put more miles on them.
For £260 all round they are ok using a mild road spring like sportlines but they are a little soft so when really going for it they are a bit to soft, would DEFINATELY be no good for track work, however...
mate dont listen to the haters, as long as it makes you happy, even if you paid £10k for it. people on this place are their own worse enemy. i could probably sell my ph1 for £3000 privately but if i tried to sell it on here id be lucky to get £1800 lol at the end of the day its only a number...
yep that ARB is fine.
give the suspension a bounce up and down, when you bounce it down it should come straight up on the rebound and then settle and not keep moving. this isnt the "best" test you can do but it shows obvious issues.
you should also be able to feel any problems over bumps...
