    people just get more confidence when they get their springs changed to something stiffer, the pace i can hold in bends in my girlfriends standard 1.6 16v is nearly what i can do in the dci and thats just because she has cheap tyres and i have T1-R's all round. they handle well as standard they...

    Diesel Clio's, which are the good ones?

    nearly ;)... Authentique is the bottom of the range one, avoid that, dont even know if you can get a dci in that actually. Privelidge is a pretty low speced one too never really saw one up close to look at one. Expression has the electric mirrors, CD player after a certain year, wheeltrims...

    Replacing Clutch, time involved

    bad vibrations

    rubber mounts are there to absorb vibration, you have removed one and replaced it with something that doesnt absorb it as well, you will get more vibration at idle and when driving. better of just replacing them with a new genuine renault one every once in a while

    engine swop

    you cant afford to run it but you can afford the £3k+ bill to convert it? ill quite happily put a 2.0 16v in a non RS car for someone if they wanted me to but convert something to a dci, thats asking for trouble i wouldnt touch it!

    Modifications and their effect on a cars value?

    if your going to spend £££ in the first place on a car then yes its worth paying a bit more than average too get one already done if your into standard cars and find a minter, the perfect car then its worth getting it cheap as possible to buy the bits needed to get it back to standard

    engine convertion

    standard brakes arnt that bad. suspension again isnt to bad set of 2nd hand springs from a 172/182 and it would be fine untill you get around to doing the suspension properly
