no point bothering about power increases most of us have all been there done that if you dont want to LOOSE power then stick a pannel filter (£30) in the standard airbox and that'll free it up a bit but you wont get any power gains or extra noise if you want the noise then just go for teh...

no one here likes them i had 3 on my 1.2 and made a turbo out my mums old hairdryer, was quicker than my 172 actually,

Aux belt probably snapped and took cam belt with it, was it replaced when doing the pump?

i fitted 3 to my old 1.2 16v and gained 60bhp, if went like f**k with 140bhp trust me!!

downstream wont cause any running issues but will still throw up the emmisions light after time i think? upstream will cause issues, lumpy idle, flat spots when cold etc

yeah i did but was about 2 years ago and cant remember what the top bits looked like, must have been different as the standard renault ones dont fit, ive emailed MS World to see if they can supply them as looking at my old pics when the kit was brand new the rears came with bump stops etc too!

^ air con is an option

slightly but hardly noticeable

probably worth doing the clutch cable while your at it mate, i changed my clutch then done the cable a month later and what a difference it made to the pedal feel, much lighter!

They only cost about £30 for the 172 one (which fits the 1.2 16v) from renault, its probably worth paying that to get a brand new one instead of a worn one, especially when you've payed postage costs!

Fitting a second hand apex -60mm kit to a 1.2 16v dynamique for a mate and the front is done fine and the rear springs are done but the problem starts when it comes to the rear dampers!! The kit just came with the rear dampers, none of the rubber mounts on the top and it would appear that the...

Campus sport is just an Extreme 4, not a dynamique

nope they dont open they are sealed, stupid idea but its a renault thing lol

not really the 1.2 took more of a hammering than the 172 does. do it every 8 or 9k in the 172

new clutch from renault was £60+vat last time i ordered 1 for a 1.2 16v, its not really a hard job to change if you have the tools, if your paying labour then ben_p probably right with £300 ish

think a new standard mount is arround the £30-£35 mark? the polly bushes are £50 i think i payed, but thats just the bushes you still need the mount (not a problem on a 172, but for a 1.2 you need to buy the 172 mount too)

Toyota Aygo

i used to change my oil every 3k with fully synthetic millers in my 1.2 16v really recomend it, and if i could still afford to do it i would!

wouldnt bother with uprating all engine mounts, the vibration would be too anoying to live with on a road car tbh. replacing it with a standard mount anually is an option but even with a brand new mount i still didnt like it, although its an option if you dont want the vibration at idle...

Upstream oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) my old 1.2 done the same was murder when cold but when its warm its fine!

im not saying top mounts wont wear out quicker but its not like their going to fail overnight! plus they dont cost that much anyway so its worth it for the benefits of the more solid lower mount id say

i know their is mixed reviews and opinions on these due to the fact that they might put extra strain on the other mounts but after using one on my old 1.2 16v for 20k miles as soon as my 172 mount went i thought id get another set. so fitted them today and i still stand by the statement that...

spark plugs or coil pack? (does the 8v engine use a coil pack or is it a distributer?)

when you say it thumps do you mean the actuall engine is thumping about in the mounts or missfiring as if its running on 3 cylinders?

^i doubt it, i managed a 10.5 with no rear seats, no carpets, no door cards, no spare wheel or tool kit along with a decated stainless system , pannel filter and modified airbox with a huge cold air feed! rr @83bhp! woops alan posted before me, that was aimed at comment above his EDITL just...

changing to a 1.4 is the same hastle as doing a 2.0 conversion, uch, wiring etc so go for another engine the same or go the full way with 2.0 2004 clio 1.2 16v will be the newer revised engine with different ecu and inlet manifold etc so go for a pre 2004 engine.

set up your 1.2 properly and it will be all over a shitey 1.8 astra while being 10x more fun to drive at the same time!

it wont explode at 100 in 4th!

unless my tom tom is some how reading wrong it done it, used to do a baw hair over 120 indicated, was fairly standard running 83bhp @ the fly

mine used to do GPS 112 lol that was 120 indicated
