yep john back to my dynamique wheels with 4 new Eagle F1 GSD3's 195/45/15
turinis i sold for £200 due to shite tyres (ok tread but shite grip lol) and them not being in the best nick due to a previous owner or someone refubing them quite cheap. still look good tho and a bargain.
sold to...
turinis are sold, just waiting on my wheel spacers coming to get my 15s back on. so heres 1 last pic to wave good buy to them!! look good just dont like 16s!
on the 1.2 16v (i assume thats what you have going by your profile) you simply unbolt the 2 bolts holding the airbox on, lift it off and replace the standard paper air filter with the new panel filter, easy only takes 2 minutes.
different front bumper
15" version of the Mk2 172 alloys
colourcoded rear spoiler
different dials with digital screen for fuel and temp guages
new engine (different inlet manifold, ecu, throttle body) (bit quicker, more torque, less responsive) also has a different cat (doesnt have a flexi to...
1.4 and 1.6 are basically the same engine (apart from the obvious difference lol) so generally any reliability issues or common faults are the same on both cars, so if your thinking about a 1.4 16v i wouldnt bother, just go for the 1.6 16v.
it may only seem like 10bhp difference but the extra...
that guide makes it sound so easy lol, which it is when everythings fine and not seized.
first one i done was a 106 and was fine, last week i done a saxo, NEVER AGAIN lol
mine snapped last month, was no piston damage just bent valves. i payed £200 for another 1.2 16v engine with 50k on the clock (compaired to mine with 140k lol) belt snapped wednesday, i took engine out other car on the thursday night, mine out friday night and new one in on the satarday.
after driving my mum standard 1.2 dynamique tonight i realised that...
its faster than mine (my new engine is pish compaired to old one,wish i hadnt blew it up)
my exhausts going to make me go deaf by the time im 21
my dampers are set too hard
the 16s tramline like f**k (still waiting on wheel...
initial has higher spec but not the looks.
dynamique is from the sport range, comes with the sports seats, 15" wheels, spoiler, front fogs, trip computer etc etc
good little cars, handle well standard, lack power but for your average person they are fine.
its not half done its fully converted apart from the annoying auto wipers that cant be turned off, isnt that a good thing?
if i wanted i could change my paper work to dynamique but that doesnt bother me, i didnt do it so i could sell it as a dynamique i done it because i liked the looks.
my...
ok guys tried one of my other steering wheel light stalks/switches and same problem and i know that one works so its not that.
its a pioneer 5 channel amp, cant remember the power output but i think the sub channel is 150watts RMS (amp says 1000watts max power but i dont beleive in this max...
£1500 for a 3yr old expression, £800 for a smashed dynamique for the engine, wheels, spoiler, interior etc. for just over 2 grand i have a mint condition dynamique with 50k miles, brand new gearbox and clutch, feels much better than our newer 05 car with 70k
and yep it is in mint condition...
2.0 tubo volvo engines are HUGE! my mate has an old volvo estate with the 2.0 turbo running about 380bhp rear wheel drive. its that big you'd have problems rear mounting it in a clio lol (na not quite that big but wont fit under the bonnet, plus it sits a totally different way)
power cables N/S
phono leads centre
speaker wires O/S
only moved it from boot to back floor so didnt have to pull any of the wires etc but could still happen i suppose.
seatbelts wern't out so shouldnt be under the mount
ill check the loom that runs up the side of the car, cheers
any...
cheers mate, thats what i thought, would never sell it so dont really care but was just curious since its had so much work done and f**king about with new engines etc.
been playing about with this today, still not fixed keeps blowing the fuse.
had the stereo and amp out to check wires and all seems fine.
checked conections to the battery, fine
checked all light bulbs i can think of, all is fine.
any ideas?
aparently average life of a battery is 3yrs? mine died after 4/125k but had started dying after 3yrs.
also the terminal conecting to the starter motor can come loose and cause it not to start.
This is a question im regularly asked by a lot of mates and i honestly dont know and just tell them its not worth selling! but if i was to sell it how much would i ask for? obviously id be better puting it back to standard but would like rough guesses for standard and modded prices.
2002...
look on the bright side probably a nicer place to be than the clio even if it doesnt have the power or the handling.
remap it when your mrs isnt looking hehe
is it a dynamique one?
embarrassing for him when he hit a corner lol you ever seen they turbo corsas trying to corner? my mates got one with about 300bhp on a straight scary isnt the word but on a corner my wee 1.2 eats it alive its hilarious lol.
are the bolt holes on the strut fixed or adjustable? if they are adjustable (sounds like it) then its needing set up and thats whats causing your rubbing.
tracking should be out slightly but shouldnt make too much difference.
