yep i know the Super1600 cars have ITB's and cams but i mean road car that doesnt have a £10,000 engine lol fred recon'd that the 1.2 box would be fine with a 1.6 and even said he wanted to put one on his 2.0, but not sure. whats your thoughts?

aftermarket stuffs better and more suited to the car anyway

cheers for all the info edde. no worries about the 1.2 gearbox it only went on the car last month and had only done 8k miles at the time. (only reason im doing this is to save money since its a new box anyway, plus should make it slightly quicker although ratios arnt that different on them)...

hi, phoning up matt black in january to order my 1.6 16v conversion kit and just got a couple of last questions about it. so far im getting 1.6 16v with everything needed, (but using a 1.2 16v gearbox) i also want to get the 2.0 F4R throttle body that fits the engine the kit comes with ecu...

i phoned to try and get insured on a 182 and got quoted £4,500 from adrian flux @ 17 with 0ncb on my own policy

exactly as russ said ^^ but not 15s or 16s, just 15s hehe ;)

likely has had 12k spent on engine mods, not worth it tho

convert it :)

FK Konigsports (as low as i can get them to go without rubbing) ph3 1.6 16v/172/182 rear beam with disks rebuilt 1.6 16v engine lightned and ballanced, cams, headwork, manifold, decat. paired with 1.2 16v gearbox

cheers mate, will give it a go, i fancy rear disks anyway depending on what engine im going for next still cant decide between 1.6 and 2.0 (2.0 is going to need new brakes and coilovers which is more expense but probably worth it

17's are for girls scared to go round corners fast so you get to F C U K ;)

to be fair i think its about having a nice car over anything else? nothing to do with age, money etc?

my rear drums/shoes are gone lol its that much hastle to get shoes for it because you get 3 different kinds or some shite, renault want £80 for just shoes and local motorfactors cant tell what ones i have ?!?!? so on the lookout for a ph3 1.6 or 172/182 rear beam now for rear disks.

ive got the gearbox mount bushes and recommend them as one of the best mods ive done after suspension. no movement in my gearstick anymore and you cant feel the engine moving when you give it full throttle now, it just instantly goes. used to be a tiny delay as the engine swung back. ive got...

i didnt find greenstuffs that great on standard disks but work very very well on the drilled and grooved black diamond fast road disks ive got

very dangerous, it could pop off in an impact and your harnesses would do nothing for you, or as said if the brace gets pulled back it pulls the harnesses with it and crushes you!

its not a **** lol, slags cant get over speedbumps ;)

i usually use 33 all round

132,000 miles and it still loves the limiter daily.... lol your woried about your engine?!?!?! mine wouldnt let me go over 3,000 revs and took 4 hours to get to 30mph yesterday all day with the engine management light on, wiggled a couple of wires about today and all is well lol

thats just clutch abuse lol i can make mine do that but i dont since wheelspin when launching it from junctions etc has cost me a gearbox before, be careful!

looks good mate, get the fuel rail cover or what ever its called polished up like they do on the 2.0 16v's will look much better! could also get the engine mount done if you could be bothered lol

sounds like when my brake caliper was sticking, do you get more brake dust on one side compaired to the other front wheel? remove the 2 caliper bolts (well 1 will do just loosen the other) and then clean and lubricate the sliders. then press the brake pedal to the floor (it will go right the...

out of 8 of my mates who are all 17 and 18 everyone of us has a car, 5 of us saved up bought and insured our cars ourselfs. the other 3 have all been given or bought a car. only 3 of them have had a crash, and guess what 3 it is?!! yep the 3 that got the cars from mummy and daddy

when it looked its best.... how it looks now..

i done mine myself well with the help of a mate took us about 4 or 5 hours i think cant remember exactly. was a lot easyer than i thought it would be! be sure to change the clutch cable while your at it, i thought my new clutch was nice and springy and light untill i changed the cable now its...

yep sounds like the clutch is slipping, weird at that millage tho! has the bite point got pretty high? mine was mega fun when it was slipping nail it from a standing start and it didnt go anywhere lol

my battery went on my 2002 1.2 16v 3 days ago! £60 for some fancy Calcium thing from halfords and all is good again lol couldnt beleive the difference it made to my tunes actually lol kicks out much more bass now and goes much louder before it starts to distort (no more taking the piss out my...

you sure its deffo the clutch, mine lasted untill 115k and all the high millage ones ive saw are still on factory clutch. you sure its not just a clutch cable or something silly or has the box went and covered the clutch in oil?

just remember its only nuts and bolts, nothing can go "wrong" that cant be fixed easy if you get stuck come on here and ask and you will get plenty help

looks like its the 1.2 box im using then. what else can be used on this engine from bigger engines apart from the 2.0 16v throttle body, if anything else?
