why did i open this, i cant afford to change wheels again lol looks mint mate, go quite well i assume?

yep twingos happening, the 1.2 turbo engine is coming to the clio too dont know if they mean the new MK3 or MK2 Clio Campus tho. twingo will come with 3 engines... 1.2 16v 75bhp 1.2 16v T 100bhp 1.4 16v 98bhp dont see the point in the 1.4 being in the lineup tho having the same power as...

came out work yesterday to find some wee ***** had eather kicked my wing mirror or hit it with a car/door. was pretty windy so think someones door must have caught the wind but still no excuse for not reporting it. the glass was hanging out dangling by the wires so i pushed it back in and it...

I had 16" Turinis from a cup on mine for a week then took them off coz it handled pish compaired to on 15s, went back to 16s a couple of times but kept going back to my 172 style ph3 15"s, got shot of them tho for a set of ph2 dynamique wheels as i think they suit the car better

yep both from scotland, lad with the gold one speaks to me on msn hes a renault mechanic, supplys and fits airbags done them himself. modified them so they go lower etc. its a project car going on 19s with a kit etc although personally id keep it standard looking and have it mega low as i...

thats only for factory fitted cars though its not illegal to fit a set of xeonons to your car without auto level or washers, even although the car they came standard with must have them by law

lol u got a link to that mate id like to see it, i assume the guy recons it gives him 197bhp? lol and what he really means is he has a superchip

i had to hacksaw mine off, but replaced one before where it just twisted there all different. word of advice tho i wouldnt bother touching it unless your replacing with a genuine renault one such as a leather 172/182 one as the aftermarket ones tend not to fit properly, nothing better than a...

Direct Line gave me 20% off with it (£300 a year) you can only use it if your on your own policy tho so only worth doing it if your going in your own name

do all RSi's have Phase 2 boot locks or have you added that yourself giles?

while were on the subject...

it sounds better than yours, deal with it.

bushes only tak 2 minz to get out, just stick a socket on top of them and hit them with a hammer a couple of times to get them out. i recomend the Powerflex/K-Tec uprated polly ones :)

so is it going to be a turbo F4R using the bits from the megane engine but with a 172 5 speed box?

last time i heard that my CV joint had gone, all the roller pins went into gearbox, locked the gearbox up which juddered it and snapped the mount fuking the threads in the gearbox that it screws into which then burst the exhaust...

nice one mate will be good to see it back on the road again!, what you doing suspension wise since your 1.2 coilovers are for non RS cars? standard suspension since its been supplyed with kit? if so, price for old suspension?! ;)

yep then its a 172 mount you have mate, 1.2-1.6 16v one is a black weak looking thing lol. and yeah deffo worth it mate do it! old bushes just chapped out in 30 seconds by sitting a socket on them and chaping them out with a hammer.

bmh.01, bushes came from k-tec. i had fitted the 172 mount with standard bushes and it was better than my old mount with fuked bushes but still not brilliant, it feels much better with the new ones with no movement. you drop a gear and floor it and it pulls instantly instead of a bit of...

Is it an OMP one?

high millage ones tend to be noticeably better than new ones. sort out the suspension, powerflex bushes all round, better brakes and good tyres and they are brilliant fun and will out handle a 172 down a backroad which makes them very very fun cars to drive, obviously the same goes for a 1.4...

b******s never gave me a diagram for mine, was half an hour playing about yesterday trying to fit it, got there in the end tho lol

sorry smart arse but 1149 doesnt roll off the tongue too easy when your talking, so ill round it up just like renault do thanks.. it doesnt have a lot of power but i can assure you that with a couple of mods and still with the standard power its much more fun to drive than a 172, as im sure...

Thank you very much mate thats just the info i was looking for ill sort it out tomorrow! :)

I always say that my Apex -60mm Suspension kit was the best mod ive ever done to my car, and although i like every mod ive done today i fitted Powerflex/K-Tec Uprated polly Gearbox bushes/inserts to a 2.0 16v 172 gearbox mount and fitted it to my 1.2 16v. its amazing how much this simple (but...

to be honest tho my wee 1200 because of its handling has just enough power for me to have plenty fun, more power would be a bonus but on a backroad you dont really need much more than 100bhp if the car handles and is nice and light

so i need to drop the subframe again or is there a way to remove the steering colum and get it back on straight?

sorry if this is a silly question but doesnt that mean im going to have a bigger steering lock one way than the other if they adjust the track rods because the actuall steering rack wont be centred when the wheel is?

right cheers mate ill get it sorted tomorrow

so somewhere that does tracking could sort this out for me?

so fitting this would give me 110bhp? haha i wish
