whats everyones opinion on these new ph4 front ends they're using on the new campus sport models, also has a different back bumper but i didnt get a pic.
think it looks a bit gay, fronts not bad but rear isnt nice, reg plate is on back bumper and has smoothed boot!
hope the engines bassed on the D4F 16v engine so you can use the bits to build a turbo clio cheaply.
cool wee car tho as long as its as light or lighter than a mk2 clio id have one, full exhaust, decat, cam, remap etc it would fly lol
build a monster of a valver engine with lightened and ballanced megane bottom end cams etc maby even throttle bodys if you can afford it!!
172 lump would be much harder id have thought since i assume valver engine will go straight in?!
transplants woth the money if your cars not worth much and uve spent a lot on it and know what your doing to do all the work or most of it yourself.
if you shop about i bet you could get a 16v insured for less than a grand, and it will be worth it for the extra power
eco-tek valves are shite, make funny noises and make no difference.
of the shelf chip isnt brilliant, do all your mods then get a proper remap on a rolling road or live mapped on the road, much much better
also a K&N open filter will just suck in hot air and loose you power, you want a...
mine had it really bad before i passed my test last year when it only got used by my dad to get to work 5 minz away every day its fine now, take it a thrash down a backroad or the motorway or something and it will be fine
sounds like a bearing, £20 or so from GSF car parts each and £5/£10 per side for a garage to press them, free if you know anyone with a garage lol
on a 1.2 16v with drums on the rear you pop the centre cap bit off the drum, undo the bolt, pull the hub off and take it to a garage, have it...
i prefer just to take the exhaust off at the manifold, sounds much better and its free, infact sell the exhaust and you make money, should try it some time, not lol
laguna 2.0 one fits straight on as you said mate, same part just bigger intake bit, wont get full benefits untill a remap but should still make a difference!
oil and coolant arnt mixing so thats cool, rocker cover gasket is deffo leaking oil its all over the back of it but ill have another good look tomorrow, changed oil last month and its drank it all in 5k miles
ill pm you for that guide the now!
Got a video of mine doing 0-62mph in around 10.5 seconds, 14" steelys are exact same rolling radius as a 15" with 185/55 tyres, mine has 195/50 which is even smaller, but to be honest you wont notice a difference at all
so id say there would be nothing in it between mine and a good 1.6 escort...
thats the kit im getting on my car dont sl@g it ya knob!!!
na only kiddin lol aye Clio Super 1600 rally car replica kit
any good at fitting gearboxes mr gibson?
i wouldnt call it low ratio, its about average for its type of car really. could be doing with a lower ratio 4th and 5th but suppose its to save fuel etc its not a performance car lol
anyone done a rocker cover and/or head gasket on a 1.2 16v?
my rocker cover gaskets gone and needing done and thought i might as well do the head gasket while im at it since its on 130k and leaking both oil and coolant somewhere!
how hard/easy are both, if the head gaskets pretty hard ill...
you should be able to put a ph2 mount on it? my 1.2 16v never had the twisted mount, but i got a mk2 172 mount and it fits straight on, well did untill i hit a bump in the ground on a farm road and caught the mount and ripped it clean out teh gearbox, nasty
