hi, do the police have the power to look up what mods are declaired on someones insurance, and if so what happens if they find out you have a mod that isnt declaired? does this apply to all mods, engine conversions?
basically trying to find out what would happen if you were pulled with an...
my tool kit isnt the best but probably up to the job, my mate had the box split from the engine when doing my clutch so he can always help too if i get stuck!
next job is the rocker cover gasket, anyone know how easy or hard these are to do on the 1.2 16v engine?
Andy your free to help if i go down the conversion route mate! more help the better
172 is out the question tho cheapest quote i can get fora 172 is £5,500 in my own name and i assume a kit car based on this engine wouldnt be any cheaper?
K4M isnt great but if im replacing the engine i fancy...
average......
lol na mate sounds awesome when u taking me a spin? need to get one for SL02 when it returns to the road in a couple of months, cant wait
seriously doubt it, ive got 2 mates with 1.6 escorts (well sorry 1.6 injection escorts, for some reason they always add the injection bit when talking about their cars lol) and my 1.2 16v starts to pull on both of them, and thats before we touch the corners.
im not saying a 1.4 16v clio is...
apparently they are all different, BUT all aftermarket exhausts are the same for all of them so i think cat back standard 1.6 16v exhaust will fit a 1,2 16v but not 100% on it
need to read up on engine conversion insurance because i really dont want a new car, looked all over the place and theres none that appeal to me, for the £6,000 im going to spend on a new car i could build and insure a monster of a 1.6 16v conversion
ive got a haynes manual for it
aye 1 end bolts to car other end bolts to box, the bolt onto teh car is fine its solid its the 1 onto the box thats fuked mate said with a lot of hastle we could probably sort it but likely it needs a new box and probably worth it since its crunching into 3rd a...
yep worth a try but sounds like a syncro, think my 3rd gear 1 is on its way out.
syncro matches the speed when changing to eliminate the need for double clutching as far as im aware which would explain why it doesnt do it when you match the revs
Halfords have one branded as Ripspeed but apparently they are rebadged Pioneers without the removable face, heard a couple of mates talking about wanting one but yet to have a playwith one so no sure if its any good but may be worth checking out
hope this helps
17s look to big on a clio in my opinion especially a mk1.
17s will give you a big hit on performance and it will handle like shite but if you dont care about this then yes it'll look bling
you say a standard rt tho, so i assume its not lowered? if not lower it first or it will look very VERY...
worn/fuked syncro in the box. best bet is to put a recon box in it or get yours rebuilt. not sure if you can just change the fuked syncro in the box or not, im not up on gearboxes
lol i do about 500 miles a week and thats just driving for the sake of it, my works only 2 miles away lol im at 130k now, well was untill my car fuked up on me tonight
maual sunroof is a c**t especially on a solid suspension set up lol rattles like fuk!
best thing is no sunroof but only on extreme 4/campus and 172/182's and extreme4/campus is nothing on a dynamique
will check it tomorrow, but everyone knows im talking about the lower gearbox dog bone mount here and not the mount under the battery?! im getting confused lol
you think there better but go nail both cars down the same backroad braking heavy and see which is better, new clio being heavyer with smaller brakes will likely fade quicker
brakes that put you thru the windscreen arnt always "good" brakes, brakes that put u thru the windscreen time and time...
millage isnt an issue really, mine is on 130k and sound (well appart from my little engine mount issue i had tonight but could have happened on any millage lol)
only thing been replaced on mine is clutch which is expected and coil pack along with the usuals like brakes, wheel bearings etc...
does the bolt go thru a hole into a bolt or does it screw into the gearbox, seems to me like it screws into the gearbox off the top of my head but too dark to check.
1.4 16v and 1.6 16v come with "sports" suspension but you wont noice a difference in my opinion, think they have thicker anti roll bars or at least 1.6 16v does, later 1.6 16v's 2003 53 plate (i think) onwords have rear disks same as 172/182
spec inside is the same as a 1.2 16v which is...
yep gearbox mount from a 172, different but similar apparently stronger, does look it, i bought it for powerflex bushes in it and never got round to fitting them, ended up fitting it with standard bushes
little black box that covers the ecu loom fell off ages ago how is this related? cheers mate
not sure if it makes any difference but it has a 2.0 16v 172 engine mount on it not the standard one
fred, whats needing done to sort it, know plenty people who would probably know what to do just too late to contact any of them tonight just want a bit of an idea!!
cheers mate,
might take that gearbox of yours if you still have it if its more hastle than its worth to fix
