standard 15s will make it worth more when it comes to selling if your selling it for your megane any time soon.
i dont have side skirts but im on 15s lowered 60mm and my mates is on 15s lowered about 75mm and its fine
they all have an anti roll bar fitted yep, reason no one uprates them is because no one actually makes an uprated one as far as im aware. powerflex do uprated anti roll bar bushes which help make it a bit more solid
hi, im wondering what the law is with harnesses on the road. i was told about a year back from someone who thot he knew it all that the police could do you for not wearing a seatbelt if you were only using harnesses and not using the factory fitted seat belt i didnt beleive this but just thought...
if they think you are soft enough to not argue they will charge you, if you tell them to fuk off and that your not paying, cause a big scene then you'll end up getting it free most of the time lol
its not the grip that bothers me, it grips better than it does on 15s just the roads arround here are crap and the steering gets really light and pulls its self over the road when you hit bumps on the 16s
cheers giles mate
as for everyone else, the thing handles like a bus with 16s on it not had them on the car in ages, already had 2 offers for them.
its going on 15" pro race 1.2s and going much, MUCH lower lol
best bet is to buy yourself a new engine mate, doesnt need to run as long as its an engine, rebuild it yourself if you have the tools and some basic knowledge theres no point in paying to get anything done to the 1.2 16v engines as labour kills you, but doing it yourself its pretty cheap-ish to...
not much you can really do for more torque, you will have the new style engine with a couple of nissan bits on it with the revised induction system, throttle body and ECU decat and exhaust will help a bit but not much, not worth modding a 1.2 engine wise for power, noise its worth it but not...
ive got access to a set of bike carbs for mine just not up for spending the money required on the bottom end, keeping in mind mate the plastic manifold doesnt matter when your running carbs. as they replace this
my mate has 4 750cc suzuki motorbike carbs on a 1600 8v nova fully lightened and ballanced with fast road cams, headwork, full exhaust system with manifold/decat etc thing revs to 9,000rpm and sounds mental
im at just over £3,000 now
dynamique interior, 15" wheels, dynamique spoiler, brakes, ice and the best mod Suspension were all worth it
16" wheels & k-tec relocated induction kit wernt, and are no longer fitted
reverse problem is common, mine does it at 130,000 miles and has done from brand new, so does my mums 2005 one, has done from new and is now at 70k so does 2 mates 1.2 16v's
put your car into 5th at 20mph and floor it and see if the revs climb but car stays at same speed (clutch slipping) or...
performance mods not really worth it unless u want to spend mega money much better with conversions, do suspension and brakes exhaust and induction for noise
there is 2 versions of the 1.2 16v D4F engine thats whats probably confusing you, the older 1 has the grey engine cover with "Renault...
need someone to do my turinis in white for me, im not keeping the turinis but thinking of white pro race 1.2s in 15" just need an idea how they'll look
because its a replica thats what replicas are about, if it had 16v, 1.4 16v or 1.6 16v badges on it, people would be able to tell if it was a replica or not which would mean the rest of the work wud have been a waste if thats what u wanted to build
ive only done rear bearings but i find it much much less hastle to just remove the hub and take it to a local garage with the bearings and get it done then take it home and put it all back together.
i get it done free at a mates garage but most garages will only take £5-£10 per side
i dont see the problem with 2.0 16v badges if your building a replica and you put them on once you have wheels, bumpers, wings, skirts, spoiler etc but dont see the point if its a standard clio with 2.0 16v badges to make it look "fast"
