Looks good dan, really like the early 197's with the silver wheels and brembos.

so your running one of these on an 02 plate car?!... rather than one of these which all cars before 04 plate should have...

There should only be 2 different engines. Pre pre 04 plate with grey engine cover and airbox with air feed to the right of the engine and then 04 onwords with black engine cover and airbox is part of that engine cover, air feed goes in at an angle near the middle of the engine. Then theres...

Mine went after about 30k hard miles, new ones transformed the car!

it was 2004 they changed them with the facelift, although there are 53 plate facelifts with the older engine! apparently the newer engine is better, I don't like either of them lol!!

They use a different inlet manifold, throttle body, rocker cover and im possitive a different ecu i recon you could be asking for trouble with that swap but itz worth a try while your there i suppose!

Itb is individual throttle bodys - awesome drivability and a nice power gain but bhp per £ not the best mod you can do especially when you need to fit cams to get the most out it. Turbocharge or supercharge would be my route :)

that's how my car takes roundabouts at 15mph with the £10 a tyre fitted part worns!

bit of a trek for you from Methil is it not?! i was working through there for a month just before xmas! i heard this had kicked back off again but wasn't sure how busy it would be so didn't bother going, how was it?

ohh this will be awesome! just when i see the yellow bits on it, that's not originally SL03 SOC is it?

i like the 1.2's!

awesome machine, my mate knows the Sitech guys well, they just built his forged EP3 engine, briefly met them a few times and they seem like a decent bunch of clued up dudes!! my mate's FRS runs just over the 400hp mark and im always surprized at how well it puts its power down.

Only worth keeping and tuning if it was a 1.5 dci

im with most of the guys in here, save a bit more for forced induction. if you are set on cams however, and they do give a nice gain in drivability and response, its just not for everyone spending that sort of money for that over pure horsepower. I would personally be considering one of the...

rather than removing the full acustic valve and blanking off the vacume hoses etc id just pull the air feed out the right hand side of the airbox that way you get the same noise and when you fancy a change and making it a bit quieter you can just connect it back up. Trophy seats have airbags...

I swear by Millers nanodrive but at £70 for 5 litres or there about it aint cheap!! be good to see some independent rolling road results to back up their power claims http://www.millersoils.co.uk/nanodrive.asp

the ST intercooler could have been fitted if I was willing to chop bits and piece off the bumper, inner grill etc which you wouldn't have noticed once the bumper was on but still not something I wanted to do so yeah it was a no go. Im not sure what I want to do to be honest about the...

read a few pages back!

Vinyl is going back on when new stuff arrives the pressure washer took a chunk out it lol Spacers will be ordered once my r888's are on the f1s and ill see what i think i need

A d4ft conversion will cost as much if not more than an f4r, personally if it waz me tho id have the d4ft over it, its a cracking way to have fun and do somthing different. Downpipe wouldny be an issue because you would just run twingo bits or spend 250 quid on a protoxide decat downpipe like...

yes they use the same 3 mounting points so changing isn't a problem, its electrical that stuff gets a bit different, easy enough if you have a doner car with everything to transplant, although obviously going tce you need to use a twingo as a doner car and would make life easier to swap the dash etc

I assume were talking 1.4 16v mk2 clio (Y plate to 2005 ish?) they handle very well out the box especially Dynamique models that get a stiffer setup than non dynamique models. 172 and 172 cup models run thicker and better design anti roll bar, everything else is uprated, springs, dampers...

all mk2 clios engines mount the same

in your opinion yes but read what that kayzee dude wrote, i wouldnt buy it as its 5 doors, not i wouldnt buy it as i dont like it

But no one had even saw it when they started shouting im not buying it renault are making a mistake. I dont think the car looks to bad but i dont think it looks spectacular but after seeing how much better a non rs looks in the flesh i cant wait to see this

It might have been clean, bet he wasnt.

I dont see what some peoples issue with 5 doors is? Surely if it looks good it doesnt matter if its got 10 doors?

my mk2 DCi100 would do 65mpg on the motorway no problem, my mk2 DCi65 would do 70mpg no problem and my MK3 DCi106 would do 60mpg no problem, and that was cruising at 80mph, overtaking etc not driving at truck speeds trying to see how high I could get the mpg, if I done that it would do 90's!! or...

I can see the F1, cup, trophysport, comeswithrecaros model getting a faster reacting gearbox if that's the case instantly devaluing all the early buyers cars! usual Renault stuff!
