    How crap is your traction control?

    never had a problem with the system in my ph2 during normal driving so i left it on, you never know whats round the corner and if your day dreaming and not expecting it to step out then its handy. when pushing on though its dangerous forgot it was on one day and came nailing round a long...

    Cleaned the 1.6 :)

    dont bother with the 172 wheels the ph2 dynamique wheels are mint and they drive/handle better on them too, set of decent grippy 195/50/15's and they handle awesome

    Air-Con - Isn't it great

    anyone ever see that program cant remember what it was called but they done a test to find out which used more fuel. from what i remember under 30mph you got better mpg with the windows down but over 30mph you were better with the A/C on. doesnt bother me that much really, i just want to be...

    2000 2/mk1 1.9D to 1.5TD?

    no wiring is completely different so you would need to use the full dci wiring loom, along with dci UCH and ph2 dashboard (need the ph2 door cards to fit that too) in all honesty unless the car has some significant sentimental value, its not justifyable at all!

    My Mk2 Ph1 Clio - Getting there lol!!

    i like it, colour is quite cool if a bit girly ;) personally i think it suits the 15's i wouldnt bother with 172 wheels, set of clear side repeaters would tidy it up as long as you got the genuine renault ones. the cheap ones look rubbish and of course the best mod you could do would be dual...

    Cup rear shocks?

    yes should always do them in pairs, on a performance car or anything other than a runabout! they get tired over time, so even though only one is leaking they wont be the same if you fit a brand new one on one side and leave the other on the other side

    2000 2/mk1 1.9D to 1.5TD?

    you mean a phase 1? this shape... doing the swap you would be doing ie basically just reshelling isnt really any harder than any other engine swap, however when your picking up a mk2 dynamique dci which is a better speced car for under £2k, is it really worth while?

    2000 2/mk1 1.9D to 1.5TD?

    just re read your thread title, its a year 2000 car? so MK2 not MK1? in that case then yes its slightly easier but still a pain, the 1.5 dci will fit on the same engine mounts. your best bet (obviously its much easier and cheaper to buy a dci however..) is to buy a crashed dci, swap the...

    2000 2/mk1 1.9D to 1.5TD?

    1.5 dci 100 remapped to 130bhp 200lb/ft wud be awesome in a mark 1 but sadly its not worth the hastle, and i mean it would be a mega hastle!, if you were to buy a doner car it would be easier but still a pain

    Does anyone here own...

    apparently you could get 3 door ones in other countries, they are mega mega rare in dci 100 form id probably snap one up if i saw one just for the rare factor although id have to do a few bits n pieces before i was happy with it!! they would be ideal for a euro project! you could get mk2 ph1...

    changing springs

    on 100k then deffo change the dampers too, i changed all 4 on my old ph2 172 when it had done about 45k/6yrs old for new genuine ones and it made a big difference! its worth getting the tracking done after any suspension changes (or even just a long period of time as bumpy road surfaces can...

    springs

    need to do them in pairs ideally, oe springs will be rubbish on these cars as they wont be designed to the same spec as the standard ones, if you dont want to pay for genuine then go eibach. you could go for cheaper springs all round but most offer a big drop with rubbish handling. apex are...

    panel filter for 1.2

    standard paper filters flow better than foam ones anyway apparently, its just that paper ones loose air flow over time quicker than aftermarket ones. personally id just wait till it needs serviced and stick one in, you wont notice any difference
