think a new standard mount is arround the £30-£35 mark? the polly bushes are £50 i think i payed, but thats just the bushes you still need the mount (not a problem on a 172, but for a 1.2 you need to buy the 172 mount too)

Toyota Aygo

i used to change my oil every 3k with fully synthetic millers in my 1.2 16v really recomend it, and if i could still afford to do it i would!

wouldnt bother with uprating all engine mounts, the vibration would be too anoying to live with on a road car tbh. replacing it with a standard mount anually is an option but even with a brand new mount i still didnt like it, although its an option if you dont want the vibration at idle...

Upstream oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) my old 1.2 done the same was murder when cold but when its warm its fine!

im not saying top mounts wont wear out quicker but its not like their going to fail overnight! plus they dont cost that much anyway so its worth it for the benefits of the more solid lower mount id say

i know their is mixed reviews and opinions on these due to the fact that they might put extra strain on the other mounts but after using one on my old 1.2 16v for 20k miles as soon as my 172 mount went i thought id get another set. so fitted them today and i still stand by the statement that...

spark plugs or coil pack? (does the 8v engine use a coil pack or is it a distributer?)

when you say it thumps do you mean the actuall engine is thumping about in the mounts or missfiring as if its running on 3 cylinders?

^i doubt it, i managed a 10.5 with no rear seats, no carpets, no door cards, no spare wheel or tool kit along with a decated stainless system , pannel filter and modified airbox with a huge cold air feed! rr @83bhp! woops alan posted before me, that was aimed at comment above his EDITL just...

changing to a 1.4 is the same hastle as doing a 2.0 conversion, uch, wiring etc so go for another engine the same or go the full way with 2.0 2004 clio 1.2 16v will be the newer revised engine with different ecu and inlet manifold etc so go for a pre 2004 engine.

set up your 1.2 properly and it will be all over a shitey 1.8 astra while being 10x more fun to drive at the same time!

it wont explode at 100 in 4th!

unless my tom tom is some how reading wrong it done it, used to do a baw hair over 120 indicated, was fairly standard running 83bhp @ the fly

mine used to do GPS 112 lol that was 120 indicated

mine done 0-80 in 17 seconds so maby about 25/30 secs?

something like that ^^

nice car mate, your 1.2 isnt that bad either tbh, ive seen much worse! diadems are the future!! ive got them in mine and had them on my last clio although most here dont agree with them lol

there is deffo a way around the problem lol.... its known as ignorance ;)

shes hot as f**k but never up for a play lol

you going to the RR day?

dont worry about what they think, i have a neighbour who hates me because "im turning the street into a scrap yard" in her words which in reality means that usually on my days off im changing suspension for someone or fitting an exhaust or something silly

not sure if you can hire them or not, cant see why not! we took my engine out without one then managed to get one for puting new one back in, it makes the job 20x easyer!!!! droped engine down and got 3 to LIFT the shell up over engine while 2 dragged it away haha

To be honest id only do a 2.0 16v if your going to the cost and bother then thats the best option, if not then just stick another 1.2 in it and sell it to buy a valver/rsi if thats what you want.

makes it a bit lighter but not by much, still id say 3 people to lift it! especially into a car we were just throwing my engine into a van not a car with trim etc!

i read that wrong and thought you wanted to do a rear engine conversion with the seats folded down lol it took 2 of us to lift a 1.2 16v into the back of a van, that wasnt easy! both of us not the strongest right enough, id say 3 strong to lift it if its got a gearbox on it.

nice actually looks like it suits that bonnet bra from that pic!

looks like a good road (if it was dry) anyone fancy a meet some time in spring time up that way?!

looks a great turn out wish i could have made it but i was working, should just meet in my works carpark its huge lol then i can pop out!! wish i had been to see Ali's VEE and that teg!, and the turini iceberg 172 to give myself ideas!!

i payed £40 for one a couple of years back
