lol lack of low down torque, u need a shot of my 1.2 16v the full car judders unless you launch it at 3,000rpm lol thats a lack of torque. it has the narrowest power band in the world, 4,000rpm till 5,500rpm!

i always put mine on when im driving fast and hammering it round roundabouts so i can be seen better! and people dont pull out infront of me. always thought it was the law that motorbikes had to have there lights on?

35mm springs will hardly even lower it, wont even be noticeable really. u find that with 35 or 40mm springs on non RS models, id only go 60mm you SERIOUSLY need to sort that exhaust thats a mess, sticks out far to much. raised, brought back and cut into bumper would be nicer. id get front...

yep one of the reasons i bought them since im never happy with how low/high my car sits lol

apparently power of a 1.4, torque of a 1.6 and MPG of a 1.2! if it was in a light MK2 shell it would be perfect, wont be to bad when revs get up in the mk3 tho. decent exhaust, filter, remap, suspension & brakes it would be quite quick.

there Silverline like mine (well mine are adjustable damping Silverline X ones) so they wont rust looks good, just low enough. id loose the vvt-i badges tho. like the new renaultsport badges

good stuff, ill need to get a set ordered :) is it possible to get your 1.2 16v big brake kit supplyed with these instead of the other pads (at extra cost of course!)

£130 - £170 depending on where its from id have thought?

the 1.8 16v/williams fitment is the same as 1200 16v calipers isnt it? my greenstuff's are needing changed.

theres a little gap on the underside of the button that you can fit a screwdriver up to slide it up the back of the button and then lever it off, easy. mine came off perfect but i still threw it in the bin haha

one of my top mounts is fucked and making a funny noise so going to replace both but looking on GSF they only have the Mk1 clio listed, i know they use the same setup as far as im aware so was wondering if they were the same part? also is there anything else worth changing while the coilovers...

if you read my original post you'll see im buying a 172, but i have my black dynamique sitting doing nothing as well as a supercharger sitting doing nothing and thought and still beleive it can be done cheaply, just not sure on the ecu side of things with these cars..

mine lasted to 115k when it got very stiff and a high biting point. then it started slipping and slipping and then by the time i managed to get a day off to change it, i had lost all drive lol. worth changing the cable at the same time.

Deffo Eagle F1s, best tyres ive used on mine.

why the fog lights when its sunny may i ask? silver grills look shite

have a look at andys black one with PH1 172 OZ F1 Cup wheels on it on coilovers, F1 Cups suit the MK2 Ph1 cars. if you cant afford coilovers put the -60mm apex kit on it, i loved mine.

ive got 2 1.2 16v engines actually lol 1 spare 1 fitted, but like i said im not wanting to spend much on this car just thought it would cost maby less than £500 to supercharge it (not inc mapping) just it seems like more hastle than its worth

so realisticly it would need standalone management? what about going back a step in time and ditching injection for a set of motorbike carbs?! dont want to spent any big ammount of money on this just fancy doing something stupid with the 1.2 engine since its a nice wee car thats lying about...

actually now that i think of it, this would need a new inlet manifold/throttle body as the standard manifold is shite and then cable throttle to go with it wouldnt it?

its easy on a 1.2 16v once uve done it once and get the nack of it! dont fancy trying it on a 172 due to the lack of room,

think the rrp for the clutch from renault is £60+vat fittings the expensive part, its not hard just time consuming and wouldnt bother trying it yourself if you have no or limited mechanical skill/tools.

managed to "aquire" a supercharger from a Cooper S and was just going to sell it but was thinking of supercharging my dynamique when i get my 172 next month as the dynamiques coming off the road. now as far as im aware i would need the following to make this possible... custom bracket to...

none, Goodyear Eagle F1's is my choice

no so sure on that 1 charlie i just got 70miles to just under half a tank lol

as i said they wern't needed but thats what it cost me for cheap thrills, that wernt so cheap

alot of it my chioice but a lot of it isnt, theres probably £1500 of stuff ive missed on that list 2002 12 16v - £1700 new engine - £150 new gearbox - £100 cambelt kit - £80 driveshaft - £100 gearbox oil - £25 oil changes every 5k miles for 25k miles @ £40 a go! 2 sets of spark plugs £cant...

yep i do, on my standard dynamique wheels, just waiting on my wheel spacers coming to get teh wheels on the car though!! ill hopefully get pics for you tomorrow or the next day!

i looked into it and knew everything involoved just didnt have the time to get it done which is what put me off, and needed car back asap for work so was a case of.. blew up thursday, engine out donnor car friday morning, engine out mine friday afternoon, new engine in mine friday night...

ive got a lightned and ballanced bottom end for mine and a reprofiled cam from my spare engine, just never got the time to fit it n give it a go. i knew it would make hardly any difference but i was bored/curious and had a spare engine and its cost me nothing really lol.
