switch has been making a funny clicking sound actually when im turning mate, not to worry got 2 spares lying about lol ill give them a go cheers

£1500 for a 3yr old expression, £800 for a smashed dynamique for the engine, wheels, spoiler, interior etc. for just over 2 grand i have a mint condition dynamique with 50k miles, brand new gearbox and clutch, feels much better than our newer 05 car with 70k and yep it is in mint condition...

dont like kitted clios but actually like that, wouldnt do it to mine right enough! but aye well done thats pretty smart

2.0 tubo volvo engines are HUGE! my mate has an old volvo estate with the 2.0 turbo running about 380bhp rear wheel drive. its that big you'd have problems rear mounting it in a clio lol (na not quite that big but wont fit under the bonnet, plus it sits a totally different way)

power cables N/S phono leads centre speaker wires O/S only moved it from boot to back floor so didnt have to pull any of the wires etc but could still happen i suppose. seatbelts wern't out so shouldnt be under the mount ill check the loom that runs up the side of the car, cheers any...

cheers mate, thats what i thought, would never sell it so dont really care but was just curious since its had so much work done and f**king about with new engines etc.

been playing about with this today, still not fixed keeps blowing the fuse. had the stereo and amp out to check wires and all seems fine. checked conections to the battery, fine checked all light bulbs i can think of, all is fine. any ideas?

aparently average life of a battery is 3yrs? mine died after 4/125k but had started dying after 3yrs. also the terminal conecting to the starter motor can come loose and cause it not to start.

saw a blue (yes it really was blue!) 172 cup parked in falkirk retail park tonight at about 12am, anyone from here?

This is a question im regularly asked by a lot of mates and i honestly dont know and just tell them its not worth selling! but if i was to sell it how much would i ask for? obviously id be better puting it back to standard but would like rough guesses for standard and modded prices. 2002...

^exactly lol, ill be deaf by the time im 21 with mine

cheers mate, moved the amp about recently! cheers!

look on the bright side probably a nicer place to be than the clio even if it doesnt have the power or the handling. remap it when your mrs isnt looking hehe is it a dynamique one?

embarrassing for him when he hit a corner lol you ever seen they turbo corsas trying to corner? my mates got one with about 300bhp on a straight scary isnt the word but on a corner my wee 1.2 eats it alive its hilarious lol.

are the bolt holes on the strut fixed or adjustable? if they are adjustable (sounds like it) then its needing set up and thats whats causing your rubbing. tracking should be out slightly but shouldnt make too much difference.

think its more after 110/115 when you need to go into 5th gear then yes it starts to take a while to climb.

its nothing to do with advancing time or VVT. 5k is the point when the cam timing starts working at its best. i know my mums 1.2 16v has a slight kick at 3k, but mine doesnt, (dont know if the newer 1.2 16v engines are twin cam compaired to the single cam ones before 2004?) only reason the F4R...

got a problem where my dashboard lights arn't working and my N/S rear light and sidelight doesnt work (N/S indicators and main beam/full beam work though!) ive found the fuse that its blowing when i put them on but ive tried changing the rear stop/tail lamp and sidelight as thats what caused...

get yer flaps out. bin the flaps with the girly clio writing, why not stick VTS badges on the side to go with your stick on 16v badges? you already have 16v badges on the bump strips whats the need for more? grill not really to my taste eather, cheese greater.

comon problem that would cause dash top to be removed would be dodgey trip computer on the dials (needs new dials), fused bulbs in the clock/radio display or an aftermarket stereo. on the more dodgey side of things, could have been clocked or smashed and airbag blew.

anyone know any technical details on this turbo engine yet? is it based on the D7F 16v engine? if so Matt black sell me an inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo please when you get one in stock lol

i thought about one myself when lastyear when i was 17 and started working full time. worked out it was going to cost me £600 a month for petrol and insurance compaired to my £200 for my 1.2, decided against it after a long think and decided a car isnt everything and id rather have my...

this wud be the same d/c ian hit the limiter in 5th gear in his 172 btw its more than possible, this wasnt indicated eather lol! didnt dare look at the speedo just keept glancing at the tom tom which was reading 119!

woops could a mod move to spotted please!

seen a load lately, passed a cup a couple of times coming back from cumbernauld on the D/C i was doing about 120 on the massive downhill bend passing loads of cars cant have missed me lol. also saw a silver 182 with no cup packs passing me in haggs. anyone from here?

passed a black dynamique with tints and angel eyes on the D/C coming into cumbernauld, anyone from here?

its all coming off for polly bushes anyway so will need setup again anyway in a month or 2. just had it done this time for now so it stoped eating tyres!

i drive both regularly, driving about town the 8v actually feels faster, try and take the 8v on the motorway and you may die lol i kept trying to drop it into 2nd on sliproads thinking i was in 4th but i was already in 2nd lol.

ive got black diamond drilled and grooved on mine, highly recomended. and yes they are 259mm for a 16v car

mine used to tripod on the apex, not sure if it does it with the coilovers not had anyone following me to find out.
