haha thats brilliant saxos are made of tin wouldnt have hurt him if it rolled over him lol my mate rolled one and it only took 3 of us about 5 seconds to get it back on its wheels!
my engines millage stoped getting any higher yesterday, another one bites the dust!
on the bright side its getting dropped out the car tomorrow when ive got time and phoning matt black for my new 1.6 16v :)
Apex do coilovers aswell tho.
nothing wrong with apex, never tried their coilovers but got a set of dampers and springs on mine and there more than upto the job, we'll see how they do with the weight of the new engine.
got a mate with a starlet gtt with TRD springs, KYB shocks and Whiteline...
clips snapped, common problem ive had to fix loads, i tried superglue and it worked for a bit but then came off again, what i do now is...
you will see at the back of the gaitor at the bottom plastic bit (bit closest to back of the car) there is a little rectangle plastic bit sticking down...
worth changing the cable, i changed my clutch and it got twice as light as it previously was, then when i changed the cable it once again got twice as light, its brilliant now never driven a clio with a clutch as light as mine!
was only about £30 for the cable i think
wouldnt think anymore than £20 for fitting, its £30 i think for a new one i snapped mine only took 5 mins to fit but the engine was out at the time so that kinda helped, took me about 15 mins to do a mates with the engine in, bit of poking and fiddling about!
looking at a 1.6 16v clio with climate and xenons 350 miles away in a renault dealership, can local dealers source cars from other dealers and get this brought down here for me? or does it not work like that lol?
cheers
I see what you mean about the back looking funny. mine used to be like that.
you need......
Dynamique Spoiler
Silvervision indicator bulbs
clean reg plates with no screws or advertising! (www.fancyplates.com)
even 6bhp is probably unlikely, well on a standard engine which i assume is what superchips are talking about.
with the mods you said above and a REMAP instead of a chip you may be looking at 120bhp 125bhp if your lucky, with a filter and inlet manifold work from BenR
ah right, would have been coming home from work i think, work at Somerfield just up the road from there
john, what were you doing down this neck of the woods?! not surprized you didnt see me, its currently sitting in my garage with a blown downpipe and no petrol, cant wait till i get payed...
was only going to do it if it was a straight swap with no need to change ecu or uch but not going to bother if its hastle, as thats the reason im not doing the 1.6 conversion i was talking about for now as i dont have time and cant afford my car off the road for any longer than a weekend!
Supersprint do a stainless steel manifold, front section (decat), centre section and decat.
you can get it from www.motorsportworld.co.uk think its about £650 for the full system (engine back!)
get the full exhaust system mentioned above, eather go for a pannel filter or something more fancy...
optional extras to look out for are Xenon front lights, you can tell it has them by actually looking at the bulb to see if its one of the big round ones (sure someone has a pic they could show you) or by the fact that it will have headlight washers.
Climate control i think was a £800 extra or...
aye veryeasy job, surround is just a couple of clips and its off and swap it over (the surround is part of the plastic see thru coverover the front of the dials so full thing comes off) needles were a bit harder but not hard, just stick a screwdriver under them and pop them off.
first pic was taken 2 or 3 months ago, 2nd pic was today so thats why millage is different.
HAS, not a base model but an Expression so kinda in between!
fitted these at 2:20am thismorning because i couldnt sleep lol.
got a set of dynamique dials from ebay with 11,000 miles on them, swapped the silver surround and red needles on them with my boring black surround and white needles and it makes a big difference, still not sure if i should go...
