    Clio Lower Gearbox Mount.....

    the mount your car has is what my car had as standard (1.2 16v) the 172/182 mount is a twisted one. you simply remove your mount and bolt the twisted 172/182 one in place, its a straight swap. i recomend the k-tec uprated bushes though make a massive difference. James, k-tec dont sell an...

    1.2 vs dCi 65

    depends how much balls each driver has in bends. keep the 1.2 above 3,500-4000k in the bends and it would have the edge over the extra torque that the dci has to pull out bends. in my opinion i know for a fact mine could go round a twisty track pretty quick but its very well set up and no...
