been looking at getting a 1.6 16v as a 2nd car so i can start my 2.0 conversion on mine but not sure.
£5,000 or what ever its going to cost for a 1.6 is a lot of money for the 30bhp jump, and when you consider extra weight im not so sure its worth it, considering mine is a "special" one :)
its not stupid if they can trust you, im 17 and i doubt id kill myself in a 172 because i know my limits and am not that stupid to push a car past my limits!
dont know anything about teh 180s but after a recent encounter with a 138bhp model in my car the chassis doesnt seem up to much! (maby the guy was just scared to push it)
on the other hand, not many small cars that handle like a lowered clio or renaultsport clio
hi will the light/indicator stalk from a ph1 172 fit a 2002 MK2 PH2 1.2 16v?
as far as im aware they are the same but wasnt sure, i need one with the front fog feature and seen one for sale
cheers
was thinking of a smart reply for this thread but thought id be helpfull instead hehe
the idea with electric superchargers is there, in theory they should work BUT they dont shift enough air, you would maby notice a slight difference but nothing that would make it worth doing at all.
one of mine completely steams up but thats because i dont have an arch liner in one side so all the water gets thrown up (really must get one!) but yeah both mine used to get a bit in winter before my wheel ate the arch liner
getting 4 new yoko A539's and everyone had told me to get 195/50/15 but ive noticed i can get them in 195/45/15 (they cost quite a bit more tho!)
ignoring cost tho is it worth the extra money, from a handling point of view, thats all i care about i dont bother about ride quality or noise...
not sure about the other engines but the megane 225 engines are 225bhp but the gearboxes are massive, and thats only the start of the problems!
im sure ive heard the renault 21 engine is also to big for the clio, and assume is probably true since no 1 seems to do it!
