ive got access to a set of bike carbs for mine just not up for spending the money required on the bottom end, keeping in mind mate the plastic manifold doesnt matter when your running carbs. as they replace this
my mate has 4 750cc suzuki motorbike carbs on a 1600 8v nova fully lightened and ballanced with fast road cams, headwork, full exhaust system with manifold/decat etc thing revs to 9,000rpm and sounds mental
im at just over £3,000 now
dynamique interior, 15" wheels, dynamique spoiler, brakes, ice and the best mod Suspension were all worth it
16" wheels & k-tec relocated induction kit wernt, and are no longer fitted
reverse problem is common, mine does it at 130,000 miles and has done from brand new, so does my mums 2005 one, has done from new and is now at 70k so does 2 mates 1.2 16v's
put your car into 5th at 20mph and floor it and see if the revs climb but car stays at same speed (clutch slipping) or...
performance mods not really worth it unless u want to spend mega money much better with conversions, do suspension and brakes exhaust and induction for noise
there is 2 versions of the 1.2 16v D4F engine thats whats probably confusing you, the older 1 has the grey engine cover with "Renault...
need someone to do my turinis in white for me, im not keeping the turinis but thinking of white pro race 1.2s in 15" just need an idea how they'll look
because its a replica thats what replicas are about, if it had 16v, 1.4 16v or 1.6 16v badges on it, people would be able to tell if it was a replica or not which would mean the rest of the work wud have been a waste if thats what u wanted to build
ive only done rear bearings but i find it much much less hastle to just remove the hub and take it to a local garage with the bearings and get it done then take it home and put it all back together.
i get it done free at a mates garage but most garages will only take £5-£10 per side
i dont see the problem with 2.0 16v badges if your building a replica and you put them on once you have wheels, bumpers, wings, skirts, spoiler etc but dont see the point if its a standard clio with 2.0 16v badges to make it look "fast"
sounds mental, i dont think you should get it cut into the bumper, looks more like mental race system (As it was designed) when it sits the way it does now.
i want 1 of these exhausts when/if i do my conversion
get some mesh fencing, go to your local HKS dealer and buy a 200mm replacement airfilter and cut it to shape to make your own pannel filter.
crack the lid off the airbox (i actually mean crack it off, its bonded on!)
take an angle grinder and you will see the airbox is seperated into 2...
the way i was told it having high back pressure gives more low down power/torque but less high end power and having a big bore with low back pressure gives you less power down low but more power when your screaming at high revs
i wait untill the water temp is at normal, i only worry about lack of oil not lack of oil temp! as long as their is oil with a resonable heat in it it does the job for me
how can you get more power? start by taking them off lol.
seriously tho, as said above by mr bognor, the K&N 57i is an open filter which will suck in hot air and loose you power, especially in summer. most think they gain them power because of the noise but when they go back to standard...
custom catback exhaust with decat, k-tec 4-2-1 manifold, induction kit (not up on the induction kits for this engine so dont know whats best)
fast road cams, 2.0 16v F4R throttle body (not the 172 engine, the megane 2.0 engine i think it is, matt black knows the one you need if you phone him...
thats what makes these clios fast, because they are so light, ok 170bhp isn't exactly a lack of power but if you had some merc or bmw with 170bhp it would hardly be fast!
so if you make it even lighter then it will be rapid!
strip it, coilovers, uprated disks and pads, braided brake lines...
thinking of ordering a set of white pro race 1.2s in 15" next week with 4 yoko A539's anyone got any pics of them on a black car?
even in black so i can photoshop them, any size will do but prefer 15"
cheers
