Fitting a second hand apex -60mm kit to a 1.2 16v dynamique for a mate and the front is done fine and the rear springs are done but the problem starts when it comes to the rear dampers!! The kit just came with the rear dampers, none of the rubber mounts on the top and it would appear that the...

Campus sport is just an Extreme 4, not a dynamique

nope they dont open they are sealed, stupid idea but its a renault thing lol

not really the 1.2 took more of a hammering than the 172 does. do it every 8 or 9k in the 172

new clutch from renault was £60+vat last time i ordered 1 for a 1.2 16v, its not really a hard job to change if you have the tools, if your paying labour then ben_p probably right with £300 ish

think a new standard mount is arround the £30-£35 mark? the polly bushes are £50 i think i payed, but thats just the bushes you still need the mount (not a problem on a 172, but for a 1.2 you need to buy the 172 mount too)

Toyota Aygo

i used to change my oil every 3k with fully synthetic millers in my 1.2 16v really recomend it, and if i could still afford to do it i would!

wouldnt bother with uprating all engine mounts, the vibration would be too anoying to live with on a road car tbh. replacing it with a standard mount anually is an option but even with a brand new mount i still didnt like it, although its an option if you dont want the vibration at idle...

Upstream oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) my old 1.2 done the same was murder when cold but when its warm its fine!

im not saying top mounts wont wear out quicker but its not like their going to fail overnight! plus they dont cost that much anyway so its worth it for the benefits of the more solid lower mount id say

i know their is mixed reviews and opinions on these due to the fact that they might put extra strain on the other mounts but after using one on my old 1.2 16v for 20k miles as soon as my 172 mount went i thought id get another set. so fitted them today and i still stand by the statement that...

spark plugs or coil pack? (does the 8v engine use a coil pack or is it a distributer?)

when you say it thumps do you mean the actuall engine is thumping about in the mounts or missfiring as if its running on 3 cylinders?

^i doubt it, i managed a 10.5 with no rear seats, no carpets, no door cards, no spare wheel or tool kit along with a decated stainless system , pannel filter and modified airbox with a huge cold air feed! rr @83bhp! woops alan posted before me, that was aimed at comment above his EDITL just...

changing to a 1.4 is the same hastle as doing a 2.0 conversion, uch, wiring etc so go for another engine the same or go the full way with 2.0 2004 clio 1.2 16v will be the newer revised engine with different ecu and inlet manifold etc so go for a pre 2004 engine.

set up your 1.2 properly and it will be all over a shitey 1.8 astra while being 10x more fun to drive at the same time!

it wont explode at 100 in 4th!

unless my tom tom is some how reading wrong it done it, used to do a baw hair over 120 indicated, was fairly standard running 83bhp @ the fly

mine used to do GPS 112 lol that was 120 indicated

mine done 0-80 in 17 seconds so maby about 25/30 secs?

something like that ^^

nice car mate, your 1.2 isnt that bad either tbh, ive seen much worse! diadems are the future!! ive got them in mine and had them on my last clio although most here dont agree with them lol

there is deffo a way around the problem lol.... its known as ignorance ;)

shes hot as f**k but never up for a play lol

you going to the RR day?

dont worry about what they think, i have a neighbour who hates me because "im turning the street into a scrap yard" in her words which in reality means that usually on my days off im changing suspension for someone or fitting an exhaust or something silly

not sure if you can hire them or not, cant see why not! we took my engine out without one then managed to get one for puting new one back in, it makes the job 20x easyer!!!! droped engine down and got 3 to LIFT the shell up over engine while 2 dragged it away haha

To be honest id only do a 2.0 16v if your going to the cost and bother then thats the best option, if not then just stick another 1.2 in it and sell it to buy a valver/rsi if thats what you want.

makes it a bit lighter but not by much, still id say 3 people to lift it! especially into a car we were just throwing my engine into a van not a car with trim etc!
