Welcome always nice to see more scottish people on here, get yourself along to the next meet if you fancy a laugh! how much is it lowered by and what suspension is it on? id loose the induction kit though, will be lossing you power

deffo a Dynamique, campus has horrible seats, dont like the new style front and back bumpers, it costs more for the same car with a lot less kit.

if you can afford it go for FK Coilovers. if you cant or dont want to spend the money go for Apex -60mm thats what im using and many others on here. going for FK Konigsports next tho (the adjustable ones, not the fixed damping highsports)

my 1.2 clutch was £60+ vat (got it for £40+vat with discount from renault parts guy) one thing id recommend is a new clutch cable £30 or something and that made the clutch pedal so light it was unbeleiveable! and also got rid of the creaky squeek noise i had when pressing the clutch are you...

ive got a halfords calcium one with a 4 years warranty, cost me £50 or something but deffo worth it car starts really quickly and my 5 channel amp + uprated speakers sound twice as good as they did on the dying renault battery!

id want a phase 3, 2004> for that price (even tho the phase 2 is better looking lol) only way id pay that money for it would be if it had climate control, xenons, no parking dings or scratches and full service history

dont you just love k-tec, first they gave us the most hideous mk2 grille ever then the stupid design induction kit that kills torque lol not to my taste but looks ok mate seems to have a good bit of cash spent on it!

anyone got any feedback or opinions on these exhausts? was looking at ordering the stainless manifold, front section (with decat) and possibly centre section with backbox for the 1.6 16v are these ok from a performance side of things or is there anything out there thats better suited to this...

i should have probably bought the 172 off you and sorted everything needing done over a year or 2 ready for me being able to insure it! looking good though mate, blue 1.4 was awesome especially the photo with ur birds car, wheels suit it so much!

yeah read the thread mate gave me a bit more inspiration to get it going lol. hope to have it going by end of feburary just waiting on more funds coming in :)

what you mean mate? ive got one waiting to go on

loads of people keep telling me it wont be quick, but they are the same people who refer to a standard saxo vts or 106gti as "rapid" 1.6 16v is a pretty underestimated car, and when using a raised rev limit 0-60 will be a bit quicker even on a standard engine. get it running 130-140bhp and it...

£995 + vat for conversion kit, fitting done by myself so no labour costs. manifold £300, decat £100, viper £250, headwork £300, internal work ive not had a quote for but all parts will be removed and refitted by my mate so also cuts labour costs down. in total might come to about £3,000 once...

mine is getting a 1.6 16v with cams, manifold, decat, viper, headwork and lightned and ballanced bottom end in january, well im starting it then.

lol a hammer is one tool you shouldnt take near a french car!!!! hehe only kidding, as said above stick a bit of copper slip on them this time and makes it easyer next time.

expression only went up to 1.4 16v, so no 1.6 16v expression. no other model worth going for than the dynamique apart from the very rare/special initiale model

my 1.2 16v done this last week, i unplugged every sensor and plugged them back in and it was fine :S

a good driver knows his limits, if you understand the differences in driving conditions, how a car behaves in a corner/roundabout etc then you should be ok. the only thing you need to watch for is dont judge corners by gears, where your 1.2 goes round a corner flat out in 4th (100mph) a 172...

to be honest not that much difference in the boxes performance wise to make it worth while going for 1.2 box if i have to change it 6 months later anyway so will probably get the correct box for it

yes it has.

yep i know the Super1600 cars have ITB's and cams but i mean road car that doesnt have a £10,000 engine lol fred recon'd that the 1.2 box would be fine with a 1.6 and even said he wanted to put one on his 2.0, but not sure. whats your thoughts?

aftermarket stuffs better and more suited to the car anyway

cheers for all the info edde. no worries about the 1.2 gearbox it only went on the car last month and had only done 8k miles at the time. (only reason im doing this is to save money since its a new box anyway, plus should make it slightly quicker although ratios arnt that different on them)...

hi, phoning up matt black in january to order my 1.6 16v conversion kit and just got a couple of last questions about it. so far im getting 1.6 16v with everything needed, (but using a 1.2 16v gearbox) i also want to get the 2.0 F4R throttle body that fits the engine the kit comes with ecu...

i phoned to try and get insured on a 182 and got quoted £4,500 from adrian flux @ 17 with 0ncb on my own policy

exactly as russ said ^^ but not 15s or 16s, just 15s hehe ;)

likely has had 12k spent on engine mods, not worth it tho

convert it :)

FK Konigsports (as low as i can get them to go without rubbing) ph3 1.6 16v/172/182 rear beam with disks rebuilt 1.6 16v engine lightned and ballanced, cams, headwork, manifold, decat. paired with 1.2 16v gearbox

cheers mate, will give it a go, i fancy rear disks anyway depending on what engine im going for next still cant decide between 1.6 and 2.0 (2.0 is going to need new brakes and coilovers which is more expense but probably worth it
