probably the lower gearbox mount, their crap.
i replaced mine with a 172 twisted style mount with uprated Powerflex polly bushes from K-Tec, its one of the best mods ive ever done, the gearstick doesnt jump about anymore when you come on and off the accelerator, infact its solid. moving slowly...
lol reanult wanted to cut my mates grill and someone even said a hole in the bonnet!
10 minz with a screwdriver and i had it open with no damage done, £30 for a new release cable and it was sorted
my new cable had they weights too and my old one didn, they just have changed it, maby thats why mine is so light now.
i drove gibson172's the other day and it was pretty light, mk2 172 on 30k
Ive got Eagle F1s on my Dynamique 195/50 and they are mental, especially in the wet. my mums got 4 budget cheapos on her dynamique and i nearly lost it on the stirling services roundabout at 35mph, mine does it at 60mph, get to 65mph and it starts to slide slightly
car looks awesome.
lol at the black one, looks like as alex said it could be exhaust trims as it looks like its too close to the towing hook on teh right hand side
65 dosnt have an intercooler, 80 and 100 do.
100 has a different turbo, think the 65 and 80 have the same turbo.
think you need bigger injectors to go past 120bhp i heard?
doesnt the 100 have the 6 speed megane box or am i talking pish?
make sure the tyres are the same condition on opposite sides, front and back.
get the tracking checked
check dampers & bushes
check tyre pressures
and as john said, remember the roads are terrible at this time of year
Powerflex bushes make a massive difference!! i always said if i get another clio, only mods ill be doing is suspension and powerflex bushes in the mount.
the gearstick has no movement at all in it, it feels much tighter and better to drive
only time ive seen one snap is when my driveshaft went causing the gearbox to lock up and snapping the mount. car needed a new gearbox, driveshaft, mount, cat/downpipe.
as for replacing it its easy,
use a socket and a hammer to get the old bushes out, put the new powerflex polly ones in...
VERY VERY nice, theres a fine line between thats modded and whats wasted when your posting on here but thats deffo a nice one, subtle but nice.
id maby change spoiler for a cup one but apart from that id leave it as it is DONT CHANGE THE MIRRORS!!! that'll waste it
nice work
deffo worth a read if you havnt read it already, they even get it profesionally set up with corner weights etc, change the wishbones and ball joints, change a worn engine mount and still dont like it
i love snow lol
if it was my car id take stickers and stripes off, drop it 60mm, smoked repeaters, standard mirrors and light tints!
but its not my car
anyone read the bit about the 172 cup on LEDA coilovers this month, and about how they hate them and prefer standard setup?
whats everyones thoughts on this? i was totally surprized when i read it, tbh would have been surprized if they didnt think they were that much better than standard, but...
