mine had it really bad before i passed my test last year when it only got used by my dad to get to work 5 minz away every day its fine now, take it a thrash down a backroad or the motorway or something and it will be fine
sounds like a bearing, £20 or so from GSF car parts each and £5/£10 per side for a garage to press them, free if you know anyone with a garage lol
on a 1.2 16v with drums on the rear you pop the centre cap bit off the drum, undo the bolt, pull the hub off and take it to a garage, have it...
i prefer just to take the exhaust off at the manifold, sounds much better and its free, infact sell the exhaust and you make money, should try it some time, not lol
laguna 2.0 one fits straight on as you said mate, same part just bigger intake bit, wont get full benefits untill a remap but should still make a difference!
oil and coolant arnt mixing so thats cool, rocker cover gasket is deffo leaking oil its all over the back of it but ill have another good look tomorrow, changed oil last month and its drank it all in 5k miles
ill pm you for that guide the now!
Got a video of mine doing 0-62mph in around 10.5 seconds, 14" steelys are exact same rolling radius as a 15" with 185/55 tyres, mine has 195/50 which is even smaller, but to be honest you wont notice a difference at all
so id say there would be nothing in it between mine and a good 1.6 escort...
thats the kit im getting on my car dont sl@g it ya knob!!!
na only kiddin lol aye Clio Super 1600 rally car replica kit
any good at fitting gearboxes mr gibson?
i wouldnt call it low ratio, its about average for its type of car really. could be doing with a lower ratio 4th and 5th but suppose its to save fuel etc its not a performance car lol
anyone done a rocker cover and/or head gasket on a 1.2 16v?
my rocker cover gaskets gone and needing done and thought i might as well do the head gasket while im at it since its on 130k and leaking both oil and coolant somewhere!
how hard/easy are both, if the head gaskets pretty hard ill...
you should be able to put a ph2 mount on it? my 1.2 16v never had the twisted mount, but i got a mk2 172 mount and it fits straight on, well did untill i hit a bump in the ground on a farm road and caught the mount and ripped it clean out teh gearbox, nasty
hi, do the police have the power to look up what mods are declaired on someones insurance, and if so what happens if they find out you have a mod that isnt declaired? does this apply to all mods, engine conversions?
basically trying to find out what would happen if you were pulled with an...
my tool kit isnt the best but probably up to the job, my mate had the box split from the engine when doing my clutch so he can always help too if i get stuck!
next job is the rocker cover gasket, anyone know how easy or hard these are to do on the 1.2 16v engine?
Andy your free to help if i go down the conversion route mate! more help the better
172 is out the question tho cheapest quote i can get fora 172 is £5,500 in my own name and i assume a kit car based on this engine wouldnt be any cheaper?
K4M isnt great but if im replacing the engine i fancy...
average......
lol na mate sounds awesome when u taking me a spin? need to get one for SL02 when it returns to the road in a couple of months, cant wait
seriously doubt it, ive got 2 mates with 1.6 escorts (well sorry 1.6 injection escorts, for some reason they always add the injection bit when talking about their cars lol) and my 1.2 16v starts to pull on both of them, and thats before we touch the corners.
im not saying a 1.4 16v clio is...
apparently they are all different, BUT all aftermarket exhausts are the same for all of them so i think cat back standard 1.6 16v exhaust will fit a 1,2 16v but not 100% on it
