need to read up on engine conversion insurance because i really dont want a new car, looked all over the place and theres none that appeal to me, for the £6,000 im going to spend on a new car i could build and insure a monster of a 1.6 16v conversion

ive got a haynes manual for it aye 1 end bolts to car other end bolts to box, the bolt onto teh car is fine its solid its the 1 onto the box thats fuked mate said with a lot of hastle we could probably sort it but likely it needs a new box and probably worth it since its crunching into 3rd a...

yep worth a try but sounds like a syncro, think my 3rd gear 1 is on its way out. syncro matches the speed when changing to eliminate the need for double clutching as far as im aware which would explain why it doesnt do it when you match the revs

Halfords have one branded as Ripspeed but apparently they are rebadged Pioneers without the removable face, heard a couple of mates talking about wanting one but yet to have a playwith one so no sure if its any good but may be worth checking out hope this helps

17s look to big on a clio in my opinion especially a mk1. 17s will give you a big hit on performance and it will handle like shite but if you dont care about this then yes it'll look bling you say a standard rt tho, so i assume its not lowered? if not lower it first or it will look very VERY...

worn/fuked syncro in the box. best bet is to put a recon box in it or get yours rebuilt. not sure if you can just change the fuked syncro in the box or not, im not up on gearboxes

lol i do about 500 miles a week and thats just driving for the sake of it, my works only 2 miles away lol im at 130k now, well was untill my car fuked up on me tonight

maual sunroof is a c**t especially on a solid suspension set up lol rattles like fuk! best thing is no sunroof but only on extreme 4/campus and 172/182's and extreme4/campus is nothing on a dynamique

will check it tomorrow, but everyone knows im talking about the lower gearbox dog bone mount here and not the mount under the battery?! im getting confused lol

3500, same on all 1.2 16v's its down to the gearbox just incase you didnt know since you asked what everyone else's is at lol

you think there better but go nail both cars down the same backroad braking heavy and see which is better, new clio being heavyer with smaller brakes will likely fade quicker brakes that put you thru the windscreen arnt always "good" brakes, brakes that put u thru the windscreen time and time...

what was up, rattles leak etc?

millage isnt an issue really, mine is on 130k and sound (well appart from my little engine mount issue i had tonight but could have happened on any millage lol) only thing been replaced on mine is clutch which is expected and coil pack along with the usuals like brakes, wheel bearings etc...

so top nut is eather fuked or fell off? bolt had dropped right down and fell out so i assume it just fell off?

does the bolt go thru a hole into a bolt or does it screw into the gearbox, seems to me like it screws into the gearbox off the top of my head but too dark to check.

mates seems fine and doesnt rattle like mine, they common to problems?

1.4 16v and 1.6 16v come with "sports" suspension but you wont noice a difference in my opinion, think they have thicker anti roll bars or at least 1.6 16v does, later 1.6 16v's 2003 53 plate (i think) onwords have rear disks same as 172/182 spec inside is the same as a 1.2 16v which is...

yep gearbox mount from a 172, different but similar apparently stronger, does look it, i bought it for powerflex bushes in it and never got round to fitting them, ended up fitting it with standard bushes

little black box that covers the ecu loom fell off ages ago how is this related? cheers mate not sure if it makes any difference but it has a 2.0 16v 172 engine mount on it not the standard one

fred, whats needing done to sort it, know plenty people who would probably know what to do just too late to contact any of them tonight just want a bit of an idea!! cheers mate, might take that gearbox of yours if you still have it if its more hastle than its worth to fix

was picking up my sister tonight from her mates, she stays in a farm! very bumpy road and think i might have caught the ground, was pulling out the junction onto the road when i got a loud clunk, gearstick moved a good bit and exhaust got much louder. crawled home and checked it at home, on...

looks ok for a corsa, pitty they handle bollox lol

frees them up a bit, over all, yes for £20 it will make a difference

looks good for the price, wee set of 15s and lower it and it wud be nice!

any pics of them on?

nothing grips like a set of Yokohama A539s, thats my next tyres after having a shot of a mates clio with them. Eagle F1s are apparently good, getting a set from evil john hopefully tomorrow when i buy his old dynamique wheels with them fitted. seemed fine on gibsons 172, he always uses them...

weird that i ordered 2 new apex front shocks because 2 failed on me and i got them the net day

turbochargers run off the exhaust so you get lag waiting on the turbo spooling up but a supercharger runs off the engine via a belt so theres no lag waiting on it spinning up

thats a MK2, MK3 is the newest shape one (197 shape) it can be done with enough money but not really worth it, better selling the clio, buying a civic/integra then supercharging it, even at that its still going to cost a fukin bomb and thats BEFORE insurance!

ive got 2 14" steel wheels on the front of my car the now because i cant afford 2 new tyres yet on my 15s and it feels really spongey! the apex kit is solid, mine doesnt budge so i dont know what i could be, the tyres are hte only thing i can think of. get some 15"s with 195/50 tyres on them
