    cheapish performance upgrades for my ickle 1.2

    best thing you can do with a 1.2 is lower it and upgrade the brakes then if u want get a pannel filter and full s/s catback exhaust and decat. even if i spent £1000 on my engine i doubt i could get it round a tight backroad any faster than i can now that its lowered :)

    -60mm Apex kit fitted

    Fitted my Apex -60mm kit yesterday so washed it and took some pics today. it looks nice and low even although id like the front a little lower. but the best part is the handling hammering it into tight corners at like 65mph and it just grips! if your hammering it round a corner and hit a...

    1.6 16v engine

    i cant see how it could be cheaper to drop in a 2.0 over a 1.6 considering a 2.0 costs more to buy and you need to upgrade the brakes and possibly suspension too

    MK2 PH2 Fog Lights

    so if you have a space for a front fog light fuse in your fuse box you should be fully wired?

    Turning blower on dims my lights!!

    my lights are dimming big style when using my electric windows and they are going really slow, does it with the engine on or off so dont know what it is, probably both battery and alternator fuked in my case!

    i was told it was the Rolling Radius that kills the smaller engines, not sure about the bigger ones.

    I’m eighteen, with a bullet!

    to be honest even if i won the lottery i wouldnt buy anything like an F430 or SLR, somthing like a 1.6 for a year thats still resonably nippy then after a year get a 2.0 then work your way up.

    Insurance

    Williams is out of the question mate untill your atleast 18 with 1yrs ncb but even at that your talking near enough £3,000! VTR i know a couple of people at 17 driving them but they get ripped off mega style too! there is quite a lot of us here with 1.2 16v Dynamiques for first cars at 17...

    k&n panel filter

    An air filter is a consumable item so the way I see it is your just changing it for a better, longer lasting item. just like you wouldnt declair upgraded wiper blades or headlight bulbs!

    I’m eighteen, with a bullet!

    engine restriction idea is good in someways but bad in others, i know i would rather be in a 172 with a 18yr old who knows about cars rather than someone who doesnt have a clue how a car will and can react but just likes to go fast (such as my dad who has been driving for 20 years but doesnt...

    First proper(ish) pics of my Cuppy since ive had it and been a member.

    get clear side repeaters like said above mate, little tip though get the genuine renault ones, i got ones from K-Tec and they're cheap and nastly and even although they say they are for a clio i needed to mod them with a stanley to fit because they were for a megane. they also let in water...

    1.2 16v engine info

    u sure it needs a rebuild? mine is at 120,000 and still fine, i know freds is at about 80,000 and has done loads of track days and is still fine the more miles they do the faster they go!

    16s or 17's

    lower it on 16s and they look just right, 17s look to big on them. most 172/182 owners buy the car because of the handling and performance not just beacuse it has fancy bumpers and seats, so why waste it with bigger wheels?

    Ecotex valves

    if its a 1.2 16v you have get an induction kit with a k-tec relocation kit, if not get a pannel filter for your standard air box.
