i have a low spec ie no fogs, trip computer, auto lights etc etc but i have wiring for fog lights, does that mean my new fogs will work when wired up and new stalk etc? cheers

a jet engine by the sounds of what happens when it hits 150mph lol

mine didnt feel any different even the 2nd before it happened then there was a loud knock and it felt like the 2 front wheels locked for half a second then it jumped out of gear, i thought what was that, exhaust note doubled and couldnt get it into gear (could feel the engine swinging back and...

i left a cv joint for 2 months before replacing it, but it ate the gearbox before i got round to it, needed the following parts gearbox - £150 2nd hand driveshaft - £100 from renault dogbone mount - £35 (£40 on top of that for polly bushes for it i think i payed) cat - (when mount snapped it...

blip the throttle and it will go in, as for why it does it in first and not any other gear, i dont know just know its the syncro

dogbone mount, mine used to do it coming upto a roundabout near here when i hit a drain not good when your hard on the brakes doing a ton trying to get it down to 70 in time for hte roundabout

LOL who told you that. it wont get anywhere near that standard

its a phase 3 one, ecu is behind the battery. doesnt have the metal cage, mind does untill it fell of one day lol

my dad doesnt have a car beat that lol, if he needs to drive he USED to drive mine but dont think he liked buying me a new alloy and paying to get the tracking done again lol mum has a 1.2 16v clio learner car complete with L plates and sign on top! well she did untill i put it into limp mode...

1.2 16v's got this too? i just assumed mine sounded like a tunnel full of fiestas because of millage lol

my stering got lighter when i went from 195/50/15 to 205/45/16 so possibly

is it a smaller wheel than standard? thats probably why, the steering gets light with the standard bus wheel! what engine is it? 2.0 16v?

^ yep, i like to put a jack under the engine to stop it moving when you take the old one off, makes it easyer to bolt it back in as you dont need to rock the engine to get the bolt to line up, maby thats just me tho (or my car!)

2 bolts, 15 min job

280 miles on average, can get 320 if i try really hard had as low as 240

na was the 16s, had plenty grip just didnt handle well

nailing round the tight curve on the stirling services roundabout at 80mph in the summer and watching the guy in the corsa sport do a 180 spin trying to keep up!

ive got 195/50/15 on standard dynamique wheels down 60mm and if you look at the rear arch liner they do catch, and they catch the rear damper on one side too, dont hear it though so its nothing majour.

its because we have 1.2 16v cups russ, the lightweight, faster models who needs trip computers, auto wipers, auto lights and all that crap?!

older ones from summer 2006... how it looks now...

id only use a genuine cambelt kit

a drivebelt is a cambelt? or do you mean the aux belt between the alternator and engine?

i went from 16s to 15s and it handled much better. the 1.2s electric powersteering is too light for 16s or bigger in my opinion mine used to tramline all the time. get 15s with 195/50/15 or even 195/45/15 will handle miles better and be like a go-kart compaired to 17s acceleration wont really...

fan belt? you mean cambelt?

neather did i at one point, got some decent tools, asked plenty questions on here and to mates who are mechanics or mechanically minded and helped do a couple now which i know i could do myself!

depends what sort of driving you do.. the 172 cup is ment to be better to drive on the limit and down a twisty backroad, but the 172 is still brilliant in these areas too! if your belting down backroads all the time etc then id get a cup, if you do the odd backroad run and more motorway town...

engine conversions are only worth it if your doing every last bit of work yourself so you have no labour costs. valver engine is a silly idea for a mk2 to be honest, why put a 10-15yr old engine in a car thats only a couple of years old? id go for a 1.6 16v clio engine or if you fancy being...

id get mk2 172 wheels for it, twin 3" exhaust and apex -60mm kit or coilovers. id only lower it 60mm or more, anything less looks standard! mine is -60mm and i think it sits to high

do what im doing/done... get a 1.2 16v for a year or 2 then a 172 (getting one next summer hopefully) 1.2 16v has more than enough power to have fun if you make it handle. theres also the 1.4 16v and 1.6 16v and the DCi range too. at the next dry meet ill be more than happy to take you a...

not trying hard enough ive done twice that millage lol, not quite, 140k on a 2002 looks good tho, 182 wheels suit it, needs a cup splitter tho
