as said above if it has onboard VGA then remove the AGP/PCI graphics card and give the onboard a go as it could be eather a conflict or you might just need to dissable the onboard VGA
pmsl sounds like my mate whos 1.0 corsa apparently eats 16v SXI's and 16v clios, but yet he never wants to go a wee thrash when ive got my car with me :D
hmm well after watching some speedo videos and compairing them to mine i found a 1.6 16v to pull from 4mph to 60mph in EXACTLY the same time to my slightly modded 1.2 16v :S
doesnt seem so good anymore, suppose numbers arnt everything!!
see problem is, mine is an expression model which as far as i know didnt come in a 1.6 16v only a 1.4 16v. i can afford to insure a 1.6 16v clio no problem, so thats all i would tell the insurance company it was? (once the dvla records were sorted)
also i know its only a 35bhp difference but...
Im looking at buying a Renault K4M 1.6 16v engine pretty soon for a conversion and just looking for some info on them. ive never done a conversion before so its all new to me but im really willing to learn and don’t mind getting my hands dirty also got plenty mates who have done conversions...
me - "want to follow me to my house and ill get that airfilter"
binns - "2 secs need to give it a bit of quick detailer"
when your doing that parked on the path outside halfords u know you have a problem ;) only kiddin mate lol
looking awesome mate, couldnt beleive how shiney it looked in the flesh today, u see the colour of allys black clio lol hes not a fan of washing his cars!!
nice induction kit ;) thats it on its 4th owner now i think (Fred, Subway, Me now you!)
EDIT: was pissing myself at your gangster lean...
yep someone asked and apparently its not possible but suppose anything is possible if you have enough time and money.
oliver have you ever came up against any 172's or other bigger engine cars? how did you do? just wondering as i fancy the conversion myself to the 1.2 16v
the guys on here and yes its a full exhaust system with a decat.
yours would sound like that if you got the same system, not sure how the standard exhausts sound with decats.
i take mine out if im going for a blast only takes 10 minz, infact can probably do it in 5 if you try! because the 1.2 16v has less power and ive got the dynamique seats am i right in thinking it would make a bigger difference on a lowered power car than it would on a 2.0?
but yeah never...
i like the.... colour.
the RenaultSport clios are known for handling brilliantly, you've gone and fuked that up with 17s lol
splitter looks ok, id lower it and stick it back on standard wheels will look much better. and obviously back to standard lights lol
awesome video, as some of the others said loved your commentary
who was the idiot in the black clio with silly lights who didnt check his mirror before he overtook? lol
mine is a 1.2 16v, group 3 insurance
apex suspension (springs and dampers)
Standard 259mm vented disks (surprizingly big!) with EBC Green Stuff Pads
Pannel filter with the airbox modified for much better airflow with a cold air feed
123,000 miles of running in
good 195/45/16 tyres on...
but if your as well getting the 1.4 16v then your a swell getting the 1.6 16v and if your as well getting that then why not get the 2.0 16v lol
1.2 16v is cheap insurance for someone whos just past, and likely 1.2 16v with mods will be about simmilar price insurance wise as a 1.4 16v standard...
if you just passed ur test am i right in assuming your 17-18? if so then get yourself a 1.2 16v (could get a 1.4 16v or 1.6 16v but save the money on insurance for mods to a 1.2 16v) obviously that will put your insurance up but its going to do that on any car.
1.2 16v with good suspension...
highest spec is initiale with leather, wood xenons etc standard.
but you can get a dynamique with xenons, climate, satnav or you get a dynamique with no aircon/climate, no xenons and no satnav
my mums got an extreme 4, its terrible. has no electic or heated mirrors, no rear speakers, no air...
