at the end of the day its just people who can be dicks. You get people who are the nicest in the world but still drive like t**sers, not always necessarily on purpose either, some just dont pay attention and dont realise when they are in the wrong.
i couldnt even hear it on my old RT, and yes it was tuned properly!! It made the car feel much smoother when accelerating but i didnt notice a difference in MPG. If you do notice a noise you can get a silencer for it. I wasnt the only person to notice the smoothness as i did a test with a few...
its hard to say as the car is parked on the curb and i cant see where the arch starts/wheel ends. Could you fit a fag packet face down between the arch and wheel?
Ive got a billabong with air con and was wondering if any of the pipes running to/from the air filter are connected to the air con unit? I was just wondering as i dont see why the k-tec/hillpower relocation kit for the air filter couldnt just be shortened.
cheers
According to hill power you also have to pay an extra £100 odd quid for an uprated fuel pressure regulator with that kit! Well you dont HAVE to but it is supposed to make the car run lean on its own.
definitely lowered, these clios do tend to sit quite high which can be misleading. Personally i think that looks to be about 55-60mm as my mate lowered his 60 on 17s and it looked about the same as that.
come on, you expect help then wont even say where you got them from when someone asks, bit unfair. its not like there a one-off custom part that you dont want anyone else to have is it
nothing max power about an engine transplant:o Im not into big bodykits or anything but wouldnt mind a power hike in a couple of years as im not feeling the new clio and dont want 75bhp forever!
I was wondering that as well, are they part of the sports bodykit that you can buy from the dealer? and if theres room for me, youre definitely welcome!
lol, i never want to be compared to a nova! But i wouldnt be surprised if someone like Torsion Tuning takes on this transplant for a customer in the next few years, suppose well just have to see what comes around. I definitely wont be doing a GTT conversion though
well, who knows... Maybe by the time i come to look at this (at least a year or two) i could get a Megane RS transplant!! not sure if it would fit but is it the same 2.0T engine they are fitting into the new clio?
i dont rate that MAC amp as my mate had one and he managed to blow it twice. the thing is he doesnt play his music especially loud and only had one sub and a pair of 6x9s running off it.
that geezer with the yaris blew his gearbox actually but he ripped out the turbo and got it replaced on warranty! but still, a GTT lump is a consideration but im not too hot on the idea of putting a 15 year old, non power steering lump into a brand new car. plus its something different. Well i...
well i would say that 120bhp is quite a boost from 75! i was reading about some bloke who had a turbod 1.0 litre yaris, around 60bhp standard, and he was pushing 110bhp on the rollers.
It would look like this: http://www.r-tecautodesign.com/images/ren2.jpghttp://www.r-tecautodesign.com/images/ren2.jpg
And this doesnt look good! proper off roader! watch out if you go abroad, might come back with a dozen kosovans in the arches;)
cheers fred, ill let you know when ive got the them so we can arrange something. I think ill just get the springs for now and save up for some decent adjustables instead of getting the cheap spax kit. where have people got their springs and for how much? ive seen PIs for £75 and k-tecs for £88
mines only a 1.2 16v so spped is not really an issue! However, the better it handles the quicker i will be able to take corners. I found this out when i was thrashing my mates pug 106 xsi round some countries in my RT
Right i know that a full kit will be better than just springs but i am wondering how many people have just gone for springs. It seems that a lot of people dont bother with a full kit so could you just post which you have, cheers.
This is not a tech question, i am just curious. BTW im referring...
Thats alright then! Got no problem with individuality. Just that ive seen a 1.5DCi with the 2.0 16v badges on which is a bit of a joke! Im going for -55m springs and the spax full kit off k-tec i think. Or i might just get - 60mm springs for now and save for some koni adjustables
