Hi, could you tell me how you wired up the rev counter on your old phase 3? I've now got myself some RT clocks but IIRC from what you said they're not plug and play into a 1.2 and will require some modification - do you know exactly what needs to be done or can point me in the direction of...

Nothing special about them?! They're just a nice design, cheap and reasonably light (8kg or therabouts)...you can still easily get lighter tho...

Yeah, the bearings need pressed into the hub carrier, and old ones pressed out. Bearings are roughly 30quid from a factor, or about 45 from reno.

it'll be answered, don't worry!

70mm will look good. Eddes right, it'd handle better with the front a little lower than the rear but it'll still be good with the sills level to the ground (which i think is what you really mean?).

*slap* ;-p

Sounds about right.

Regardless, i think renault is still your best bet for diagnosing this....they built the car, they have the equipment.

No, hes right it won't solve the problem but by leaving those bits on you're doing yourself out of getting them to fix it...causing yourself money too if you've warranty waiting to be used.

Obvious question here but can't you just refit the airbox and decat then drop it off with them?

Erm...anyone thats breaking a clio 16v/williams/R19 16v - matbrown/infinicar/LTR etc? Try on www.retro-renault.com...you'll likely get an entire car for what you pay for the brakes on here!

Calipers, Caliper carriers, discs, pads and also the caliper carriers bolts

Why are you doing that? The std 16v gauges should just plug into your 1.4 dash as the internal looms are meant to be the same.

There not that saught after - a complete engine went on eay for about 75 a few weeks ago so going to a proper scrappy you'll find one for under 50. Straight swap yes but not many people will bother considering you can bang a 1.8/2ltr (8v or 16v) in for not much more...

No, don't think so.

You could do it that way but thats rather pointless...better of just bolting a 1.6 BE on as is rather than swapping the parts over. It'll be in better nick anyway. The head off a 1.6 should fit on a 1.4 block but the problem will be management...you'd likely need everything of the megane...

Yes its the same and thats exactly how they got the capacity increase.

Under 200quid. In fact you'll get a complete megane engine for under that if you hunt about...then you can sell the head to recoup costs. It's only in clioland that prices go silly for them!

Yes.

1.4 16v head won't fit as its completely different. Headwork and cam will give a good gain and coupled with the 1.8 8v SPI TB from a laguna you'll get close to 100bhp. You could also fit a 1.6 bottom end from a megane 8v (K7M engine)...it'll bolt straight on and give some extra power...

Aye, probably a heatsheild rattling...common problem on mk1 - just cut it off/remove it completely.

With ECU/Exhaust/IK - 6-10bhp gain at best as said. With headwork/cams - probably kncoking on the door of 160/165bhp

With the greatest of respect Ali, the 'weve got the power' argument is a bit lame. While the RS is probably quickest of all clios its still just a glorified shopping trolley and in the grand scheme of things isn't anywhere near the quickest thing on the roads. I'm not denying its a good car...

I used to dislike 'chav/bodykitted' cars too but thesedays it doesn't matter a toss how fast your car is...theres always someone getting in the way or always a traffic jam...end of. This being the case i'd rather be sitting in something a bit individual (or better still a motorbike) instead...

No, revs won't, oil pressure won't, exterior temp won't, doubt any of the aux gauges will TBH

bump

I want to lower my clio a little bit more but have just 1 cm of thread left to play with on the rack arms! Roughly how much thread is used up on average by dropping say 20mm? Will i have enough thread to sort the tracking after going down by this amount?

AWT cams are made by catcams IIRC.

No, 16v's had it as an extra...possibly RT's/RSI's too. As BRUN says, its not the best...
