Sunroof. Just seal it up with silcone until you can take it to bits...chances are it'll go again with a quick fix so i'd do it properly to save having to mess with it again. Half a days work inc a pot noodle stop...easy.

You'll able to tell if its pulled any layers off as the surface will be tatty. Looks to me that either the laquer has been pulled off with tape as you said or else someones tried to tart up the front without cleaning it properly. It's not bad though, in fact i had to stare at that pic to see it...

I had difficulty using phase 1 holders in phase 2 lights so i guess they're different. Phase 2 and 3 are the same design so you'll be able to mix and match between the two.

Take it into Halfords or any other garage/mobile tuner, they'll be able to do it for you.

Shouldn't be making a noise....50mm isn't that much for a 16v. Sounds like something is worn or knocking.

Agreed, and he knows the engines inside out. I'm getting him to do my 1.2 head after seeing that...expecting good gains from that too :-)

1.6 8V K7M is just a bored out 1.4 energy bottom so will bolt directly on...as said they're found on mk1 phase 1 meganes and some mk2 clios. 1.8 SPI TB will fit onto the 1.4 engine and will give some power increase, however, you'd ideally need headwork (and perhaps cam) to benefit from it...

Bad mixture - carb needs adjusted?

Does the 94 model already have PAS? If not you'll need a PAS steering column too

Reservoir, pipework

Do what i've done mate - stick with the 14" RSI wheels mate and swap the tyres out for 185/55's. This will give you the same diameter as low profile 195/45/15s so will improve acceleration and also give a larger footprint for more grip. The other bonus of the RSI wheels is that they're only...

Get one from a scrappy for 5 quid or so...all mk1s are the same size IIRC. For a new one you'd be looking at well over 100quid from reno. Might be worth contacting infinicar or the like to see if they've one with good bearings already in place to save cash.

Hillpower did some work on a 1.6 Megane a while back belonging to someone on here...same engine as yours...it could out accelerate a standard williams to 100. Thats was with a luminition ECU amongst other things though...

If you fit 16v shocks and springs you'll be able to go lower...you'll likely need 16v hubs to correct to strut hole spacing and bring to to the 16v 54mm. -35mm on 16v suspension equates to -55mm on a non-16v -50mm on 16v suspension would equate to -70mm on a non-16v

Well a slightly modified standard one was good enough for the grp a williams...can't see anything else being noticeably better and worth paying more for...

Change lights to phase 1/2, fit williams/16v bonnet. You'll need a phase 1/2 grill if your ditching the phase 3 bumper...but the phase 3 bumper will fit fine with the above gear.

It'll be a mk 1 phase 3 you have with the more rounder lights and bumpers you have...you can't get angel eyes for them. IK kit wise, your engine is the same as the 1.4's used from 91 onwards so any of the parts from them will fit fine.

If your replacment key doesn't work just get a complete lockset from a scrappy along with a window, breakin and just replace everything. Under 15mins to get the ignition barrel swapped over and the car running then about half an hour for each other lock. Cost about 20quid max and save you week.

1.6 8v at 160bhp? No chance mate unless you turbo/supercharge it...TB's won't even get you close.

std airbox with replacement element is best...better than any IK.

As i said, my 16v wasn't standard - i estimate it would have been putting out a good 160-odd bhp at the time. Despite a 20bhp deficit i still feel it would have taken the GTI180...as would my sisters std 172 so how people rate them close to a CTR/1x2 i don't know...?

Yup!

They should do things for the lesser clios (non RSI/16vs etc) but you'd be better looking at the likes of http://www.k-tecracing.com as they actually list stuff on their site...and its usually cheaper/better

Cam'd/chipped/no PAS/willy track at the time but still a suppossed 20bhp down on the GTI...they must be heavy or a s**t engine?

Inside edge of the tyre (closest the coilover) would move further away the more you lower it

What do you want to buy?

Thats odd...AFAIK no other coilovered valver has had that problem. As said above, likely to be the tyres i reckon too

No offence but either he had messed with his or you've a slow 172! I had a test-drive of one a while back...wasn't impressed then stepped back into my valver and even it would have whooped the gti's ass. About the only thing nice in them is the seats (IMO).

Yeah but probs a shedload more torque so should even things up. Looks better too

"Its not rocket science!"
