its under the ashtray

14.4 @pod is very respectable for a mk2! (well not to the mk1 boys or paddy who ran a 14.4 in a standard 172 IIRC, but the mk2's don't have any of that lightweight rust!!!)

its been on the wire brush machine the lot! i'm cutting it off later and getting a new one off yozza tomorrow (hopefully! 100mile drive here i come :()

^already done, its had the hammer treatment, the blow torch treatment, the parts washer, WD40, f**king thing! it'll turn freely for 1 turn, and then nada! i've snapped both H&R spanners, now onto my nice pretty Bilstein ones

get down to santa pod that car should run a 14.1 to 14.3, if it doesn't its crap

the only way i could see that happening is if they were retards and decided to use the donor engine's ecu, but that would be a dumb thing to do as you have to unlock the ecu

i've got one here you could borrow so you can drive it down to the local exhaust place and have one made up you pay postage and leave me a deposit though! i want it back!!!

epic fail, 2nd hand H&R's onto a 172, i do the backs first, easy! whack on the passenger front and set the approx ride height, easy! whack on the drivers side, would the platform budge? no f**king chance! :mad: so i now have a clio stuck on my driveway all weekend riz you're a t**t!

no indeed it lasted well!!! that was on an R-sport ecu which comes from renault with an 8,000rpm limit!!!!!!!!!! haha

no don't have to touch any of that, you just unhook the engine bay loom, pull the engine and box out, whack the new engine and box in and reconnect the loom, turn the key and you're off

^na you use the 172/182 column and just swap the rack to a base model

^will need to be unlocked

they're a weak point though

^no it doesn't fella, not on a direct engine swap, the engine itself isn't a computer just a lump of metal, the existing electronics system just "sees" the same as it did before (i mean that in a nice way, not taking the piss if you understand?)

common fault, whack it full of grease and whack a new clip on

erm what about the loop hole "if its not there it can't be tested?" i binned the ABS on my car, ripped the lot out, they questioned it at first, but rang the VOSA lot and they said if its fitted it MUST be working, or it can be completely removed

sounds almost identical to what happened to the one in the video

did it run low on oil at all??

they work fine on 50 and 60's, Schrick actually recommend putting in a 50 or 60 with their cams (i forget which) yes a cooler is a good idea (thermostatic one)

its a 10min job, go get your hands dirty!!

you never seen the oil temps on them after hard track sessions?

sounds just like the one i had in

nice!

possibly the heaviest exhaust system ever made for a clio

also i would suggest going for a 50 or 60 engine oil (something like 5W50 or 10W60) just to be extra safe if you're going for 8000rpm

we got black flagged for "excessive screeching of the tyres" at brands!! sod the fact it was 105db!

i thought they were twin rotor 650's = 1.3L?????????

LOL!!!

205/50 15's the end!

well give it a go swapping the snesors round, might save you £90!!! as for what garage i work at?? all we be revealed soon enough ;);)
