he's not the most mechanically sympathetic person i know LOL! and i have to bloody fix it if he breaks it!
the blue car doesn't get hammered in first, its never needed
3rd is the most common failure, the gearlinkage is what caused the last box to fail, if its not alinged properly it f**k...
yoz is on his 3rd box (which is actually his second box rebuilt by our specialist)
his first box did 80K including hard track work (on OE clutch)
second box was from a breakers, 3rd gear synchro went (engine was running 225bhp) that last 5K before the engine and box were pulled for full...
rear on mk2 clios = zero point, they do nothing
front, ok (ish) but only if bolted (or better welded) to the sturt tops properly and NOT with the crap self tappers that come with most
unless you have a decent chunk of cash (cira £1700+ for decent gains) to throw at the engine i wouldn't bother doing anything serious
good exhaust system (yes GOOD as in not shite) with a decat, possible ECU upgrade and thats about it
if you have the cash then cams are the next step
