The cup race cars and R19 run completely subframe mounted. as does my mate on his valver and it seems to work very well. picture above shows how it works, and i wanted to know if it would work on a mk2 subframe!

Just stumbled accross this video from french car show, im the clio right infront of the rallye at the begining!! the pugeot driver was all over the shop!! XPNH_AG7qbo&feature=related

Are they the same as clio 172 callipers?? its just my local scrapyard will probs charge twice as much for clio 172 callipers on the simple logic that the clio 172 is a rare car (to be found in a scrap yard). if i can whip them off a megane they will be much cheaper!! also the same question...

plain and simple! can you bolt a mk1 steering rack, to a mk2 subframe? or do i need to use a mk2 rack??

so my valver is coming off the road on the 22nd July, being raided of the engine and interior, and being scrapped. engine will be stored/rebuilt while im on my first year of uni. Then will be dropped into a mk2 ph1 nonsport with a 172 running gear! So this is a montage of all my favourite...

Ok so i dont plan on driving my valver for a year, after which, i wish to reshell it into a mk2 effectivley, the only thing i really wish to keep from the car.....is the engine and box!! however, removing the engine and box will dump most of the fluid!! my question is would it be ok to store...

My aux belt has started making a really loud whine!! i dont think its a tension issue as i tightened it before and its still making the noise, it has very little movement up and down if you try to move it by hand with the engine off!! what else could it be if not loose?? alternator still...

Ok so its all different colours, rusting through and chipped to high heaven! but i spent all afternoon with my pot of turd polish in prep for FCS tomorrow, and was quite pleased with the outcome!! and btw, im well aware that my dash isnt very asthetically pleasing, so feel free not to make...

So the car idles lovely, but in the wrong place! it sits at 2500rpm, then sometimes lowers itself to 1500rpm, its not lumpy or anything, when driving its pretty much fine, dip the clutch in any gear and the revs drop to around 500rpm, then goes back up to 2500rpm?! ive been told that it may...

Im converting to non-pas in my valver very soon and am worried about the toll its going to take on my steering wheel!! i have a sabelt renaultsport wheel and i absolutley love it! i want to keep it as nice as possible!! steering wheel cover ive tried all seem to be too big for the wheel! any...

So i need to change my shafts, but i really dont want to move my allignment by even a fraction of a degree!! i cant take the shock off the hub because im running camber bolts that need to be set up with tools, i dont want to take the ball joint off the wishbone because theres a fair bit of...

Are they the same from the mk1 valvers and mk2?? i seem to remember them looking the same, but are they the same?? i want to put the wishbones from my valver (polybushed) and put them on my mk2 nonsport, but i want to keep the mk2 rack. are they the same? or will i have to get polybushes...

So the shell of my F7R valver is on a steady slope to becoming 100% rust. its past the point thats worth fixing. How hard would it be to reshell EVERYTHING into a mk2 shell?? will the following be able to go across from 1.8 16v shell, to a mk2 nonsport? Engine, valver Dash (dials)...

so today i thought to hell with it, for want of anything else to strip out of the clio, i gave the dash the chop! (and i dont mean its foreskin!) im sure its not to everyones tastes, but personally, i love the way it looks! considering its the closest thing i have to a daily (i do maybe...

changing gear is feeling more and more like a pudding spoon in gravey! there is so much movement left to right in each gear, and first and second seemed to have moved so far to the left that you have to push hard left to find them! (as well as reverse!!) would changing my linkage solve this...

i want to spray my interior the same colour as the car, i could go halfords for the paint but they seem very overpriced!! is there anywhere else i could go to get 449 paint. it doesnt have to be a great match tbh, since the car has probs faded quite a bit over the years! could just go with...

I was driving tonight and all of a sudden I go to brake and they're incredibly soft, the pedal goes all the way to the floor before I get any braking! So I pull over to look for leaks and such and see nothing, five minutes pass and my friend tries the pedal, its completely back to normal...
