Looked into this, and the adaptor is supposed to be available but isnt. Someone in France made an adaptor but BMC and its distributors dont have it. I asked a place who were interested in doing this as they did work on Fiats. I drew around the K&N and also the throttle body and they...

Car should be fine with decat and then chip afterwards. Chip will be set up for your 1.8 I believe so 2litre will require ECU and new chip to match the 2litre to any mods.

Have a magnex which came with the car. Apparently old one rusted and previous owner though a stainless stell would be better. Like the looks and the sound and have now just fitted teh magnex decat which looks like a cat rather than just being a straight through pipe. You should also look at...

Seems a bargain if any1 is looking for high end ICE http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3009000114&category=3293http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3009000114&category=3293

Or book your car in and get it done whilst you wait?

BMC dont do the adaptor. You need to get one made to fit on the throttle body with oval or round nozzle in order for silicone hose to clamp on which then goes to the BMC. Got mine fabricated and the place that did it may do it for you too...

De cat is fine on its own. Got a magnex one fitted which actually looks like a cat so will fool them at MOT unless emmisions are too high. Hoping ecotek will help with that. Chip I got from BB and you are right they are 250, as are KTEC now. HP seems cheapest. But then I got cambelt done...

Cheers Daz. Been seriously contemplating a Willy eng to get gasflowing, cams, verniers, maybe pistons etc to try and get near 200bhp. Due to the cost involved may spend this money better on my 1.8 as the 600-800 plus VAT or 1200 all in for 40k Willy eng and brand new box could go a long way...

Cheers mate, for that price worth doing the change myself.

Been offered a brand new gearbox at a crazy price. From a breakers who also have a 40k Willy engine so may get both or just the box for future replacement when my 16v box dies. What numbers should I be looking for on the box to check it is a genuine Willy box and will it be evident that it is...

Im up to 69k and got cambelt done, waterpump at same time (needed replacing) and coolant flush. Majority of other things, spark plugs, HT leads maybe, oil and filters inc fuel filter, brakes etc can be checked/replaced by the majority of owners. MOT soon should then test all the thingsI cant...

Was talking about cambelt. If you mean fan belt round alternator (timing belt ?) this should have been checked/swapped when cambelt was done as it has to come off to do that.

Both BB and KTEC are about 150 quid, check their websites, less cliosport discount plus VAT. Hillpower is more expensive (what i got quoted anyway). Renault dearer still.

370 when I mainly do motorways and a roads, dual carriageways. 300 minimum when mostly commuting and a bit of dual carraigeway/motorway. Magnex inc de cat, BMC CDA, BB chip, ecotek. Ecotek helps as consumption goes up when I turn it off.

If my BMC fits then so will a Viper but silicone hose with approx 90 degree bend is required.

Oops your right. In my haste I thought that the ad had changed. Maybe it is the KTEC catalogue that I got posted saying available feb/march and because that wasnt appearing on the web I got mixed up. Im sure the cat says it though so they must be getting it soon. Some1 must be sorting out...

Yeah thin/thick means nothing to me. Too thin was the reason I was told not to use fully sythetic but I will do at some point. Have 2 lots of Mobil Motorsport but at the mo still prefer to pay 15 quid and get it all done. As to cost, the oil is the same that costs you or I 20 quid for 5...

Renault Coventry is actually better than Renault Leamington Spa, who said my folks Megane Scenic did not have faulty brakes even though the rears were stuck on all the time. A visit to Coventry for the service put this right and they were replaced. Isnt the service free for a new car? If not...

I would have got fully synth if they did it but doubt big places get much call for it. You should see the size of the barrels the stuff comes out of. The semi synth is a nice green colour which is probably a good indicator as the blacker it gets the older or dirtier it is (i guess). Place I...

National Tyres charge probably 10 or 15 quid more without the voucher so worth getting one out of the paper. Definately in towards the weekend (thurs to sat) papers. Filter is included and its worth booking your car in 1st just in case they dont have the filter in stock. £10 gets normal...

Know what you mean as Ive only just started spending money on mine and know Ill never get it back so if I had a MG Metro for 7 years a Clio 16v will last me till it goes no more.

Guessing cams, exhaust inc decat, manifold maybe, Sealed Ik like Viper of BMC, gas flowed head (ktec looks promising) and chip. Until someone tries that unsure what that lot would produce but bet it wouldnt be far off, depending on how good OE items are! And if people are doing new cams etc...

Or about 20 quid for buying the oil yourself, fiver for the filter, hassle of draining the old and pouring in the new. Major hassle in trying to actually remove/refit the filter if you have big hands. £15 a bargain for this, would cost me nearly twice as much in money plus getting myself...

Thought you were flogging the red beast Mat and now you r gonna buy a new box 4 it?

Yeah it seems everyone strives for a Willy but gets the 16v instead because of Insurance. I know I did. Then pay a fortune getting a Willy engine put in. The madness !!!

Primas website has been down for ages so if that isnt up and running god knows what is going on with the actual company?

Would be handy if someone could get before/after bhp figures when fitting things on their motor as that way people would know what works. Especially as the RR results would be from the same RR on the same day so there would be little room for error. Wonder if PGti would be interested in doing...

Looks like its now available according to the KTEC website: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=185http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=185 Although doubt the +10bhp claim as it cant be the same for all models, 1.2s 1.6s 1.8s and 2.0s. Hopefully someone will get one...

Go for 195/50/15 to replace the 185/55/15 as they are cheaper. Bridgestone SO3s cost me 48 quid a corner and Ive done 16k on them with 6mm left. Goodyear F1s are a bit cheaper then Toyos cheaper still. My car came with a different brand on every corner and handling was much better when I had...

I would have thought the advantages of such oils like magnatek where they protect the engine would be lost on higher milage vehicles as any wear would already have been caused. Maybe future wear would be minimised by using this now though? I tend to go to national tyres very 5 or 6k and get...
