ai linky to the guide Budgie man would be good :) I've done loads on the mk1's so guessing same principle, lower frame and drop box onto it and slide out into wheel arch to get clearance?

skins and rice puddings come to mind ;)

when you say they are failing, what do you mean, the rubber is splitting or the CV joint collapsing even with rubber in tact if its just the rubber I'd say its the 3rd party shaft (cheap rubbers), and buy a proper one from Renault or a used one you know is good. if its the CV shitting itself...

efa

HPi and if that's clear, buy. 2k for that is cheap imo people on here just drive down the price of these cars and parts as they are all cheapskates (they learn that from me ;) ) same things happened to the mk1 scene about 5 years ago, no its dead :(

sounds like a tensioner issue on the aux belt system, if theres insufficient tension on the belt then it'll slip, stop turning the alternator and pas pulleys properly and lead to less steering assistance and the alternator output dropping get it checked by a pro asap as if the aux system lets...

love the flower as ever :)

physically yes I guess they would, you'd have to file the hubs down to fit spacing on the flanges but they should bolt on. but why??

standard 172/182 discs mate, 283mm is it?

I know mate, I've already offered them up and test fitted. I just hadn't sorted lines out

nice purchase :)

no necessarily, as said I've been through many boxes and not once popped a circlip yet. its gears I find that strip, that's the biggest cause of death

what the heck engine is that? looks like an alpine V6 twin turbo or something, can I see carbs on it? its certainly not a clio v6 lump

ai good call, but I wont bother if the 182 ones I have kicking about in the shed fit :)

they'll be fine then as the conversion is going on a mark 1 clio 16v, so shorter than 182 lines as standard so 182 should give me nice bit of slack :)

what brake lines do people use for this conversion?

reweld the hangars on the back of the exhaust backbox (nearest the bumper) more than likely. depends how far up it needs to go

my experience with JC5 boxes hasn't been great under boost, mine runs about 270lb/ft and I've been through 13 gearboxes of various guises (laguna, megane, clio, R19) all JC5 and all lasted around 1k miles each however I put a 172 phase 1 JC5 in around 3 years back now and no issues, well other...

lol, afraid to say mate your memory is considerably better than mine! :)

welcome

i'll have to pop over for a nosey at the weekend mate once the cams are in, is it getting mapped too?

looking good mate, L.W's sorted the parts for you then? paints looking epic as their work always is :) did you get my message bout the plate? ;)

cheap and fun basically and of all the hot hatches the look and feel of them stands out. I've owned fiestas/corsas/polos and none really stood out. even the basic 1.2/1.4 etc clios are fun to drive. brand loyalty a bit too, I like what Renault sort of stands for, less of the stigmata...

can never have enough, fact

the willy wheels on then George? pics required I feel ;)

I get high mileage envy, I want mine to be highest!lol!

this, my 182 is on about same, 120k, and the engines a peach.

bout time you guys landed here as well ;)

old thread bump or what, lol!

I always use part worns, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to look for defects etc before you buy and use a bit of common sense to find good rubber at a fraction of the price of new. however, I wouldn't change just one tyre, pairs only, and I sure as hell would make sure they're balanced.
