it was a good feature, did the car justice. Wasnt your usual 1.2 big bodykited crap with no engine work. dave

oooh dont get a valver b4 ur 20 u wont be able to handle it.... A valver is not a supercar, althought id agree thats it not wise as a first car or even in first year of driving. If you can afford it and are willing to be sensible and learn how to handle a car with more power than a 1.2 then do...

your looking at around high 14s to 15s with basic mods.

people like that think theyve got the best car on the road just cos it has the bmw badge. Most of them only drive them for the image. To be honest the image of driving like a tw*t, not have indicators installed as standard and being a fat german tank doesnt impress me.

go for it mate just be carefull getting used to the power. Im gonna have similar power and loads less weight and im only 19. Its all about how experienced a driver you are. For example ive been to numerous track days and had a lot of driving experience for a 19 yr old. All depends on your...

HIC, i got that quote a month or so ago but iv heard disturbing things that they have tightened their belts on insurance so i gotta phone up and confirm but that was with everything declared 170bhp clio. Weren;t 2 bad i thought.

no claims? Im paying 2k tpft at 19 with no ncb and 3 points everything declared.

my road angel is amazing its a life saver, try driving round the A406 north circular without it!!

im not sure why people are making such a big issue of lag, the standard T2 turbo on a Gtt spins up to full boost at approx. 2k and even if you have a t25/t28 there isnt too much lag with spinup (aslong as its a rollerbearing) The only time lag will be a genuine issue is if you just put a large...

Glenn - if yours comes out before mine ill shoot you i swear! Its gonna be July now for me. Diamond geezer - just out of interest when is your car going in for its rebuild? How long they sed they will have it?

Things always go wrong! My cam has been the part slowing down mine at the moment. Its a piper 285 and they reckon they are really busy at the moment because of the show season coming up. Fair enough though..just annoying. Bollox to bodywork i cant be bothered with it, mine looks...

Ahh i see, my dads pretty into it aswell so helps me out where he can. What are parents for tho hey?! :D So who is doing your conversion? Im not too worried about the clio gtt becoming popular...just means more competition about whose is quicker! Dump valves?!? Wastegate chatter more like...

hehe daddys girl hey?? ;) I dont think i could justify saying to my dad turbo my clio...pretty please with sugar on top??? Naah definatly not gonna happen! Theres too many people thinking about gtt conversions now! its not gonna be an elite group if so many people have them! Well all have...

Vix - not sure that would work, i havnt done it myself yet but im not sure if you can use a v5 with the wrong engine as i think the engine number is on the logbook? Im 100% sure on the cat though, as long as you have the gtt lump, the car is testing based on having a gtt engine therefore no...

I think as long as the new engine number is entered on your log book its all ok. The emissions is done by the engine that goes into the car. Eg. you dont need a cat on a Clio gtt due to the engine coming from a pre 92 car. (as already mentioned.) Didnt know you needed the R5 V5, you just need...

Insurance may not be too bad if you speak to the right people, liv vic talk out there arse most the time, getting a cheap quote is like a lucky dip. As Viv says try HIC. Were in this together haha As for the conversion Speak to TT. They were the originators and also im pretty dam sure theyve...

Wouldnt be anti lag on a 5 i doubt. Unless it had a Dustbin sized turbo in there and actually needed it.. Most probably because side exits are shorter distance to exit the car and more free flowing combined with full throttle gear shift/ignition cut device or similar.

coolspot - i was referring to the knob style manual in car adjustable boost not a proper boost controller like a profec a/b or blitz sbc series. Electronic boost controllers are the business. Out of interest what sort of power/modification spec you got? Is it a gtt or a 16v turbo? PM if you like.

In car boost is not the best mod since sliced bread, too easy to get carried away and are so inaccurate. If youve spent a bit of money on the engine having a knob that you can turn to blow you car up is a bit stupid. Specially if ur loosing a little race and the temptation to unscrew it all the way.

sounds like a good idea. You can ask them about it tomorow when u go down there mate!

no thats a 250bhp R5 engine that is built to be used everyday, Dave used it as an everyday car for about a year.

Not sure mate, its daves motor running around 250bhp, its not officially up for sale yet so if your intersted get in contact with him. Have a look on rtoc.org Might be able to find more info on there. User name TorsionTuning

They are both having work done...gradually. The Blue clio 16v is up for sale too.

matt your inbox is full mate

thats what i did, found a whole car off rtoc. Beware of just dropping it in tho, there will always be hidden costs when they take it out. Small parts can be expected tho, its a over 15yr old car. Ive gone straight for the rebuild with cam, headwork, lightened & balanced bottom end, uprated...

07949 473317 - Dave @ Torsion tuning. Theyve done 14 gtt conversion into clios and are based near witham in Kelvedon, so not far from you mate. Matt16v - mine is in there at the moment, ask the question again in a few weeks ;-) For a straight swap r5gtt into clio will be 1200 basic. Dave

speak to rochford tyres near you

In my ph1 rt there is a lift up flap and clock where the 16v/willy have the 3 guages in the middle. Is there a plate that replaces this with 3 guage holes cut out? Sure ive seen 1 somewhere. Dave
