I thought it was that new road which connects to the 56, the one they were building for years. If you continue on down it you go past Deeside and Queensferry.

When you around Capenhurst next?

Think it's the Helsby junction on the M56. Nice Trendlines by the way Jamie! Spotted them the other morning, nice!

*Cough* http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/383713.htm

Sorry to see it like that though mate, it is a beauty of a car. I await the day you post pics of it with a 2.0!

And all that wishing you had a bigger engine.. karma on your side?

And : http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1119202.htm More sensible.

Cheers, noticed the cage to! Letting that person infront so you were behind was for you btw

jon_d_h · Jul 16, 2009

Gutted for you mate. Hope you get it sorted.

Shame

Should make a good project though

iimushroomzii · Jul 16, 2009

Just what the car needs mate! Get the F4R fitted!

Brett · Jul 16, 2009

Gutted mate. Get a 2.0 in there, look forward to seeing this car at a NW meet sometime.

A 106/306 Derv would do you well in the meantime.

You'll be waiting a while :rasp:

It's just insurance that's a pisser. I'd love a 306 DT but not sure I can afford it!

Leeshez · Jul 17, 2009

Unlucky lol.

Revels · Jul 17, 2009

Do what Dan said, buy a crashed one and swap bits over.

You don't have to do the engine if you don't feel confident, but the smaller things you can have a crack at yourself. Like you say, you've got plenty of time. Then sell whatever bits you don't need.

Maybe check the oil for you in future

BREMBO · Jul 17, 2009

Gutted mate, goodluck with the conversion

My 1.2 16v gave me a lot of problems, 1 at least a month

i want to say the usual, like oh noes how sad... but youre getting a 2.0l conversion so wheres the downside lmao

jamie

PS if youre selling it cheap, PM me yeah

Jamie · Jul 20, 2009

Someone else did this in a 182 and only fairly recently broke it (anyone remember), it was heavily moddified also.

I know yours isn't a Sport but I really don't know why they didn't come with a oil level, temperature and pressure guages.

Lol... they do! It's not that crap...

The oil light was coming on but only under 2k revs and I thought it was just pissing around, the computer said 'oil ok' and I checked it and it was fine. Like I said, no idea where it's gone!

Hutchie · Jul 20, 2009

lets stick a f4r - 830 in

megane 225 6 speed

No..... guages. Like in a Williams. Shows you a level! Not a light.

YorkshireDaz · Jul 20, 2009

-KarL- · Jul 20, 2009

they are off a megane ,nervasport alloys 17" ,

he stole the idea off me

:rasp:

cLio_T · Jul 20, 2009

Thanks for clearing that up. I really like them. If I decide to keep the car then I am going to make it into a 172 Replica with these wheels I am thinking?

-KarL- · Jul 20, 2009

yeah best looking 17" wheels for the Clio IMO

here is my old one

sorry for the spam Jamie

<3 x

It's alright, mine looks miles better anyway.

:butt:

cLio_T · Jul 20, 2009

Looks really well. It's just having the money to purchase them

Are these wheels expensive to buy new and are they difficult to get second hand? i.e. rare?

jesus · Jul 20, 2009

Pretty hard to find, I searched for months for a decent set. You'll get some for around £250, but the tyres won't fit so you'll have to buy some lower profile ones.

-KarL- · Jul 20, 2009

take a while to find i picked my set up for £150, they come up on ebay every so often, best bet is to check over on a megane forum or breakers yard

and as above you will need 205/40/17 tyres
