[thestig]

bet thell use the new motorbike size engine V8s they pull 300 BHP and are quite small. Manufactures such as Radical and Caterham are trying this out at the moment.

 

[RobFenn]

Sounds like hes been taking too many coffee breaks! Do they even make a V8 ?

 

[John V6]

Lorry engine ?

 

[Bryan]

il following tom with this one, its a lightweight, and very small engine in the lotus, and should fit in no problems, turbo version would be nicest

I think that could be the car that Kathy and Wayne are getting!!!

Hence the secrecy to ClioSport people!!

DM was you car making a knocking noise on corners? <ines in for that in January.

My local dealer has never had a V6 in for sale or service. Mechanic shat himself going out for a ride with me in the 172!

Mine makes a knocking noise on corners sometimes!!!! whats it mean?

I have checked on ACTIS for this problem, there is a fix for it, apparently the front shocks hit on the shocker turret, Reno recommend that the strut be removed and a modification is carried out to the strut top mount.

I have not heard about a V8 clio, but Im off to the Renault training centre in january will ask the lads and find out as much info as possible.

I gots to get myself one if they are available.

never heard of a v8 clio.there is a ti note regarding the shocker top mod mike.peice of piss to do and you dont even need to take the shockers off,just remove the shocker top nut and get in with an air tool(like a dremel type thing).easy hours bonus to make anyway.
