The 16v dont have wider track. Only the willy so just use the 16v parts.

The 1.4 shafts prob will fit and be ok. But if you have the 16v bits they are tried and tested.

I hope your right Dave!

Are you sure its not a bit wider what with the arches and all? Even if its just slightly longer wishbones. We should look into that!

Nah tis in the bin. I want to get the car weighed.

Just decided to go out and do summat, bored.com! lol

Chris_Cliomk1 · Apr 17, 2008

does this actually affect the weight of the car?? and how the hell dya get it out?

Beaniemoo · Apr 17, 2008

Good job!!! Do love to see people saving weight as well as striving for more power the 2 should go hand in hand IMO. When I stripped the sound deadening out of the valver i weighed it and it weighs around 9kg.

Keep up the good work.

ClaneO · Apr 17, 2008

keep up the good work lads

Yeah, i think it saves a few Kg, big power with little weight is the idea here.

Using a heat gun and wall paper scraper. :0

how easy is it to get a clio to sub 900kgs?

would be looking at power/weight ratio of around 150bhp+ then with a good 7p lump

Mark One · Apr 17, 2008

also interested in that tbh ^^

how much lighter are MK1s?

teabag · Apr 17, 2008

a valver weighs in at around 975-980kgs according to mr haynes manual

Djw Dave · Apr 17, 2008

Got busy with the tar and glue remover the day at work

Djw John · Apr 17, 2008

Not 100% sure on the weights but im trying to go as lean as i can but retain (most) of the dash.

Need to find a weigh bridge

Djw John · Apr 18, 2008
