hey all,
my little 1.2 clio has decided to break, well the gearbox has.
i was planning to sell it and buy a new car however this has happened.
is it worth spending the £££ to get the gearbox fixed? or do i just spend more £££ which i had saved and drop a 182 or 172 engine, gearbox etc in...
driving home from the gym and got half way home when i heard a series of loud CLACKS, thats the only word to describe it,
only occurs when i put my foot on the accelerator, more revs louder clacks, then when i reached a roundabout and put my foot down on the clutch it cut out completely leaving...
driving back from work in pissed off mood as charli would know anyway.
hit a pot hole BAM gearstick now laying horizontal and gears work but a b**ch to change.
get home find this!
engine mount bolt under the car has snapped clean off.
as its sunday no garages open. got work at 5am...
when driving why is it my engine cuts out then kicks back in.
does it every now and then.
im guessing its electrical as everything dies including radio.
plz?
when im driving around town the noises are non existant however.
when going down the motor way they occur and then from then on its stays until rested over night.
hig pitch squeel appears to come from passenger side wheel maybe?
really LOUD when window open however shuts up when clutch is...
would you expect to pay out for all this?

would the power be good or a 172/182 better?
im borrowing a m8ts clio 172 alloys atm instead of my 17" and i prefer em soooo much. look better and grip loads more.
so i want a set of 16" or would u go 15"?
and how wide is the most i can go without arch work?
7.5?
also whats the ET of my car? and the limits i can go plus or minus?
Clio...

in the centre of the dash is that stupid clock.
i wanna remove it and put a digital speedo init.
obviously il need to custom make housing etc.

what works involved how can i do it?
cheers.
fit my front coilovers today and slammed it on its arse. cud only fit 4 fingers under front bumper.
however i couldnt turn the wheel lol. so i had to raise it up.
i loved the look of it that low.
anything i can do to keep it that low without it scrubbing like mad?
15" with low profile tyers...
getting coilovers fitted but wanna get my wheels laser aligned so the tracking is sorted etc,
however i went to get it done and they said i need to know what it needs to be set up as so they can configure it into the computer.

question is.... do i fit em today?? or....
do i wait till after crimbo when i get new alloys and put my seats in and paint the interior?

cheers.
right firstly,
ive got coilovers to fit shud i buy the camber correcting bolts from k-tec?

also...
whenever i get my tracking done always seems to be out. i did have a seized track rod end so im gunna buy 2 new ones both side.
n e 1 no where i can get em from and...
just bought a new set of coilovers.
wanna check sumit.
do i adjust em to the setting i want before or after fitting?
if after fitting i guess i adjust it in the air not the floor?
and if i need to adjuist at a later date do i have to clean em well first?
