Anyone had any luck getting an aftermarket fuel guage to work off the standard pump unit in a Mk2? Not been having much luck at the moment

What voltage are the standard SMD's in the dash rated for? Just need to work out what resistors I need to use to power them from a 12V source

Is there a way to get the coolant temperature guage working with nonstandard engine wiring / sender? I have got a standard dash, uch and loom all the way through to the engine loom (so up to the big white block connector with the underbonnet relays/fuses), and want to try and drive the guage...

Anyone on here?

Apart from the better feel, is there any reason why RS models use a hydraulic power steering setup instead of electric like the rest of the range? Considering the options for the new car, how easy would it be to wire up the electric power steering from a 1.2 into a car without a complete loom...

You may be aware im putting the F7R based engine from my current car into a Mk2 shell. As it was on a Mk1 it had a high pressure motorsport fuel pump, a fuel rail with return to the tank and a PRV set to keep 3bar fuel pressure in the rail. Now when it goes into the Mk2 the stock pump...

How good are Brembo Max discs compared with standard ones, as the standard ones look pretty good to start with. Will be using Wilwood 4 pots with them, and I dont mind which discs I use, but I already have a couple of pairs of decent standard discs and dont want to ditch them if there isnt...

Anyone know if anyone does an uprated bush for the rear beam?

Was this engine fitted to an espace? What sort of power did it make in that spec, 140bhp?

...is a set of these

First on my research list are rollcages. I need to know what cages are available for a 172 with these requirements: Weld-in Forward triangulation to front struts Door bars Harness bar would be nice nice but not absolutely required (can put on afterwards) Fillets to the A-Pillar would...

So... decided to build a new rally car. Going to use the engine and gearbox from my Mk1 and put it into a Mk2 shell. Not done much so far, but in no rush. Got hold of this bargin; 1.2 16V 2001. Lightly rolled but more or less absolutely ok. Was going to use this as a base and put a new...

Anyone ever fitted twin pot rear brakes? Looking round for some, i think Alcon do some I can get to fit but want to see if there are any others around. They still need to have a cable handbrake lug aswell; damn those Construction and Use regs ;)

Been on the lookout for a cheap replacement for my Clio II project cars wing mirror...... I just realised today that the wing mirror on my Missus' old shape megane is the spitting image of the one on my 182 road car. Anyone know if they are actually the same, including the actual fixing...

Is it just me, or is it slightly ironic that this seller describes this 182 alloy as an ideal spare wheel :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clio-182-Alloy-Wheel_W0QQitemZ290160876069QQihZ019QQcategoryZ10410QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Are there any differences between a Ph1 172 shell and a normal Ph1 clio shell? And similary are there any differences between a Ph2 182 shell and a normal Ph2 clio shell?

How feasible is it to put a Williams type engine into 172? Basically I am wondering if it is going to be possible to put my Williams derived engine + sadev gearbox from my PhI rally car into a PhII shell

Does anyone know if its possible to get a right hand drive, power steering quick rack for a phase 1 clio? Or a conversion kit for an existing rack? Havent been able to find one for a right hand drive car so far.

The part number for the 16V steering rack is different to the part number for the Williams rack.... does anyone know why this is. It cant just be beacause of the minimal extra track width can it?

For those that dont often visit the mechanical section have a look at the 240bhp rally clio project...

Finally made a bit of progress on the car. Engine is in and currently doing wiring, fuel pipes and little fiddly bits. Pictures so far linked below. Any comments or questions just post them here. Ill try and keep this thread updated as much as possible...

Thought id post a couple of pics of our new engine destined for our phase 1 clio rally car. Basically it is a Sodemo engine, throttle bodies, cosworth pistons, steel crank, titanium valves, lightened flywheel etc, all in a little 2 litre 16V lump. Will be bolted onto a Sadev 6 speed sequential...

Anyone got any ideas of a suspension set up I could use for the front of our phase 1 Clio 16V/Williams rally car. Some of the events are a little rough for your average fast road application and was wondering if anyone here had any experience of anything a bit more substantial. They must...
