That is a fair size plate mate, 200 mm is the common but i upgraded both clutch and flywheel to 215mm.. Big and strong enough to take 220 bhp im only running 180 bhp with my rich mod ecu,filter and exhaust...:cool: So does any one know if i have to change my coloum aswell as the rack ?

Hmm, would a manual rack bolt direct in place of my power steering one, or would i have to change the coloum or possibly the sub frame ?

still need ideas on power steering people, any help would be great.. ;)

Yup, going for sum 15" laguna steels painted gloss black, lowered 60mm a good polish and clean and prob get the door step painted as it has a few chips on it appart from that it's gonna be bulk standard inside and out.. Best way is a sleeper, no one expects a 1.4 rt to move like this baby does...

Hi all I have a mk2 1.4 rt clio on a s plate and i have just fitted my volvo turbo lump in and got it running.. My main concern is i need some better brakes as i don't think my small front disc's and rear drums are going to stop 170 bhp... Is there any easy up grade for the front, maybe like...

Honest i did, bought a 480 with a private plate still on it for £10, i would have never gone on the road the drivers inner wing was the corroded the chassis rail snapped in half, the rear quarter panels where that rotten u could see the floor when u was sat in the back lol.. Best place for it...

Well as for progress, not much.. had a major head ache with fly wheel issues and then i snapped my tdc sensor wires clean off... Fitted new subframe bolts and painted the manifold, sent me ecu away for the rich mod, should see 170 at the fly... Now just waiting for my fly wheel and ecu to turn...

At first i was thinking about putting it into a 3 door rsi but then i thought every one's done that so i thought i'd make a 4 door sleeper instead. This way no one suspects a thing untill ya smoke em lol..

Any one..

Sssssshhhhhhhhh, Be quiet... Can't say stuff like that just yet.. lol

Hi people.. I'm doing a conversion on my mk 2 clio to a volvo turbo lump, I want to keep it total standard sleeper look but as it's only a 1.4 rt on a s plate the wheels arnt really wide or big enuf for decent grip.. I want to keep steel wheels as i want it to look standard so was wondering...

About 160 bhp with my rich mod ecu, you could go more but i dont see the point as the car aint rally geared up to take much more, i mite give it a 50 bhp shot of nos lol.. That's all i wanted, cheap fast sleeper... :rasp:

Yes it's the 1.7 ohc 8 v engine b18ft lump... Well the wires on the sensor are just plain old wires so i doubt that they are measured on resistance, thing is i didn't want to tidy all the loom up and then find out it wont read the correct speed and have to pull all those wires out again that...

Does any one know if it matters if i extend the speed sensor wires, i extended them about 30 cm, the wires were just ordinary wires nothing special about them i extended them by about 30 cm and soldered all joins and heat shrunk them all up.. Will this be ok...

Some people say they are the same and a few others have said they wont fit... Looking at it it looks very similar to the volvo one and even has the same cut outs for the sensor pick up... The chap that sold it to me runs a engine managment company and claims it will fit perfect and has been...
