Im looking into selling my car to fund a round the world trip before i go to University,
Its an Early 1993 3 door K reg 1.4RT
Metallic Blue, Manual, Electric Windows, Color-coded bumpers, Remote Central Locking,
Mot Till – 20th of March 2004, (would be sold with 12 Months)
Taxed till –...
i tightened the driveshaft up well and the suspention is secure at the top, i didnt undo the large nut on the tracker arm so i think thats ok. The new hubs bearings are fine but i guess that it may be slightly bent, i going to give renault a ring tomorrow to find out if their are any different...
The top of the wheel slants into the arch, I had the tracking set but the wheel is riding on one edge instead of on the entire base of the tyre
I needed to take the tracking arm off the hub when i removed it, i did have a lot of trouble lining up the top of the hub and the suspension mount...
Did all phase one 1.4Rts have the same wheel hubs ??
I have just replaced a hub on my car which i picked up from a scrap yard that came off a J reg 1.4RT, i think it was a 5 door, I put the hub onto my K reg 3 door RT and now my wheel is pointing at a funny angle,
Anybody got any ideas
cheers
Cheers for that, Im a bit more confident to give it a go now,
Will the 1/2" breaker bar be strong enough ?
I had a little go with one yesterday and it felt as if the 1/2" breaker bar was going to give way before the driveshaft nut ?
I think i will end up taking it to a garage but i still may give it a go, i planned to take the wheel off, its just that the nut is on so tight that the whole hub moves when i try to loosen it,
Have you got any flames yet ??
Are you using a de-Cat with it ?
The wheel bearing in one of my wheels hubs has gone so instead of going to the trouble of buying new bearing etc i am going to change the hub instead.
Has any body ever removed the wheel hub from their car ?
How much work is involved ??
Ive already had a look at my hub and it seems that a...
One of my front wheel bearings has gone and ive been offered a hub which i can just replace the original with.
Has anybody removed the wheel hub before, have you got any tips,
do you need to lock the hub in place before the driveshaft retaining nut is removed ??
Can you loosen the...
cheers for that, i had a read of that just after i posted, im going to get it looked at on wednesday so ill find out then. its just its always better to go in with a good idea of whats wrong so you dont get ripped off :)
Ive had a quick read on some past posts and im 90% sure that one of my wheel bearings has gone.
The car is making a humming sound from the front and the humming gets louder when i turn right and stops when i turn left, Is this the front right bearing ?
the only reason i am doubting that it...
I had a side exit exhaust on my 1.4RT and it sounded amazing. I thought that i had sold it but after agreeing the price the blokes just vanished ?
have a look and send me a PM if your interested...
what would be a decent price for a 16V with a willy lump already in and running ??
Ive just seen one on auto trader
RENAULT CLIO 1.8 16v, M
reg. Metallic Silver, 20 16V Williams engine, lowered suspension, Dimma petrol cap, speck R bits insides, alloys, drivers airbag, e/windows, remote...
You may of seen on the for sale forum (PLUG, PLUG) that im selling an exhaust that was fitted to my RT. Could anybody tell me if this will fit onto a 16V ?
I dont think that bore is an issue, its just going to be if the lengths are the same and weather the brackets off my exhaust match up to...
has anybody ever got flames with the Cat still on.
Ive got a side exit exhaust that pops like a rally car but havent seen any flames yet. I guess ill have to lower my wing mirror a bit more to get a proper look
Im about to start taking some bits off my car cus im going to sell it, If its to your taste ive got a side exit exhaust if your interested ? Its stainless steal and attatches onto the cat.
Its on an RT at the moment
I read somewhere when someone wanted to put a 21 engine in a renault 19 that you couldnt do it because the engine sits sideways, anyone know if this is true ??
you can get around 260BHP out of a calibra turbo engine, i dont think their would be many cars that could match the power to weight ratio,
actually, what sort of cars would give a 260 break nova a decent race ??
Lanky_mos, i think i will be looking for something like a 1.0 nova, even cheaper.
Rob fenn, mine is a 1.4, im 18 with no no claims, its fully comp and im paying 1044. It was by far the cheapest quote i got and the engine thing was something they told me about after when i asked about declaring...
Finally after all that abuse i get the answer i was looking for, cheers. But one final question,
Would it be possible to tell the 16V shell and the RT shell apart if it werent for the Vin plates and engine bay layouts ?
I havent actually got a 16V it was a theoretical question. Ok, a final question.
When does your car stop becoming what is says on the registration ?
Once youve changed the engine, wheels, bodywork, interior and colour is that still the same car that you started with ?
My handbags red mate, And its got a big brick in it so watch out.
I dont really care, i think its alrite to give abuse as long as your willing to take it back
batesyboy id never normally sl*g someone off, and you have sort of apologised, but
who the Fu#K are you
I was only askin cus i thought that what the woman at the insurance company said might of been wrong and i didnt want to go slamming loads of stuff on my car only to find out i have to pay...
its with liverpool victoria who when they said "you can do any mods you want"
A supprised me said "what even a 2.0 engine conversion"
They said " yes, as long as you photograph the evidence and keep all the reciepts.
My insurance company said that i can perform any engine mods, body work, lowering etc without raising the cost of my insurance. As long as i take photos of the work done i can do anything i want.
I wanted to put a valver engine in but then i thought why not just by a valver. I would but then...
With the freedom now presented by insurance companies to perform engine conversions, body kits etc without the need for decleration how far can you go without breaking the law ??
Lets say i have my standard RT and a 16V sitting in my gaurage at home. For a cheaper insurance policy i am insured...
