Thanks Adam.

Your car looks stunning btw. That's probably the kind of thing I'm going to go for once I've come back from Portugal with this!

How difficult is it to do a rear disc conversion?

Looks great man. Almost a dead ringer for mine!
Save for the paint, and interior colour.

Never had any trouble without PAS man. Theyre light enough to throw around without having to go to the gym first.

Hope you have fun doing the upgrade.

Forget the PAS. Fits a 1.4, but not a 1.7/1.8 16v. Tried that...Didn't work

1.7 = 75 bhp or something like that
1.8 16v = 138 bhp, but is quite easy to make it even quicker!

There are loads of engines to put in that bay, all C and F types of Renault engines will fit the enginemounts.

(and so does a clio sport 182 engine for instance!)
