oh i know what it is, but what type of ignition? got a part number or linky?

Lol, I'll join the group very soon I think! My engine is almost like this at the moment:
(not that nice and shiny by the way...I'll make it fit first, and then i'll probably refurbish the hole car...)

I might have some questions during the time...Mind answering?:P

You got the 1.7 radiater isn't it? Did you use the original fueltank, or used something like benneth did?

The insurance on my car is the same now with two years no claims as it was when i learnt to drive in it as a 1400 at 17 so all in all its not too bad.
Plus it would cost me more to insure the clio as a standard car compared to mine totally declared with brakes suspension etc.

Lol, indeed...Plus you got rwd now!!

I luckely got a big discount on my clio ensurance with my work. 225 instead of something like 1200 euro's.

My MK1 costs me about 80 euro's a year though...Thats a lot less:P Plus it's tax/MOT-free

Excellent work!

Is the propchaft the stock one?

How much power are that engine doing? Have you measured it?

Wow, you've done some fantastic work there! Great job!

Yep running standard prop and it gets abused, i think the biggest problem is people who cant fit them properly!!
Estimate is around the 150BHP mark but havent had chance to get it on the dyno at uni yet!!
Adam

How is the best way to fit it?

Fit it on splines at engine end and knock it forward until it will fit on splines gearbox end then knock it towards gearbox until it stops not until its only just on, this way i have never had any probs. My plan is to use stock propshaft until i break it, although logic would say you should break traction before you break the prop!!
Adam

Thanks for the description


Btw, do you have any times taken? Or videos..

Ah yes, I can see where that 10bhp will come from.....I bet you have a K&N...'zorst....what about a power resistor of justice? Just pulling ya leg chap

cheers
