Wind defectors
Clio 182 injectors

How much are you wanting for the OE springs? assuming you'll only sell as a set?
& do the rears come with any of the rubber mounts?

 

[mikehealy5]

Rubber mounts....... now that's a good question, I will have to have a look when I get home. Can't remember 100% if I have.
Make me an offer for them mate or pm me if you like.

 

[flowerpowerdave]

So you let it go with the no box exhaust?

 

[mikehealy5]

Yeah it had a Stright through mate but only had a couple if hours at the garage to strip it and I had a million other things to remove. Only cost £150 custom made in the 1st place and its been on the car at least two years.

 

[flowerpowerdave]

stainless or mild steel? seen your induction set up on a car on facebook.

 

[mikehealy5]

Just mild steel mate. 5yr grantee was good enough for me as i know i wouldn't keep it that long lol

Yeah the lad i sold it to is now selling up too.

 

[flowerpowerdave]

started modding the Astra yet? put some pics up if poss.

 

[flowerpowerdave]

hi mike, been all over the place searching for a race tube, like what you had on twingo but no luck so far, found a place selling a straight throo pipe for a mk2 clio, what do you think, will it be ok same floorpan in both cars? which garage did yours if you dont mind me asking, cheers mate.

 

[mikehealy5]

Custom auto fabrications in Blackpool did mine mate.
I'd say just take it to an exhaust specialist and get them to make it custom rather than bodge one from another car. Mine was 2" cat back and sounded mint with the odd pop on lifting off.

 

[flowerpowerdave]

cheers mate..

Hi mate - sorry to revive an old thread... but your induction set up - where did you get the piping at the size?

Also, fmic, how?
