Did they need much? i was looking into using modified polo 6N2 ones, i'd imagine these are pretty much the same coilovers?

Re: **WANTED** non info centre dials

Hi Lads,

Plan was to use a set when i go down the megasquirt route, just gathering info at the moment! i have infocentre in my 480 but thought that with installing a megasquirt ecu i'd lose the info centre and so would need another display for fuel / water temp, but maybe thats not so?

Re: WANTED: 480 Turbo

Hi folks, I've had a look round and there's nothing Renault wise! I was thinking on sticking to a volvo 480 1.7 turbo purely for the wiring and trying to retain the info centre, surely the wiring can't be that much different to the standard 1.7? Regardless I'll make it work, even if it is an arse of...

Cheers Alan 480, I just fancy doing something different! Haha a turbo swap still tempts me from time to time but I'm just unsure if I want boost, I like a good na car you can give a hoofing, and a 16v just gives you that little bit extra, plus the extra cc is nice, and then I could play with it, I'l...
