No reason why it shouldn't.

Ok. I can't find the link pipe for sale. Is it miltek only?

 

[Siliconsteve]

OK I'm having serious thoughts on not doing this now. I bought Clio as a third car but I haven't driven it in a week. done a thousand miles in last ten weeks. so thinking maybe better off making it better as it is IE b14 s etc. only nagging thing in my mind is gearbox needs replacing so half way to doing conversion anyway .
