My box has totally gone i think :( booked in at renault tommorow and ive not driven her since last sunday. Its been a pain for a while sometimes not going into 2nd. I was driving a bit hard down a country lane, im sure the top end power just wasnt there as usual, tried to select 3rd accelerating...

quads dont suit clios in my opinion, get an escort cosworth to go wiv em. can any1 photoshop i kinda eyebrow / bonnet extension thats not slanted, about 15mm in width parralel to the top of the light. i reckon that would look ok. (ie just make the light thiner, galant style.

nice, i always thought that was a drop of water that i could never dry.

Thanks alot Nick :) Im from Blackpool chris.

tried the box, it made a difference but took it off after a month or so. Its impossible to accurately tell changes in performance without controlled tests i.e. rolling road but there was definately more low down power with the box. Without the box the 4.5k powerband was more noticable. Without...

Lambda? me? Worth a try as ir just screws in doesnt it (apart from soldering wires), my last 1 got dirty when i had a new exhaust (last car) causing it to fail on emisions. All these sensors are obviously good but they are annoying, I disconnected mt air temp sensor whilst idling - no...

coupled with the cold weather has instantly improved performance. Smoother and consistantly fast and responsive which before was a rare occasion if ever as rapid! Got a K&N IK which came with the car in may. Im also in the middle of making a box to surround the filter so only air from the intake...

Weight, thats very nice. Im currently making an intake along those lines but was going to make a fiberglass duct to replace ma foglamp. what size is that ducting youve got, 6.3mm? Ive thought of getting some silicon hose at about £40 / meter. that flexiduct looks perfect, a trip to #halfords is...

nice plan myky16, do you get towed home for running out of petrol? would make AA more value for money. I try to drive economically but then the car whispers funny things like just a few more revs you know you love the noise.

Sounds familiar.....wheres my hair gone??

Dont obviously need tonsils but I heard they are used to fight disease when ure a baby. Dunno about apendix, think its just an organ partition.

Well, been for a quick drive after picking it up and so far so good with the gear changing so well chuffed (Id prob be out driving now but no tax till tommoz). Now hopefully the speradic slug syndrome is down to hot air and a dirty IK, once thats sorted everything else is bearable (cracked arch...

I have too say I ripped out my tumble dryer piping this morning as clios been at Renault today and I was 2 embarresed with the cheap, bodge look style. Im sure it made the engine feel smoother, perhaps was the change in sound, but thinking about it I took it for a spin earlier and it did feel a...

LOL @ BenP Yeah, Black with Porka or Brembo written in White, or, white wid black writing?:)

if anything could just cause unnoticable extra drag. I connected alumnium tumble dryer exhaust type tubing as you can manipulate the ends to fit through the gaps to the side of the radiator in the 2 front grills, I had to cut a plastic guard off 1st though (runs down side of radiator). Doesnt...

Not tried but was thinking of replacing 1 of my fog lights with some and getting an air intake going. noticed B&Q have shed loads of the stuff - for plastering or something, prob cheaper than sepciallised stuff and looks quite good.

hopefully! just remembered, a few weeks ago i overtook a few cars then slowed down and noticed ma speedo dropped to 0 for half a sec then worked again, thinking back i thought i must have glanced at ma rev counter. Was driving today and when i floor it the speedo drops to 0 around 50 mph, as i...

Please teel me this probably isnt a knacked gear box. After thinking I had a problem with engine mounts turned out to be bottom ball joint which was replaced and car alot smoother now :) apparently the gear box stabaliser bar is exesively worn so booked in to change this next week. Im having...

Nice

Did someone somewhere say they had a thermometer wired up to check intake temp with display on dash? is this easy? any suggestions on where to route the wire through the bulkhead, wired up an amp in last clio and was ballache to get the power lead through. might visit halfords if not too hard.

Agree on the karts, apparently can lap faster than a fomula ford round silverstone. Motorbike weight with 4 wheels. nice.

bonnet vent looks nice, not tacky as expected. It does seem as if the bulkhead pipe would suck away from the engine to help intake through the front, is it used aswell as the bonnet vent for exhaust? need that maxi.

Pic didnt work, heres one (downloaded from this forum I think): http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1058984419__need_this_look.jpgYou have to upload you image here : http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/index.phphttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/index.php then click that tree piture up...

This is getting far too drawn out, left it at the garage for the day and he reckons its probably not the mounts more like the gear box!! he used to have a renault 19 and says he had the same problem so i think theyll of just had a quick check over with this in mind as i didnt have to pay any...

Mine came with 17s, 4 tyres cost me £300!! Once Ive sorted the niggly bits on mine Im gonna look into some 2nd hand original 15s...Would this be taking a step back in handling performance? The likes of Max Power would say the bigger the better but Im not sure this is always the case. Either way...

I like it on my 16v too, authentic style.

I was kinda thinking along those lines nick, Ive got to put the idea on the backburner till my engine mounts are replaced ~(hopefully tommorow) and just noticed something nasty looking today under the bonnet - bothe the suspension turrets are sitting about 1/2 inch higher than they should be, 1...

lateral thinking, have you tried that? or could kinda roll out the sides of the bonnet to create a bulge over the wheels for air to escape.

I think on a williams that is actually the metal recycling bay, you can deposit both magnetic and non magnetic cans in there but no lead, the next time you get a replacement part from renault the scrap metal value will be deducted from the part cost. I have looked up the Williams secret hints...

ok cheers derv and co, how would that work? mines phase 2.
