my black clio 172

Some good news: basicaly got of the phone to the mechanic doin my timing belt and dephaser he found that the timing was nOt set propally from the previous replacment . He says the car should run alot better once its done so im glad to hear that :)
 
Mine was the same when the guys at Birchdown changed it. Renault dealer was the last to do it as well. Car ran loads better at low revs after. Before it used to cut out all the time.

Glad you're happy with it, and i'm loving the wheels.
 
Had my car back from the mechanic last night had all the belts and stuff done. Its like a new car ! The timing was out by a tooth on the exhaust cam! The car feels so much better ! And the pure motorsport top
Mounts are brilliant ! Turning response is amazing ! Next is a polybush dogbone mount . And anti roll bar bushes .
 
hi bud how much is she lowered by i want to lower mine but i dont no how low i like urs it sits nice

it does have a caf dude got some tubing goin behind the headlight and down towards the floor , it does sound epic with out the caf i must say
 
noice :) the black and white works really well.

how you finding the pipercross viper kit? when i had mine i found that when the revs where up from 4/5k ish it sounded nice but under that it was flat sounding and i also though that it made mine feel more sluggish?

what are your views on the pure motorsport top mounts?
 
Hey dude.
The viper sounds epic when your in the top of the rev range but like you said it is a bit flat . I wouldnt knownany diffrence in performance wise as it came with the car .

As for the top mounts mate the best mod i have done mate transformed the feel of the car even made
My floaty gaz coilovers feel a little bit more aggressive . I wish i gOt the strut brace aswell but il be purchasing that in the new year .

Cheers for looking dude

Nice, I do like this :)

What's your opinions on the gaz coilovers dan? Good to hear about the top mounts. Like you im going to wait till new year and hopefully make some nice changes to the car. Definitely getting the top mounts, and I did see the strut brace also but is it like the rear where it doesn't really do much?
 
Cheer mate :) umm no the strut brace isnt like the others around this one does make a diffrence so im
Told . As for the gaz coilies most people slate them
On here but i cant see a problem with them i think the reliability on them isnt to good as ive seen people needing refurbs after 5,000 miles but obviously thats down to how hard you thrash your car etc, but a full refurb for them
Is under 150 pounds and they will come back brand new . Also have a good adjustable damping system alot of settings to tweek with . But overall dude i dont see a problem with them.
 
I must admit I went out in a clio with gaz's in recently and I was pleasantly surprised on how comfy they were. Yes they are slated on here but I've been in a few cars that have them too and never found a problem. Like you said they have adjustable damping and brand new the price is very good (£540ish iirc) like you said it all comes down to how hard you drive, but as its my daily it won't getting thrashed about all the time round track do I don't see the problem.

Well like I said the top mounts will be in order for sure, but will have to read up on the strut brace I think. Even if it does bugger all, it does look good lol :)
 
Ye they are well priced ! Fred at btm told me the strut brace was a good addition to the solid top mount set up . I still need a proper geo set up to get the handling spot
On ! And some decent tyres . Thinking about paradas but i had them
On my vts and they wer rubbish in the rain . We shall see in the new year got to get the car ready fornshow season :)
