Quite a few places can fit the time the 197 cams correctly. Alex @ AW motorworks in Essex can fit time the 197 cams. EFI is the worth the distance- travel (432 mile round trip for me) I live near Southampton and had my 172 mapped there.

Whereabouts are you based? EFI is the best place for mapping imo.

IIRC his parents fund his cars/ lifestyle.

Mine did the same so I just super glued them back together.

Chris @ EFI is worth travelling the distance. I had my 172 mapped there, and I live near Southampton (430 mile round trip)

Somethings not right then. Have the garage fitted and timed 197 cams before?

Maybe, my car had a generic RS tuner 98 Ron map, and all was good. 197 cams and 7 degrees (before mapping) idle.

Somethings not right. I had 197 cams timed up to 7 degrees, and the car ran fine and the idle was good (apart from being lumpy due to the cams) on the long drive up to EFI for mapping.

Yes mate, she’s well used!

Not a great deal in it between 197 cams and GrpN timing power wise, but iirc you can’t get a clio to pass emissions test with GrpN timing, whereas you can with 197 cams. I have 197 cams fitted and mapped at EFI to my 172, and it made another 15bhp.

Cheers Oli, she’s now on 161,000 odd.

As above, my ezi bleed kit worked fine with my Clio 172.

Mine hasn’t changed a lot, as I tend to keep my cars for a long time (forever) December 2005 Clio 172 which I still own. Toyota Hilux purchased July 2009, still own. Fabia VRS bought December 2010, still own. BMW M2, 2017, still own.

I dread to think what I have spent on my Clio 172, I’ve owned it for 14 years now!
