I priced up a starter motor while my engine was out, decided against it then 4 weeks later had to roll about on the floor trying to replace the starter, I will never refit an engine to a 2.0 Clio without replacing an old starter.

Wouldn't chase power on it as it's just a lot of money for not a lot of gian. As standard it should have a cat on the exhaust manifold and a cat under the car, you can get a Mégane exhaust manifold that doesn't have a cat, that frees up a bit of power and makes it rev more freely. Also...

Biggest benefit to going ph2 for me is the LED headlights, once your used to a car with LED headlights it's hard to go back! Maybe it's just my eyes getting old! I believe the facelift cars all got the revised gearbox software similar to the trophy too?

Thats the springs i run on my RSI, 16s: 15s: They are strangely really comfortable! i think the ride is better than it was standard!, doesnt handle great right enough :ROFLMAO:

Bit more work today!, Those who have probably seen my other post in the suspension section... I tried to do a suspension refresh on it, as I've done with all my other 172s - Ive already got a brand new set of rear 172 cup ones for it that i ordered a few years ago and never got round to fitting...

I have emailed them to check but I'm not sure if Kam do the same as some other places where they list them then place the order with the dealer once an order is placed.

Went to do a suspension refresh on my PH1, as I've done many times on previous cars and have come up against a brick wall that i didn't expect!. Ive already got a pair of rear 172 cup dampers that i ordered last year, Noticed the genuine front 172 cup dampers were out of stock at RPD, checked...

ive had 3 tuned ones now, all running around 160lb/ft - one had a slipping the clutch the other 2 didnt, so i think its safe to say if the clutch is in good condition they are fine around that torque figure. not sure about going any further.

Awesome as always, im a big fan of the black plastic spoiler, especially after a coating with some trim restorer! even though colour coding was all the rage many moons ago!

Seen it happen when they develop a fault, check the power as said above to make sure it's not a loose connection. Second hand units are cheap if required. Could try flashing the latest software onto it and see if it cures it

Some good CS memories from this car! "i shouldn't have chased the Caterham" "your tyres are like sparking" also got pinched at one point iirc?
