I've assumed that the comment I read was regarding a Renault V6, for some odd reason (probably as I've been looking at doing this on my Mi16) I thought it may have been a Peugeot engine that'd been used. The Clio engine is quite large for an average 2 litre. Regards

Ah, but does it? Many people think that the 205 is small, engine-bay wise, but a V6 from a 406 coupe will go in there; it's very tardis-like, but without the pear-shaped-headed freak they call Billy Piper. And why? Because they want to. Regards ps - yes, I still would. pps - the "Watch...

On the negative: I haven't done it on a Clio, but I have had it done to a few other cars, and whilst the gain is impressive you have to concede that, and in spite of what some people say, there is a negative effect on reliabilty. It's obvious, 50bhp more has to come at a price. On the...

What choo talkin' 'bout?

Have I mis-read this somewhere or is it possible to put a V6 in the front of a 172 Clio??? Regards

As you same, and in basic terms, torque is acceleration, bhp is top speed. It is more complicated than that, however, in the context of this conversation people should pay attention to the point where most torque is produced. Also, the point where most torque is produced is also the point...

Tip - warm up the oil first, it'll pour much quicker, meaning you won't have to stomach the horrible stench any longer that you actually need to!! Regards

Ha-Ha, I've been rumbled!!! :D The Mi16 is being sold, mainly because I'd gone as far as could go without having to spend SILLY money. Similar kind of car to the 172, but the Clio is perfectly useable every day, the Mi16 (with the suspension I had) was not. The black Evo is for sale on...

I have gone for Konis and Eibachs too, I believe this to be a good 'middle-ground' between standard and the serious uprated stuff. I need to use the car with that set-up before deciding if the expensive stuff is worth the jump, it's only until you get to the likes Ohlins/Proflex (this is only my...

Len Spoke to Andy @ Yozzasport - 20 minute conversation later and the brakes, suspension, bushes and exhaust are all sorted. Nice guy, he's only 30 minutes away, and he knew his stuff too. Thanks for the help. Regards

Hi Eibach generally do good kit (very common on Integrales) so it's no surprise to see their name amongst the various options, and similarly no surprise to hear Gaz mentioned amongst the 'not so good' options. :D I know the owner of Ohlins UK, through the company that look after my Delta...

Hi The intention is probably to strip it for the track, and as I've been spoilt by having 356mm AP's on my Delta, I'm of the belief that you can never have enough brakes!! :D I will end up modifying the engine too, but I was going to just 'hover' around for a few weeks and see what other...

Hi Apologies if this topic has been done to death, but I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd ask. What's the general concensus on brake upgrades for the 172? Are uprated pads/discs 'man enough' for the job, or are there off-the-shelf callipers that are easy to get hold of/fit? Regards

Hi Apologies if this topic has been done to death, but I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd ask. Basically, what's the best suspension to put on the 172 (it's a 2000 car if that helps)......? I'm not bothered with harshness or a compromised ride, I have an Integrale too so in comparison the...
