    CLIO 172 AND 182 CYLINDER, HEAD INTAKE MANIFOLD DIFFERENCES

    Lower inlet manifolds are the same physical unit, except R S stamped ones are slightly better finished with better flowing ports (from the 182 - but I don't think all 182s had them!) Upper inlet manifolds are the same in terms of flow but the breather setup is slightly different where it...

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Oh that might be a shout as it's huge!! It's probably getting garaged until next year now as I've just been pissing money at the cars the last few months and I need a few months to calm! We had the tunes banging the full way down and back up again!!

    Renault Main dealer done it to my Mrs on a 1.6 16v MK2, destroyed the wheel bearing, wheel bolts and stub axle! They footed the bill after a bit of back and forward!!

    Removing seized wishbone bolt

    Two techs are a rip off

    THIS I don't understand why you would post a thread up like this, slating a well regarded specialist because you didn't like the price they quoted you, meaning any time someone searches their name, this is what comes up.

    Windscreen panels

    The scuttle panel just under the wipers that covers the heater motor? It just clips on and is held in place with a pin on the left hand side, a tab on the right hand side and the rubber bonnet seal

    K4M RS Intake straight fit?

    The inlet ports should be the same spacing as I'd imagine the blocks are similar, depending on what age your current k4m is it will have either a cable throttle at the rear of the inlet, an electronic throttle at the rear of the inlet or an electronic throttle at the right hand side of the inlet...

    Clio reverse position

    Put the gearbox into first (using the same method you currently are - by lifting the gate), loosen the 13mm linkage nut under the car and disconnect it from the gearbox without pulling the box out of gear. Have someone hold the gear knob roughly where you think first gear should be (let me...

    Clio RS 200 cup Rev limit

    Mine was hitting the limiter at bang on 7k with a thermostat failure. 7250 was the 172/182 rev limiter, the 197 and 200 are 7500, they don't hit peak power to 7250rpm according to the specs from Renault. Remember most RR operators won't go to the limiter if they have started to see power tail off

    Clio RS 200 cup Rev limit

    I think the 2 guys above might want to check their thermostats 🫣

    Clio RS 200 cup Rev limit

    Yes, standard rev limit is 7500rpm, if it's coming in at 7000rpm and you have been driving for 30 mins or so then your correct, thermostat likely requires replacement. I'd fit a genuine one as the last couple of gates ones I've had have failed prematurely by actually breaking up
