I fitted a 220 intake (which is basically what the above kit mimics) and it did ‘feel’ different, but I didn’t get it dyno’d or mapped to tell. It was a genuine 220 intake and pipe, which I think someone on the bookface page can supply, or Renault themselves.
When I had mine I also bought a module from turkey off AliExpress, which you fit into the mirror wiring, so when you lock and unlock the car the mirrors fold like they do on later cars.
Also make sure you put a clamp around the bung on the intake pipe, there have been instances of them flying off and damaging the bonnet. (I say instances, I’ve read of 2 but wouldn’t want it happening!)
It removes some of the noise into the cabin, the fake induction noise, but has also been known to fix a noise from behind the dash.
I can vouch for the rear axle spacers from pure motorsport. Easy to fit and make a difference.
Some really good progress you’ve made and some good future proofing coming up. A ph1 gearknob was one of the nicest things I did to my 182, makes such a difference in look and feel. Such a shame Renault skimped on the ph2 gearknob!
There is enough movement in the hub downwards to make it relatively easy. I saw a method of putting a thin piece of metal in the gap, putting the bolt back in and tightening it to spread the gap.
I had H&R on my 200 and the ride was really decent. I’ve never had H&R on another car so can’t compare, but I was really impressed. They were £150 when I bought them early last year, but now they are a lot more expensive.
Yeah I think the software limits it to 1500 launches if I remember correctly.
A nice res and second cat delete would give a subtle change to exhaust note.
Excellent purchase. I noticed that one for sale and thought it was priced really well. Looks a nice car, a wheel refurb isn’t a major deal.
I am very jealous! 😔
It stops the confusion of the box at junctions but also speeds up the changes at slow speed, especially from cold. Although manual changes didn’t change I don’t think. I personally felt that it was much better but appreciate everyone has different perceptions.
@Daz. Tamworth Renault did it for me. Every other dealer I rang had no idea what I was talking about and didn’t seem interested in checking. Tamworth I believe had a tech that had one himself so was aware of the update.
It was in for a few hours and was like night and day afterwards.
Yes as has been said above the software can be put on the earlier models, but finding a dealer who knows about it can be a mission in itself. But it was 100% worth it for drive-ability. It cost about £70 from memory.
RS monitor can be programmed onto a car fitted with r-link. I managed it but...
Yeah Id love to have a drive in one, my 1.3 sr was fun enough back in the day! I actually after reading and replying to this thread watched an Adam smith video on one. They sound so good!
It would be cool if you could get one and retrofit it but with a side load of android, so for shows you’d have the original sat nav but for use you’d have up to date stuff.
Or just get a housing (rare as rocking horse poo) and put a double din in.
I absolutely love this! It’s awesome, and I’m really jealous of it! Love a bit of Americana. my only complaint is that I couldn’t hear country music blaring on the drive by video?!
