Your low boost option would drive differently to an ED LB due to the difference in compression/pistons. Having had 176bhp/151lbft, 206bhp/166lbft and 236bhp/228lbft Clios, it's the torque of the LB that makes them quicker than the standard cars

If your car has had belts done, go for the low boost conversion and spend money elsewhere until the belts are due.

He's right, sell it and buy one that's already done. Mine was for sale for £5,000. Turbo'd. diffed, suspension, belts done, etc. and no takers. You'd be mad to do it all yourself. If not, change the suspension, tyres and brakes and go from there.

What is your longterm plan for the car? If you have any wish to ever go for boost, then you'll need to go for belts again. If staying NA then a nice set of second hand 438s would be a good choice

Yep mine has had loads of problems since it was converted two years ago, it’s really bloody annoying so far: 1. washer pump failed 2. Heater resistor failed

Boost - I'd either buy one done or buy a Megane, it's a lot of money to spend at ED when you can go out and buy a good spec car for a grand more. If you're racing then get ITBs, I had them on mine for a year, they made the car sound great but the power to £ isn't worth it.

Coming out of the garage again this weekend if anyone is looking for a decent 172

I would say they are close enough on a road, but I think the Megane would have legs on the Clio on a track.

My 172 Turbo is a quick car, it sounds good and is the nice alternative to the mundane of the boring family car. But, drove my friends 275 Trophy and it's a different world to the Clio, makes an incredible noise, comfortable, all modern toys and covers ground very quickly. If, I had a 250 Cup...

I just put mine in the garage and get it out 6 months later, saves a lot of hassle!

I ended up getting a garage to burn mine out with the Oxy as they were rusted solid and a b**ch to get to

Before spending a load of cash on the Clio, I'd also look to see what's available secondhand. Far better to let someone spend a load and then you pick it up cheaply.

Take a Clio 1*2, add a diff, decent suspension, upgrade the pads & refresh the fluid and fit some track spec tyres = perfection for a track day car.

Our Scenic has that but we just put the drinks in the under floor compartments and they are even cold when you get back to the car at end of the day!

The black one? Last time I saw that it had a 197 engine and ITBs.

With this advertised, you'd be mad to start afresh

It'll be from when the oil has been poured in the engine

My only comparison was to the £2.50 bottle I bought on Saturday which the wife forgot to pack I thought it was expensive but then I find it weird I had to actually go to a pharmacy to buy paracetamol and it’s not on the shelf of the supermarket

Tesco’s is called Galpol, I don’t shop in the others but assume they have similar. Oddly in Paris today it cost me €4.50 for non branded Calpol

Tesco (and the other supermarkets (probably)) do a fake Calpol & Ibuprofen for 3months plus which is a bigger bottle and cheaper than the branded one.

Looking at who made the comments and where they live either Danny has moved or it’s someone with the same name

@imprezaworks It was Danny who made the above comments

@DannyR

Good to hear it's nearly fixed, Ford seem to have handled it well from outside of the situation?

If they stole mine, I wouldn't give a damn, our house is set up so if they want the car, they can happily take them without setting the house alarm off or needing to come up to us in bed. Our cars are insured with agreed value on the Clio and the others are correctly insured so will not result...

So decided against selling it, decided I'd just do maintenance and enjoy it. Bought a full Safety Devices cage for it, oops.

@leeds_182 Is that the projector from Costco?!

Try Keith Michaels too, spec wise I just send them a list by email and let them organise it at their end.

Agreed it gets a bit difficult when their legs can't fold over the seat but that doesn't last forever

I don't agree, hence the Megane having a turbo when they wanted more power.
