Having been passenger in this last night I can honestly it truly is an epic machine!
As I said to the guys last night, it drive really well on & off boost, 3 up cruising back from ace cafe at 70mph you wouldn't even know there was a turbo on it.. Until you plant the accelerator lol
The...
Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!!
I Should have x2 in stock & ready to go next week, Shall drop you a text when's its in the post ;)
Any questions just give me a bell!
The thread's in here that comment on going to bed with keys, I would avoid, we had a customer who had a gun pulled on him in his own house for the keys to his car, if they want it that bad the'll take! Let them have it for £2k! In the op's case it just looks like vandals, f**king yobo's!
Really depends what your looking for, If your expecting breath taking performance then maybe not, But if your looking to really improve the drivability then yes, when we're building our RS works package (some time ago now) the 182 responded best to the calibration work over matched inlets/ JMS...
Re: Any interest in a Karting meet?
This looks like it could be fun! 50 minutes is going to cane the body temple, shall rain check the date and see whats happening!
Looking good mate, The Rs2 responds really well to a tailored calibration, especially in the mid-range/high rpm, glad the kit finally arrived, you didn't hang around getting it fitted!
This was Toby's old one, green cage? If so we did a few bits and bobs - no cambelt though mate! Seriously freak of an engine, pulled 184 bhp with the aircon still present!

I shall get it listed if there's demand again, Normally last Thursday of the month 7:30pm @ Nando's bitches! This months could be the last one in the sunshine so shall dig the SLR (camera) out too, fancy ace cafe this month if the ph1 is on the road!
As the points been raised already, look back in the past, ph1 172's never had major issue's with them, I would say 1/3 182's we have in for belt change needs a dephaser pulley, we got a tech note from Renault claiming poor oil changes were the cause, I've seen them fail from as little as 30k...
When Tom first started work on designing/ building the RS2 it was always designed/ tested to run on standard internals (cams/pistons/head etc) we've had major differences with the rs2 power out puts between cars, the first 5 cars all pulled 190+ at pauls (rstuning) sadly all the f4r's vary in...
Op says he's going to K-tec so doesn't aid me ; ) - just giving the feedback from our customers & my own feedback:)
eBay chips are where the money's at - how to turn 50p > £15 lol
A calibration "map" on a standard car will add a couple of extra horses at the peak power end of the scale, what 90% of the people on here don't consider is the changes it makes to the entire power curve, especially the increase in torque below 5,000 rpm & the cold start improvements, as with...
Can confirm this car is as tidy in the flesh as it is in the pictures! Lovely example which is becoming a rare thing as the age takes the toll on the 172's
Glad your enjoying the RS2 Ollie, it's gets even better after the live calibration work ;)

Do bare in mind the later 172's/ 182 had the cruise control fitted which for alot of owners is a nice feature. And as for "proper noise" i don't see why you feel the RS2 lacks there - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE7XBNlA__k
Yea good luck with that lasting more than 5 minutes ;)
