The smoke seamed to disappear as the car heated up but I was thinking the worst, head gasket gone, something engine related, I gave the car a good kicking and the cat was stinking it's standard, I did feel it hesitant twice for a millisecond through the rev range so think it needs a little...
Basically cars been sat since I bought it as IV been trying to mirror my no claims and tax etc
Today was first day IV had a proper run since buying last week, but a few niggles I don't feel comfy with.
On start up it was fairly smokey out the exhausts and a slight petrol smell but seamed to...
I was thinking the same
Apparently most sup unleaded is 97 Ron
Tesco and she'll are miles from me for 98 ron, closest to me are BP and an Esso
So I think Esso super will need to do, not sure about BP ultimate however
Is this the rs tuners map thing? Or the octane 98 map?
I rember asking a while ago about a pop and bangs remap for my 172 cup, but was not sure what map was recommended, what exactly does the higher octane remap do? And can any tuner do it?
I know with most performance motors folk say it's gotta run on tesco 99 or shell V power, my old impreza did anyway because of pinking
But is it a nessesity the clio rs runs on the dear stuff or is normal unleaded totally fine?
Opinions please
Was wondering if new registered owners still get a recall through the post to get the bonnets checked or is that all but finished with now?
I remember getting one for my 172 cup but never actually knew why
I can remember seeing a few clio bonnets smashed into windscreens on the hard shoulder...
Ok I'll see if any are on you tube video for an idea of the sound cheers mate
I'll look on ktec for a decat pipe also
Think that will be decent with a panel filter and a remap, and that should do me
What's folks opinions on an uprated manifold and full system
Any real difference?
Is it best to go decat or cat back?
What systems sound good on the 182
Cheers
Can you buy the rubber thumb inserts or is it a new wheel mine got ripped back to plastic
A nice set of cup turinis would be nice but I never knew the correct tyre pressure to have them at
And brake wise I'm looking at new pads and disks all round
Is the rs tuner map an actual map any tuner can do or is the company called rs tuning who do the map?
Yup I wanted to supercharge my 172 cup what money wise wasn't worth it for age of car
I'm looking for a nice burbly exhaust
Don't know if decats good or not
Lower it slightly
And maybe a remap...
I told my mot station to check on line as there was a genuine article about the rear braking effort he said aye no probs mate IL look it up he read it but still failed it for braking effort saying even though it's a legit document he couldn't pass it
Was a pain in backside trying to get mine...
In a dilemma here
IV tried adding the clio on to my policy as a multi car deal but to add a clio there wanting an extra £60 mth on top of my £35 I pay just now, no way in hell am I paying nearly 100mth for insurance but they say it's due to me having 11yrs ncd on original policy yet Hastings...
I'm basically new to Renault sport clios I owned a 172 cup a little while ago and now bought a 182 cup for scooting about in
Made me wonder who still actually owns a clio or uses one as there daily driver
From the site Or have you moved on,
I don't want to be asking questions about engines...
Yes IV heard that aswell some systems are shoddy built
Does a decat make the exhaust loud?
I would enjoy a system that gives a nice sporty throaty rally car type Sound with a pop here and there but stuck with what to get
Not wanting a straight through or an exhaust that wailes and screams like a...
I'm looking for a sweet sounding system for a 182
Nice grunty burbly type with a wee pop or 2 here and there not one that screams everywhere
Is a sports cat any good or decat ? Pros cons?
I was thinking of getting a cat back power flow but what are folks opinions ?
Trust me to buy an awkward one
I'm thinking if it's a 182 and comes up a 172 technically I should be fine if in an accident due to being a registration fault rather than me insuring the wrong type of model
If just bought it so will see what the new reg doc says when it arrives
I just checked and the boot floor is flat as a pancake no area for a tyre to fit but has the tyre foam stuff in a canister, yet on compare market insurance it came up 172
The middle seatbelt is on the roof rather than on the bench
Yet cars an 04 plate it's baffling me
Car has plastic front...
Anyone familiar with this clio ?
Just bought it and it looks like a 182 but comes up as a 172 with insurance
Yet logbook says Renault Renault sport clio 16v
So iv not a clue actually what it is
My old clio 172 cup came up on logbook as a Renault Renault sport 172 cup 16v so that was more obvious...
just wondering how fast roughly would you reakon a supercharged one would be 0-60 i know every car may vary but a rough guess or anyone thats experienced one would be great, i fancy a little sleeper project seeing as these new amg mercs m135 bmw civic type r n new focus rs are on the way and...
