AFAIK yes. I have some 195/50R16 A048s to fit so I'll soon find out. There could be issues if you're lowered too much.

You just use 195/50R16 or 205/50R16 they are wider than normal 195/205s though so 195s will probably do you.

Steering wheel position sensor caused this on mine. It feeds into the ABS and ESP computer to help it work out if it's skidding or just going round a corner. It had had an after market steering wheel on though.

Think I've figured this one out myself. The forced induction will give you all the compression you need. Low comp pistons just means more space for more air = more oxygen = more power. So I guess it's forged rods you need to increase the boost and low comp pistons just get you more power? And...

Maybe I should have put this in the "clio discussion". If a mod would like to move it that would be cool. Why do you need low comp pistons to allow increased boost? Seems counter intuitive to me.

My 172 cup handled so much better than my cup packed 182 does. I haven't yet figured out if there is something wrong with the 182. Or whether that's the way it is.

With the two current threads on new turbo and super charger kits that are coming on-line I thought I ask what peoples thoughts are on the differences between a turbo and super charger. I've never driven either, but I quite fancy one of these. As far as I can see. The kits are going to be...

Wheels rotating a different speeds makes the computer think you are skidding.

You might need to take it to Renault. I think they have a procedure for bleeding the ABS. involves using their clip thing to tell the ABS to open certain valves so the air can be bled out. I found a PDF on it. PM me your e-mail and I'll send it to you. It won't be much help though without the...

30k a year at the mo mostly mway/dc. I just do the normal service intervals with fully synth oil. No significant probs at 132k in a 172 cup. I've just switched to 182 for daily driving, cup is now my toy car. Only difference seems to be it uses a little more fuel.

Top mounts like you say seeing as you've swapped everything else. 205 tyres will probably make it worse.

Could it just be blowing a load of water out of the back box (I know they collect loads unless driving a decent distance each day) once the exhaust gasses are travelling fast enough?

1 DaNm = 10Nm

Power steering fluid on a ph2 I guess it's the same.

Sorry to hear that. I believe the dog owner is liable for the damage, as unlike cats the owner has to keep them under control.

I used to live in Bromborough was there last weekend, in the 182 though not the cup.

My 182 has been less reliable in 3k than the cup was in 108k lol!

132k 174BHP ATF on Jamsport's rollers just 1k miles ago. Only mod (at the time) K-tec stealth. Currently fitting 428s, decat, matched inlets and panel filter :-) And that's on the Cup.

With mine the allen socket snapped before the bolt undid. Garage with a buzz gone got them off in seconds. Fitting was free as it was in the group buy :-) I believe it is 250 ish though.

Power station fitted mine in about an hour, then spent 3-4 hours aligning them. So fitting is only a small part of the job.

OK might take me a few days to get round to it as I'm putting new cams in the clio ;-)

WEP is easy to crack you can download tools to break it in less than an hour.

You could make your system dual boot, then you can have best of both worlds.

Just tried to charge me 73 quid for a fairly small and simple gasket between the cam cover and oil separator. He then added that prices are going up on 1/4/09 so buy anything you need before then!

Fortunately I can probably reuse the old one. It must be worth its weight in gold! Anyone ever tried using silicon?

LOL should have tried google first sounds like Loctite 7200 gasket remover should do the job.

The Renault tech note thing says use Décapjoint to remove the left over bits of gasket. I've never heard of it so what do people use? Thanks

Yes you can get them from Renault. Some you don't need, some you can fab yourself and some you can get after market versions.

The 172 cup doesn't have ABS hence it has the speedo output. I'm pretty sure it's a JC5 129 with lower ratios than a 172 ph1.

It's 8mm actually. You don't use it when tightening the crank pulley though you remove it and that's the bit I'm asking about.
