Is that one actually for the 172? :S Edit: Phase 1 isnt it?

No problem - I felt like being useful for a change £300 will get you a full exhaust plus decat (I know what I'd rather have ;)) The best thing you can do on these cars and if you search you will find pics is to move the battery to the boot (easy job really) Then get a straight pipe running...

What the hell is up with all this gooch business? I dare say its turning me on just a little thinking about it ;)

Personally after reading many and many of pages of information on flow charateristics and the flow properties of different materials I think in future I'll just be sticking with a standard paper filter. 1. For best filtration (keeps engine wear to a minimum/prolongs life) 2. Greater surface...

I'v found with these that they look pretty but remove bugger all from the car May just be worth getting one for the fun factor though :)

Gives you more torque lower down so you dont feel it as much. Its still there though dont worry ;) Get an RR done to proove it though if you like :)

once the head is off it will be easy to remove the thread as its not being held by anything Iv removed a very tight bolt with my finger once the head is removed

Maybe chisel the head off?

Haha dont expect a 45HP increase on your clio matey more like 3BHP, and about 10ft/lbs of torque isnt it?

Leave him alone, I think hes been humilated enough so just lay off.

Okay I agree rip out the headlight, wuld make driving "interesting" to say the least in the dark ;) Although would have thought an open filter by the headlight rather than an enclosed one would be better as there will only be cold air plus more surface area on the filter

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread What you gunna use the hole in the roof where the aerial went for?

just use a pair of your mothers tights on the butterfly ;) Think we can all agree that the best setup is to relocate the battery to the boot and have a straight pipe with an open filter over by the headlight

Freds last comment - Thats quite amusing!! But he does have a point to be fair!

Yes you have a point and i suppose we all prioritise where out money goes. But spending £6000 on a clio seems ridiculous especially with the amount of problems you'd have with it. Bit unfair to tell him to go for it when the week after it needs a new clutch or gearbox or something, You'd be...

Good question. would be interesting to try but thats about it

Tar remover is a waste of time it wont touch it, Unfortuntely the only route is superglue remover or acetone of some kind but be carful on the paintwork You cant really pick it off as the pait will come off with it. Maybe a wet-sand and polish if your careful have you got a pic?

Oh god! Come on people. Why not sell clio 7k + 6k buy a faster car (skyline etc...) which doesnt need a weekly engine rebuild... Fine if you have plenty of money

Also more dnagerous, colder & gets your head sweaty

Before you 2 go off on one have you considered that the original paper OEM filter may have been clogged up badly?

Also sounds like youv stretched the cable, if that breaks its real fun tryna get the bonnet open LOL be careful with it

Grrr, I'v been searching but cant find it!! Its definately on here though posted by fred I saw it and copied it off when i went to the dealer

I will look for you hold up a sec!! :)

Do a search for the part numbers lol. Or do I have to do it for you ;)

When i went to my local they said Theyd have to order then in, me and the guy laughed about it. There like 1.50 or something if you msearch for the part numbers... He never phoned back to say he got them in though lol

As said excessive amounts of filler!! Looking good though! Patience is definately the key

nah, Theres blue smoke coming out the zorst but thankyou for the suggestion anyway Anyone else please?

**UPDATE** Right well after some more digging the guys at poole have NEVER had to change the engine on a 1*2 due to worn piston rings. After a compression test today I got approx 155-160psi each cylinder Valve stem seals anyone??

V-power has detergents in it redex is a waste of money along with other injector cleaning products

Unlikely Does it do it when hot or when cold? Or both Check the plugs for any obnormalities
