Not wishing to put his car down but there are Clios with more power and quicker just dpendds where your definitian of Clio extends to. There at least one Clio with well over this much power then there the V6 turbo MikeT owners.

Dead easy to fit half an hour if your very slow.

I woulnd't buy it what about these instaead http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/324298.htm £500 cheaper sell the NOS etc plus its a 2.0 bottome end which is betteer than a revyy 1.8 for both power and drivabiluty and later mods. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/338925.htm £1.5k is a lot cheap...

Chipping won't make any real difference. Startlet is light but the cup should have the edge it does the quarters in about mid 14 seconds the Startlet at about that power your looking at 15 seconds

Theres good and bad puddings though.

Arr well we'll have to differ in opinions/experiances.

Sounds like a wire is shorting etc have it checked most likly the looms getting caught at some point or a bad eath.

get the passenger side mount checked for damage also the gearbox to subframe one then check the engine isn't catching on rack etc.

Not on a 172 it won't the kit alone for the proper tensioners aux belt etc is £160ish and its 5.1 hour labour,

Do a search but basically yes and no you can make it fit but its not simple there two way one is to swop all the car parts dash etc for a car with that engine the other to rewire the engine bay to run the other engine. The engine itself will fit no problem same mounts etc its the making it...

Aux belts on cups are dead easy to do. Drop me a email if you want the cambelt guide You just need the tools and IMO unless you know what to do don't bother to many havebeen messed up before now. eddeuk yahoo.co.uk

Some electrics can be swopped Gearbox well others will fit but none are as strong with the same ratios. Radiator is different unless your on about a 1.6 with aircon and a 172 cup without air con etc as thee the same.

Get it fixed might as well.

There no best tyres its all down to choice personaly I say the stock ones Renault fitted the continential premium contract but other prefere F1's each tonthere own there is no best you can easily argue a set of road legals semi slicks are best. The no amount you need to drop it by stock cars...

I'd take it to a garage could be the bolts etc on the cambelt havn't been done or the aux belts slack etc.

Most likly the resister pack has gone a new ones £40 ish from renault its under the scuttle panel.

I'd never leave it more than 4 years or 60k whichevers sooner unless you've a good warenty.

£350 to say £500.

£350 to £700 depends where you go etc.

Clio 172/182 differences/changes/facts on changes in production http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=162405

Eazi bleed is very good for the cheap price. The other suck/blow kits are good though but pricy.

If the gear level moves round on lift off etc then I'd check that mount and chnage if needed else try the other mounts.

Or maybe he just like me woulnd't chnage our minds. If your happy thats all that matters isn't it? Any setup for those sort of prices isn't going to be very highly invested in though and lower price usually means lower quality under £250 per damper is cheap realy. Cheaper coils than £260...

Its 197 French hp which when convered to Uk hp its 189 ish, The 172 and 182 were the same it was realty a few hp less in Uk terms. A few hp doens't make a huge difference.

A bottle of Nos Or £2.5k of normal tunning

The contis have week side walls which is one of there great things IMO gives a nice smooth ride ok so when your on track they cna wear on the side walls near enough but that can be fixed with camber chnages/pressures etc.

The 172/182's arn't much better though there not realy quick are they.

The f1's are just seemingly always sticker hence the lower mpg the contis seeminly sticked when you wanted them to ok so they wore out quick but the F1's arn't any better. Then again 10k from a set of fronts is my limit. Grip on the continetal at break away point is easier to manage I find...

Arr right but that not true its down to how hard the driver throws the car round a 1.2 can put them under the same laods and at the end of the day its the dampers build not there use which is the issue.
