Reminds me of a 300c for some reason...

I cable tie'd the washer hose to the wiper arm, you cant see it and it works to an extent.

Silkolene is a very good oil, especially in high revving applications.

I dunno if a fault code reader can switch it off, managed to in my old clio but the airbag wasnt actually removed, just knacered.

Lol let me know how that goes!

I just wanna post here 2b part of an epic thread :p thanks.

Im going ITBs hopefully, soon as i find someone capable of doing a decent kit.

V-powers just gone from 97RON to 99RON, what more reason do you need lol? Not sure about 182s, but the 197 is meant to be run on 98 or higher.

Lol, thanks for the inspiration kev. What shall we do next???

Got the boot sprayed today aswell, just to make the strippage abit neater:

I bought some spacers, but have decided not to use them because my local tuning garage has told me that it wont go super low without rubbing, so cant be arsed with the hassle. So they're for sale?

Yeah bought the V3 coilovers, just waiting on k-tec to deliver! :boring: only got 4800 miles on the clock, still fresh as a daisy!

A sneaky taster just for you Alex ;)

anytime mate.

An expensive mod, but only thing thats out there atm to get a decent power gain. Unless u got £4000 for a k-tec turbo lol. Jib if you wanna come for a spin in mine to feel the difference jus pop round anytime :p

Lets just keep on topic lol.

I'll give him credit though, he's the pioneer that tests what does and doesnt work, i just follow by example and save a few quid on the stuff thats a waste of time lol :p

And my setup is: Cams Yozzasport exhaust with decat Matched inlets with PTFE gaskets to suit Standard airbox with itg panel filter And of course remapped :p

Besides in this day and age you cant prove anything on the road, without either losing your licence or crashing. All we have for bragging rights are dyno runs lol, dont take that away from us :cry:

Lol i didnt say i was any good behind the wheel! just that in the right hands my car could be pretty good :p

Which is why the back is stripped of all creature comforts and i have £1200 of adjustable coilovers and uprated brakes. :rasp:

What make was the dyno? havent a scooby mate! I'm not too clued up on the dyno game so just leave the motor with em then check the print out after lol. You should ring AmD and spk to them, they might be able to tell you how they managed to get my ECU to hold the map.

After all the talk of the dodgey 197 ECUs, i had myself worried that im losing power cos of it. Took it back to my remapper and explained the situation, so he agreed to retest the car to see if it had lost any power. Results were: Flywheel: 215bhp @ 7255rpm Wheels: 182.8bhp Torque: 169.8...

Mines mapped on 99, but what u gotta remember is that mine made a good 7bhp more than yours standard, theres probaly where the advantage is. Be it a better built engine or better run in i dunno, we need a head to head.

Decat? What fuel has yours been mapped on? All factors that may help.

ClioSports dont have a limited slip diff as standard. Other than that the ratios will be wrong for your engine, it'll still have to played round with come conversion time and im sure you need a new subframe for either the RS block or box... Wouldnt bother mate, save it for the conversion.

I dont understand. You have a diesel clio and plan to fit a 172 box?

Wouldnt of been my first choice for reliable at the state of it, but she tidied up nicely lol. Like the paint job.

Lol I got no problem with a head to head kevo ;)

K-tec, many months ago we were promised the carbon fibre spoiler that was announced in your 197 PFC feature. At the time it was 'in developement'. Any news of this being avaliable soon? Also the 5 spoke wheels for the 197 that were 'avaliable' at FCS still dont seem to be avaliable on your...
