Well im in the 'rare group' then lol because changing the cable few years back cured my creaking

So really this guide is for the stifness, the creak is a seperate issue (the cable) :) I had my box fully rebuilt a few K's ago and the clutch feel is a hell of a lot lighter. The creek is still there but retained the original cable so would tie in with the seperate issue theory

So why does replacing the cable stop the 'squeek' ??

Not sure about all this. How comes when you fit a new clutch cable the squeeky noise usually disappears? :S

You can have the CAF as big as you like, theres no rules on size. Obviously dont connect it to the IK trumpet inlet, just point it near it to direct outside flow

No harm in fitting a better caf. The stock ones can easily be improved upon

Mines 100mm (4'') although on a ph1 - Had to relocate the horns at a different angle but thats it

Better off getting a rebuild or buying a box thats just had a rebuild. Price difference is just about the same

Why do they make these ? Are they produced soley for the Clio racer teams? What other things can you get from R Sport division? I know you can also get seats

There was a feature a while back in French car mag of a mk1 Clio running a Gt turbo lump. Was getting silly low times up the quarter

20k ?!?! WTF For that kinda cash you should have the quickest Clio on the forum

Yeah but they dont ''fail'' as in risk of totalling the engine and iirc its not even a Renault service scheduled item. Pretty sure you wont find play in the pulley either. A expert on here reported he's fixed a few by only oiling it. I was told ditching the VVT would make the car run...

They tend to wear once in every 100 thousand miles. Thats not exatly a fragile part. They dont even break anyway. Folk worry like mad over this part

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth The Dimma's were also featured in one of the Max Power Video's - Showed it being fitted etc

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth I remember both these cars. Still got the magazines. In the 90's early 2000's, folk seemed a lot more ambitious when it came to modding cars. Instead of coming on forums, asking questions and getting folk saying ''its not worth it'' like today, they just got their...

The only reason not to go TB's is you could get more power going down a different route vs the cost but on the plus side not everyone wants stupid levels of power and all the issues that come with it plus ITB's are ''probably'' the best performance vs reliability? You could go down the JMS...

No its not in theory its in practice, they really do work. Solid mounts (these arent even solid) are a popular mod through out the car scene not just Clio's

Mate, sack off the rolling road being gospal talk. Any figure is only as good as the rollers its on ;) Schricks will give more power, their a wilder cam.

Guessing you never saw the Youtube vid of the TB'd up phase 1 blowing a 280bhp+ old shaped Scooby Sti into the weeds?

Renault had a 12 year anti corrosion and perforation warranty with these so even the oldest ones have another couple of years to go.
