Believe that Vee died a few years back now. Cant remember the story but it had rear end damage and due to the cost of repair on the rear 1/4 it was wrote off.

IIRC 100 NM Edited, didnt see the mk3 bit

Total waste lowering to that level on a Sport model. Your loosing half the fun factor of the reason why its a Sport, the handling.

:lolup: PMSL

Yes but when someone sticks a topic up on a forum called ''Supercharged or turbo??'' it kind of lends itself open to folks advice and opinions ;)

Waste of money yet you quote the least cost effective £££ vs bhp package way of extracting power for these :S SC or Turbo'd Clio would rape a 225.

Theres been a number of turbo'd 172 / 182's kicking about for years now without serious issues and theres far more stresses with a turbo'd unit than a SC one. Tuners will pretty much know what parts of the F4r are weak and whats not and as a result set the boost levels accordingly.

Why not hire a hit man?

If you think even bolting a highly tested component kit or part etc safe guards against any engine failure / fault full stop then you'll be waiting a very long time.. Stock engines have been tried and tested but still things go wrong at unexpected times from one car to the next.

It does actually

True but the final result will be just about the same cash outlay, maybe more, less BHP and capped potential. Supercharger 4k running safe levels, uprate bottom end etc potential for 400BHP apparently

Could be a lambda sensor problem?

All depends on what you want to do with the car

Your mechanic wants to know how to gain access to the belts and your letting him do a cambelt job on your 172? :eek: Brave

Yeah thats right mate. Yeah probably best to or use it as a bargaining tool if they havent been done, although really you'd have to knock a fair whack off to bring it to your advantage, 700ish imo

On the mechanics front, make sure the cambelts been done to schedule or ideally just been done and by Renault or a specialist. Very expensive to do unless its a Cup.

Technically theres 3. One with the single silencer (early ph1's), one twin type with single lambda and another twin type with 2x lambda

Prefer the look of the 17's :quiet: - yellow and black makes the car harder looking than the OZ's

Cage looks awsome. What make is it ?

No not unless yours is a rare late registered ph1 Is yours a ph2 ? if yes it wont fit

Scratch your door these days and its written off.

Yozza is apparently lighter but the difference im guessing is only 1 or 2 kgs between them which wouldnt make a difference at all and you dont really get BHP gains on a N/A set up with a exhaust.

Looks alright for what it is.

Their popular because no one can see past them... Photo's wise the Turini's look bigger so look better. If your after looks then stick with the Turini's. If your after driveability then 2118's. 2118's in white would be win win against the blue.

182's are the slowest of the Sports. Their a great girlfriend car tho OP, stick with the Cup imo. You wont go far wrong. Cheaper to maintain, on paper the fastest outside the V's, lightest, look cool too. Ph1 172 after that and if your feeling flush then a Trophy.

I think it all depends which branch you go to :)

Its very easy to sit behind a computer screen and see ''4k'' and quotes of 250 bhp etc and draw up a conclusion. Unless youve been in one you'll never understand just how ballistic these things really are with a Supercharger conversion.

1k's worth of bottom end upgrade and you'd probably be able to run 300+bhp's worth of boost through the Clio engine anyway! IIRC these Supercharger conversions are pegged back to safe levels not maxing out

Does your mate know how much Renault ones cost? If he dosent he'll soon have second thoughts about the deal LOL TBH its like swaping one turd for another. Either way your going to be no better off :o
