My female mate had a 1.2 and it was dog'd with problems from day one.
Another mate had one which had the tits razzed off it and god knows how many miles put on it and it never bothered him once
Hit and miss
Yeah most likely although there is a lad from Annan who iv seen a few times down there. Sure he had 17's on it tho.
I was running white 2118 Speedlines up till Christmas but back to standard now.
BK used to be class but kinda grown up from that scene mainly because weve all got birds plus...
Im through Carlisle once a week with the Clio. Iceberg ph1, standard look but lowered.
Odd time i go through BK but just to buy food rather than to cruise. We used to go down there 'cruising' two or three times a week back in the day lol
My girlfriends gone and deleted some important emails on hotmail. (:clown: lol)
Does anyone know a way to recover them or is the only hope contacting Hotmail?
Cheers
Yokohama Parada's for a nice comfy low noise tyre. Quietest tyre iv ever had on the Clio anyway.
Cant beat a bit of rawness, hard suspension and exhaust noise. Its part of the hot hatch fun
It must be due to the plenum design. Porting / matching must really work in tandam.
172 / 182 inlet isnt a bad design really, its just it can be improved on. Its the plenum set up on the 172 / 182's which are potentially the restricting factor
Are the gains good due to the extra crap? design of the 197 inlet or the fact that the ported inlet seems to work well with the better designed 197 plenum set up??
Just come out with the figures youve got. It'll all come out in the end anyway ;)
I think you should contact Renault UK about this. If you dont compalin they'll just carry on fleecing folk.
The book time for a coilpack change will be half a hour, 10 mins in the real world but not sure they book time anything under half a hour?. Youve been charged at least a hours work...
Your getting totally screwed over mate.
Bar the cambelt, all those jobs are a piece of piss to do and theres clear detailed guides with pictures on how to do it step by step on this very forum
Theres no question marks with a 172 application. Its 100% beneficial.
The 172 cat is restrictive, the 182 one less so, so the up shot is, 172 will gain the most where as say a 182 will gain but not quite as much due to the lesser cells
You can pick 182 manifolds up for under £200. Link pipe for 100 for the proper fit one, cheaper for custom that only leaves fitting costs.
If you cant find a friendly mot tester its very easy to knock up a tempory cat and the beauty of the 182 mani conversion is, you can swap them over with...
This is the realistic level to expect from cams and the usual choice mods.
Regarded as a very accurate rolling road.

Good luck with this mate. Always thought the intake track / plenum set up was a bit restrictive looking with all the twists and turns compared to the Honda, Vauxhall etc etc straight off the head type set ups.
Now, BHP should increase due to less restriction but what kind of ball park figure...
Only ever done Crail raceway but i find a more ''normal'' start, not reving the tits off and dumping the clutch usually gives the edge off the line and the better times.
Spinning the wheels costs time but its getting the balance between spin and bogging down thats the key.
Its the height drop thats the biggest prob. Majority of folk buy a average to good kit, set it up roughly and only once, slam the thing right down then ride about doing 90 round roundabouts which is fine but throw in a cross country point and squirt blast with a average driver on the average UK...
Stock brakes are more than up to the job for road use. Your not going to be out braking anyone on the road unless your being a naughty street racer lol and in anycase, if its a slightly faster car your racing you'll still get soiled come the straights ;)
Same goes for coilovers. Overkill for...
Good write up in Feb's Track and Car magazine about the top 3 high octane fuels tested against each other (Vpower , BP 102 , Tesco's 99)
Puts to bed all the rubbish about different fuels make no difference to performance.
