Doubt you'll find better in its category in terms of performance vs running costs

Get the thing reving its nuts off down the hill then on approach you'll be carrying more speed fingers crossed

Pretty poor comment that. The engines are pretty good. Look at what RS Tuning is putting through their stock 172 engine, 300+ bhp without any probs

Torque's your problem ....or lack of it lol

Is this under book power issue only a Renault thing?

PMSL Oilman's b**ch? ;) ''Forget mods, oil is the answer'' :rasp:

Think the point is, if all these cars went down to RS Tuning or any other rolling road for that matter, the figures would be different even if you do belive these particular figures to be accurate.

Do you know what its like to live with a Skyline? They might be quick but their total money pits. At least with the Clio you can return back to some sense of normality and economy! Folk have been tuning shopping cars for years. Its expensive but rewarding once your running a decent set up...

Thought the wheels were the giveaway on the Cup suspension front? Silver for non Cup pack, anthracite for Cup pack

What brands of gearbox oil is best, or ok to use ?

Its a shift light really. Works in exactly the same way and same principle. Probably the only reason Renault called it a ''optimum gear-change indicator'' was to be PC I wasnt blessed with a optimum gear-change indicator lol so installed a Omex shift light. Would highly recommend it

Tensioner easy?? :eek: Its a bugger of a job

Iv seen a silver 02 plated ph1 in a magazine a good few years back. Could have had mine registered on a 02 if id a waited a couple of months lol

I was suprised how slow my mates old Gti was. Bit like most VW's, s**t performance wise in standard form

Same goes for on the forecourt lol Chances are the dealer didnt want a tarted up car and shipped it off to auction. Maybe it was a main dealer trade in which was a different marque to the car purchased eg BMW or Merc garage

Quoted from a reply to someone else this morning on the same subject lol If its intermittent problem and everything looks ok and youve had a quick check to see the conditions of the aux pulleys and belt then id probably blame it on the cold and damp weather. If it continues its most likely...

Why does it? Its where a lot of traded in cars end up.

Just go to Renault. Their not expensive from memory

I thought traction control kicked in at a certain amount of rpm only? Never knew it effected top end performance too

Yes, the double barrel type (twin cat) with the 2 lanbda sensor plugs. Decat (Janspeed) was labeled for a ph2 / Cup but it fitted fine, no modding or anything. They didnt do a shorter type twin barrel? Pretty sure it was either twin barrel or single box type, twin being on the later ones...

BHP and torque figures are measured at peak ie the highest point before they tail off. How can traction control have any effect at the top end of the rev range especially when they run the car in 4th :S ??

Twin cat version does fit. Iv done it!

Of course plus this time of year is slow in the car market anyway

You can smell poo when you drive past a farm. Its the same thing when the cars sat idling if the fumes arnt getting blown away

If its intermittent problem and everything looks ok and youve had a quick check to see the conditions of the aux pulleys and belt then id probably blame it on the cold and damp weather. If it continues its most likely a worn pulley bearing. Dont take chances in this area if you belive it...

If its the later twin type cat then everything is a direct replacement

Good old Renault eh :mad::mad:

Why is there just about a £50 premium between a Gates cam belt and a Renault cambelt? Is it code for, 'Renault, your paying for the name? or Gates will fail before Renaults belt lol ?

Main Renault dealers? Where was that at? Im not far from Carlisle.

Wear rate on Parada's is miles better than the GSD's imo. Quieter ride too and tbh, theres no difference between GSD3's and Parada's in the wet under normal to spirited driving conditions from my experience. Read all the horror stories about it being a half road half track tyre so it will be...
