Nice deep sound and not a bad exhaust all in all if you can stomach the tail pipe designs - games moved on now though

If thats the case then how come the mk2 172 is the same bhp and roughly the same performance as a ph1 ?? Ph2 dosent lose out using a square type of induction box does it?? So then, whats the real advantage in the ph1 / V6 set up ?? ;)

Mines been doing this the last few days. I blame the warm weather effecting the map / fueling / air ratio :o Got cams tho

Totally disagree with the Maxogen for the noise side. Can hardly hear mine compared to my old 'unconnected CAF'd' Viper set up

That price for custom is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much especially if its your mates dad thats doing it, tight bugger not giving is sons mate a few quid off the quote lol Going by other folks threads on here the average for a good custom seems to be £250 Go for Ktec Stealth. I bought one the...

Whats the crack with those steering wheel grips? Are they stick on jobs or has the steering wheel been retrimmed? Pretty sure it does come out but a dash out job. Simply not worth it

No you have to take the roof off and weld it in

The use of bigger single TB's has been used with good success on a number of different cars over the years but for some reason this area has never seem'd to have been a port of call on the 172 / 182's by the Clio tuners. Not really sure why? Spoke to one lad a few years back who had a single...

Slight difference. This TB has been 'polished' up, the popular inlet mod by tuners is 'porting' the inlet (made bigger) plus proven gains to be had too due to factory differences in castings

Regarded by majority of Clio tuners and regarded, going by the bore sizes used, by off the shelf exhaust manafactures. In fairness, someone who fits exhausts for a living on any random vehicle isnt going to know and have tested the flow characteristics of a Clio 172 in X Y Z state of tune are...

Change the tampon and warm up the hotw4ter bottle geeezz. Go figure simply means 'work that out' as per the examples i quoted to you 2.5'' bore is regarded as the optimum bore size to use on 172's / 182's in terms of performance. 2'' bore might have 'no performance issues' in your opinion...

All depends if your planning to build the car up with other future engine mods or if your just after a bit of noise..

Yes, the same as the standard Renault system hence the reason why the 'race system' uses the 2.5'' bore all the way through gives gains and the road system is a direct replacement :) Mate, 2.5'' bore the end :rasp:

Agree, have a go yourself. Iv done a few rims with rattle cans, sanding wheels and filler and you honestly cant tell its a home done job! However, silver is a problem to get right i found. Any other colour and defo do it yourself

More cool than half the dross on the roads today! Saw a mint XR2 in Glasgow a few weeks back. Stood out a mile unlike the bubble cars we see parked on every street corner today Shove a well tuned RST lump in one and you'd have a weapon that the majority of modded Clio's could only dream about

How would you know unless youve had a 2.5'' fitted and mapped up to compare?? Very easy to say theres no performance issues but for all you know your car might respond better to the bigger bore size Most after market systems use a 2.5. For example Yozza plug their 2.5'' syetem as a 'race...

Proper cold air feed ducting is overpriced and fails with in a couple of years. The fabric tares and the wires rust and rub holes in the material - Avoid imo and from experience The best thing to use IS the aluminium stuff but not the crap you get from Halfords under the name Green. Get...

Read on here recently that some folk have been advised to use a smaller 2.25'' bore. I say rubbish, 2.5'' all the way is what you want.

Fuel filter.. ? As already mentioned, no need to do things unless they actually need replacing

Bosch on Halfords trade im sure was 14 - 16 quid when i went in yesterday. Might be wrong.

Out of interest, whats the best sealant to use ?

PMSL @ DIY Maxogen... Maxogen to be the best. Viper is a damn good kit with the correct cold feed set up and map

600 notes for a service for a Clio is taking the p1ss. Never had to go over £300 in 7 years of main Reno dealer servicing and the cars got over 100k on the clock

Just type in Turini, thread completed :rasp:

Its easy enough to do as the cat to middle section has a seperate telescopic sliding pipe mount so no need to weld or any major adjusting. Janspeed also have a decat, silenced type. Like the Ktec will bolt straight up to yours from between Manifold and cat. Back breaking job to change but not...

Nice one. I'll give them a ring tomorrow. Tried two local dealers near me and 170 was the best they can do. Got told it was a fixed price by Renault but its strange how your wheels are so cheap compared

Home made Maxogen? oh you mean the colour black, yeah black rattle can paint 6 quid :rasp: ;) Strip it as already stated. Replacement filter and air feed. Silicone inlet pipe (Hill power under 50?) Home made Decat, metal bar to knock the mesh out :o

WTF :eek: :eek: What dealer????? Thats well cheap 15'' OZ F1 Cups are £170 quid EACH from a dealer compared.

PMSL @ 20bhp Silver painted too. Hope its heat resistant :eek:

Even cars get horny. Always knew the Clio Sports were boys not a girls :rasp: Back to topic. Keep the GDi no question. Prospeed is hit and miss and nowt mega special
