Reason why not to do it is because the ph1 airbox is over rated. This all came from the fact that a few got it into their heads it looks like a Maxogen so must be a Maxogen and its spread from there. 2 pointers. If its that good why wasnt it fitted to the ph's2 and 182's? Why have the big power...

^^agree. And its easy to see why. The design for a Clio is shocking

Is it not the old saying of ''do you want it loud or quiet'' ?? It was when i got one of their back boxes 2.5 for ''gains'', standard bore for standard performance

Sell them and get a set of wheels 99% of the Clio Sport population hasnt got. Failing that, white

These are OZ wheels but not genuine Renault ph1 172 jobbies hence the offsets

Magnex systems tend to need to be cut back a bit hence the reason yours is hanging out the back

As already stated LPG gives poor MPG and the price of it has shot up recently! Add that to the instalation costs and the draw backs and it really isnt worth doing. Can see where your coming from but if fuel costs are that much of a problem to you on a Clio then i think you should maybe think...

Check out this months French car mag. Talk about restrictive looking :eek:

Would have thought thats about right for a regular service but 700 for the cam belts geeeezzz Never been charged anywhere near 700 for a timing belt change from my main dealer. Its nearer £250 and that aint for the aux belt either

Probably but most folk are only posting the typical stereotype image of young lad gets nice hot hatch, 5 mins later its written off... Insurance industry think the same hence high premiums for young drivers ...

So,. Clio only holds 5 litres :rasp:

Standard Clio Sport set up is nowt special at all. Speakers are gash, very much highlighted when a replacement head unit is fitted. Ive got a sub and the rest but dont feel the need to let others listen to my music when driving through the local town. Music sounds far better with a bass...

I find the Halfords 1.5 tonne Jack dosent go high enough when rasing for use with axle stands. Only goes as far as hole number one on the stands and is a tight squeeze if your under the car for any length of time. Also dosent go low enough if your running Apex springs (on the front) I have to...

Its a buyers market. Hell of a drivers car for the money is a Cup! If your worried about any form of depreciation, dont buy a car end of. As already stated the Cup wont drop that much more in price over the next few years. (see ph1 172's as a example) Your Type R will still lose a couple...

Hardly, with breakers prices these days :nono:

That dent thing is probably to do with the fact the majority of 182 manifolds are bought from written off 182's. Very easy for the manifold to come into contact with the anti-roll bar during any kind of impact. Cant see it being part of the design ... ? Mine had exactly the same dent in it...

What breakers yard is / was it in ??

Stage 2 around 300 bhp. Couldnt you just a looked on the Ktec site? 2 seconds to find the answer

Aye back seats out and he'd a had another 10bhp on the rollers :S :lolup:

You only get heat soak when your stuck in traffic / slow moving traffic. When your up and running the engine bay is pretty cool due to air entering from the front, wheel arches and from under the car etc etc

PMSL @ heat soak :o :dead: It could be a number of things or simply nothing. Best thing to do, get it serviced (cars always feel better after a good servicing) and mention it feels a bit slugish and take it from there. Dont mention about coil packs etc cos no doubt they'll bill you for one lol

Renault only the last time i tried and you'll have to get the full fitting kit. Price is in the high 20's early 30's from memory

Yeah there's no grip at all off the line. Right hand lane is also the ''quick lane'' haha Crail's good as a rough guide and is pretty good value for money (15 notes unlimited runs)

Crail isnt the best. They reckon if you go to the likes of Pod or York you could knock half a 2nd off. Have my doubts about that though. Here's my times from the Crail site. http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/select_run.asp?CarNumber=26&RunDate=20071125 ****Edited*** Sorry i meant my 60ft...

My best to date in the mk1 172 full interior, amp rack and heavy 2118's at crappy Crail is 14.4 @ 99.6 My 60ft time and 1/8 th of a mile time is a lot less than the above but the terminal speed is slightly more. Will this be down to my initial acceleration with the extra weight??

BTW ignore my dodgy grammer. Was a very hot day yesterday :o :o :o ;)

Only prob is, gonna be a pain mounting it onto the dash :rasp: K-tec sell it for the Renaults. Its hardly not gonna work is it?? but, wonder how many functions dont as stated on the ad for it?

Id be better a proper jubilee clip on if it was me. That thing comes off and use lose your brake vacum which = no brakes !

Proabably one of the best value performance per pound mod you can do to a 172 A little bit louder but nothing silly. Id go for silenced though. There's no difference in performance to a unsilenced one

IMO you dont need a fancy branded battery, Halfords one will do a everyday job and comes with a decent warranty Got mine for 27 quid ball park figure on the trade card ;) Calcium ones are a little more expensive
