Need to go to Renault for:
Type D...
Not sure what I'd need to do that. I think if I went K4M I'd definitely get rid of the FBW throttle for a cable, so I think I'd need
K4M engine
ECU
accelerator pedal + cable
So far I've got K&N 57i gen 2, 4-2-1 raceland manifold, soon to be de-cat 2inch straight through with a couple of silencers in there too, its had a superchips remap.
Next step to me seems like cams, then that should just about do it.... unless I decide to port/polish the head and match my...
Thanks for the reply, I've seen a couple of the 1.6 k4m projects use the 704's but surely there is a reason behind the other two cams being for sale.
I'm not after some wild cams cause it's an every day car that needs to be drive able. There are "race" cams available but need modifications to...
Hi, I'm after some cam advice for my K4J engine. I'm looking for some aftermarket cams and catcams do some for the K4M. A couple of people on here said they will fit. I'm hoping they know what they are talking about cause the K4M has a different stroke to the K4J.
Anyway I've tried reading on...
I have a few questions, if you have time to answer :)
What cams are you going for? why?
What make is your manifold ?
Why have you picked a 2.5inch system over say a 2inch?
What difference did the fly wheel make to driving the car? Did it accelerate faster (proven?) Did the rev's rise and fall...
Ok so take one file, a TRS tow strap, an m16 bolt and 2 washers :
Put the washer on, draw a circle in pencil around the inside diameter circle then file like PHUCK!!!
Push the bolt through see if it fit
Go bolt it on a very dirty clio (because of the bad weather we have here) and take...
You're not that far, I come to Birmingham every summer to go camping :) might bring my clio this year!
I've been and got some 13inch steel wheels with some 175/70/13 tyres, bring on the snow!!
Sounds interesting, and along the lines of the shorter stroke argument
Yeh they'll be loud, i was going for the whole system. I got outbid on a as new but used one 2 days ago by 3 quid :(
Where about's in Teesside are you? I'm in the billingham, middlesbrough area. I keep seeing a silver RS...
Ah I see :)
Thanks alex :) yeah it was the best cheapest i could find. Im going to try one of them sniper exhausts off ebay next month and see what they are like, im getting jamie winter to build me a de-cat. Ill try get a recording of my 0-60 time so you guys can compare it to your own
m... not sure if dropping a 1.6 into my car with 1.4 ecu and loom would work properly, might do but why bother. for the extra 200cc it probably wouldnt be worth it unless i knew it work work for sure and would make a difference.
Car feels and is (proven) quicker than it was standard :) but ive...

Re: Girl's reaction's to your Clio sports?
My ex hated it when we we're going out cause i'd spend every penny on it, now we're not together my cars cool :S
My current g.f is just happy i have a car :) she doesnt mind as long as i drive safe(ish) with her in :)
Thanks for the replies!
Car is used every day and driven hard once a week.
The throttle body is a bit slow to respond (its drive by wire) so a clean out might improve it.
There is a fair bit of movement in the box/engine, the top mount looks tight and fairly new. Is the standard renault item...
I'm after a bit of advice on servicing my clio. She's got 84k on the clock now and I think she needs a freshen up! So far on my to do it:
Change the oil (what is a good oil to use?)
Flush out the coolant system and put some new coolant in there
Change the plugs
Clean out the throttle body...
