I had one on my 1.2 16v but removed it after it decreased mpg and made a really bad sound, really bad. But if you still want to fit it there is a shiny rubber house coming from the top right and side of the engine. The house comes of by squeezing the plastic adaptor were the house goes into the...
So there is no chance of water getting through the filter and reaching the engine? Would like to remove the cover as the filter still gets really warm. Just want to make sure nothing else can be effected!
Got the same problem with my k-tec exhaust. Started blowing at the weekened. I even tried two clamps, works for a while then starts blowing again. I think it is due to the very shi*y rubbers. They are not strong enough making the back box bounnce alot, this constant flex will eventually burst...
I put silicone products on my trim to smartin it up a bit. However i have just been round a few coach works and they say they will not garantee the paint will not flack or the simply will not do my colour coding. My only option appears to be to get new trim all round my car (1.2 16v). Not...
Is yours the red car or the new clio beside it? i Have got a 2002 model. Cant really make out if there is a spoiler on the new clio beside it or not. Cheers for sending the photo anyway. Wish someone would make one like the red one. I like that style.
Cheers Chris.
Fitted mine in five to. Had a little problem getting the samco hose over the filter but with a little extra force it just slipped over. Feels like it has a little more power up the revs but not as much at low revs, pulling away. For noise my k tec exhaust totally drowns it out. There no noise...

Hi! Does anyone have this spoiler for their clio? Think it is a pi spoiler. Its a really bad picture and wondered if any one has pictures of one on their clio. if not can i hear your views on the spoiler.
Thanks Chris.
P.S. not sure if the...
I think i fitted it correctly. Got a k-tec exhuast, maybe it is drowning out the induction noise. Will need to have another look at it. Does anyone have any photos of there piper x induction kit? Close ups when fitted to see if i have fitted it correctly.
Cheers.
Jim, jus got the piper x s-spec filter from halfods. Not a peep out of it. No noise from it at all. Dont think K+N have released one yet for the 1.2 16v!
the power at the wheels is 139.7 bhp it lost almost 40 bhp through the transmission i am considering a unichip, the lad at the rolling road were it was tested will fit them and is promising at least 10 percent or i will not have to pay a thing and the increase will be at the wheels
my bro has a clio 172 when the car was standard it was put on the rolling road, it tested at 171.6 bhp after spending nearly 500 quid on a 57i and a ktec exhaust it was put back on the rolling road and only had 174.6 not a big increase for 500 notes should it be more or is that the increase to...
Hi! I am from cumnock, only about 35 min away from you. Work at GSK which is a stone through away from sg body works. Was thinking about going there for some colour codes. You any idea what there prices are like?
Problem - Just fitted s-spec induction kit and there aint a peep out of it. There is no noise what so ever from the kit. Cant believe it, never heard of an I.K. not making some sort of noise. Gutted. Specially when fred said it sounds great. Fred can you help? I have not got the relocation kit...
Its a pi*ser. I took a chunk out of my 172 alloys on my 1.2 16v in the SNOW! locked up going round a corner and hit the alloy square on with the kerb. Not Happy! Was not going that fast but managed to knock my tracking out. Steering has not felt right since and with the tracking done the car...
My 18000 mile service is due soon. I have heard that some manufacturers require your car to be serviced at a dealer in order to keep your warranty valid. Does any one know if this is true for renault warranties as a service is alot more expensive than one from a normal garage?
CHEERS, CHRIS.
Ordered my s-spec induction kit yesterday:). Should get it by wednesday, but should i get the k-tec relocation kit to suit. Does it make a noticeable difference? Cheers Chris.
£200, thats cheap. I went last year to get colour codes on all the black plastic at my local body shop. Was quoted £500-£550 + vat. I live in Scotland as well, so you would think it would be cheaper or the same. Glad i did not shell out the money. Think i will try somewhere else. Would get it...
Hey! Was down my local scrappies today, geting a vaccum hose for my 1.2 16v. Bought an ecotek, Mince. The noise from it was really pants and as for better mpg!!!! My average mpg on the computer dropped from 46mpg to 30mpg. Something wrong there:(. So i decided to take it off. I botched the hose...
My Brother does not think it has been going as well as it did before the 57i kit was put on. Surprised as you would think it would have helped the car. Read the clio discussion forum about the 172 vs cupra and now believe there must be something wrong. Shall need to investigate!:confused...
