Yeah i use their wheel cleaner, and think its the best! --jealous of all 172 owners--

Its strange, i used normal petrol b4 and it felt faster 2! Which is weird cos the car must be heavier..gets me in the mood for a damn good thrashin tho!lol I always use optimax though, after reading about its its a lot better for the engine. BP super unleaded is just cleaner fuel, optimax is a...

Its not identical, i asked my dealer last night. There is less lock to lock, in fact the same as the 172 though its not the same rack. He wasnt sure but he agreed with me that the dampers seemed harder. I detect jealousy dynamique owners! And ive removed the crappy extreme badges! Oh and...

Theyre MPVs for gods sake. Ive heard the gearbox is awesome, which is annoying cos i think the latest gens clios have crap ones. Its not supposed to be fun to drive, which is more important than speed me thinks! :)

There ya go http://www.k-tecracing.com/products/clio2/styling_exterior/facelift_ss_grille.jpg

Cool ok, and i guess fair enough.

Nooo! Be subtle at least, i hate people whos spray theyre drums red and stuff lol. The paint peels off after a while anyway

i wish i knew wtf you guys were on about..

Well yeah..CATs sap power, so youll get more, not sure how much obviously. Its bound to be noiser too. Id get a de-cat pipe and cat back system, with filter and a chip to make sure everythings working for each other. Worth asking hillpower themselves though, im just going on general (and...

Well i was thinking of getting the 16inch 172 wheels so fingers crossed theyll be ok. I need to go to my dealer at somepoint so ill ask. Thanks bambam

So, siggsy, are u gonna put the cat back on at MOT or what? K-tec are better than hillpower!!

Does any modification mean the warrantys void? Or is it just engine stuff? I have saved up enough for wheels and suspension but i dont want to lose my 3 year warranty..especially on a french car which already stalls when cold, rain/light sensors dont work, warning lights flashed etc.

OK, nice one, whats the difference in ride/handling? and wot suspension u got?

My uncle had one, they accelerated fast, performace car did 0-60 in 5.9, in gear acceleration not particularly good, 172 has better top speed so not a suprised you beat him :D

Can u get the cup blue for the 172?

Yeah its a shame, unless you can get 200bhp out of a 172 lump thru tuning?

Ive never fitted aftermarket alloys/tyres before. If i bought new, lower profile tyres how would i know how much air would be needed in them? Sorry if its a dumb question but i am well..er..dumb

Damn

Get a K-tec one! they do rear ones now, polished , nice!

So is it a totally different engine?

You have both? Can i have one?!

no effin idea mate

The new megane 2.0 has a small turbo..is it the same as the 172 engine but with a turbo but with inferior mechanicals..hence detuned? Is anyone thinking what im thinking?!

Yes i appreciate the M3 is more expensive, front suspension isnt any better though. I think it has got the 172 steering rack, thats all i could find out. Thanks for all the replys..apart from the more stupid ones lol I didnt like the interior of my extreme first of all, but its grown on me a...

Can u get the cup blue for the 172?

My car is almost new. Sometimes it stalls on cold days. I run it on optimax, treat it like god, and it still messes me about! Good ol french reliablity!

I wanted to know if anyone knew of the mechanical changes (if any) of the extreme compared to the normal clios? On my extreme the suspension seems soft and theyve just stiffened the shocks, as to be honest the ride isnt all too good. My dads got an M3 with the optional 19 inchs (30 profile...

is it a performance cat or a straight pipe? Remember your car wont pass the MOT if you remove the cat!

Unless the car was designed for 19s though you can never make it handle as well as the original car, i dont think peeps with 19s care about driveablity though!
