    Whats the colour of choice

    The Arctic Blue is very similar to the Mondial Blue of the Cup!

    the final say on hillpower and r-sport

    Like Ive been trying to tell people all along... ;) Basically if youre going down the zorst, de-cat & induction kit route (as most people do) then this ECU is perfect for you! However, if you wanna progress to headwork, cams, etc... then you really want something programmable such as a...

    172 oil filter help

    Remove the injector cover for a start, this allows much more access... Look >>> http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1077545564__Clio_172_Injector_Cover.jpg There are just two 10mm nuts holding it on, so easy to remove. Once off, you can get both hands down onto the...

    Pics of the Scorpion

    Well, I do live in Burnley (well, just outside) and I know all about Top Gear, but I am the opposite to you... I want a subtle tailpipe and dont wanna see the backbox under the back of the car, so the Scorpion is ideal for me! Other system I considered was the K-Tec hidden one.

    Pics of the Scorpion

    Has it got any louder over the past couple of weeks??? Reason I ask is that when Ive bought new performance systems in the past they always seem quieter initially then get a bit louder as theyre used. What kinda noise is it? About to buy one of these myself and just wanted to know...

    tyres

    Id be amazed if I got 16k miles out of a set of fronts!!! As KDF says, the better performing tyres are generally a softer compound so dont last as long, and if youre happy with Contis Id stick to them as you wont get more mileage out of other tyres...

    What ECU Upgrade

    Err... the idle is fine, and whilst you may not see much in terms of a peak headline power figure, you will see increased power & torque lower down the rev range, more willing to rev top end and an increased rev range! The cars running the R-Sport ECUs are also the ones running 14.0 & 14.1 1/4...

    Best air filter

    Get a BMC CDA, I would if I didnt already have a Viper... Same theory, but better made and cheaper!

    Best air filter

    Not at peak though... I have a Viper on mine and the real gains are to be had in the mid-range!

    Cup Gearbox Mount

    Its underneath the battery... Get at it from the top, so open the bonnet, remove the battery, remove the battery tray and there it is. Not sure on the size of the socket, Ide guess 17 or 19mm fro memory.

    The R-Sport ECU and the Hill Power one are the SAME item... Neither one is developed by Renault Sport!

    Removing standard airbox 172 mk2

    Piece of p!ss to remove... Firstly remove the 90 inlet hose to allow more access, then there are just two 10mm bolts that hold the airbox in place, next unclip the side air feed hose (in front of battery), but there is another air feed underneath thats trickier to get at, but a bit of waggling...

    How to run in

    Do what it says in the handbook... The "thrash it from new and it will be quicker" theory is simply just not true and mailto:r@ping">r@ping a car from new will not do the engine, gearbox, brakes, etc... any good at all! Now I ran mine in correctly, so with a 14.5sec 1/4 mile time and...

    1450 mile problems

    Welcome to the world of Clio ownership... Creaking suspension - get it in & checked as you need to make sure its right! Gears sticking - happens on a new box, so ease back a little and let it bed in properly!

    172 / Cup speedo accuracy

    Speedo error is a percentage, so naturally as you go faster the actual error in terms of mph becomes greater. Not tested my Cup with GPS, but my mates mk1 172 was showing 100mph on the speedo and reading 98mph actual, and my 306 Rallye was showing 100mph on the speedo and 97mph actual, so...

    172 and long distances

    Did about 400 miles in my Cup this weekend and it was a great journey, so a 172 with all its lux bits in should be even better... ;)

    My mate wants to do the oil & filter on his GFs car, but doesnt know where the oil filter is located. The car is an 02 Reg 1.2 16v Dynamique. Cheers
