Induction kit - 4bhp SS Exhaust with decat 10bhp Vpower - 4bhp Remap - 10bhp I make that a total of 28bhp, that would make "Clio 210". It all adds up dunnit! So the magic remap should work!

Hmmm...not very clever trying to "drift" on a wet road in a built up area! Idiot?, I second that..

I can vouch for the quality of the Scorpion RS192 system and is not loud or boomy and wasn't too difficult to fit. I did a guide on hosted on another clio site.

If you're bored with it, with the money you need to come up with to get a DC5, use it to mod the 172 instead. A set of coilovers, remap/filter, ITB, weight stripping etc should make the 172 a little more interesting. The car market is pretty much stagnent at the moment and you'll struggle to...

The correct spec is 205/45 16 83v http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=354272

Standard bore on 182 is 2.25" between the cat and the point where the exhaust splits in to 2

I don't find it too bad, I used to have a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo, that had the turing circle of the QE2. The Clio turns like a London taxi in comparison.

The steering wheel is on the wrong side!!

Nice, needs clear side repeaters though.

Should use distilled water with coolant to reduce the likelyhood of corrosion and deposits.

Has anyone tried disks from nitrac (www.nitrac.co.uk)? Their disks are cryogenically frozen. I don't fully know the science behind but the disks are frozen for over 24hrs at -185 degrees C which supposidly produces a disk thats harder wearing and resists warping.

The Scorpion does indeed make a nice burble on idle and really makes itself know when you peddle to the metal and fits perfectly in the exhaust cut outs. I recently did a 250 mile motorway drive and although its slightly louder than standard, it was not excessive or boomy. I did a quick guide...

No, not quite! the hose is being fed from behind the headlight. Mine feeds from behind the fog light

Heres mine, with new alloy feed and the acoustic valve removed. The hose is the same length as the original hose including the acoustic valve, which is about 1ft long. Looks like the acoustic valve has been removed from yours too.

if you want LOUD, then Yozza, want something more subtle and not in yer face then Scorpion. I have the Scorpion

If it was an unlimited budget to modify the clio, I'd have Renault's F1 developers rebuild the clio using the most exotic materials and converted to RWD.

I fought sow two...

...and you didn't even get a free pizza!!

Since you've owned 172/182s theres no point banging on about it being a very economical performance bargain they are at the moment compared to the other hatches you've mentioned. You could go back to a 172 Cup/modded 172, however, if you didn't get the 182 Trophy, I think you'll always be left...

Clearly he's/she's a wind up merchant. Don't feed the troll!! :nono:

Revs will rise and fall more quickly with a lighter flywheel, and can improve acceleration and engine braking. However, it may affect top speed since there will be less inertia/stored rotational energy therefore the engine will have to work harder to keep it spinning (I think!). With that...

If you've just installed the brakes, they need several hundred miles before they fully bed in to get the best out of them.

I have it on my Trophy, good exhaust, not too loud, well made and fits perfectly. Loads of info/views here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=331701&highlight=rs192

I had a 172FF and now have a Trophy and for me, the Recaros are a huge improvement over the FF seats. Whilst the FF do have adjustable lumber support, I found it woefully inadequate. On long journeys I would get aches in my lower back. The Recaros do not have adjustable lumber support...

The cheapest way would be to strip the car to get the weight down.

Best to apply plenty of the stuff on the inner surface of the clamp. Then once the clamp has tightened, wipe off the excess. Then go for a gentle drive to heat up the exhaust gradually to set the firegum. The firegum will expand and set with the heat to seal any gaps in the clamp.

Yeah it's easy to do if you have a pair of axle stands. You need 60mm clamp.
