I think Lofty is absolutely right. I mean is it really worth going from 172-180hp and risk damaging an already highly tuned engine? I mean common guys, 8hp... can u really feel the difference??? it will decrease ure times by.002 of a second perhaps??? is it worth the money/ voiding the...

Yes!!!!! thats the exact sound.... is it bad?

The Mk2s have different throttle bodies which give them slightly more torque lower down in the rev range also apparently... so probably negates the extra weight

Damn... any idea when the 206 sp will come down under?

Hey guys, When im driving in my mk ii 172, (10900kms), i notice that when i press the clutch fully down between gearshifts, i hear a faint rattlesnake type noise just as the clutch hits the floor (is in the fully down position). The noise is comming from the drivers side under the bonnet...

Hey guys, Yup i do get instantaneous mpg.... i just press the knob a few times while im in motion and then it displays what im currently doing.. and it drops to almost nothing when i take my foot off the pedal Yup you will notice it does tramline alot... however it really depends on the...

Hey, guys Can these mods actually damage your engine?? And why didnt Renault put these mods on the car to begin with?? Also ive noticed alot of power figures going around with these mods, what about torque?? do they also increase torque?

Really? Here in Aus, they actually rated the new S3 as only being like 0.1 of a second slower to 100kmph and again 0.1 slower to 400 m than the new WRX. Im talking the new 165kw version here. The commented that it had a better drivetrain than the Rexy, less turbo lag and had better in gear...

Are you for reals?? So when car companies release the 0-60 figures, do they actually test their cars run in? or do they do an estimate?

apologies kris...... :)

Yeah exactly... even 5th gear is shorter in the mk II so it should feel quicker... plus the throttle body is different giving more torque down low... which would offset the ~20kg increase in weight (as weighed on a weighbridge by members of this site) Dammit, im sick of Mk1 owners insisting...
