Just thought I'd post this in here to raise awareness of the bargain group buy for head work. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?689180-Ported-and-polished-head4-heads-for-£300-inc-P-amp-P-back

I've got the older RStuner. Do I need to update the firmware or can I leave that?

Just about to order some 205 50 15 tyres for the standard 7J OZ F1. The load rating is 89. Will this cause any problems with handling or is 89 ok on the Clio?

There's a few threads around about them but my concern is how good they will be for normal road driving when its damp or raining. How is the feedback when its wet? Obviously if there's standing water its time to slow down.

Just been onto renaultpartsdirect and they said all they supply now are the Cup arms so there is one part number for all. They don't supply non-cup arms. Is this the case? I don't want to order a pair and end up with non-cup arms

How do I tell if these are cup wishbones with extra caster? I got them with a complete subframe, arb and other bits supposedly from a 182 cup. The arb matches up being 23/25 rather than 22/25

Does anyone know the specs of these? I asked Prima racing directly and the reply I got was.... "If you fit these cams on standard timing marks, you will achieve the figures we have stated." The price isn't bad but no real details :( are they the same as the Piper cams? INR F4R Fast Road...

The side strips on my ph1 have been sprayed silver with a rattle can...badly... I want to do them black again so I'll need to strip the paint and give them a freshen up. What are the best products to do this?

Just put a Sparco front brace on my ph1 172 and the bonnet needs to be pushed closed rather than dropped but it doesn't seem to be touching. Anyone else had an issue?

Right, its cold, wet and windy and I need to get my steering wheel off my ph1 172 fairly quickly. Can anyone tell me how long to leave it after disconnecting the battery and what size sockets etc. are required?

Lots of threads on here about the RS2, lots of love for it but what are the differences between the normal and extra. RS2 vs RS2 extra. What maps are available with or without cams, bigger injectors etc. I've seen references to changing engine mounts and other parts.

Has anyone got a photo of a standard wishbone and a cup wishbone side by side?

I've seen this done before where you can spray the inside of the headlight black which I want to do to my Ph1 172. Has anyone done this and if so is there a guide?

Has anyone removed the sound deadening and tar pads but retained a full interior? I'm looking to lighten the car without loosing front/rear seats, carpet, door cards, dash etc. If so I was wondering has it made the cabin noticably louder inside or not?

Can I fit the cup wishbones and front roll bar to my Ph1 172 to increase caster and roll stiffness?

How well do these run on the standard ECU and does anywhere do a remap for them?

Anyone tried these? http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?details=Ordern&cart_id=1143852.110.8623&typ=R-219051&ranzahl=4&Breite=195&Quer=50&Felge=15&Speed=V&weiter=60&Ang_pro_Seite=20&sort_by=groesse&Transport=P&dsco=110&sowigan=So They are available in 205/50-R15 for £79 too

Not too fussed about ease of changing the cat etc as I'll just get a sports cat but what I want to know is... Is it worth fitting the 4-2-1 for power/torque gains? With either the 4-1 or 4-2-1 I will fit a sports cat so which is best; the 4-1 with a sports cat or the 4-2-1 with a sports cat?

Are longer bolts required for 5mm rear spacers?

Until I go turbo I'm looking at getting a spare head ported and polished and get some spare cams reprofiled by Piper cams or get the Prima racing cams. However I'm unsure of what remaps are available to go with the head and cams. Can you live map the Ecu?

Are they still available new? The yozza website doesn't work.

My radiator looks a little sorry for itself so I was thinking of fitting one of these. http://www.direnza.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=372_382_385&product_id=327 Anyone got one?

I like the DS2500 compound and used the pads on a few cars. They'll be going on the front of the Clio that's for sure but is it worth fitting them to the rear?

I was just about to order 4 x 195/50-R15 Yokohama AD08 at £72 each and noticed the same size Toyo R1-R for £58.50 each. The R1-R are softer (faster wearing) 140 treadwear vs. 180 on the AD08. Not as fuel efficient G vs. F for the AD08 and the wet braking isn't as good C vs. A for the AD08. But...

I've noticed most for sale are 18mm but Jam-Sport sell one as 20mm. Is the 20mm a typo?

I want to fill out my arches a bit without detrimentally affecting the handling, I don't mind improving it. I was thinking 16mm fronts and 5mm rears. I don't want to go more than that really. I could also fit 12mm fronts.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to retrim my wheel, its rather tired. Or would I be better off fitting a a non-leather Ph1 wheel?

Is it hard to do? The ones on my ph1 have had a nasty spray job and look naff. I was thinking of replacing them with some silver Ph2 mouldings with carbon bullets

I noticed a post from a while ago saying these don't fit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OZ-RACING-GENUINE-CENTRE-CAP-BADGE-M582-55MM-/300854428400?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item460c5242f0 But the part number and 55m diameter matches up

Picked my phase 1 172 today and it handles really well but it's a bit high and there's a too much bodyroll for my liking. I'll be getting some polybushes and a Whiteline RARB but I need to choose a set of coilovers. I'm after some coilover for more lows but rather than just going low I want...
