    O/E vs Valeo clutch

    Mine has a Valeo and it's a 200NM+ torque-y devil going over the torque warranty issued by Renault. No worries

    Kangoo engine mounts - right part numbers?

    unlike Danny stated, i bought mine new (RS ones) and they DID have a gap between rubber and cage. I think the Kangoo ones dont as they have (seeing a pic posted earlier in this thread) a bit of extra rubber . In my opinion this is better !

    Airbox 172

    when you're so worried , get some 73 mm CAF off of Ebay or the like and point them towards the headlight. My experience is, after 10+ trials/experiments with c.a.f. setups, that this works out best on the F4R engine. Foglight/bumper/forced air induct etc. do not work better, even worse and the...

    Clio Cup Racer exhaust?

    OK i found him, suddenly remembered his name. On the old forum he was registered under the name Jesse. No posts, no activity for a long while. I guess he outgrew the Reno's. Maybe he will still receive a message when pm'd ?

    Clio Cup Racer exhaust?

    there's a guy from Belgium who used to be on here that still sells 'em.. I will trie to look him up. I remember him because he was, i think, one of the oldest guys on here with a love for the Clio's; that being 50+

    dentist-mirror (?) down the front past the fuelrailguard and you'll be able to see the lower inlet manifold

    182 manifold

    i did too when clutch-time was there, cambelt was also done so all in one go. As said, power is good and above all the yearly MOT changing cat/decat is a bonus

    172 Cup SC Vs 197 Cup

    Someone has commented a couple of comments back on the JMS inlet, a cheaper option that will get you around 200. Almost TB power. Look into that ! Supercharging your 172 will be a dissapointment from what i've read.

    Flooring it from cold!

    too low rpm is also no good, or ? When mine starts up the idle is unsteady/wild because of the cams and on the low side. Sometimes to the point of cutting out , well not that far but pretty low. So around 2000 rpm is best ?
