    clio 172 hitting 5000rpm with uprated cams

    ^^ that depends on the cams. Most aftermarket cams retain VVT When having very nasty cams you put on adjustable pullies for the ability to fine-tune them, losing VVT *** EDIT *** 172Ben beat me to it ! Mine runs Colombo&Bariani cams. When mapped Henk (Fastchip) put in a VVT disable at...

    How much downforce does the 197 diffuser give?

    A couple of months back i spend the afternoon in the workshop of a race team (they used to be racing the 172/182's , now the 197) They started to experiment with diffusers on the back for more stick and yep ; got better laptimes. Mind you , the diffusers they made up and stuck on there looked...

    How much downforce does the 197 diffuser give?

    little fast cars , heavy engine in the front. Needs downforce on a light rear end, simple. Renault learn a lot from their F1 technology (aerodynamics galore) ; along the years more + more of this knowledge is used in the production cars. Also at lower cost because so much knowledge has been...

    What Oil do you guys recommend??

    @ OILMAN Guy , what is it that Motul may be the wrong choice for everyday driving ? My car has cams and i take it up to high revs every time ; fast road i would call it not really racing (although?;) ) I have been putting in the 300V 15W40 these last couple of years. Should i change to a...

    washing the car after a wax/clean job ? not nice

    ^^ right, maybe i have to go back there to ask what exactly they did. I remember that it was the "simple" version he sold me. The more expensive choice he said would make the car look like a mirror but therefore also really showing/bringing out the chipped surfaces/spots i have on the car...

    washing the car after a wax/clean job ? not nice

    I brought the car away for a cleaning and waxjob, payed around 150 pounds. This is one of those companies that prep new cars to showroom status when sold. Car looked spanking new after, really nice. However, now after washing, even during washing, you can feel some sort of reacting with...

    Massive hesitation problem

    watertempgauge allright during driving / normal reading as ever ? When the TDC sensor changing has'nt worked out for you (i do'nt think the car will even start up with a broken tdc sensor?) , you should trie this ; Big possibility it's a dodgy watertemp sensor. When the car is cold, it...

    Whining like a super charger!

    ^^ yep, i also think we might be talking alternator. Mine does exactly the same . Also a very short slip of the auxbelt when cold startup, and i have retightened the belt 2 months ago so my guess is that the alternator is pulling a "bit heavy" , might be on its way out. makes a genuine SC...

    Very slight gear crunch when shifting fast

    ^^ i think a lot of your clutches are'nt adjusted right when reading this. Mine goes into first fine when rolling at traffic speed, no crunching whatsoever with lots of nasty trashing speeds

    Best cams

    v6 airbox clips?

    scrapyard ! If this fails you can drill a little hole close to the edge of the lid so you can put a screw in. Works like a charm
