Bought the ph1 172 a couple of months back. The previous owner kept telling me how it needed remapping to get to its full potential.
The car spec
- Cat Cams 420's
- Open induction kit relocated to behind light
- SS exhaust + Decat
- Group_N ECU unlocked to work with car
Apparently it is...

The subframes are defiently designed for clios as they can bolt into the car but the seats seem to be too wide. Do Corbeau use different...

While taking the ph1 out today after fitting new wheels it started grinding. Thought something was catching so checked behind the wheel but nothing. The noise gradually got louder but disappears when the clutch is deactivated. Sounds something like a driveshaft.
any ideas?
thanks
carl
i dunno if its me being picky or what but on the way back from FCS i could hear a dry-ish noise comming from the engine bay at around 4000-5000 rpm. Wasnt very loud but sounded more raw than normal.
any ideas?
thanks

thanks

Noticed a small leak from the ph1 today so cleaned it underneath, thought it was just excess oil from a recenty service.
Took it out and before it was even warm the car suddenly lost power and wouldnt engage into any gear. So i pulled over and took it out of gear and put it in first realise the...
Looking at refitting the ph1 airbox instead of the induction kit which is currently fitted to the car. The battery has been moved to the boot of the car so there is alot of spare space in the engine bay.
Is there any reason why the airbox is sat vertically apart from the space it takes up?
Im...
Booked my car in for an AAS exhaust (custom) for june 17th and was speaking to the guy who works there. They always recommend using a 2.25 bore size on a clio 172 including 2.25 through the back box aswell. These guys really know there stuff and was telling me about a 200+ bhp clio rally car...
