    Oil breather or catcher

    it's more than you think. Sometimes i get a bad smell of oil, allthough mostly it's okay. I just put a breatherfilter on the end of the tube/pipe. No worries.

    Quick question about eng.mount differences

    Plus the fact that they are all made of s**t. I'm watching/changing them coming ?? miles for the third time. I am going to stay OEM though.. Car is just right when having them renewed all round :)

    172 wheels on a 182

    Offset is different. 172 offset (regular non cup) is 43 The 182 offset is 48. So when putting the 172 wheels on they will stick out more by 5mm Tyres can go on either yes

    172 cup - anyone had problems with the alternator keep un tensioning

    I have just re-tightened mine , better go have a looksee if the second nut on the tensioner is still in place after reading this Never had problems, only when they changed the belt last time i was getting a squeel every time on startup. Was'nt given the right tension so i tightened it some more.

    172 making your own itb kit help

    it's ......... a lot of work ?? Engine-management also being one of the big concerns. Check out the supercup thread ; it is the new inlet project that comes close to an itb kit, only MUCH cheaper (because for one its using OEM management i believe)

    Which oil in the Cup?

    ..touchy..:eek: want the cup back do you ? ;)

    Which oil in the Cup?

    wow, you better watch the stick mate. I used this stuff before on another car. No probs; never using a drop of oil.. but then suddenly it went like crazy, it's like water this stuff. Stick to Reno-specs i wouls say. MOTUL 300V 10W40 is the juice i'm putting in , maybe i'll trie to get the...

    De-cat Questions!!

    second lambda does nothing.. only tells you your cat may be faulty but does'nt do anything to engine-management/mixture . I've had mine tied away on my Saxo 16v decatted, was fine.

    Snapped Engine mount!

    yep, common.. be ready to change mounts every 30k . They last longer but they wear pretty fast , bringing a lot of enginemovement which worsens throttle response/steer reponse etc. When changed it will feel like a "new" car :)

    Intermittent flashing engine man light

    can also be a lambda - sensor , probably only doing this when cold ? Second lambda sends signal that the cat is not up to nick . This may happen when cat is cold because it does'nt work when cold. Has to be hot to be able to extrude the harmfull gasses

    V6 airbox with ITG panel filter for 182.

    I do'nt want to rain on Andyman's parade , but mine indeed made 190 at the fly without cams. This was without cams, but with a good filter setup and a decat exhaust + Fastchip.nl remap . Now with cams (being Colombo & Bariani) it's making about 200 at the fly. Andy, this must have been a...

    Where to buy/which 172 cams?

    http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=359795 my experience/choice of cams.. I also did the 182 manifold. the first page shows wrong RR results, further on page 2 they are corrected, the before + after

    182 Exhaust Manifold on 172

    I do'nt fully understand the pulsing theory, and a slight knowledge-lack of English language ..:o I thought the pulsing spoken about took place at the in + outlet of the engine ? And the smoothening out of the ports (when not worked on right) will worsen the pulse effects ? When looking at...

    new additions for RS-1

    Nice one that short shifter Alper , good choice. Came out best on an independent test above 2 others, one being a genuine Renault sport one i believe ! This one is on my want list too , first up are tyres :( (+ some Speedlines)

    182 Exhaust Manifold on 172

    ^^ yes i've heard about the pulsing .. also why inlets/ports should'nt be machined to a "smooth" finish because of this pulsing in the inlet/exhaust area flow being more important on turbo'd cars i guess

    182 Exhaust Manifold on 172

    i think you've mis-written here ? How can the 172 manifold be "preferable" (over the 182 mani??) when aiming for the max power ? The 4-2-1 design is for better flow ; Why would Renault change the design of the manifold if there was nothing to be gained.. You seem to know pretty much about...

    10mm non hubcentric

    H&R , other German quality ones do 10 mm hubcentrics i believe. I will be needing some too soon. Pretty expensive but the only way to go safely

    Oil breather size

    I kind of tucked it away for a "worst case scenario" MOT-wise. I do'nt think the local boys around the corner doing their MOT will ever look for this, but when they get checked themselves by the officials i think these people look a bit further. (over here they get random checks and officials...

    V6 airbox with ITG panel filter for 182.

    the inlets did you very good then ! Mine was also around the 190 before cams, just exhaust + uprated filter so it's possible. The way an engine is run in says a lot about the power it will make later on i think. These engines, when warm (!) , should see redline very often to make good...
