... I will always have to do the tracking after that? I am more concerned about the toe in/out values
Do they change after messing with the ride height?
I am sick of this annoying issue and I'm curious just how many people have it. maybe this is not such a popular problem after all. I'm thinkin if there is some 1*2 with 100k on the clock with no creaky clutch then maybe there is a catch and the unlucky ones could sort it out somehow..
I'll...
Hi
I filled the tank the other day and the dash was showing 51 L of fuel.
I reset the trip computer, then after about 320 km it displayed 25 liters of fuel consumed
Weird stuff is that the fuel left indicator shows 20 liters left in the tank, so where are the 6 liters missing?
Is the trip...
Hi,
Been here for some time and thought to share some photos and hopefully get some feedback
mods so far:
k-tec gr N helix organic clutch kit
powerflex dogbone and antiroll bar kit
k-tec solid engine mounts mounts
k-tec solid top mounts
milltek exhaust + modified 2,5" cat exit
BMC CDA intake
Rs...
As far as I know these are indeed ported and they are the real deal if you want to make the most out of your inlets.
It seems like few people run them and couldn't really find some feedback on these so far
I am tempted so if anyone have them installed let me know what you think
Cheers!
A friend's 172 needs both rear shocks replaced and he found some mk V gti rear shocks at a good price and some guys say they can mod them to fit the clio
is this a wise move or they're a totally different specification?
might worth the effort as they probably will last longer..
thx!
I was looking in this manual http://www.fastchip.nl/media/doc/clio2/F4R_730.pdf
and found something about the parts that need lubrication when dealing with the clutch
copy paste from the document:
Right-hand sun wheel splines- what is this?
Fork pivot
Stop guide_ and this?
Fork pads
these items...
finally the weather got better so went the other day and took some pics

Instead of buying very expensive std leads (I just hate the idea of paying renault about 120 for some god damn cables) I was thinking about the magnecor red ones.
heard people say that magnecor (don't know if they were talking about the red or blue ones) don't fit the coil pack as good and don't...
Basically the narrow cat exit towards the center section (the one that needs to be cut and replaced with a 2,5" exit pipe) has a crack in it and without providing details the guy who welded it said it might not last for long so..
Is the cat mod worth the hassle? I know BTB does something like...
Today when the car struggled to start again (after 2 days of wet weather/fog/light rain) I realized that it only did this when the weather was wet and cold (late autumn and early spring months)
Each time the cure was to take out the leads and clean them and/or driving till the engine was up to...
I'm just curious about how many experienced problems with these systems? many say they crack, others are pleased.
So for the help/curiosity of others I'm trying to launch a few questions:
1) date of purchase
2) date of install on the car, mileage done with the system
3) problems yes/no
I'll go...
Since I'm having some camber bolts coming soon I tried to come up with somethin' to measure the camber, after realizing that a digital camber gauge was out of my reach - cheaper ones that I've found couldn't get them ordered to my country so my attempt went like this:

I'm after these bolts but wanted to know their part no.
As I know so far the part no is 5.81260k
Some traders sell them as "clio Mk2 camber bolts", even if std bolts are different in RS models. these bolts I know for sure that are smaller in diameter than the std ones, but would they fit the...
We have here a turbo 172, problem is the original gearbox needs an upgrade or find another one capable of taking 400+bhp and massive torque.

after I got my plenum painted and went for a drive couple of hours ago noticed that if letting the car glide in neutral and braking, the revs go up a bit, in the 1200-1700rpm zone, it's like pressing both (accel and brake) pedals at the same time. otherwise it drives fine.
also the idle takes...
used hammerite on it and the TB and some black VHT paint I had on the fuel rail guard.
did it not only for the looks but it seems like painted parts are a lot easier to clean lol
got some pics of the lower inlets to get some opinions if porting them is worthwhile (they are the RS stamped ones)
can someone explain or post some pic with how the horns are attached and wired? had an accident on that side which damaged the horns and MOT is in about a week or two and need to sort this out. wouldn't want to spend money and do the job myself instead.
Cheers!
After reading on some blog about these went to citroen today and collected for about 8 quid. part number visible in the photo:
the mounting clamps are identical to the original jets, took me 2 mins to fit :)
and they work like this...
read somewhere that the "A" in the "ACH- NRTW" seen in the pic refers to the suspension type of the vehicle, A being normal and B- cup suspension.
as you can see mine is "A" although I'm having the cup pack (60 mm between bolt holes, grey wheels, spoiler, splitter, they weren't fitted after...
Had a chat today with a guy who used to race a 172 and knows these cars, then went at his garage and after he took some measurements the conclusion was that my clutch pedal sits about 2-2,5 cm lower (another lad had his 172 nearby to compare). it looks like the whole pedal assembly sits lower...
went about 500 miles with the following setup:
Brembo HC-front (new discs)
ferodo ds 2500 font pads (also new)
had the pads carefully installed and filed down a bit (as often required), and the brake fluid changed and bled at the dealer.
the discs and pads have been properly bed in, went easy...
got my CDA the other day and wanted to ask for opinions regarding the CAF setup

I was thinking RS tuner, but am I going to need a custom map? (can they sort one for me?)
I'm only having a BMC CDA, milltek exhaust and want to match the inlets and a decat before the map. So am I going to need a custom map for these mods or a generic one will do fine?
thx!
8000 km ago I had my last service and decided to move on from the elf 5w 40 to motul 300v power. problem is, last night I left the car for 5 mins standing tilted to the right near some ditch, and when got back in and ignition on, the "service" light was on and the "oil------" indicator on the...
I changed my clutch to a k-tec gr N kit in october '09 hoping this would fix my problem. well, it didn't..
so here it goes:
engine at idle, pressing and holding down the clutch, engaging 1st gear, revin' the engine to 2-3-4k rpm and nothing happens as normal.
but when going past 5k rpm the car...
