Had a burn with a Rover 220i Turbo Coupe this evening. The rover was lowered with big bore exhaust. Dont see many of these around nowdays so was interested in seeing how quick they are. Played around for a short blast then accelerate down long straight from about 30 to !20. Didnt leave me, I...

Was driving home tonight about 9:30 p.m. up the A12 Colchester bound and saw a Copper on the other side of the road hiding at the side of his car with a Laser speed detector. What really surprised me was the time of day that this was being done - it was 3/4 the way to full on darkness. Also...

I want to fit NOS and increase BHP by 100. Whats the absolute cheapest I could get a wet system for and is there anyone one here that would be competent to fit it for a small fee?? Cheers, Simon

Notice what looks like an Air Intake in the front lower grill. Perhaps this a mod. that someone could do?? http://www.palmersport.co.uk/tms/cars/images/clio_lg_new.jpg

According to Need for Speeds web site a Cat Replacement pipe is available for the Clio 98 on. Says 16v - £72 for S/S one. Anyone got a Cat Replacement pipe on their 172?

Had the Konis fitted Saturday. The car sits even lower now with very little space between wheel and arch - if any. Already had PI springs and the Std. shocks were starting to leak. There used to be a horrible rebound on the std. shocks when hitting bumps, etc. This is now sorted. Havent had...

Have been searching through old posts and to summarise it would appear that power gains can be had from Head & Cam work although from what I read Cam swaps arent recommended. EFJIE a french company at some point did a 198bhp tuning pack for the 172 (Clio RS in France) which involved the...

Does anyone know what the BHP is at the wheels for phase 1 and 2 172s? Cheers, Si

Ive got PI springs. lowered 25 mm at the front and 15 mm at the rear. The springs are about 30% stiffer. I always knew that the original shock absorbers would eventually fail but maybe not this early. One of the rear shocks is leaking Oil and thus I need to buy some upgraded ones. What do...

Im currently making an enquiry with a company that specialises in these kits and have asked if they can supply the kit for the 16v and Williams. The kits costs around the £1000 mark. Not cheap. But should give power gains of between 20 and 30 bhp on a standard engine. So 16v would be...

How much would it cost to have a throttle body conversion done for a Willy? Im assuming that the conversion would come with a custom ecu to handle fueling, etc? Anyone had this done and if so what BHP are they producing? Cheers Simon

I notice that the 2 litre Williams engine is the same bore and stroke as the Clio 172 engine. How similar are the engines? Are they the same block with some different top end components? What sort of power with can you get out of the williams engine with decent induction kit, free slow...
