Are CT ok with cambelt changes and the general maintenance side?

Bright when square on but lack direction.

Think you might struggle. You could always buy a brand new one if you have deep pockets

Sure there is a part numbers thread on the forum somewhere

What clutch were you using at 330 Danny ?

What does a forged supercharged combo run like as a daily? Is it all rough idling, dodgy cold starts and heavy clutch ? Reason I'm asking is I feel a freshly built lump has a better chance if longevity where as throwing boost at my standard high miler lump is just asking for problems.

Regards to the steering. Wouldn't a good geometry set up improve that? I know on my ph1 getting it adjusted to recommended levels on here improved the turn in by a mile

If you have the money I would just go and buy a brand new engine from Renault or do the rebuild. You don't know what youre buying second hand. Most of these engines described as "runs perfectly" have only been bought and driven a few miles then broken. You might buy one which is goosed before a...

Is it this one? http://www.cliosport.net/threads/few-pictures-after-being-washed-twice.789563/#post-11031877

2600 rings a bell but could be wrong. Both were in Scotland. Sure one was for sale by Stu on here and the other one the lad posted up after he bought it.

Seen two for sale over the last 6 months. Just buy a ph1 and spray it, will be cheaper :tongueclosed:

Not having the black bumper inserts is a indication the bumper has been replaced or sprayed. You could originally buy the bumper sticker set from Renault but it's no longer available. Pain in the rear to cut your own stickers as well as the towing eye areas are a offset shape.

The cable can dislodge. Just a case of tracing how the mechanism works from the good seat

Their not "rare". If you decided tomorrow you wanted to buy a standard Cup you could find one no problems on the usual classifieds. Now try finding a complete unchaved ph1 with original oz's by comparison and you'd be struggling. Was only last year Cups were priced around 1 - 1.5k.

Mine never used to use a single drop for years and years. Shouldn't really be using any between designated oil changes on a decent engine although Renault do state a figure of acceptable loss, not sure what that is though.

If your worried about a front end smash then maybe you dont want to be driving a Clio full stop.

Mate your crazy. Just go CT fully forged turbo conversion. Far more power, freshly built block and probably save you 500 to a grand.

Mine never tapped but now the kit come with those additional shims so eliminates any chance.

I find ECP in shop can beat their online prices pretty much every time.

Usual drill, is it timed right? New injectors won't make it quicker just smoother on acceleration and idle. If the ones you have are duff your car would be missfiring and hesitant

Was there much hidden rust on the shell ?

Dealer says you need a new cylinder head but that might not solve the issue?. Roughly translated that means they don't have a clue

Going by the outlay needed to turn this into something mint it doesn't really count for much. As someone mentioned, check the sills under the skirts or via the inner rear door cards. If these are shot it might not be worth the grief

Do a search. It's nearly always the throttle body spring. Most common fault on a ph1 172. Folk normally suggest clean the body out then move onto the ISCV but it always comes back to the spring. It gets worn with age, loses its tension and rubs on the black cable disk causing it to stick. Easy...

TB spring. Always the same on ph1s - about time someone developed a replacement uprated spring lol

It's not like you would be needing it mapped every week though.

Doubt a 200sx would fit but if you did want to do it just get a cheap eBay 172 manifold and cut the tubing off

I'm only using it as the car is losing oil and its not worth topping up with expensive oil lol Tbh oil change intervals are more important than the brand.

Iv always thought parts are well over priced considering its just a Renault Clio. 0ver £400 for a Ph1 mechanical throttle body, absolute daylight robbery! As for another price increase. You would think they would be doing the opposite and offloading stock cheap seen as sports are well over the...

Been using halfords fully synthetic for must be over 4 years now.
