I was racing my mate the about a month ago, when i missed a gear going into 5th and just revved the arse off of it, bounced off the limiter and black smoke everywhere, car seemed alright still, and thought nothing of it. but the other day my mate told me that when i floor it and change gear i...

K just to let people know spoke to carnoisseur, and FK do -60mm springs for £70, they also had -70mm!!! LOL but i think that is a bit excessive.

Im gonna give carnoisseur a call today, but i think PI only do -60mm springs for the new clios!

Yeah i called PI yesterday, and they only do -30mm for the valver! someone must do -60mm springs!?!?!?!?!?

Do you know how much the PI springs are? do they have a site? Fred, ive just bought the car, and its apparently been lowered 35mm, but it still looks to high, on 15" rims, ive just ordered my 17" and i want it as low as pos!

Sorry, i want springs that will give me a 60mm drop from the standard ride height, the only ones that i can find are about 30-35mm.

Does anyone know who makes 60mm springs for a 16v clio phase 2, also how much are they?

is it anything to worry bout though, cos i dont want to leave it and then find somint goes bang!!!!!! cos it will end up costing me more in the long run!

What could the black smoke be? is that anything to worry about?

no it does it when its warm as well, i think anyway, ill check tonight, how much does it cost to get the piston rings sorted?

When i give my valver a bit of stick especially in first, i get a nice puf of black smoke from my exhaust, is this something to worry about or just usual. there is no smoke on tickover and i only get it when i rag it!

The only information they give is the bhp gain and the rpm, surely though the rpm is the power band, is this correct?

Ive just been looking at there application list, and the rally cam for the clio, says that it gives an extra 18bhp, and it states rpm 2000-6800 is this the power band? and does anyone know if the rally cams are any good?

Also Nick when are you next going to be down southend, Id like to have a closer look at your car, as the pictures in the gallery are quite dark, and i cant really tell how low to the ground the car looks

K cheers, what else did you have to grind away wihtin the arch, apart from the lip?

I was just wondering what work you had to do to your arches, to get 18"s on with the drop? and also can you still have 4 people in the car?

K cheers, has anyone else got 17"s on with a 60mm drop? if so, did you have to do any arch mods?

Ive got a 16v clio, i wanna stick a set of 17s on there, with a 60mm drop, what off set am i going to need the wheel to be?
