Well I still don't get it, I dont see how it's so much better than the OEM setup. Maybe some one can tell me what im missing here ? I mean the OEM setup is better in like 90% of the RPM range. Am i missing anything obvious ?

I don't get it, coming off from the other thread with the sellers responses ( what a prick ) I thought it's worse than OEM inlet ? or was it because it wasn't mapped ? so now it's mapped and it's magical ?

Some people here claim the dogbone is supposed to be soft. Powerflexing it will cause the other mounts to fail early. adviced to get new OEM one. wonder how many people run uprated dogbone mount for 2 years approx with no other mounts failing ?

I can't find it on ebay , searched for crank seal :(

Question is does it put all the strain on the other mounts ? So dogbone mount and gearbox mount should be reinforced as well, no ? Wonder how cabin resonance on idle is like compared to vibra-technics. Im asking because i got a 6 months old dogbone mount and already it looks like it's half dead :(

Yes the bearings are indeed bottom end :) I'm sorry for the confusion those are not needed. Just would like to know the parts needed for a top end rebuild, My mate bought a ph1 172 and it's smoking abit on startup, also it sounds like a tractor so dephaser must be dead ( also virtually it's not...

what parts do I need in order to fully rebuild the top end ? part numbers would be greatly appreciated timing and dephasser pully also needed and will be ordered. also bearing for the crank.

anyone has any experience with it already ? would love to hear if it eliminated the banging when accelerating hard on low gears. wonder what would happen to a stock dogbone & left engine mount with this powerflex mount

well that was a quick answer. awesome, i was thinking the same just wanted to clarify :) thanks.

Have a friend with the same setup as I do, same 2001 172 ph1 , running yellow Koni dampers with original springs. I run the same Koni dampers (On the same stiffness settings) with eibach sportlines. Ride hight for me is too low on the front and perfect on the rear (but his rear looks exactly...

this engine mounts thing drives me mad. makes me remember my gen 1 peugeot 106. some people say the dogbone mount should be stock and that people who use powerflex on it "learn the hard way" that it's soft for a reason as all strain goes to other mounts. also they say i should try loosening...

I plan to remove all interior plastic I can and plati dip them all in black. How easy it is ? I have a guide to remove the upper part of the dashboard and that's it. the lower part of the dashboard will be sprayed while still on the car. also would like to remove the gearbox plastic surround...

SO if i decide to get all vibra technics mounts , I should tighten them to 90% ( how can I tell what's 90% ? ) , start the engine , let them "sink in" with the rattles , engine off and then final tightning ? any torque figures ?

yes it is the exhaust hitting the ARB , so a new dog bone would fix that ? also though about the full vibra mounts all around but im scared of rattles

thinking about getting a flo-flex poly bushes for my dog bone , all other mounts are stock but relatively new. would that damage the other mounts ? because right now pulling off hard from 1st gear or from second while engine is cold causes a small bang sound. what would be the benefit ?

That looks awesome, you left some chrome around that bulb, I imagine it would be on purpose because it acts as a reflector ? and the projector side doesn't need the chrome anyway right ? anyway does removing the MK2 PH1 bumper the same procedure as removing the MK2 PH2 bumper ? because i found...

Was it difficult to remove the plastic surround ? did you use a heat gun and if so how long did it take ? excellent results :)

Is there any harm in parking my clio 172 for a period of 3-5 months ? I was told to disconnect the battery , anything else I should do ? besides using a car cover. I plan on not starting it during that period , but if it's harmful I could start it and let it run at idle for 5 mins once a week or...

awesome. I will certainly try that! So it's black plastic beneath the chrome ? I thought i had to paint that black. thanks! wonder if it can be done without removing the bumper

where can I get those headlights ! I want them so bad :( also , do you have spacers ?

Have a black clio 172 PH1 , thinking about blanking the fog lights with that original cover that comes with the standard non-sport models. I think it would make it look better (If they are color coded obviously to the car) , I don't even use the fog lights. anywhere I could find pics of them...

That actually looks awesome, Doubt it will make any difference ( Maybe even ruin the original aero, cars are tested in wind tunnels for a reason ) but for the money it looks cool enough. please post pics ! also what material is it made of ?

Hi there , running a PH2 clio 172 on red sportline springs with yellow koni shocks. the koni's are like 50% front stiffness and 70% rear, something like that, they are adjustable. the ride is kinda bumpy, but i can live with it, what bothers me is the drop. the drop is too low for my liking...

I have the duel optics headlights ,those silver ones with the projectors for HID's. thing is, my HID's are done for and I really don't want to spend a small fortune for quality HID's ,and I also don't want to spend a dime on some cheap Chinese HID kit that would die on me after 2 months. Is it...

please advice me on some quality HID's for my clio 172 , it has the dual optic headlights so it should be like intended. I desire a 4300k kit as I kinda like the yellowish warm tint. I had some xetec kit but after 2 months or so 1 bulb stopped working and the other one sometimes it works...

Yeah thing is we have nowhere to drive them to ... Can't really drive them to Iran or Syria, we are not the best of friends :laughing:

well there is a enthusiast car culture, the issue is that cars are expensive around here as we get tax on new cars like 100% , so every new car costs automatically twice as much. also sports cars are even more expensive as not many people buy them so the importer can demand alot of money. all...

Hi there , I'm from Israel, came here for the knowledge! In israel the people are not so will informed about the clio sport (we call it here the clio sport , not the 172 or the RS) , lack of general dedication as the car clubs are small and most people don't have the experience. I have a...
