Hey guys, next week I'll pick up my new car, is a white mk3 1.2 TCE 3 doors, dynamique, 16" inch wheels, tom tom etc...
The first thing I want to do is lower it as it looks like a 4x4.
The "ideal look" would be this:
I'd like to get close to that look, but I don't want it do drive poorly or...
Hi there..I'm buying a TCE in a few weeks and it's just SO HIGH, it looks like a 4x4...
How is the ride with the AP coilovers? I'm coming from a 172 with eibach+konis at 3/4 of stiffness but I definitely want something softer with this...but I think it needs to go -40 or more to look spot on.
I...
Still nothing about the map for the 182 manifold+63 mm exhaust.
Also, I noticed that when the car is cold it revs but iself in neutral, is it normal? It goes to 1500rpm and then back to 1000.
I have it on my car..recently I replaced the cat with a 108 mm 100 Cpsi made by them, so now I have the full exhaust line plus the 182 manifold, all 63mm diameter.
The car sounds great, and it's very strong at all rpm.
Kam racing is offering it at a good price and the system is available now.
Thanks for this guide.
I've got a 172 FF 2002 with the last ECU firmware done with the RS Tuner.
Recently i Bought a 182 wheel to have it refurbished and fitted, and it has the cruise control buttons on it along with the radio (which I'm not interested in)
What would I need to fit it and make it...
Ok, I'm definitely not buying one from Renault!
DHL economy is 45 € for 50 kg package,how heavy is a gearbox?
900 €-> 768 £
Also, Hatyy probably got that quote with taxes at 20%, now it's 21%, not much of a difference but still....
I'll get Nick's one if he wants to pack it, if not I'll get a refurbished one from cliospares (450£) along with a new front subframe.
I won't spend much less as I'll need two shipment instead of one if I go with Nick's box.
Ahaha Silent you're so right!
Actually there is also another one, the...
I think ph2 FF and 182 get the speed from the ABS, am I right? His car is a ph2 cup...
I sent a pm to Nick, let's see if he wants to pack the box and I'll arrange the courier. Thanks to Budgie, I own you a beer.
I've just given them a call:
Agency Transmissions
Unit 17k Shrub Hill
Worcester
WR4 9EL
tel: 01905 24896
But they haven't got any in stock. Honestly if I need to buy one from cliospares, have it shipped to AT, rebuilt and then shipped to Italy it's going to cost way too...
That would be good. How much did they charge for yours?
I just received a quote from my mechanic, he said that a company here in Italy asks 200+ € to rebuild a box, depending on how many parts they need to change.
I think that's probably the best solution, especially if they give me a 6 months...
Hi guys, during the last trackday at Franciacorta my 2nd gear syncromesh finally gave up. It's never been in great shape since I bought the car but now is gone for good.
The 5th and 1st gear are not perfect either.
I'm thinking about this and here are the possibile solution:
Used gearbox...
I don't think so as it was running fine. Anyway the cold idle of the stock map I think it's higher than 850.
The warm idle of the rstuner map is the same, 850/900.
I noticed a few things:
-idle from cold is much higher, around 1500 rpm
-the revs decrease at a slower rate, it gives the impression of a "sticky throttle"
Is this right?
Do you need winter tyres or normal tyres that are decent on ice?
I have a set of Pirelli Snowsport 195/55/15 on valver wheels and they are very good everywhere when it's less than 10°C
Thanks for you feedback Phil.
I don't know how much difference it would made on a stock Clio but I have to say that I think there could be more power available with a specific map with my mods.
I'm filling it up with 95 ron today, I want to see how it behaves. The fuel prices are too high to run...
How much would it be for a custom map for my configuration? If I knew that I would buy that one directly.
Note that I changed the cat because it was exhausted..I suspect there could be some difference because of this, it should have less backpressure because of the slightly increased diameter...
I'm going to upload the charts tomorrow morning. Today it was holyday in Italy and as I did the dyno run after the map very late I didn't have the time to post them.
Anyway I've lost a bit of torque in the low range and increased the power a bit at high rpm, the final max power was 175 hp.
I'll...
No I tested it this mortning and I'm testing it later today, I loaded the map on the lunch break! same fuel, same day.
The weather is getting a bit warmer but I'll post the charts with both the corrected (EWG factor) and not corrected values.
Don't worry, I'm trying to be as scientific as I can.
Hi guys, today I finally got to upload the map from Henk of Fastchip.nl.
As I have access to a MAHA 4x4 dyno at work, I figured I would make a dyno run before and after the job.
The car is a 172 '02 FF. I bought the car used 3 years ago, here are the mods done on the engine:
182 manifold...
Great choice Paul! Let me know how do you find the exhaust, and if you have a few pictures I'll be happy to publish it on the official Supersprint website.
