Nitrous is good stuff but can work out expensive if youre using it a lot. A standard F7 engine will take 50 jets no trouble at all as long as youve plumbed in the extra fuel as well.

Mr Coolspot has got it spot on. I was experimenting with these sort of things a year or two back. Basically you need to use the foglight hole so that you only have two bends - a scoop in the foglight with a bend behind it feeding into the factory hole that goes through the subframe into the...

The valver has an uncommonly big airbox which flows pretty well already. Compare the size of a K&N panel filter for the airbox and a cone induction kit. The panel is actually bigger so has more filtering area. Assuming there is no difference in the material which there isnt, it stands to reason...

LOL rsshawn thats a quality answer!:D Im not one for bonded on vents or bulges but its true a proper bonnet with a factory bulge or vent looks mean.

Thats a late phase 1. Paint code will be 449. Find it on the VIN plate on the panel just above the headlight.

Definitely you need a Haynes. Theres about 25 pages of wiring diagrams at the back.

Good work mate. See if you can find out why Ive got the only RHD import valver in the UK then!

Well Apex is good stuff and its a good price.

BTW to answer the point about how many would put their money where their mouth is, I should imagine quite a few. The Cup owners on here are enthusiasts and generally happy to modify where necessary and want performance above anything else. Otherwise they would have bought a 172 rather than a Cup...

badger - something to remember is that you basically have just about the one and only community of Cup and 172 owners here on Cliosport. It would be a bit short sighted, perverse even, for a company who do a 200bhp conversion on a particular model of Clio *not* to want Cliosport in on it - 900+...

Good call Jimbo. I didnt realise that about the Megane F7R. I know not all the F7s had the oil cooler (really just an extension of the normal coolant path to take heat away from the oil circuit, not a separate cooler). I cant remember whether it was the early ones that DID or the early ones that...

Well thats quick enough and if you feel its nippier with the exhausts then fair enough, its your motor, no-one elses! Certainly looks like it was quite a mission to get them on there.

And put in a front mounted oil cooler with a built-in oilstat as well. Thatll knock at least 20 degrees off your track oil temps and keep it dead level as well. Or at least in a range of 90-100 in normal driving and 90-110 on the track. I see coolant temps at least 1/5 lower than before just...

Good work mate! LOoks like you might be done before mine comes out of the body shop! Rah! Thats gonna be my new word for the day I think...:D

Yes AFAIK R-Sport is a fancy new name for Radbourne Racing the old-school South London Renault specialists. Werent they supposed to be the official purveyors of the mythical factory upgrades for the 172 Cup? Or are all the upgrades actually available now? Anyway if it does indeed mean that its...

Best view youll get of it is if you get the front jacked up and lie under the drivers side of the rad. Look up and youll see the sump just beyond your head, high up and straight a load of dark stuff which will be the underneath of the inlet manifold, and a load of stuff which is designed to...

Standard is a silver grey cam cover with dark grey plastic on all those bits where yours is blue (plug cover, engine mount/cam pulley cover & inlet manifold cover). The F16 ie bit on the spark plug cover is in yellow.

LOL which is why only bad boy valvers run a Willy box. A standard one would be better off with a standard box. If anything I could do with a longer box than the Willy; at 145mph on the GPS speedo, there wasnt a lot of revs left before the limiter, possibly enough to hit 150-155 but no more than...

Gotta be an engine or gearbox mount somewhere.

Mark, members get a discount with Mocals distributors, Think Automotive. Ive been running a 16 row/235mm wide cooler for quite a while with an oil stat in the sandwich plate and braided oil pipes to hook it all up. About a hundred quid it cost me and definitely worth it if you do a lot of track...

Languishing at 15 KB/sec off Roamers, and 45 KB/s from KDF. KDF is in the lead...

Willy box goes straight in as well but is definitely longer like Ben says.

haha yeah we had kind of the opposite experience at 7:45 this morning on the front gate...more like OMG there are 40 Clios out there...and theyve all parked up half a mile away at the roundabout instead of coming in!

Nice one Andy...or should I say...Nick? LOL that announcer geezer talks too much. Top day out and as you say, nice to have some good friendly rivalry with you and the Frogford crew. You almost took the silverware mate! Theres always next year...

LOL yeah Ive had a look at those photos off my phone again Aaron, and Ive got Jakkis tugging up skirt moment but the resolutions sh*t so I cant get any camels hoof detail unfortunately.:( I have got some snaps at the 0-60 strip which Ill try and put up. Theyre a bit blurred though. Anyone got...

Well if its 2 Lives Willy for sale, then you can be sure its a quick motor.

Mistakes can happen but Halfords are pretty good about it as long as youve got the receipt. They even take back bottles of Mobil 1 bought elsewhere at end-of-line price so you get to spend twice as much at Halfords than youd originally spent at the car shop! In theory of course...

And I will be moving permanently to Lowestoft or Beccles soon. Currently in Yarmouth and Southend -depending on day of the week.

Well even if its not legal, itll look hardcore which is surely more important Dazz?:devilish: I was sporting that look last year at York - 18s on the back and 15s on the front...

The weights of the Willy and valver that are quoted or repeated most often come from the phase 1 versions of both, where the Willy is most definitely lighter than the valver - something like 950/960kg Williams 980kg for the valver. Phase 1 valvers were fully loaded, they had a full UK spec of...
