Well the time has come for the clio to go to a new home, was a great little car, but was sidetracking me from my actual track car so it went to its new owners last weekend:
and to replace it i decided to go for something a bit bigger and a bit faster, more comfort and more toys...
the 2ltr 140bhp tdi VAG engine gives really good results we find, currently have 200bhp and 365lbft of torque of of mine at the moment, and thats with the standard turbo, new turbo sat here should see 30bhp and 40lbft torque, just need to do a single mass conversion to it.
most vag tdi's give...
Whats a fair asking price...
Not sure if this is the right place to ask...
Thinking its time to move on from the clio to something bigger, but not sure what to ask for the clio:
2003 172 cup with climate control
ast coilovers
ast topmounts
yozzasport stelth exhaust system
yozzasport decat...
depends what suspension your running for the max camber, i used my top mounts to set the castor and the adjustment on the coilover to set the camber.

when i fitted mine to the ast coilovers you need to raise the ride height of the car about 20-30mm to get the ride height the same, this will get rid of the gap.
the nut on the top sits inside the top mount aswell, if im not massivly mistaken seem ok to me.
if you want the 4pots then we do a kit that fits under 15" wheels, its a good upgrade done a few cars with this now, other than that the common choice is standard caliper, brembo hc disc and ds2500 pads.
we have done a few AT Power kits on various cars now, including Ben172's clio on here, always had decent results with them. also done several jenvey kits, only one on a clio, results were similar power wise. We would favour the AT Power bodies for the clio.
