    R-Sport 172 ECU

    Anyone have any news on when itll be available for the 172 (not Cup)? I didnt get a chance to speak to R-Sport @ Donnington, but Im hoping itll be out soon, otherwise itll have to be a save-up-and-go-for-Roamers-throttle-bodies option!

    Just had a select few mods applied to my Mk2 Clio 172, using lessons learnt from the Cup race cars and Im amazed at the transformation :D Basically it involves new springs and some geometry changes front and rear. The result is amazing. The car handles even better than standard, with...

A contact name/nos for the guys...

    HP/Ramair air filter on 172

    For all those people whove got either a HP Induction Kit or Ramair foam filter on their Mk2 172 or Cup, how many of you have had the CO measured, potentially on a rolling road, at high/max revs? Rumour has it that the car runs lean with this, and other after-market air filter setups, yet BB...

    172 after-market spring kits

    There seems to be a plethora of options - Eibach, AVO, Apex, plus BB Tuinings own kit, and K-Tecs spring/damper setup - most of which claim to improve the std setup. I know some of you have tried the AVO setup, mainly via Hillpower, and found them rather hard and too much for the std dampers...

    172 pulling to left :-(
