Plus results will vary depending on the health and state of your engine. PTFE gaskets are a waste of time imo. Total gimmick

If your cars done a 100k and you shove a 20k engine in it doesn't mean your car has suddenly only done 20k lol On the other hand, not sure that you would get less either, how would they know realistically?... but if you told a buyer its more likely to put them off

RS inlets only means something if its RS vs stock as the casting of the RS is slightly better. Matched inlets will be better regardless if its standard or RS which is done. In fact, they used to claim you would get a better end result with a bad casted stock inlet.

No shame in saying the VXR will probably be quicker. It has the help of a turbo for a start

Good springs but hardly any drop really

Never had a problem with them in the wet personally. No scary moments at all. Certainly no worse than any other tyre. The way folk portray these you'd think they were the equivalent to slicks in the wet on a F1 car I'm over 10k on the current 4. Toyo's are total crap. Ran out some CF1's on a...

Peaks higher than mine and i'm running cams lol Must be either modded or the rollers out at the time - Lets be realistic, unless Renault slipped in some hefty port work, raised the CR or slipped in some secret cams its going to be a tad optimistic to have gained 20 brake from stock factory...

20 to 25 mph. Are you 80 years old ?

Mass production engine with a extra 20 bhp or so over the average stock 172 surely has to have more going on than being a ''freak'' :S

Geeezzz last time i bought a pair about, 6 years ago they were £55 EACH!

What you driving mate a ship? Takes like 3 seconds to get to 30. If your having grief getting up to the dizzy heights of 3 0 then your either pushing the car or have pulled out in front of someone :rasp: Too many 30 limits are gay. Outside a school fine, but there's roads which were happy...

I remember once having real bother getting a filter off. Wouldn't move for love nor money and started to bend............then i realised the golden rule....WARM THE CAR UP FIRST lol - Came off a piece of piss then

Like this. :cool: Miles better than a gloss finish. They sit very well in the arches. Are they et35 offset?

Turn a ''sporty'' hot hatch and add carpet slippers. That'll be the exclusive

# Pretty much the same as me. No blue smoke but there is black sometimes when i boot it. Burning oil you usually get blue smoke not black so strange one. As for these using oil. Mine never used oil till the engine was pulled apart. Never needed to top it up between oil changes etc up to...

If the ph1 airbox is so much better why is their zero difference in real term performance between it and other sport models?

haha i'd rather play safe especially with my luck with cars lol

I'm ideally looking to run up to 20psi through it max. After machining the CR is in the 9's which is too high and im after 8.5 ideally. Its for a Zetec turbo and its all been measured up with a ST170 gasket the thickest so machining the bowls is the only option for the amount of safe boost

.....on a forged piston (wossner) for lowering the compression a bit more? (non Clio engine btw)

How come with this Cup conversion there's mention of messing about with the Power Steering pump and lines etc but with this: http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=133 it just says a pulley change ? :S

Flipping heck this moves !! :eek: Are those Supertech valves the same length as stock?

Does yours smoke mate?

Sounds like its new Lambda sensor time

Its alright saying take it to a specialist but when you live half a days travelling away from the nearest place plus add the costs of fuel a main dealer isn't a bad option. Been in the situation myself and the main dealer worked out cheaper

Headrests out, pull base part up against front seats. Fold rear seats down. IIRC it might lean up against the front seats. Was a good while ago i did it

I'v done it and it fits. Bought a ali bonnet from a fella off here a few years back. Back seat flat down though

What rollers are them? Dastek by any chance?

Headwork is well worth doing but far better with cams or even TB's to get the most from it

How come there are 194 Clio Sport 172 Exclusives on the road when they were apparently limited to 172 ? :S http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/renault_clio_renaultsport_exclusive Shame they don't split the 172's into ph1 or ph2

You won't loose out either way. They excel in different area's. For maintenance the 182 winds hands down so imo i would go 182
