To be honest with you it wouldn't surprise me if it's had uprated cams because I've found quite a few mods the previous owner had done and not told me. It's definitely quicker than my other Cup but I've not had much opportunity to compare it to other RS clios. One occasion I got left behind by a...

I've got a k-tec stealth with the centre silencer removed, it sounds good, a few members on here will tell you what it sounds like ;) lol It pops now and then when I'm giving the car some stick but I can also get it pop when I want to as well. :D lol

You don't go to Stockport/Ashton on Thursdays do you? I often see a silver 172 knocking about around there.

Get some pink racing stripes plastered over it, you'll definitely be spotted then ;) lol

It could be accurate, you never know with these Renault engines lol.

Lol I don't get it? My previous post wasn't aimed at you by the way Danny I was talking generally.

As said previously, give the rear shocks a check for leaking etc. My previous Cup use to randomly try to swap ends even at low speeds. Scared the s**t out of me the 1st time it did it lol. This Cup I have now feels fairly steady at the rear although it does get abit twitchy when driving...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess. I tend not to worry what others say or think really.

Just an ITG panel filter and a k-tec exhaust mate, although I can't see those mods making much difference to the RR result. Might stick my decat back on for the next RR I have just to see if that makes much difference.

Very quick lol. Pulled away from my Cup significantly when we had a blast off the lights.

I know the photos are crap, I've had to take them with my phone for now but they give you an idea on how un-smooth the curve is.

Seriously doubt it'll make any difference power wise, it's more aesthetically pleasing rather than power creating.

Engine wise it's just got a panel filter and a cat back exhaust (k-tec SS stealth) and I suspect it may have been mapped by the previous owner due to the raised rev limiter. Yeah wasn't a bad result, I was just happy it wasn't down on power. lol

It made 175bhp at the flywheel and 157bhp at the wheels. It was done at Awsome GTI in Irlam, not a favourite place of many on here I know lol

Had my car on the rollers today, I was reasonably happy with the result but the power curve wasn't smooth, just as it hit the powerband (5krpm) I got a dip in power then it came back and carried on rising. Looks like there's a dead spot there or something? I'll post up the graphs at somepoint.

+1 great little cars.

Haha! Suppose I'll have to buy one now you've seen this thread considering you'll be doing the M.O.T on it :rasp: As for crappy front wipers, head out the side window could work? lol

Providing you don't end up with a dog and it's not in the garage every other week lol. As said though they have reasonable running costs. I only work part time and can still run one although it's a 172 rather than the 182 you want.

abit of drug dealing on the side I bet ;)

Problem solved now anyway, I had a rear wiper from ages ago, it was one I bought a while ago and it was to big to use to it was in my loft gathering dust, just took the rubber out and cut it down and fitted it to the wiper on my Clio.

When I removed mine I just used a long 10mm socket and an extension bar, it's fiddley but it shouldn't be to difficult and i cleaned mine with a rag and WD40 Edit: Did you mean the airbox? I presume it should just pull out once you've removed the lid and filter, previous owner had broken the...

Exactly the same with a shitty old Escort I had but that even passed with a buckled rear wheel so I think the garage just didn't give a s**t to be honest lol Lol. I hadn't noticed yours mate, is it really that bad? Yeah they're not dear I'm just being a tight git because I've already spent...

If you remove the airbox and look where the flywheel is, it's there just above the flywheel and yeah if it's dirty and gunked up it could cause starting problems.

TDC (crank) sensor is another possible cause.

Someone else was complaining about sticking, creaking gears. Their solution was to re-grease the gear linkage. To be honest though the gearbox isn't the Clio's strong point and I sometimes have issues with gear selection now and then.

I know I'm probably going to get "just buy a new one" after posting this but I'll ask anyway. lol M.O.T is due soon and my rear wiper blade is split on the ends, it still wipes properly and doesn't leave the rear window all smeary but would a split wiper blade cause an M.O.T failure? Edit...

Lol reading fail, just noticed the price in your post up there. I'll probably see you there then mate, not to sure what time because it depends on how much mail I've got on tomorrow and hopefully my car won't start playing up like it has done today. Keep needing to bump start it to get it going.

Ohhh is it open then? I thought it might have been a pre-booked thing. How much is it?

Air locks in the powersteering pipes? Rear shockers on their way out?

Ok mate! What time do you reckon you'll be there till? If I get chance, I'll break off from my round and come down.
