Is that a piggy back to the OE ECU?

I always buy the rear blade from Renault, fronts I've ordered on E Bay, I think the Bosch aero blades.

I should be up for this

What a cracking Clio, love it.

#needy! Good to catch up with you Mark

Cheers, I thought I recognised it after his photoshoot threads. Apologies for not getting round to speaking to you too.

The Cup 172, is that Steve's? I must apologise for not getting round to speaking to everyone today.

Thanks for arranging the meet up, it was nice to see a few people there. Also good to go out in the Trophy and the other 200 EDC. Hopefully there will be more meet ups there throughout the year.

It's not down for rain mate, come over in the van

Yeah ok, it'll never be used again but it can go back in the toolbox. Cheers

Cloud cover, that'll do. Full English, oh yes

Been reading this thread and have to say it gets better with every mod. The wheels MAKE it, tasteful, subtle mods that complement each other.

Adaptronic ECU, Chris at EFI knows these the best. Mileage shouldn't come into it, I drove to and from EFI in a day from Essex to have my old supercharged Clio map tweaked. Nice to see a neat phase one 172 turbo'd

I imagine the Sadev gearbox being the biggest difference, coupled with slicks that's where the lap times are the quicker. Obviously a few ingredients like chassis, 4 pots, rollcage, suspension play their part making the Cup racer but imagine the Sadev making the single most difference to that car.

I might be wrong but maybe people don't look into financing the car by borrowing the money from a bank. With the dealers you get the choice of outright finance or the PCP deal which initially lowers the monthly payments but have that balloon payment at the end. New cars are a better interest...

To think you can pick them up for about 10k now, there was a white Cup selling privately for that price when I was looking. It really is a lot of car with the tech for that money, then add in the cost of a map you really do have good car on your hands.

And then with the Renault 4 warranty when they came out in 2013 your hands are tied. I do believe you'll slowly start to see this happening with these from now on and especially next year when the warranties run out. Also it couldn't overshadow the Megane 250 in power

Genuinely surprised me to see the bhp figure, book torque figure says 177ft/lbs. Although it's close it's down again. You'd think with the Mk4 they would have come with the mapped figures as standard or have the torque similar to the 226bhp. When you look at the Cooper Works with 228bhp and a...

Start figure 189bhp - 172ft/lbs torque Mapped result 226bhp - 250ft/lbs torque Had the ITG filter fitted too. So much better now with that big hike in torque.

Thank you! It's getting there, couple more tricks up the sleeve....

The Trophy does look a bit better than the 200. At least with the Cooksports it gives you a better ride height but doesn't compromise the ride.

Screaming out for Speedline 2118 wheels... Like the colour.

No spacers fitted, it's not like the 172-182s buried an inch inside the arch. Luckily they site nicely in them.

Had the Cooksport springs fitted yesterday and couldn't resist taking it out somewhere in the 'light' to have a better look. Looks wise it's made a massive difference, it will settle more apparently. The main thing for me is its lost that massive front wheel arch gap and lost that reverse rake...

Drag that Scrooby out and come along mate...weather permitting I imagine

I should be up for this

2 bucket wash today, after the products Ron used its really made it an easy, effortless clean. Cooksport springs are going on tomorrow than another treat for it this Friday.

Booked in to be done next Monday, I can't wait either
