Well they say it took months of development on the dyno with adjusting of the inlet pipes length and shape, and specific type of filters and sizes etc. Plus the genuine carbon inlet pipe that takes '7 hours of build time in itself'.

With shipping fees and import tax's etc its closer to £700.

I know the general rule of thumb is open air filters will suffer heat soak and thus lose power. And i'm also aware that the 197s inlet is difficult to improve on as standard and should be left alone for best performance. However i've been speaking to Madeno Racing of Holland and their new...

Typical cliosport fashion, shoot new members down because they come to the site with the 'dilusion' that a car club ( term used lightly ) can offer help. It may be a stupid question to the CS regulars, or as they're known lifeless geeks who spend their weekends spraying diamonds and sharking...

I'll stick my name down for the modified 197 :) Ph1 172 (Standard): Ph1 172 (Modified): Ph2 172 (Standard): Ph2 172 (Modified): Willdot. Ph2 172 Cup (Standard): Ph2 172 Cup (Modified): 182( Standard): 182 (Modified): 182 Trophy (Standard): 182 Trophy (Modified): 197 (Standard): Bux 197...

TDF i know its difficult to give vauge quotes but what sort of money would it cost an owner to drive in, have the throttle body kit fitted and setup and drive away reliably. Is this something that would ever be an option offered to road users or strictly just one off big bucks race packages...

They are here :p

Petrol is a very useful cleaner for foam air filters. There is a guide on the ITG website you can download though.

I was hoping not mate, its a bloody annoying noise. :(

Yeah this is the noise i get, i know its coming from the drilled discs as i get the noise when braking with just the handbrake. ( fronts are grooved, rears are drilled ).

Has anybody else noticed this or is my car developing a major problem? Got megane drilled rear discs and during normal driving they are absolutely silent, but get over 90mph or start braking heavily from any speed and you get this noise like a playing card in a bicycle wheel coming from both...

probs rear shocks lol ( bandwagon ).

Running standard clutch?

I dont fancy the bite and wear rate of a paddle friction plate without the torque handling properties of the pressure plate.

Its never been so good at the moment lol :p

I know there are loads of threads on how to paint them and what paint to use but theres a lack of photos on the site. Can anyone whos done this post pictures up so i can see what colours look good and what dont? Thinking of doing mine white on the white 197...

No only the paddle clutch, hence why im tempted to just use the original friction plate and hope it lasts.

Fancy selling it lol?

Standard cover with paddle plate is the opposite of what everyone else was suggesting?

I luv painted inlets, i wanna do mine silver so they keep cleaner longer. Whats the finish like on them?

yes very good Tom. Why not use your experience and knowledge to give me advice :p Seriously some good pointers from the pros would be appreciated.

Well I do drag it occassionally which is how I first realised the clutch was slipping and not upto the job of nitrous and launches. I'm very tempted to use the uprated pressure plate with a standard friction plate now though...?

Re: SE Christmas meal... Just an evening of cliosport.net staff lol? :cool: I can only imagine the conversations...

Absolutely thanks for your input mx1_champ. the car is only used at the weekend and never for travel just for fun so i can put up with abit of judder. Been in touch with Helix and they've assured me although its far from ideal, that spec clutch can be used on a road car.

This is what im after, whether after time you can adapt to live with it and before you know dont even think about it? :p

R.Sport themself, Madeno Racing of Holland and another reputable company i cant remeber.

About £500 Fred, Clio cup clutch is the same as the road car and the R3 Clutch is £1200 from R.Sport :(

I've been told it will be horrid at first but after a few hundred miles bed in and get a small degree of feel to it?

Seeing as the standard 197 clutch doesnt cope well with the extra +60bl/ft of the car and how its used on the strip alot, i've gone about ordering a more manly setup. Very little avaliable for the 197 so had Helix make a custom clutch through a retailer for my needs, only problem is its a 4...

Its alot of money to feel no difference though, im tempted to just fit a better clutch and leave the flywheel stock. Most people seem to think the gains are barely noticable!
