    they are spot on for VW stuff especially APR as they are putting quality maps on. I was looking to have my new DCi Clio remapped, the wifes car was done by Superchips via Bluefin but they don't support the Euro6 ECU in the facelift cars yet, I done loads of research on where to get it done and...

    good work, how much difference did the 5th gear change make at 70mph?

    seems EFI is about the closest highest regarded place. Ive used EcoTune who advertise that they should be able to do a job like that but tbh id rather upload a TomTom map of Belgium to my ECU than one of their maps after my experience getting a STANDARD car mapped.

    cs_rich's RS250 Megane

    be purely cosmetic hitting a deer, that could be a bargain to buy back and repair.

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    If course I've heard of it, and driven one but very rarely do you hear of it mentioned much, I remember on here there was about 100 of the previous ones, every forum you went to people were getting them, but these days everyone just seems to speak about m140, A45, focus, Mégane, golf, civic etc...

    All new Mk5 Renault Clio

    couldn't have put it better myself, if I had the choice of my 220 trophy vs my 200 cup, 182 trophy, ph1 172 etc etc id take the 220 trophy every day doesn't matter if it was a B road blast, track day, commute to work, motorway cruise, doesn't mean the previous cars were bad, they were fanstastic...

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    Everyone complained about it because they don't like change, it was too much change at once, turbo over NA, 5 door over 3 door, auto over manual I get reminded on Facebook memories every year around about the launch date of how outraged I was and how I would never swap my 200 for a 5 door auto...

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    Nothing new there though is there? 197 Vs 200 225 Vs r26 MK1 V6 Vs MK2 V6 When do they ever get it right on the first attempt lol

    182 (non cup pack) Suspension refresh sense check

    I believe you should have had extra caster lower arms from the factory, weren't they were introduced for the 172 cup and everything from 172 cup on words had them?

    Best in the UK!

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Struggling for time as always! but was day off today so started to tackle the F4R, it had 15yrs and 65k of grime on it so stripped it all down, got the PAS and aircon pumps off it as im not using them, got the top end all painted up, need to get a shot of a Dremel to prep the bottom end and...

    Another Kangoo 182

    id love to build one next but ive got a feeling 3x vans and no cars is getting a bit obsessive

    Clio 220 trophy

    I used to get low 40's in mine going up and down from Scotland to Manchester for work and that was at 70-80 most of the way on my fast morning commute mostly motorway and B roads high 20's, always in race, not that it really makes any difference to economy

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    coming from the guy with the 19yr old clio van, I couldn't drive that!

    K-tec Mk4 RS development car

    you think so? After 12 RS Clio's, every one since the ph1 172 (excluding the V6 and original 200 EDC) I thought the 220 Trophy was light years ahead of them all, enjoyed it more than any of them hands down, the only car I properly miss tbh!

    Picking a good Clio 200?

    I bought the best 197 I could and it bit me a few months later, in all honesty if I was buying another id buy the cheapest, straight one I could find in the colour I wanted and just keep the rest of the cash for the common faults as they come. doing an exhaust manifold on my mums driveway in...

    Clio RS REPLACEMENT

    I beleive later 200s had the revised software, someone mentioned the early box can be updated but Renault won't do it lol

    Clio RS REPLACEMENT

    Nothing wrong with the box it was the poor software that wasn't upto the job the 220box/software was fantastic, my mates golf R dsg was as good as the 220 trophy box as standard once he had spent a lot of money on aftermarket software for it!

    Are ph2 clio sport's appricating ?

    my mate was looking for a cheap 172 for a project last year and put it on hold when he moved house, he's now on the look out again and said to me the other day he cant believe the difference, a year ago £1000 was getting you something that was a good enough base to work with and now even the...
