    MK2 1.6 CLIO K4M TURBO CONVERSION

    Go with an f4r and a ClioTurbo.co.uk conversion, probably still work out cheaper. There is a few custom k4m turbos about, none in the uk though as far as i know

    Realistically, how many miles before my Clio dies?

    ive never tipped a delivery driver, I don't tip the DHL man when he brings me shiney new car parts so why would I tip the guy bringing my dinner lol. Ill tip a waiter or waitress in a restaurant if I get good customer service, but that's becoming very rare these days too!!

    Realistically, how many miles before my Clio dies?

    Lol at never use your own car for work as you never fet back what u paid in, my car cost me £1000 and my company has gave me £2500 in expenses for using it! In reply to the original question, we have been using these engines for driving school cars since 2001, usually change the cars at 140k...

    Clio Sport 200 Auto

    Im not slating the car at all, it has its negatives, the problem is as a package its not good enough compaired to the competition to out weigh the negatives. Look at the out going 200, crashy ride, horrid front bumper, s**t fuel consumption, none of this mattered because as a package, very...

    Does this torque figure seem high?

    strong engine ones with exhaust, filter, matched/good inlets can do 160lbft

    do clio sports always break??

    Ive had 4 172s and a 182 and they have all been mega reliable and just needed serviced and a few wear and tear parts!

    Mk4 0.9 TCE

    Diesel will outlast the petrol imo, i agree tho if not doing miles go for a tce and avoid the 1.2 16v, or a gt tce 120 pre reg/2nd hand
  19. Martin_172

    Mk4 0.9 TCE

    I wouldnt worry about it, will just remove it if it causes issues, the new ones map really well ours has over 200lbft goes like f**k!

    Clio Sport 200 Auto

    Nothing been said yet but i would imagine so, wouldnt be surprized if the 220 engine does too like the 265 trophy did

    Mk4 0.9 TCE

    It's 4 services as far as i know so yeah you would get your yearly service, my mrs is doing 30k a year ago we just get 18, 36, 54 and 72k out of them They have a dpf so IM not sure if short journeys would cause some issues i just do about 7 miles a day in my 80 and its sound but no dpf on it

    Would You Do It ?

    It completes the car, i want to keep it standard and if i spent half as much on a stainless it would always annoy me!
  23. Martin_172

    Lets see your OCD Drive ways (thats obsessive clio disorder!!)

    Trophy is spotless, not a mark on it so it doesnt scratch the flat out blasting itch! Then theres the dci80 for going back and forward to work and filling with car parts/dirty s**t! And the mk4 for my mrs 130mile commute and days out with the pram!
  24. Martin_172

    When to shift, shift light?

    my cup is on standard map and never saw much benefit to taking it past 7000rpm, Trophy is on Fastchip 98ron and still isn't tailing off at 7500rpm but ive never taken it any higher!

    Mk4 0.9 TCE

    ive got a mapped dCi 90 one, night and day compaired to the mk3 absolutely love it, not tried the TCE though, I heard they were a bit gutless, better than the 1.2 16v 75 though!

    Would You Do It ?

    Renault parts specialist is doing it a bit cheaper than that lol, and obviously ive not ordered a cat, fitting kits, clamps, hangers and sleves as these are all in good condition anyway, its just a backbox and centre section I needed!
  29. Martin_172

    I have a Clio diesel. I have questions.

    Just noticed this, as above not without mmodification or stick a set of 172 hubs and brakes on it
  30. Martin_172

    Would You Do It ?

    As long as you have the standard parts then id just leave it as it is, mine needs an exhaust so im going to buy a new renault one and keep it to the side and stick a cheaper sportex one or somthing on it for using!
