    Another weight thread

    With an engine budget of say half that, would could you expect with carrying out some mechanical work myself Fred? Is a 6 point enough for for motorsport or does it depend on the series? Have you got any fibre glass panels to get to 850kg and is there any trim at all?

    Another weight thread

    So how much do you think 240bhp would cost. Then the car would need to be 870kg. I'm guessing ITB's, wild cams and a good bit of head work?

    Remap or hand held tuning device?

    Just every time ive looked on the website it's said the same thing but I was told on here you can still get them.

    Remap or hand held tuning device?

    Can you still get rs tuners new. It says on the fast chip website no enquiries about product availability. That would say no to me!

    With these mods an RS Tuner is the way to go.

    I wouldn't use them but would be contacting the seller to report this in the view of getting a replacement set.

    15" or 16" ???

    The ride on a ph2 was designed on 16's so that can't be right. I've had 16's on my cup for 9 years and never thought the ride was bad.

    15" or 16" ???

    15's for track use and 16's for road use for me.

    Brake pedal hissing after changing pads to DS2500s

    The fluid is going the opposite direction when you push the piston back into the caliper. That's what damages the seals as there would be very little pressure as its an open end in the resoviour.

    Clio V6 brakes

    I'm happy with the standard stoppers with pagid blues and brembo max discs but just spotted a set for sale and thought it might be an option. V6's had 18" wheel iirc so though I might be asking a bit much to fit them under 15's.

    Clio V6 brakes

    Anyone ever fitted this set up onto a 172 or 182? Easy to do and will the discs fit under 15" wheels?

    Brake pedal hissing after changing pads to DS2500s

    When pushing the piston back you should open the caliper bleed nipple to prevent any brake fluid being forced back into the master cylinder as it can damage the seals. If you have abs this is a must as it can play havoc with the system. A lot of people won't bother but its what I've been told...

    AST top mounts-do they have to be matched with coilover make?

    Top mounts are made for standard suspension or all coilovers. I have kw's and they work fine with them but I was told they will work with others.

    Poly bush or rose joint rear axle

    As it will improve the final 1% of a chassis setup. I'll keep it in mind for a future mod then. Thanks Tony!

    Poly bush or rose joint rear axle

    Do you think this kit will make the rear end more planted? What would it do to understeer/oversteer?

    Bleeding technique?

    According to the Renault workshop manual, the Clio Brakes need bled in a x method by doing os rear, ns front, ns rear then os front. That's the way I've always bled them too.

    TheWheelSpecialist?

    Got my 18" p1 wheels done in the Glasgow branch and they did a top job for £240 all in. Highly recommended!

    182 brakes upgrade?

    I use brembo max discs with pagid rs4's for track use as recommended by yozz on ready for the track. He said you need the max discs to stop the pagid pads glazing over and so fair have done 5 track days and about 1000 road miles on a set of pads and I've still got about 75% of the pads left...

    clio 172: manifold to cat fitting - vibrations

    Try the free fix first. Loosen off your top engine mount and pull the engine forward a bit and nip up again. Go for a drive and see how it is. The flange on the cat should be cut away slightly to clear the subframe. Was it?

    Classic 172 with 200bhp ebay advert :P

    I'm going to paint my inlet mani and mounts and get a remap then if that's how east 200hp is to get. :clap:

    clio 172: manifold to cat fitting - vibrations

    Sounds like it is vibrating off the subframe. Can you see/feel if there is clearance all the way round the joint?

    Ancillary belt/sparks replacement

    You need to take the inlet manifold off to get to the plugs so £80 isn't too bad IMO. I have a cup so not too sure on the aux belt on yours.

    Eibach prolines std shocks ?

    I ran them for about a year on standard shocks and they were fine. Thought they were a bit more forgiving over bumpy roads than the standard cup springs but if you're wanting to lower the car then these are not for you.

    15" dynamique alloys ok for track?

    I'm sure they would be fine, just heavy for a 15" wheel.
