I have an SGS "low profile" jack which is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Ton-Low-Profile-Trolley-Jack-/181139297816?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a2cbe5618 but you can't get it to the subframe bolt without parking the car on planks as the back end is too high and scrapes on the skirt...

Well that's what I can see from the pictures http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-RENAULT-CLIO-EXTREME-4-mk2-16V-SPORT-/171646237578?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27f6e9bb8a

sorry I read this the wrong way round. Swap the ph1 breather onto the 182 engine then use all the ph1 inlet, tb etc on the 182 engine.

Decat and springs are probably the only thing I would do if you're not going all out.

This is a similar issue with the 182. With cup pack it sits 20mm lower as standard so 30mm lowering springs only make 10mm difference. 20mm would make a difference though.

The only differences between the engines are the breather on the cam cover which you can simply swap over. As said exhaust ports are a bit bigger on the ph1 but the exhaust manifold bolt pattern is the same. Your'll use your existing inlet plenum so there will be no difference with the throttle...

Good idea matey. the squib for a 172 cup is the same as any clio so you could likely find one for £10 to replace it!

these were mine, lots of super glue, cut the fog supports out, 4" pipe

I've never come accross this and it's a most odd problem. One of the regulator flaps must be blocking the flow. Is there any change when you press recirculation on the unit.

I'm down in Devon occasionally so can programme out the lights using clip if you fit them and are near to lympstone.

You can hear when it boosts up. Boost will generally be after 2k. Hissing noise. If it's not boosting properly you will be accelerating extremely slowly, revs won't build up quickly. My egr valve is sticky at the moment and stopping my boost building up properly, i'm below 2k and put my foot...

Replace the ecu kit as above. ECU, UCH, key fob and decoder ring. Make sure the uch is the same level as yours e.g. if you have an n2 then get an n2!

the pump will be the same Ash. If the pipes are okay at the moment then I would change the pump and then have a look at the pipes when up and running again. Make sure no PS fluid has got on the cambelt. Correct on the pipe being different

fancy getting a video of it?

changed the oil pressure switch first mod on this one was xenons

can't believe I missed this!!

yeah DIY. 10 bolts on the bottom of the sunroof with a 10mm ratchet spanner. Get some 3m blue tape to mask around the sunroof so you don't get sealant on the roof...

I really don't know a resolution but set up my dual screen at work the other day and used a splitter on the back of the graphics card. Maybe you could do something similar. The UI recognised there were 2 screens so it didn't just split the resolution and the screens were different sizes.

I pass these cars everyday and have never seen one looking fresh. They are parked on blackheath common and every residents car gets absolutely filthy being parked next to the road.

fixed the anti roll bar bracket. Convinced myself it felt like a new car

Yeah I agree. Decent oil lasts a very long time. I used Nanodrive as well, change every 10k. Previously have used fuchs titan pro (or whatever it's called) 5w40 and I couldn't knock it. Ever since using asda oil in my first car and the majority of it coming out of the exhaust I've never used...

Yeah. You can either program out the side airbags with clip or put resistors in the connector blocks like in one of the guides. Takes longer to wire in the pretensioners but the same resolution as the airbags if you choose not to plug them in

I think we approach modifying cars in a different way

but the gain is not a gain you would feel!

Yes that is the right cat, yours has been sleeved to fit a cat back exhaust. Anyone with a welder can sleeve the cat. Just cut off the donut and weld the correct diameter pipe on. This was my sleeved cat, cost me £15 to get welded and a few quid for the pipe. You can probably cut that pipe...

I wouldn't get any panel filter. The gain is so negligible you'd never notice it. Of course if the car has a MAF sensor then don't get an oiled filter e.g. k&n

I though the car ran better with the pops and bangs map on but only used to put it on for a "feel good friday" It's bad for the exhaust valves so I wouldn't run it everyday. 98 ron map is fine. Believe I still have some calibrations knocking about somewhere.

dci has a map sensor. Thats the one that clips onto the airbox. If the car runs better without it plugged in then that's the faulty part. When you replace it it will run better than with it unplugged. Clean the hard EGR/intake pipe whilst your at it as that will make it run better. Do you get...

Rubbish update. Braking problem fixed, the outer ARB bracket had snapped off leaving this stub of what it once was. Fitted braided front lines which now means it's braided brakes all round. Other than that all is the same :smile: still clocking up the miles nicely. Will be going to the...

it could be the alternator pulley on the way out or one of the aircon pipes jangling on something
