If I understand it correctly, the 182 is the 172 engine with a new inlet manifold, ECU and free-er flowing air filter. So, mod the 172 with those parts (minus the cams) and itll make very similar power to the 182. No point in fitting the parts to the 182 as they come free with it!! tonykart -...

DO you have contact details - tel/fax/email ?

Does anyone have part numbers/prices for the following official RenaultSport parts:- * Inlet manifold * Group N ECU (for different engine variants...172, Cup) * Cam/ECU kit Thanks!!

Take a look on the RS Owners Club board - quite a few people have had problems with Godspeed in the past.

What mesh was used in the pic of the orange Clio?

Rhys - sounds superb! R-Sport supply the modded inlet manifold and Nick Hill can also get them - both supplies are from RenaultSport in Dieppe I believe. And, I should think this is the very same manifold from the 182... Nick Hill reckons he can mod the std 172 manifold to the same spec...

The RenaultSport one, or your own one modded?

...also, Nick Hill is experimenting with a cam/ECU kit from RenaultSport which I believe is the very same kit R-Sport supply. This, together with a new inlet manifold (again, from RenaultSport in Dieppe) could well be the source of more power.

Search for a post by me - "172 handling transformed =)" and youll see that there is a solution, based around Eibach springs and, primarily, the fitting of rear shims on the suspension, a trick learnt from the Cup racer boyz.

The CUP has different (stiffer) dampers, different (stiffer, lower) springs, wheels with different offset and increased front castor angle.

After a few track days mine gave up @ 7k miles!!

A few people on here (ak_uk, wallisj) have the HP induction kit myself included. Whilst it doesnt add much power it does sound superb!! Im guessing that if partnered with the GroupN ECU itd certainly give you a few more bhp. Hillpower also offer a Renault approved cam kit with matching ECU...

Question for Roamer - when will his kit be available to buy, and for how much?!

Ive got the Pro-Kit springs and they lowered the front 15mm and the back 5mm. The Sportline kit is stiffer and lowers the car approx. 30mm. K-Tec have got it the wrong way round!! The Pro-Kit is great - not too bumpy, but really enhances the handling.

PM CB1A and/or project254 - theyll be able to help!

Ask CB1A - he got my engine nos from my reg....

Hey, could you fit a bike engine in a Smart car?!

...Ill second that! And, std brakes with Carbon Metallic pads are even better, especially if you do a few track days. Save your money and put it towards a Roamer throttle body kit ;-)

Bought them from Renault!

And how much wider is the V6 than a 172?

Amazing how companies like Hi-Spec stay in business if they treat their customers with such disrespect! I had the same problem with another very similar company back in the day when I was running around in a Fiesta turbo.

Very subjective really. The bolts the Clio Cup racers use fit a Mk1 but not a Mk2. I suspect K-Tecs are for the Mk1 so should be fine for your 172. I had some made up for my Mk2 172, adding about 1 degree -ve camber on the front. Initial turn-in improved, but its a subtle change not a...

Thanks! BTW, the V6 spoiler you supplied me has now been sprayed and fitted and looks superb!

Any idea where I can find the engine nos on my Mk2 172? Apparantly it starts "F4R..." but, even after looking in the manual (which tells you where to look) I cant see anything that resemlbes an engine nos. Help! P.S. Im after the nos so I can order a Group N ECU!

No, and theyre not even specific to the 172! Eibachs web site list them for 2002 on Clios (inc 172)

Fit Eibach Sportline springs if you want a bigger drop (30mm on a Mk2 172) - the ProKit drops a std Mk2 172 15mm front and 5mm rear, and your Cup is 3mm lower than a 172 already!

No, but it will work in a Fiat Ritmo :D

First R-Sport say the two cars have different engine variants, next they tell someone else the only difference is the exhaust. Next theyll be telling us the different is the little door badges!! Do these guys really have a clue?!

Interesting! The 172 and Cup are both listed as having a "F4R 732" engine, yet R-Sport seem to think the Cup has a "F4R 734" variant!
