Cheers guys My dealer said he will fit one in for me but I dont know much about the performance gain in it

Tony when u know the detail drop me a msg :P cheers

i reckon if u knock the firewall down u might be able to fit one of those Volkswagen W8 engines in there... they are seriously small for a V8 but thats just by eyes so i m not so sure the Clio bay does look extremely small

yeh the kart....... unshakable i tell u ..... unless u really full lock to lock n then lock the rears n do a 180 other than that..... nah cant get no oversteer just v.v.v.v..v.v.v.v.little u hardly know if u dont know wut its like ... one of the guys (mike) told me is becoz many ppl cant control...

oh figures ahha i kept seein S500 or S600 mercs have these system... i think it wouldnt be such a good idea in a Clio ..... sound deadenin is not the great point of the car what other head units would u recommend for good sound quality... dont mind the looks of it really...... lookin at medium...

hey guys Just a topic that came in to mind. Which air filter is the best out there for 172?? This includes, Cold air box, Air cone , Air cone with heat shield, air filter replace factory one (keep it in the box) Out of all these options which one gives the best power gain?!

Cliomen wut do u guys plan to do at meetings??Unfortunately we dont have Clio clubs in NZ , we have boy racer clubs though ahah not my thing even though i m their age

china is a tough place to be :P ehhee is ur TB streetable? tell me when the meet is when u know Oh yeh i dont ahve a car in hk is that ok with u ahha

I just got an email back from them, they said early next year should have the kit done and have the aviation style refueling system (solve my problem) Big worry about htose wider track things it might be a mega job compare to just havin spacers on

Hey guys I was just browsin on the web n saw the Alpine F1 status looks cool. Anyone know anythin about it? quality of sound? n so forth? would it work on 172 and also be able to link with our indash display n the steerin control unit? I m a complete idiot at ICE so please drop me some comments

From wut i gather ...... lets just say a notch down from CTR or Integra R its pretty much a 1.8 rev happy engine in a very ordinary carolla shell I think the maximum power is at 7400rpm or so very high so..... more like the first Integra Type R. Strong up revs but weak down low

u guys having any clio club meetin durin late Nov till early jan? luv to meet some of the clio maniacs ahha at least ppl who like cars sin

i think we are lookin at Integra Type R price... n every comment i read from magazines to wutever still reckons CTR or Integra type R is better. Lack of bottom end i heard (sorry never driven coz we dont have it over in our market) but it revs very very hard..... interior crap compare to type R...

aarh i m still preparing for my exam in New Zealand ahah i will be in hk .. latest 24th november n Ben told me i can go see him n his car :P Oh yeh is Clio 172 popular in HK ? over in NZ although the car is not that expensive they only manage to sell 20 of phase 1 n 1.5 car(sounds strange) per...

Just had a look at some wide arch kits i realise that the Clio S1600 (say if they make one) just wondering how on earth are they gonna connect the new body with the existing fuel door? i notice that in P 106 their fuel caprs are left standard because the wide arch does not cover the original...

haha they r on the "Buy all you can" basis... hey Ben I heard you made a throttle body for a 172 customer in hk n running mirelli fuel system. Can you tell me a bit more about that ?

i think its 4x15 thats wut it says in the spec sheet i got

they said they will provide some hub or spacers? would that screw up the cars performance, handling n so forth?

about the super chip thing guys my friend done it on his phase 1 172 check at http://www.superchips.co.nzwww.superchips.co.nz ( i think thats the site) n find the chart for Renault Clio, thats his car. New Zealand Renault dealer got this kit that includes remap, exhaust and air filter...

perhaps we should have a dedicated topic of the week or wutever? perhaps we can all chip in to it n make it more constructive
