What whistling ?....... I can only her my lurrvvlly Magnex!

Front and rear strut braces from OMP, re-finished in Iceberg silver http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/front_brace.jpg http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/rear_brace.jpg

Maybe Jeremy Im missing somit here .... but what REALLY is the point of this exercise from Reno? It this to mark the final production of the 172 / Cup or are there new offerings on the sporting Clio horizon? From what I see as an outsider the Cup has been selling like hot cakes recently and been...

Cant you go to some of these custom exhaust places ....Powerflow? and get them to make a matching centre section in SS?

To be honest the only Clio Ive never had sunroof problems is the 172 ..... the reason is therefore obvious .... no sunroof!! Ive had 6 Clios in the past with sunroofs and all of them apart from one (an 1999 1.6 RXE) had the odd creak here an there. My latest 1.6 takes the biscuit though! I dont...

Ill vouch for Mikes comments. I have the same setup as mike, twin 3.5" cat back with Eibach Pro suspension. No knocks or rattles either! Did when I had the -40mm AVOs fitted though! My local Magnex dealer fitted the MK1 172 system to my MK2 within an hour with nil problemo!

Yep the 1.6 dynamique is a closer compromise to the 172. The insurance cant be that huge a difference over the 1.4? I own both so biased but reckon the 1.6 is the best allrounder in the Clio range.

6 weeks for my 2003 last Feb

Sympathise with you mate. Having the same problem with my 2003 1.6 dyn! However, my dealer is going to order a new sunroof frame ..... so keepin my fingers crossed :(. BTW is your sunroof manual or electric. Mine is electric.

Report the problem to Reno UK customer services. If you look at the Clio brochures Im sure in small print the UK list price includes plates, delivery and 12 month road fund license.

Secret I stumbled on after scraped and painfull arms was to detatch the metal pipe that is screwed into the rad fan (has flex hoses either side of it) then you can get your arm right in there (oh err!) and twist off that filter. BTW the 1.6 is in the same ball park ...... if not worse!!!:( Oh...

lookin good mate. the other rims are swet but the ones on the top picture are nicer :D

Yep, because the rims are closer to the arches (due to the lower profiles) it makes the car look lower. Also the rims are physically bigger.

Gaz if your going for 17s the overall rolling diameter ideally. to retain the same gearing. should be the same as the 16s so ride height will not be affected ..... does that make sense? e.g. In general if you go up a rim size you drop a profile size and up a section therefore the RD should...

Gaz, I previously had -40mm Chassis Dynamic (AVO) springs on my 172 (with standard 16" rims/tyres) . The car looked tops and handled really well on smooth flat roads but unfortunately screwed up the handling on the twisty A/B roads (fronts were bottoming out). Handling/performance always over...

Yep that position is a good choice. I found it improved the rear downforce by 50N and added about 25mph to the terminal speed. :devilish: LOL

Gary, really need a picture of the turret top with the mount removed to see where they removed the metal. You wont see anything when its been re-assembled. whatever they done sounds like a result though:) Looks like they didnt replace the damper assy as your picture shows a rusty shaft top!

@ RB, Cheers for the info. So did they have to remove the whole ECU and frame assembly or do they just remove the curved section above the ECU? Looks like the later from the picture above. Either way will probably have to remove my strut brace to allow access. The run was probably done with the...

Get the dealer to fit a locking wheel nut to a non-marked hole with the standard lock key and standard wheel brace while you watch. If it marks it you have a case. If it doesnt it proves it was done pre-delivery. Either way Im sure you have a case!

RB, where do they actually mount the Unichip and where do they wire it into the ECU loom. Interested as Im going to get mine done when the new Dastek UK retail premises opens up in Scotland in July. Do you have any closeup pictures of the install. Good RR result BTW. Im running the K&N as...

Cheers m8. Think I explained most of it in the following thread...

if you remove the "mystery" air valve mounted below the NS headlight you can get a 75mm duct down there to the front grill http://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/coldair05.jpghttp://www.fifegallery.co.uk/domains/cliosport/coldair05.jpg...

Remember seing a company a while back selling gear locks that were fitted onto the floor next to the gear lever, locking the car in reverse gear (similar to the old Saab 900 system..... just cant remember the companys name:(

Mine does that all the time. No problem in the morning but if left for a few hours its like a hen on a hot tin roof until the temp guage reaches two notches then it clears its throat and is back to normal. I got Reno to upgrade my ECU and it helped a lot but is still detectable. I believe the...

Never mind Ben ... Im sure all will be revielled eventually in good time LOL!

A picture tells a 1000 stories ...... we need to find an owner that has had this mod done, whip of their nuts (...oh errr!) and take some photographic evidence!! LOL Didnt realise this was happening to 172s also Only thought it was a Cup problem. Hence my comments re castor angle? Also the Cup...

.... hhmmm donno mate? I would imagine the turret tops are welded in at an angle so that the strut rods pass through the turret holes perpendicular for most models including the 172 With that slightly diffrent caster angle on the Cups the top mounts will not sit perfectly flat. Arent the top...

I would imagine it would be on the top of the turret hole nearest the bulkhead / firewall. I may be way off, but reckon this problem has been introduced due to the diffrent castor angle on the Cups? Which is going to push the top of the stut towards the rear of the car under load causing...

Cheers Ben for the info. I know what you mean regards interest. All sounds a good idea at the time but when it comes to opening the wallet the idea fades quickly:). As I said I wont be considering the idea for a few months yet ...... maybe the next available opporunity though! Has anybody...

Seems like an excellent price if there is enough interest. I may be seriously considering NOS later in the year. Plan to get a Unichip fitted first to get all my ducks in a row with my existing zorst and IK mods. Can these kits be run from the Unichip or is it better to use an independent...
