cup+passenger= 172 so not much point really and u get cc, ABS, esp, etc,etc on the 172 so i would say 172 cos its a miles better car than a box with a 172 engine :p

i use it and i sware it gives me better fuel economy, recently drove down to my mates in torquay averaged about 42mpg, on the way back got 38mpg on tescos reg unleaded and if anything i was driving slower due to a weekends worth of beer!!!

the new ones arnt a mini they suck, my mum was thinking about getting one and they really are horrible cars look like a early learning centre car on the inside hence why she stuck to her beetle. As for them saying u cant tell a RS apart from other models, and is a cooper s any diff i can only...

Howdy i wasnt really going to mod my 172 bcos im trying to keep it a bit more civilised than my last car (205 rallye with a full through exh and carbs!!) but that extra bit of poke never goes amis, what would a decat and panel filter give and possibly a rechip/piggy back? or should i just wait...

i was watchging that look really good, reminds me of the olden days of when the BTCC actually deserved its name!! Proper contact!!

oh dear, i remember a while ago someone was selling a speaker thing that made a dump valve woosh noise when u took your foot of the go go pedal, that made me chuckle :p

friday went out in my local town as a couple of mates came back from uni, lastnight i went out in blackpool to syndicate wicked place, have been feeling sorry for myself all afternoon (hungover big stylee :sick:) so have been chilling out watching 24 and drinking lots of water getting ready for...

I woundered about this, say if i run it on optimax and then switch to reg unleaded the ecu would then reduce the timing, but if i then switch back to optimax would it advance again it again?

Iain, 172, BOLTON!!!!

A weekend :D

Take it you are on about VVT, i read somewhere that it doesnt have any effect after around 1400rpm and that the kick at 4k is purely due to the cam duration/overlap not the VVT? Or is my knowledge of renaults crappy version of vtec all wrong?

Isnt that off cam tho? hence the need for vvt so renault could use mad cams to pass emmision laws? i thought that vvt was only in use upto 1400rpm to improve idleing + emmision not to 4k, when it comes on cam :).

There is such a thing as on cam as that is what happens at 4k... 1k nothing 2k....3k.....4k BAM, ON CAM, this is where the duration of the cams comes into play and the gas speed through the head is increased as the inlet and exhaust valves are just about open at the same time drawing more air...

im 21 have a 172 and insurance is 1400, 3 yrs no claims and have never claimed

From bury, im from Bolton mate, i used to have a 205 rallye but now have a 172, wanted a bit of lux after the 205, still have my pug actually will be going soon once ive got 12months mot on it and cleaned it!! enjoy the clio they are wicked cars

Reet sorted the code thing, anyone one have any idea about how the interior light works? what controls it and where or have a wiring diagram, cheers

Hello did post this in interior bit but i think more people look in here http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=75081&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=75081&PagePosition=1 Cheers, Iain

right i have just found a four didgit number on a sticker inside my warrenty and service booklet, its on a sticker under the vin number is this the radio code?

Right this is really starting to annoy me now, my interior light stays on all the time and so does the door open light on the dash board, both switches seem to be working (tested by multimeter) and there is a charge in the wires connected to them of 0.59v, its an import and has a crappy alarm...

But if u get an itg maxogen and a chip then u will!!! (sorry finding it hard to believe that a filter and chip can give u 21bhp)

Just a quick one was woundering if the cup came as standard without that crappy engine cover thing that covers up all the inlet manifold, Ta.
