My 172 when it was running 162.9bhp (just decat and filter fitted, probably losing power through the filter) managed a 15.01 at york. Will be interesting to see what it does now!

hmmmmm, never seen one of them before! Custom jobby maybe??

Jesus! Are they that bad!! Im getting some new ones this weekend, dunno what to get though?! I want something good but kinda long lasting too and for everyday use so r888's are useless. and yeah the oil cooler, rad and intercooler looks amazing, really neat, my favourite part of the whole...

Yeah il defo post some videos! Altogether now its taken 4 months or so but only about 5 weeks from when the car went in, but thats not due to Paul, its due to other suppliers letting him down and sending custom parts that didnt fit right and tbh there timescales were shocking! Also with these...

I managed a 15.01 in my 172 a couple months ago at york, when it was running 162.9bhp. Keep trying, im sure you can beat a 15.9!

Yeah I nipped past this morning when I was dropping my gf at work! Sounded awesome, needed some mapping though as it was running a bit bad when I was there, He must have just started the mapping though coz it was about 9.45am so im guessing that was just plonked on the dyno for the first run to...

Ok cool. I was a little worried as my brother is a member on 106owners and he got his about a week ago. Thanks Brian

I havnt recieved my tickets and car pass yet!! Should I be worried or will they arrive this week!

My old mk4 gsi was running 203bhp (standard apart from exhaust) and did 1/4 mile in 14.51 that's faster than my 172 (with decat) which did it in 15.01. But there isn't much in it tbh! Astra feels quicker though bacause it has alot more torque!

Anytime - mini meet could be good :D

Yeah ur right, I think if I strip it I need to do it properly, what does this consist of?

RS Tuning. mmmm, I just dont know!!!:S:S:S

I get my car back next week with a nice power boost, a supercharger. Im going for the racer/track look and I am wondering whether I should strip the rear of the car out? e.g rear seats, parcel shelf, rear 1/4 panel cards. Whats your view? Im totally undecided, I dont really need 5 seats but...

Yeah that would be great, if you find the problem let me know and if I find it il let you know! I tried to get a coil pack today, no joy! I can get one from Renault through a friend for £45 but I really don't want to spend £45 if it isn't that! Same with the tdc sensor coz that looks like a...

Yeah tried this, the throttle body isnt like it is on a 172, its a stupid plastic box thing! tried cleaning it though. Gunna go to the local scrap yard tomorrow and get a tdc sensor and a coil pack n just try it. Can someone tell me where the tdc sensor is?

wheres the tdc sensor? il just try both! and yeah it idles at bout 600rpm most of the time, then cuts out when you try to pull out of a junction!

How much are they roughly? How easy are they to do? I never done one before?

Is that just a guess or have you had experiance with this? I dont want to buy a coil and realise it isnt that! lol

My Girlfriend has a 2002 Clio Expression 1.2 16v 48k miles. It idles really low sometimes and cuts out, worrying! :S Sometimes its fine but it happens even on warm starts, not just cold starts. Its really bugging me as I cant understand what it is. Today I dropped the oil and used engine...

Call Paul at RS Tuning. He'll give you a good price.

just ring paul at RS Tuning, im getting mine supercharged there as we speak! Personally I would much rather have a supercharger than a turbo, I wanted a turbo at first but look into it, supercharger i better all round, and believe it or not it sounds 10x better! But im sure Paul can do you a...

I think they look pretty cool, well made aswell! I want to see one fitted, if they look ok then il buy one of these! although the long one looks shorter than the short one! wierd, maybe its the wrong pic!

oooooo, sounds like il defo have to speak to paul tomorrow then. Thanks for your help everyone, Ben.

is that specific for a 172 or do you need these for any car? If you need em for any car then he will have them, he did the timing belt last month on my mates evo and hes doing my brothers Lupo belt next week. So if hes done them, can he do mine?

if he has the tool I know it will be done right, but is there a specific tool he needs for a clio sport thats different to any other cars timing belt tools? so I can ask him if he has it first

what specific tools does he need? this guy is a bit of a wizard with motors, he put 2 v6 engines in an astra van for my mate, one in the front an one in the back, then 6 months later, turboed them, lol. He knows what hes doing but if he needs a specific timing tool for a 172 then I doubt he...

Do they need anything renault specific? I know a guy who always charges me cheap, hes a bit of a family friend. He charged me £120 to put my kevlar clutch in and only £160 to recon my gerabox! This guy is doing my brothers timing belt on his Lupo for £30 if he buys the parts, if he can do the...

will the supercharger make anything more complex at renault? They wont know what the hell to do will they! lol. I think im best off just asking Paul if his dad can do it for me while the cars there, before he starts mapping it and we get a big bang! lol. I would just worry if it went...

AUX belt has been done though with the supercharger, I just need the timing belt. which companys are good? any reccomendations?

Your telling me! I never realised it hadnt been done until I had a PROPER look to make sure tonight. RS Tuning are doing it, I know Paul doesnt do timing belts but his dads garage will so he could sort it. What is a decent price? I realise cheap isnt always the best but after spending over...
