It isn't a quicker car at all. My dad's got one. We often have a play of a weekend down to devon etc . My 182 minces it with ease tbh. 0 to 60. 30 to 70 etc etc. Always keeping the 182 revved up and in the correct gear etc. Doesn't cause me any issues.
When i say mince I don't glide off into...
You'd likely pick up a decent set of 182s with tyres for around 200. I'd stick your current ones on ebay mate. See what sort of interest you get. Oh and definitely lower it! Just loweres my 182. Looks a lot better, feel those bumps though!
As Gus says. Its hopeless. Your best bet now other than replacing the xenons is to "pack out" the lights with hard cardboard to hold them into position and hope they pass mot. Very unfortunate .
Yeah. I've come up against alot of tdis. Off the lights etc the clio kills them up to stupid speeds. But once rolling, not a chance IME. Pisses me off. Wish i still had my mg zr diesel!
Mine never changed tbh with the rs map. Just idled better. But its trues decent powered turbo'd diesel will keep up if not pulls way from an rs clio..shame really.
Long enough stretch I'd imagine the 172/182 would eventually pull away.. crap when you think about it.
Vxr was running 275 bhp so i was told when i bought it off a friend. Was very quick of course. Handled s**t. No character. Sold to my brother who's just as boring as the car so win win. Decided to spend a bit on the 182. Much better car now. :smile:
Astra was just running a remap. Spent 1k on...
Bought one from auto world renault parts (former trader on here) 52 quid with new loom. Awkward to fit new loom i found very limited space..came supplied with heat shrinks..These were s**t so used normal connectors .
