    Clio 4 RS VS Fiesta ST EcoBoost

    Me. And anyone who says the box is slow is wrong. Bang it in race and use the paddles, quicker than any manual box by far and it doesn't detract from the driving experience imo. Then if you want to chill out and cruise just leave it in sport. I'd have bought one but its not raw enough. None of...

    after the clio now on to new pastures

    Epic motor, I'd have gone for that over a Clio too!

    Joe's Ph2 172

    Look at the Sparco R100 seats, very nice for the price. There was a set on here for sale too iirc.

    Clio 4 RS VS Fiesta ST EcoBoost

    Can't agree more. On Top Gear standard vs standard is set the quicker lap time too. If I was on the lookout for a daily hot hatch it would be the Clio. I've driven both and the Clio is the better road car. The Fiesta is an 'end of the line' chassis whereas the Clio is not meaning potential...

    Buying advice needed... Dc2 or trophy??

    I can see a DC2 costing more in the long run than a Trophy, the Clio is also more refined and easier to live with as a daily. Will it be different to a 172 Cup? Not by much I wouldn't have thought. Slightly comfier and more toys yes, but the base car is still the same.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    Cheers :) It's taken a different route to what I'd originally intended! In hindsight I'd have done things differently and it would have been great to know what I know now when I started!

    What offset?

    Don't know. That's why I said possibly! Come to think of it, it'll be Scott's cup, he had to angle them too.

    ITB'd Road & Track Ph1 Titanium 172

    On the move PAS simply isn't required IMO, there's more feel. I got rather sideways coming out of Old Hall corner at Oulton Park and managed a save no problem. However I wouldn't recommend it for a road car, it makes parking more difficult. It mounts in the same position but needs a separate...

    itb spec input

    Ahh you might have a rail without a pressure regulator. In which case it may well be easier to change the injectors as I'm not certain if you can run the ph1 fuel rail without the ph1 fuel pump. I'm in Llandudno

    New guy with a modded 2014 Clio RS

    Chances are it'll be ok. I'd just be careful about using launch control that's all.

    itb spec input

    No need for injectors! 4 bar fuel pressure regulator will do the job and give you better fuel atomisation too. That's what I run on mine with the DTH ITBs, ported head, cams etc. for 207bhp. This is where I got mine...

    I wonder if anyone will make a LSD for the EDC gearbox, that would make one very tempting for me.

    T4RKO 172 Cup

    I've got a 182 boot floor to replace mine with but I have thought about keeping it, its where I put my two 10L fuel cans for a track day!

    I'm probably quoting Mark now but...spacers for show, correct offset for go. @NorthloopCup

    Next year should be great if everything goes to plan! I've got some fibreglass doors to fit, I've ordered a fibreglass boot in the group buy and I'll order some polycarbonate windows in the new year. That'll be my weight loss sorted. Unfortunately I have no fabrication and machining equipment...

    AST coilover questions

    I went from Koni adjustables with Cooksport springs to ASTs with 400lb front and 285lb rear springs. I didn't notice much difference in compliance but on track its like night and day. Very good coilovers. I live on a peninsula between two beaches so I have corrosion worries but so far they've...

    Got my cage from Mark Fish today, I went for the full safety devices cage with single removable door bars and removable diagonal and harness bar. Like this, but in black... Also I trial fitted my brake bells, tweaked the CSKs for the standard mounting bolts and gave them a lick of black VHT...

    Cup looks tidy :) What's the full spec of the 106 engine? I'm guessing it's a GTI6 engine?

    leeRS Clio Sport 172 ph2

    Looks good, nice low mileage too! It would be worth refreshing bushes and shocks (get the 172 cup front and 182 rear) whilst doing the springs, it'll make it a completely different car :)

    172 cup disappointed bhp

    If you look at the graph it's down over the standard inlet between 4-5k rpm and then better from 5-7.5k rpm. You go buy your 225 and then I'll show you who's faster :wink:
