1.8 F7P, is that Dales black 5? What intercooler, that's the problem I don't think any of them have been tested hence asking the question. The K Tec intercooler is also on e Bay fir a fraction of the cost, the problem is I don't want to shell out £65 up to £300 on something that givesme big...

I was just wondering as there are a handful of people now running superchargers and turbochargers on their Clios. Do you now how efficient your intercoolers are? Have you measured the charge temps when on boost for short and longer periods of time. Do you know the pressure loss between the turbo...

Another Odyssey Blue.... Been ages since i've seen a std looking one, looks nice

I had an oil and filter change about 4k ago, i used ELF Renault oil and filter which guarantees i'm using the right viscosity oil for starters. I checked the dipstick last week and it was halfway between MIN and MAX lines so i topped it back up. That's 4 laps of the Nurburgring, motorway...

A straight swap in regards to the unit themselves but the wiring is different in the connectors. i had to swap them about to make them work

IIRC all Renault 4 stud is 4X100 PCD http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Laguna-Spare-Wheel-Goodyear-Tyre-195-65-R15-/280619249871?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item415635f0cf

Looks good, think i need to go back to F1 wheels

Nice to meet you last night, and your friend. On your advice i've now sorted a phase 1 inlet to be worked on :cool: Will deffo pop in at some point, thanks for the genuine offer :)

Thought i'd pop down as it's local meet for me, a good spread of Clio's. Also noticed the 2 Focus's driving within 2 feet of each other, crazy :dapprove:

Saw this dashtop in a 1.2 Clio in my local breakers, i liked it as it's a better colour and also gave me the excuse to remove the airbag so i took it out and fitted it to my 172 yesterday.

All sorted :)

What i'd like to now is: If an airbag or 2 has already gone off, does that mean the ECU is rendered useless? I'd like to now remove the airbag located in the dashboard as it'll never go off as the ECU hasn't been changed/reset

Regards drilling the hole, start with a small bit first like a 2mm then work up the size in say 3 steps with each step being a larger diameter bit. Start off real slow on the speed with the 1st drill bit to make sure it doesn't spiral out of place, pretty much the same with the other bits. You...

Did the cup cars run ET43? Might have been pub talk but was told they ran them to tuck the wheels much lower in the arches, like i said could have been BS :o

This is something i'm looking at having done too after seeing a phase 1 dash with different colour SMDs... looks cool

Try Carnoisseur for price, i bought my white 2118s from them (albeit 2 years ago) and paid £500 for a set of 4.

1 of my blue phase 1 door handles cracked last year, i took it into Renault to order another and they ordered a new 1 using the part no off the back. It came back grey instead of blue and was then told they'd discontinued making the drivers side altogether. I then had to source another blue...

Indeed ;)

I don't really want to put up with it any longer, especially if there's a solution out there to have them switched off :)

I have -2 degrees negative camber up front and 6mm on toe-out

I'm sure when I pressed to lock it beeped, then seconds later it unlocked and beeped twice. The Central locking switch works and also locks the doors when going over 5mph, it's the key

Bought the Clio with this problem, I have the key, it locks but say 10 seconds it unlocks itself. I had to fit a new boot lock so is it someone to do with that? Boot lock not configured with the Central locking or key?

I'm in the same boat, is there a link for this 'tutorial' please

This is my last 5 GT Turbo before buying the Clio, i've had 4-5 R5s in my time, love em Tungy OE R5 My 1st R5 GTT, bought back in 1998

Excellent, thank you :) I'll have a look about for a filter and will purchase a 90 degree hose from E Bay :cool:

Sorry to be a pain but if you don't ask...... I have a the phase 1 Clio 172, the pipe that runs into the OE elbow. Can i put a breather filter on the end of it or does it need to be plumbed into the elbow still?? I've done away with the OE inlet pipe and would like to put a silicon 90...

I'll look into moving it to the grill area, out of interest as i've never seen the OE Clio 172 setup where does the pipework run from, even better is there any pics knocking about of it. I'm all ears for making sure things are done right :)

By the time i whipped out the mobile phone to take a piccy it dropped to 54 lol, this figure was driving at 60mph in an ambient temp of 0 degrees over 6 miles of dual carriageway. Since this morning it's dropped to 48 average in traffic, 30mph, standstill....... I expect it to be lower of...

More harm than than good as it made nothing on the rollers?? IMO direct 102mm diameter flexi pipe feed from the foglight to the bigger box will help the breathing.... surely better than my old setup that had a cheap Max Power style induction filter fitted to the end of the OE inlet pipe.

Yesterday i fitted the Espace V6 airbox and ran a 102mm diameter feed from the outlet to the passenger foglight. With the old air filter induction i's on average over the last 2 years see 37-39MPG, pure motorway driving would give me 44-45MPG. I tripped the meter before heading to work and in...
