so the bottom end is the same, is everything the same on the head side?

I need a definate answer to this one. A friends engine has just let go on his 182 and I'm looking for a replacement for him. I just need to know the actual difference between the two. Is the head/block the same, I know the 182 had better inlets,exhaust manifold and engine map but will there be...

Re: My Pink One.. no rear ARB on yet mate? You will love it when you get it, makes the back end feel a bit more solid like a saxo/106

I've been trying not to look into this thread as I'm 99.9% sure a mk5 gti is going to be my next car. I've just got the sudden urge to sell the trophy and get one now....Hmmm :)

Just take your time with changing gear. Is it happening when you're giving it some and the rev's are very high or just all the time in normal driving conditions

That's great news. Who was the company k-tec or Rs tuning? Maybe put a piece in the traders section, it may seem as bad press but atleast its good feedback for future customers and the fact they're doing it for free is also a great thing. To anyone in the know, would it be worth putting a...

I've found the clio has just got taller and taller over the years, put a 16v/williams next to a 1*2, then a 1*2 next to a 197/200, the difference is crazy. I think thats why the rear end looks so chunky, because of the height of it and the only thing breaking the rear up is the diffuser and...

has it been painted on the front end? Looks a tidy car, and the rear is sitting about 20mm too low, will handle better if you raised it slightly , nice car, I wouldnt sell it

They're better equipped and have a more torque'y engine so they still have to be raked to get them to go anywhere, just not as much as a gti/vts. I love them both but the clio is just a class above, a really good upgrade if you have a gti/vts and fancy something slightly more grown up and better...

please explain...if you've had issue's I'd love to know what and from which company. I've been seriously considering this conversion for a long time, I thought it would be great on the trophy then I read a few horror stories of belts snapping and taking the engine with it....

It's hibernating for the winter mate :)

For music obviously. There really wasnt much effort at all into saving the big bulky weight items, it was my everyday car so didnt want to have to listen to the road noise

From what I've seen and heard yes they arent the best cats out there but if you're happy with what you're getting why not ey.... My ph1 172 never ever brought the EML on in the whole time I had my de-cat fitted, had both lambda's plugged in aswell

I really dont see the point of this mod at all, the 182 cats dont last that long at all so you're goosed if it fails. I had a de-cat from k-tec unsilenced and a btb stealth. Because the btb exhaust has such a large backbox it seemed to keep the noise nice. A lot of people said it sounded as if...

Great cheap cars. Personally unless you're on a budget I would keep your ph2. I dont think the ph1 clio or any clio this side of the williams could be described as raw. They've still got power steering and generally ABS bar the cup. I did quite a lot to my ph1 172, it was also an iceburg, 1...

Good driving and very committed. Don't think I'd be going that crazy on there without a cage though

We went to pizza hut last year and it was a good turn out. I will be up for attending but wont be in the trophy

Worst looking clio would be gordini Worst handling clio ph1 172/ph2 172/ 182 non cup packed suspension Worst for performance......this is strictly on the gear ratio's......197.....followed by ph1 172's 5th gear

Yeah mate no worries. Let me know when you're at teeside and I will bring the stuff over

Pretty good solution... Don't hit the limiter

legendary driving tbh, just supported my decision to convince the girlfriend to add wheels and decent suspension to her 1.2 :)

Thanks for the comments guys. Think I will slam the trophy on 2118s then If that's the response you get :p .... Jokes :)

A lad i know locally bought it from me and is putting a meg 225 lump in it. 172ben got the wheels and now the lad with the blue 5 door 182 has them (sorry forgot your name) car is nowhere near as low as it was now either

they also look nice in british racing brown :D That height is with the car completely stripped out and one bucket seat Tyres were 195/45/15's, hence why it makes them look a bit bigger, sold the car so didnt bother going to 50 profile

What sort of money have people spent so far on their builds? I'd love to say it will see the track but that just depends on work and time off

car sounds amazing, decent driving aswell. Can't believe how quickly andy's clio just rips past on the straight, awesome......I need to see steve haswells car in action now :)

When I see those pics it makes me want it back badly :(

I'm wondering how a shocker can sound cool lol, please explain.....

No not new at all...obviously. I just CBA to read through pages and pages of slaver to find out what his crack is. A link to said 'thread' would be great as I guess I will have to hunt for my answer

Supersprint manifold is meant to make a good difference. I had my inlets matched (Plastic) and made absolutely no noticable difference
