Haha yeah its not so good on damp roads, you can almost get all of the power down. Wouldn't bother in the rain. Roll on summer!

Yeah mate I would, i'm sure they'll be more than happy to help. It might only be 230bhp when compared to a lot of the cars on here running 300+ but it's still seriously good fun and feels exactly like a standard car when you are driving around town or to the shops etc

Why was that mate? did you go out in their 172 ph1 exclusive demo car?

Thanks mate, I certainly am. I got mine from my local Renault dealer and paid around £23 Each. Silly money for what they are.

So the car is now back from Engine Dynamics and wow, what an awesome kit it is. Not many photos of the car since it has been done but here's a few. The car made 231.6 bhp and 235.1 lbft, strong figures that you can really feel in the car. Absolutely loving the noise too. First up, the power...

You've been a lot busier than I thought! It's really coming along nicely now

Fantastic photos, what setup are you using to take them?

Nice car mate. Well done for getting the Cup badges, they're a must and really set the car off.

It is indeed, the subtle mods are always the best and yes I am. Already counting down the days and even 2 weeks seems like a long way away right now, I want it now! Lol

A few small updates on what i've done recently. After changing the plugs and leads I managed to scratch the upper manifold so took it off again and sprayed it again. Here's a few other things: - Removed the fuel rail guard as I don't think it will fit when intercooler pipes go in. - Sprayed...

Glad you're enjoying it mate. Yes mine is a 172 Cup and yes I was. Was it you picking up the silver 182? Looked like a nice car. Does it go just as well as their demo car? If so I'll be more than pleased

Exactly what I thought. After meeting them in person and asking plenty of questions I was more than reassured about the conversion and the work they do.

It's booked to have the 230bhp kit from engine dynamics on the 12th. Because it's low boost i'm hoping it's still reliable enough to drive as a daily to work which is only a 10 mile round trip. I only say 'hoping' because I was fairly certain it would be until I read this thread. lol.

Thanks mate, this is similar to what i'm experiencing. The car has never felt better since fitting them so i'm leaning towards this being the cause of the noise.

As someone who has booked their car to be turbo'd in 2 weeks time... this thread is giving me mixed emotions.

Cheers for the heads up, that's something i'll look into. This is my thinking too. I'm praying it's not got a fault in it though as the car is set to get a turbo fitted in a weeks time lol. Would be terrible timing.

So I have just fitted a KTEC uprated engine mount and upper gear box mount, i've had them before so was expecting the increased vibration which I mostly get at idle, but there is a strange and very faint high pitch (almost like a supercharger. LOL ) whining noise now coming from the front of the...

Love it. Car looks amazing.

@Rob22 loving the videos. Just out of interest, who did you first contact to get hold of the McLaren?

I always glance at the driver before hand before i'll commit to giving a nod... which either works great or turns into us both having one of those 'what the f**k is he staring at' moments.

Remapping is something I'd leave to a pro. As I understand you get a base map already installed on the ECU however a custom map would be better.

Not sure if this has been asked before, so here it goes. I'm considering joining the ever growing number of people boosting their clios. Going to use either the engine dynamics 230bhp kit or the one from ClioTurbo for my 172 Cup. My question is, could someone that has little mechanical...

So after receiving the go ahead from the other half it would seem that I'm allowed to book my car in with Engine Dynamics soon to get the car boosted. Pretty exciting. Going to be getting the 230bhp kit.

@massivewangers I had them in my old Cup. Give that it already rattled a lot anyway they weren't that bad / different to the standard ones.

I'm well up for this. Had the car for a while now and wanted to get it on the Dyno for some time. 0. forum name - real name - car 1. Trackslag172 - Tim Drake - Clio 172 2. jaswalker24 - Joe Walker - clio 172 3. JoeMarano - Joe Marano- Clio 172 (Provisionally pulled out) 4. tyler@ultimate -...

Think I see your car around quite a bit @eddc52. I'm from Tunbridge Wells, drive a 172 Cup.

Pretty sure it was me lol.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. The only thing i've noticed so far is that the car tramlines a lot more on the motorway and now feels incredibly unstable at 70mph +. I'll probably go for 195's next.

@Kyle 86 we do mate! we should meet up soon. @Matthew thank you mate

@hsustyle It's ok mate, was very short notice I know!. Oh ok cool, yeah bring the 200 for sure! Pretty busy the rest of the week so perhaps some time next week.
