Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio Paint's ordered for the wheels :)

I'd have no issues about using mine day to day, but as it's a toy it's normally once or twice a week at the mo. If mapped properly and driven sensibly, the mpg should still be sensible, I used to get well over 30 mpg out my black one, and 40 wasn't a problem if driven sensibly. Maps not...

Cleaning the tb won't fix it, it sounds like a very bad missfire. Check it has the right plugs, as these must have the correct ones - I had to fit Bosche super 4's once and it misfired like a pig until I fitted the correct ones (People tend to not fit them as they are about £70 from Renault...

Easiest route i'd say (if you're after outright power) is better rods and pistons in your current block, and a medium sized turbo hanging off the back - with a decent ecu and map you should be around 300 bhp

Pffft, plenty of life left in them!

I got all 4 wheels off the floor top end of 3rd gear up by dans :S IF you can get the bits cheap, put in some work yourself you should be able to make a good saving

to get an idea on how little they do, have a read of this mate http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?445339-Fastcar-Clio-172-Air-Filter-Test

they can get very stiff due to road grime, hot then cold temperature etc

Hey mate, it all depends on if you can source the parts 2nd hand - if you can get the bits at a good price then it will be 20-30% cheaper than buying new, but as a rule of thumb i'd be budgetingat least £2500-£2800 to do it properly if you cannot do any of the work yourself But if you need...

My 1.6 FSi engine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200913145216

Please excuse the poor quality - taken with my phone and on photobucket lol. Thought I'd stick these in here as I really like them. First one was at the Mall at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol at Xmas time, and the 2nd was 7am one morning as I was leaving for work and saw these two planes

He is correct :)

Example being if you had looked about 5 threads down you would see a thread asking the same question ;) Welcome btw! :)

Use the search function dude, it's covered all the time and then you will be able to have a read and decide what will be best for you (And with regqrds to performance, even the best kits only offer a few bhp-nothing noticable, it's more about getting noise but not loosing power like some do lol)

Most likely fully syth mate if its 5w40 - most oils that viscocity are fully syth - id reccomend going with fully, it offers better protection The Pro S is a very good oil!

The Pro S is an awsesome oil - made the K series in my elise sound like it was barely running - so quiet. Plus it smells great (Obviously one of the top things you look for in an oil lol) Elf is ok - My Clio currently has Shell Helix VW PD Spec oil in it - still plenty good enough...

Why have we not seen more of this car? Looks brilliant!

Titan Pro S 100000% But any good quality 5 w40 is fine, the Pro S is the next step up again

As Fred has said, the stock tb does not restrict flow - you do get the effect it has improved things if you fit a bigger one mind, but thats only because the butterfly is physically larger and for every % you open the throttle, a larger one will naturally let in more air - what this tends to...

Flol! Git x

Needs a clean

Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio Thought i'd add this link now, now iv'e given it a wash lol http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?691525-Dirty-then-clean

ppfft, poor excuse love, crack on ;)

Dan really isn't bigging it up either, in the metal it is stunning - Sam really has gone to town on it and all the little touches he has done are amazing

No worries mate, it's there if you end up needing it (I'm sure a skim will sort the area out - nothing fred can't sort ;) ) 3 weeks to Combe ;)

I have always been tempted with it tbh

^ That looks so smart, the colours match so well - thats the look I want to go for :)

Lol! Yeah it was pretty bad wasn't it :o I'm just holding off on the engine until we have finished the map and (Hopefully) it may mean I won't need to swap engines - then it will get a proper dressing :) ( is your rocker cover painted? I can't remember and I'm tempted to paint it)

IMO yes, it will be over fuelling, but should run

It's Porsche grey Black, off the GT3 RS I believe :) and last time it was on a set of rollers it made 208bhp and 178 lb ft of torque Yeah the MX wheels are too small, as I tried a set off a mates car on my other Clio, but big thanks on the possibility of the 16s! :star:
