My old 172 just ran breathing mods an coilovers an i dropped the wheel size to 15" due to better selection of tyres, but due to me having to use the car everyday I was kind of restricted to what I could do due to the fact it had to be ready for work next day haha. To begin with I'll just strip...

Thats a paper cut ;)

Cool put some vids up when its on :)

I wouldn't of thought so, plus you always need abit of back pressure on a n/a engine

haha happens to best of us, proberly sat on the under tray

Plans sound good fella, i swapped my 172 for 197 late last year, but once me an the missus have sorted out buying our new house they'll be a ph1 172 project in the garage

these clio's love ruining weekends lmao, good luck dude

I've had it in past with my old motor, no faults shown. See if your code reader will let you monitor parameters (i.e lamba sensor oparation etc) if it is only the basic mac tools reader it won't allow you

Remove the wheel an fastern a dti gauge to the disc an check the run out, could also be hub run out but more then likely discs warped as thats more common

yeah nice short one an deep socket i think i remembered

nice colour but don't think I would of done the steering wheel emblem, but each to there own as long as you like it :)

No worrys mate, glad i could be of assistance.

Personally I'd go for the silenced if I was you pal, I had a oreca grp n system (very similar to omp inox) no cat an only 1 box. Sounded great if I'm honest but when it came to long journeys it sometimes got abit loud an anoying

Read the build thread an french car mag feature on this, looks nice an tidy an tbh a good way of doing it :) nice motor by the way

squeeling belts? can you post a video demonstrating the noise?

2 holes located on the front of it, in there theres a nut 10mm iirc Picture of it removed shows the 2 studs that its fasterned on.

its easy dude, think is 2 10mm bolts if i remember correctly. I'll get some pics ups if i can for ya

I always start with the cheap basic's as danny said, Plugs Coil Pack (which i think i have a spare in my toolbox) Injectors Leads If non of these cure its proberly something more siniseter

Gotta agree with you there on the mpg front, I swapped my 172 ph2 for a 197 an must say it is a bit heavy on the old juice lol

awesome, i'm sure you'll soon have it runnin then buddy :)

that looks f**king terrible!

I thought you only gained the flat spots when de-catting? I haven't read anything yet about being able to map it out yet, maybe wrong :s Graph looks good, is your motor standard?

looks like you got to the bottom of then dude, i would of thought the map file from the ecu could be retrieved. probs be best getting in contact with tdf or rs tuning maybe?

You'd be cheaper getting a second hand bumper as said, but next when you remove something put it back. Expensive lesson.

I'd try switching to the old ecu to see if it starts like you suggested, can see why its puzzling now

Back when i was playing around with saxos, when i swapped my vtr engine for a vts lump i had to have the vts ecu "unlocked" to work with my immobilised unit. Not quite sure on the clio's though cause i aint done to much digging around on them

love the 2118's

3/4 plate really improves the front end in my opinion, keeps the bumper lines nice an smooth. Was the first mod i did to my old 172!

i mised my old 172 when i first brought my 197 but now i've got used the the 197's drive its an awesome car out the box an i can still get my mountain bike in the bike for when i want to hit the trails :)

Looks mint, i'm watching a valver on ebay atm. After a nice little project/track car.
