    Thinking of buying this

    reading this it sound a bit stupid... can't expect anyone to take it esay on throttle with this conversion. So, box is not going to handle the power. What about all the other High power clios on here ? I'm thinking they run a standard box ?

    Thinking of buying this

    Aslo read about the 200NM which the box is made to be able to handle.. So it's going to be dodgy... skip first gear with throttle and take it real easy putting the pedal down on the rest of the gears and it should hold out ?

    Renault: Can they do this?

    Nothings wrong with that, but i remember/feel his trouble... they're trying to get out of the guarantee by saying it's normal. I'm thinking he would'nt bother to even go if he himself it was normal ... I understand totally, in his desperate situation, that he's going for a second opinion. I...

    Renault: Can they do this?

    c'mon, when the box is'nt letting him shift from second to third properly then there is clearly a problem. I know the boxes are known to be not all that but i drive mine in a "sporty" way and there's no problems..

    looking at buying 172

    The buzzing is normal, it happens when switching ignition key, not starting the engine ? (i have it; posted about it and seems a lot of people have this buzz. Open the bonnet while ign.key is halfway and it's quite loud) Bumper; do'nt know..

    Ph1 172 air intake pipe options? HELP!!

    Nicely done !! I've been told before that this phase one airbox is really good. Can this be fitted on a make two (2003) ? Also keeping in mind that mine has the acoustic valve .. Nice mod, these pipes/tubes are expensive here in Holland, 35pounds for a piece aprox 1 meter.... They come...

    Renault: Can they do this?

    This sounds like a classic "hold off the boat" situation , you're being f**ked . Reading this pisses me off, it reeks of dishonesty. I would ,as said before, stay there until they fix your problem. Are'nt Reno doing a "keep customers happy" campaign or something of the sort ? You can also...

    turbo kits

    yeh we've seen this happening before hahhaha , but he was talking of the stuff going into production this Oktober so i'm guessing they are finishing up as we speak If the Ktec low boost has proven itself this is ofcourse also a way to go !

    turbo kits

    Working on the 182 version. First wanted to do the 172 cause there's a bigger market. It's important for them to first get an amount of 'em out there , running about killing BMW's and other slow cars :quiet:

    turbo kits

    I spoke to MB about this, also do'nt want the gay noise :nono: so asked them for a recirculating one, this would be no problem. Just this afternoon i heard an old familiar boxer sound pass by, real nice (scoob) until it went -psssj- Also forgot to mention you get the airbox replaced, this will...

    turbo kits

    I'm wondering about the gearbox too.. They're most confident in it's reliability. Soon it's going to have a good thrash-test at the Ring, giving it a proper beating . If they're satisfied i'm thinking of putting myself on the list. A couple op people have already ordered a set

    Just got this link

    They're saying that with the 0,5bar pressure it's running, with no engine-mods whatsoever (except exhaust manifold) , it is 100% reliable. I always thought that for one the gearbox/clutch were'nt all that on the Renos and have been known to go bust with these sort of modifications. Doing a...
