Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 You are right about the bhp per tonne but the BMW has more power than the CLIO, therfore it will lose more through the transmition surely? The power it actually puts through the wheels per tonne will be similar to the CLIO with 205bhp. Theres only...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Yeah Stevie has the lptc from k-tec and mapped by Paul.

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 That suprises me actually! Thought it would b closer! I think mine vs yours would be a good one Stevie! U planning any track days or rwyb events next year? Also rumour has it that your going for higher boost!? Are the rumours right? Lol

I think the dash looks far far better than white, red or chavvy blue! I prefer the OEM look in interiors, but everyone to their own eh! ;) Also what is wrong with the orange?

Heres my beloved monaco :D

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 They are the same as what comes on the ph1 172! O.Z F1's, mine are 16" though not 15".

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 pfffft!!! Yeah, sure ;) No problems at all yet but im sure it wont last forever on standard internals! Got a low compression forged bottom end on the build though, just building up funding for the parts! :D Speak to Paul at RS Tuning, its £4000...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 I have thought about a 3/4 plate but I have heard of people getting pulled by the police and fined for it so I have stuck with a normal one! Fuel - mpg computer doesnt read accurate anymore (I have my doubts that they do anyway). I worked out that...

Not me but you must have the first AG clio in Leeds? I havnt even seen a 200 on the road, never mind an AG one! Havnt even seen the AG in the stealers!!!! Il look out for you!

First thing I noticed was the missing grille! Need that sorting Ed! Apart from that looks like a clean example!

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Just a few more pics I took today. I gave the car a full wash with Turtle Wax car shampoo, cleaned the wheels and calipers aswell. I also hoovered the interior and cleaned the dashboard with dash wipes. I then treated the leather with moisturising...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Puts power down no problem, You have to learn how launch but once your out of first its very good. Because of the progressive boost it hardly spins the wheels! Unless its wet then your fvcked! lol :cool:

Are you sure its 170bhp with those mods? I had a Glanza with a blitz fmic, hks fcd, hks actuator, Full Blitz exhaust inc decat, apexi electronic boost controller - professionally set up. Running at bang on 1 bar and even that wasnt 170bhp! Dont get me wrong it was quick and the torque was lush...

Yeah it was waiting outside when he got there this morning! lol! Ok just thought I would ask as I thought it would be sensible to put a new pump in while the engine was out and the fluid drained!

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 I now have a spare set of upper and lower inlets that I am going to get matched aswell as a ph1 cylinder head which has bigger inlets than the ph2 head! I just need someone to fit the valves for me??!! Once these are fitted should see alot nicer...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Yeah I got a loan! Whats wrong with that? :S My GF works for Halifax and got a 0% interest loan over 12 months, borrowed £3000, pay back exactly £250 a month! When you have your own house and 2 cars to run then you dont tend to have £4000 lying...

Heres the story of my beloved Renaultsport Clio 172: I bought the car on the 1st november 2008, a mint 2002 monaco blue 172. I payed £3995 for it, the car was totally standard apart from a Magnex 6x4 oval backbox. It had all the usual extras: Air conditioning, Cobra alarm, Xenon headlights...
