    Upgrading Ph1-172 suspension?

    Forget Spax or Gaz regardless. Apex are quite hard Personally I'd go for coilovers you can then set the car up how you like height wise FKs are superb value realy £450 I think from john 2 modified on the group buy. H and Rs are much better but £700 or so so much higher priced still worth if it...

    Twingo brakes the Same as Mk2 Clio ?

    If parts were interchangable then that would sell at the same price. There are different sized sliders just pay up Renault prices or go a Halfords etc and get some copy cat parts. Why do you need them though you can 99% of the time fix the old ones.

    Help with Headunit wiring....

    Unplug the sub and ap see if that fixes the problem work backwards until the problem goes away and you'll have a better idea who to fix it. Depends where you are what auto electrical you want but you could be paying a fortune for them to fix something you could sort yourself.

    182 headlights 'To low'

    Yep 3mm or so lower but with normal tolerances you'd never notice. The sensor you won't mis it its the only thing attached to the rear axle. it has a little arm bit on the axle attaching to the sensor on the car itself.

    steering wheel

    You can get an aftermarket wheel to fit but there only ne since Renault have a unique airbags system. Most people just stick resister sin the wiring looms and don't bother with an airbag.

    Apex or Eibach ?

    I don't even get 8k out of set of tyres last set was 5k this new set are on the limit at 8k or so on stock suspension.

    Apex or Eibach ?

    172 wheels on there own without suspension catch at the back. A decent setup should have meant more even tyre wear and longer life. Although it depends how you drive if you use it more on the limit as you end up doing with suepnsion mods tyres will always last less time.

    sorry to be a pain.....

    Gains for tunning the Clio engine arn't huge gaisn from the manifold mofiying depends on how bad the stock one has been made some are better than other but regardless you'll get some gains. With those bits I'd say being as stock engine is 176hp or so I'd say 10hp with a remap. A 182 exhaust...

    sorry to be a pain.....

    Get the intake manifold modified thats about £170 then decat (from free (assuming you smash up the stock one) to £60 for a bit of pipe to £170 for a proper sportsdecat) then a panel filter for £40 or so. Then save a few quid for a remap.

    Apex or Eibach ?

    I fitted them to a Giles car a few week ago. When he took me out later they were IMO quite hard you realy need to change springs and dampers to get the best.
