For me its neither I spend the money on track days no need to worry about insurance etc with a n unmodified car now and no warently possible problems. Each to there own though I'm not bothered what people do so long as there insured (well least insured so much as if they crash into me I'll...

Its doesn't have instantanious readout the manuals wrong. the trips quite accute it get its calculations from the injectected fuel quantity so it should be spot on. The fuel tank level indicator isn't to inaccurate the light should come on with 5 liters (1.1 gallons) left in it but the sensors...

Fron's have a minimum thickness of 21mm or so (24mm new) If they have any decinet lip on them chnage them though. Sounds like the pads arn't sliding best take them off clean the caipers and sliders and bleed the system with some new fluid as that should sort most problems. All the pads should...

Whats Mk CLio do you have? The Mk2 phase 1's of your engine size run the 239mm disks The Mk2 phase 2's of your car run 259mm disks. Both setups run the same caliper pads and i suspect calipers is the caliper mounting brackets which allow the caliper to be spaced further out. Both disk size...

Back boxes are fomous for failing the service is normal running costs. I'd say you've only paid about £200 for extra running costs realy. You could have got the part from Matt cheaper and fitted it yourself it yourself if you felt keen. Brakes you can do yourself 1.5hrs at tops including...

£550 or so. Best idea is a different engine for making a more powerfcul car reliable.

Thats why they made the extended warently. Mines now covered till 90k and another 18 month. You can have extended for upto 120k and 5 years. Only costs £600 and I've only another £450 worth of stuff to break before I'm quids in. Plus breakdown cover is included.

I don't like them, the gearbox doesn't like to be rushed at the best of times. You'll just be trying to push it quicker and damage the bearings faster.

Air filter and exhaust won't make any power on stock mapping. You need custom mapping to make any more power and then you'll have to decide how far you want to push the injectors but 110hp is about the best you'll get safely. EGT does mater on any engine 1.0 or 10 liter in size if you start...

It depends what you want personally I'd go look at Normally aspirated tunning on the 172/182.

Halfords own are the problems. Ferodo as you said are standard Renault spec ones. However Halfords seem to rarly have Ferodo in stock.

There no sticker on the inside of the car showing engine spec besy way to check is to look for an intercooler under the bonnet (the 65 doens't have one) or look at the details on the driver door pillar the 65hp is CB07 (or BB07 if you've a 5 door) the 80hp has the code CB08 (or BB08 if its a 5 door)

If the price was good enough yes. For that I'd say £11k.

Whats spacers? There arn't any?

172 Cup badge 7711291177 £2.04 (the little B pillar ones) Bump strips are £30 or so last time I looked. Your looking at £40 for the bits for the door there a load of little bits depends what you need.

Its just like the guide on the forum for the 172 brakes. There will be a guide soon when i fet down to finishing it. Its very easy though.

Your supposed to bed brakes in on new unused disks.

The valves in the shock arn't the idea ones i don't think what with different engine sizes etc. The block is different the 2.0 isn't just a bored 1.6 its a completly different engine. The 2.0 engine is heavier not by much and by repositing the battery it shouldn't matter to much but higher...

Have a look here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=109200

45 I think from memory.

Main lights are H7 Side lights are W5W Indicator lights are PY21W

The engine will take a fair bit of boost its Det etc you need to worry about. The turbo block F4R was built for a reason bigger and thicker so the 172 isn't the best starting point. However to get a f4RT engine to fit you need the box which is bigger but will take more power (this I suspect is...

Depedns there are other things more important than just cars in life in a year you'll probably want somehting different so you'll end up spending all your money on the car. Don't get me wrong the 172/182's are great cars but think of the money you could save with a cheaper car or a diel to...

Doesn't sound to bad a deal but personally I'd spend the extra for a 172/182. Quite rare the 1.6 they made less than they did 172/182's

Yep but 172 hubs are apparently stronger also you'd need heavier spring rates and the valves could do with being changed so there no point.

I'm sure there probably used on somehting else its on some MEgans for sure. I'll have a look tomorrow.

The 172/182 caliper won't bolt on the hubs are different on the 172 against the none Renault sport cars. You cna make them fit with spacers brakets but its not worth it. The best upgrade is better calipers IMO. However there expensive. The 172 caliper is used on the Cup/Torphy 182 and some...

Stock pads are fine depends how you drive if you've no issue with stock then I'd stay with it its less cost and hastle. Halfords OE pads for 172/182 well there only one size so they don't know what there on about and the pads they sell whilst perfect for cold use once you get any heat into...

Coilovers for your car won't fit a 172 so best leave it till you get a 2.0 transplant. Don't forget that although the super 1600 get 220hp they also are pure rally engines they won't make usuable power very low down They have stronger forged bottom ends I think so they stay together at high...

Stadard alarm is a Catagory one Cobra alarm systems. The imobiliser has to be fitted to all new cars and the alarm is part of the standard UK spec. It won't make any difference as standard polices are priced accoriding to the fact that you shoul;d mas a full UK model have the alarm fitted.
