    AWT / GDI / My Clio 217 bhp (180lb/ft)

    Have you gone to a proper cable throttle body now with the new ECU. How come you went to the OMEX though is is this for future modifications the SMT cannot cope with? Isn't the 600 a bit overkill though or was it bought for future plans? Thats a superb amount of power though any chance of a...

    considering williams to trophy/182cup next year

    They drive differently than the Williams. The trophy is quite light on the back end I find compaired to my Williams but thats got coilovers. The 182 has a bit more keeness to go netral or understear. ALthough it depends how you drive. The extra torque and power is good my WIlliams may have a...

    Clio dash

    You'll probably have to modify one. The dash is a complex bit of kit. That digital one isn't fitted to the 182's so the one you saw was either a fake 182 had a custom dash or a modified normal dash.

    How you guys rate Bilstein PSS and H&R coilover kit for 172?

    H and R use Blistein dampers although probably not of the sped that blistein dampers you buy from them are. People who have the H and R say its superb.

    The Search for power

    lightened bottom end makes it smoother and helps keep the engine together at higher rpm (assuming you have a remap etc to up the limiter). 2.0 bottom end is the best idea preferably with a ported or a Williams head and cams as well.

    I think K-tec do a hidden system. Depends what your looking to pay though you can have a custom one made up as quiet as you want.

    Few problems with Valver

    The starting problem is the same as BRUN had I bet you'v got a universal lambeda sensor and you need a proper Renault one. Check your clucth cable I bet thats a copy part from Halords etc. You need a proper Renault ones. The two copycat parts your using are famous for going wrong unless there...

    Camber problem.....

    I've no problems on my car coilovers etc should take account of this and be designed to bring camber inline correctly. Lowering doesn't put more load on the driveshafts or make you run negative camber though driveshafts can get damaged yes but not down to the lower.

    Engine Remap

    Chipwizards ha a good repuation with Mk1 owners so does hill power but that Mk1 only I think. Depends where in the country and what car GDI do a SMT remap for any car realy but more expensive than a ECU remap as you need a SMT thingie.

    My baby is hurt :-(

    Ring 01254 386661 and ask for Matt (j3ned on here) he gets loads of PM's so might not catch yours. PS he's always busy so if he forgets to ring you back give him a call again he'll help you out. It shouldn't be that much though depends how much can be fixed instead of being replaced.

    Bottom ball joint question

    Don't bother trying to replace the CV joint its a pain get a new shaft. Ball joints for all age Clios look the ame to me and there only £10 or so from GSF.

    Lowering Ruins handling

    There are advantages to getting different suspension coilovers etc. lower setups have harder springs so you cannot have as much freedom in the wet to use the curbs on track etc. Lower cars means more cornering speed or more spare grip when cornering at the same speed. However in the dry on on a...

    Clio Immobiliser

    If the light doesn't go out etc its an imobilser problem. It will be the imobiliser pickup sensor (the bit round the ignition barrel). Best pop into Renault and ask how much one is I've not priced one up reciently.

    172 Chip +5BHP +12lbft £275 to CS members

    They don't send the ECU's away they can nowadys just plug in there laptops and check the ECU programming. Due to the easy can common place of these hidden remaps insurance companys are wise to this modification. I think my car was checked when I had my crashed for a different ECU programing...
