My original fronts lasted about 14k My last set (their ^ replacments) lasted 11k. Id hate to see how long a 172 would last in my handls as Ive only got 65hp.

Ford Escort 1.4 Encore. Very communicative never driven any car as comunicative as it. Then for pure power the 182 but I never realy got to do many corners to see what its like on the twisties.

The alarm is annoying. Check thet you have closed the air vents as the alarms that sensative that open vents can set of an over sensative alarm.

The first Clio I ever drove was identical to the one I bough it was a courtesy car after someone ran into my Escort. Was very scary had only been driving a short time and it was a brand new car, since I was only young the repair company were worried about insurance as I was on some other...

Yep talk to your Renault dealership they will fix the paperwork they will work out how much your car is worth and then take away the amount you need to finish the loan (your likely to end up owning money). They will use this figure and add it to the price of a Megan etc and then finance the...

Im waiting to see Freds performance first never mind BB and K-tec. I hope BB have gone for low compression pistons now and we see a K-tec Vs BB war for power. Fter all as they say there show cars for the company so might as well go all out. However since they are doing the conversion on a...

There the new Clio with different bumpers which will get called the Mk2 ph3 or shortened to Mk2 3

The normal ones are useles quality. You can only but they as part of a set for £129.49 plus VAT part number 77 01 207 149 SURTAPIS AV ET AR They shouldnat have worn completly though so quick though. Ive fixed mine with soem some thick belt like material which is very hard wearing and...

I assume the dash is changed as well. Is this option availiable in HK? I was just thinking you might be able to get one by importing it.

Pm Smokey he sells them for £7.50 if you dont get anywere PM me Ill see what I can do. The CDs are what Renault uses. They cover all the Renault variaties from the 25 to the new Megan however there a few months old so dont include the 182 and Megan RS PS Im away from tonight for a few days...

Running on higher octane fuel than needed should mean less power. However it will depend gains will be minimal though.

Get the tracking redone to that the tyres are at more of an angle. The trackers set the car for the manurfacturers setup your car is lowered so need different setup. Also depends how you drive my fronts were more worn on the outer edge when I changed them I realy should have got the tracking...

Yes seems like there no diference in performance in the 1/4 mile etc. However premium RON fuels usually have other things in them to help keep the injectors and combustion cleaner so you could argue it does help power. The car is designed for 98 RON but if your car doesnt knock them youll...

I notice you have been suspened but since you asked someone is bound to dig this topic in future and question it. VVT means doesnt mean constantly varying the intake cam is either advance or not so its variable. I understand what your mean but its not infinatly variable. I know the 5k is the...

You dont need a remap but due to the low fueling of the Stock 172 it will gain power and remove the worries (Id have) about lean running. Buy you could run fine with those mods.

The engine would have running problem if the cams didnt activate. The engine would reaslise it doesnt have the extra potential the cam change offers. The first sensor in the exhuast is the important one the second you can ignore it its used in emmision checking so no ECU problem but it might...

Its too expensive to consider unless you have a write off car from which you can use the bits £500 for the pump alone Condensors £150 Housing £200 £212 for the panel in the car which chnanges the temp (assuming you want a regulating one)

Depends what type. A decat plus straight though exhaust similar to Big Iain is probably the most powerful but noisy.

Yep its either on or off. I cannot see any owner doing it as youll probably have probelsm when the ECU find out the VVT isnt activating. But yes if your coolent temp is below 80 degrees and you rev you will get the kick.

They are wrong, its just a warning about getting close to the redline.

Goes to 6.5k I think but its been a while. The limiters there to protect the engine so might as well hit it just to see it works ever now and again.

The Mk2 3 Clios (ie the new ones) have digital dashes the 182 and V6 dont though.

No your right about how it does it (intake cam only though is adjusted) It operated as Ive said earlier between 1.8k and 6(or 6.5 I forget)k when coolent over 80 degress and manifold pressure is 800mbar or more. The 172 and 182 are the same engine almost. If you activate the VVT at idle...

The 172 cat is very restrictive. The 182 has a more free flowing cat. Have a look for some pictures youll see how much bigger the 182 one is. Best option is to decat on a 172 for more power the 182 isnt as bad.

The VVT has nothing to do with the 5k kick from the engine its the cams difficult to belive but its true trust me. If you activate the vvt at idle the engine idles like a tractor. The VVT is as mentioned before is operational when coolent over 80 degress manifold pressure is 850Mbar (or...

Only the 172/182 have this light and even then it sometimes doesnt work/ is plugged in. The car I test drove didnt have it working.

One is probably taken of the line ever few thousand to check its tolerances probably. Theres no way a manurfactures could afford to do this to ever engine Even Merc with there AMG cars only run them for a short time.
