Alloys and springs should be be able to be taken of easily enough. Sell them and youll get the same price probably for the car and sell the mods for a few hundred.

Any change Jeremy of aranging a track day for the Clio drivers who dont own a 172/V6 etc I fancy giving my car some round a track but since overtaking a fork life needs a good long stright I dont think Id make many 172 drivers happy holding them up.

Sounds like there ripping you of. They should prepare the area before painting so it shouldnt be a problem Do a search Im sure someone near where you live has used a good bodyshop.

Why not drop a 1.6 16 V in there better all round for future tunning plus as long as you use a Mk 2 2 then the multiplex wirng problem will (almost) disapear. 1.6 16V = 110hp stock 120 with filter + exhaust Even the 1.4 has 110hp with a slight bit of work 120 should be possible.

Have a search Ive done a few [osts on the subject the 100 is quite a bit uprated over the 85 as jeramy said new pistons, rings, turbo, fueling, oil cooler. etc There 2 tunning method though 1 - Remap ie superchip which is expensive but the best way round it (cost abotu £450 I think although...

Mods wont be worth much probably best selling them on seperate. Stock it should be worth about £6.5 I recon private sale. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Clios depreciate quick. Trade may give you £6k

Only 91.9 your not trying hard enough. What enigine is that with? I take it its a petrol as the dci can do that on a straight level road.

About £3.5k your looking at drive ina nd rive out with 120hp or ther abouts. Kit included low comp pistons. Kit alone is £1500 I belive or that was the aim Im guessing ti will turn out to be more like 2 to 2.5k though. From the estimate of 120hp your looking at about a 0.8 bar turbo. I...

Worryingly its got stock brakes and suspension I belive.

Its a shame that people take things to seriously there are loads of people who work on the forum and aranging things for nothing. Dont get disheartened some people are just like that unfortunatly.

I think its CD1A. Someone on the forum is mates with him he has a stripped out Clio 1.2 with a modified 172 engine in it

Sorry to keep asking question Ben but what a B16 engine. The F20 is the S2000/CTR one I think. So a 300hp 172 engine would have to rev to honda level with an advanced cam would it or is there potential to keep the same operating rpm but increase flow to the cylinder at all revs. HWat sort of...

Thje 172 engine is diffficult to tune as its quite highly tuned standard not many N/A engine out there make 84hp/liter. Turbo engoine have the easy potential or a remap with higher boost but there nothing like that for N/A engines you need manifold makeing which costs. For £2 to 2.5k you...

They wont fit unfortunatly. Best with uprated springs and dampers or coilover. If they did fit it wouldnt be that big a job to do to change the springs and shocks over.

Id keep away there expensive Renault are charging a fair premium for them at the moment I think the list price is more than people are paying for 182s

How much are we talking about Im sure someone said they saw an advert for the K-Tec one for £6k fitted. The kit is between £3 and £3.5k depending upon the exchange rate as far as I remember working it out last nite. As for the costs of fitting it well its complete guess work realy I thought...

Normal K-tec coilover go down upto 80mm. Freds have custom springs so go down 100 at the back and upto 110 at the front. You need to let the springs settle though 35mm may not look much but leave they a month to settle and the drop will look more mine equivavlent to some people at 30mm down...

Id try the dci even the little 65hp one is only slight slower than a 1.2 and as its a diesel it has good power low down so will feel quiker to somoene who doesnt rag it. There are loads of good deals for the dynamics Im sure if your buying cash youll get one ~£7.5 with aircon or somehting else...

cliotuRS your right its not worth it have a look on autotrader or somehting like that for a fast car under £6k (the cost of turboing the 172) and youll find some much faster cars. Spending that much on a 172 isnt for performance only. The people who do it will either want a unique 172 or have...

Ive sent you a PM if you could paste it here It would be useful thanks. Supercharging the 1.6 shouldnt be to hard depending upon how far you push it. If your sticking to normal pistons and head gasget the max Id push it to is 0.4 bar so ~140hp. With a bigger head gasget hence lower...

Battery in the boot I think as space is at a premium. Should help with weigh balance as well. You can get a supercharger kit for the 1.6 by the way and turbo car and a TB car has been done Im sure. The 1.6 is more common abroad that over here. The company who make the 2.0 kit are making a 1.6...

The problem is the Clio is FWD so wheels spins with 260hp where as an AWD or RWD car wont as much. 5 second to 60 in FWD is quite an achiement dont think the Clio would do that whatever turbo kit 7.2 seconds is what the foreign manurfacturer get from there 172 turbo...

Should be no trouble installing it to a 182/172 or Cup. Same engines realy. Top sped wont be increased much as the box is the week link as you can top out in top gear normally so youll get there faster but same top speed. As for Roamers kit well he got 212 with his but I dont know how he was...

Have you though about having another place testing the car? Or ask the tester if £50 cash in hand would "fix" the problem.

Your warently is only invalid on the parts youve moded and affected by the mod and can be proven to have caused the failure. So for example if you go stick bigger wheels on the car and you want some work on the heater then warently is still valid however if you have bigger wheels and you wheel...

I was wondering what that bit was. The shape just reminded me of the one Ive seen on the dialogues. Any reason why it curves round like that surly it will reduce the speed gases can leave the turbo hence lower potenaial from the engine?

Unless the advanatage that higer RON offers (advance timing) can be utilised its a waste of money. I dont think a 1.4 will take any advantage of potential advanced timing so its a waste.

The parts are cheaper than I expected. I expected it to be about the same as the one on my Escort which costs £500 and although it was colour coded that was all the damage. 77 01 469 648 BUMPER REAR £85.00 ex VAT There there a few clips to hold it on with so another £5 77 01 205 226...

I tried to find the answer. But I kept looking through the stuff mike sells and count even guess. I would have had a guess but I forgot when the closing date was.

Jay can you explain to me why there 2 exgine codes for the Dci 700 and 704 (I think there the codes). Id like to learn some more about the engine but Reanult dialogs arnt that easy to read in that way.
