decat + filter will get you maybe 5~8hp. But your only at 166hp stock due to Reanult hp classification. Add an external mapped ECU and you on about 5hp ontop of the 5~8 a decat + filter gets you. Idd wait and save for cams, head, remap, exhaust cold air intake + filter, and full exhaust...

Soory if you took it to mean I was sl*gging you of didnt mean to. Ive got enough people who hate me in the real world dont need any more. I know you were only trying to give your own advice on the situation The calipers, disks and pads are as far as I am aware the same but the new Clio is...

Best bed the engine in hard the first 20 miles are the important ones. A few % of the power can be lost here as the rings need to hone and be put inder some laod otherwise blowly the piston will happen. Its like starting a new job and then giving you no work to do for the first few days youll...

The 172 engine is very supceptable to heat (all engines are but the 172 particularly) so a cold air intake will help but may pick up more dirt so the filter needs cleaning more so if dont clean it more it reduces your power. The most important thing about intake air is that it is cold when it...

Dynamics have the same front end setup as the GTT, Valver and Williams so its not a bad setup. IMO its good if it can out perform the tyres grip ie kick the ABS in then its over spec. Ive never managed to realy fade mine and that some heavy driving. Groved disks have less power but resist fade more.

£21 I think but its about 3/4 hr work programming so £60 ontop. Pop into an electric shop preferable a computer shop and ask them if thell do it there probably better at soldering. Evn if they charge you a £5 its cheaper than a new fob.

I dont think the engine can use the advantage of increased RON. It probably will take account if the fuel to low spec but what spec that is I dont know. You should bed the engine in hard though the first 20 miles. Easy running in can lead to rings not bedding in so lost power. If the engine...

Sound like you learnt the hard way about composite there not all there cracked up to be (no pun intended). Would be amazing to see a 200+hp 182 though. Have you though about a older 172 or Cup there a few pre-registed cups for £11k which would save you a bit and are lighter. A yr old cup is...

The thing is to sensative realy Renault can turn it down by 30% (or to 30%) by swopping the wires from the sensors round. No idea how to safely lock it though without the alarm. You can deactive the interior sensors (read the manual I forget how) but if its the external sensor which need...

Depends some cars do more milage when there young some do about the same. I know theres a few 2yr old clio with 60+K on the clock (although there DCis) Mine hit 6k in under 3 months I think and the dealership never mentioned anything.

If your after 200+hp via and GDi and BenR then Id say your looking at 2 to 2.5k so the difference from your VX is only £7.5k which isnt massive. Might be better of keeping the VX.

That link doesnt work. PI are the best I belive for new shape Clios but I take it you have a MK1 so no idea soory someone will be be along soon.

Depends how much you want to spend £6k on a turbo kit all in for ~250 to 275hp from K-tec Romaers TB kit gets you ~212hp for I think about £2.5 to 3k. But then port the head and new cams for another £800 and your on about 240hp. Otherwise shopping around and you should be able top get...

He has been using parts from the cup racing series etc new cams (not sure if he still has them on as he disliked the low end) 70mm exhaust. Ported head, ECU, bigger TB, intake + exhaust manifolds from the race cars. Think thats all not sure if he hit 200hp though. There is another member who...

I love the lines This will allow you to control your boost without having to purchase a $300 boost controller or timer. The supercharger will ram air into the throttle body and significantly boost horsepower and torque. 1psi increase even if the kit could make it is only 6% not exacly huge...

There is a company who do turbo kits for these engine at the moment. No idea who though maybe BB tunning

Might be worth trying Chester unless garge for warently work or servicing but cheap prices. They have a 182 in the showrooom in blue last time I went there. There supposed to be getting a 182 demo in soon as well.

Your not trying hard enough I got a 1.5dci 172 with sunroof and 16 inch alloys once.

The turbo version will be the new shape Clio the one based on the Micra platform or chassic I forget which. If you look hard enough at the badges on the pictures you can see the letters 2.0T on the side

1.6 or 1.4 wil fit Im assuming you have a Mk2 2 Clio if so youll need a Mk2 2 Clio engine as the multiplex wiring can be difficult to work on.

Theres tones of possible problem best take the magazine out and put it back in then take the cd player out and take the cd changer cable out turn the cd player on and of then put the cable back in. If that fails bend the cd changer cable a bit that usually does the trick for me.

Id say the Cupra. More expensive to run in some way than the Williams but repairing the williams can be expensive. The turbo engine will cost more in fuel and insuracne probably.

26000 or there abouts since Sept 2002.

Dont think the 6 speed box will fit easily. Would be a good way of keeping the production rates up whilst people know its replacement is due. But it sounds like its faster thn the V6 which is a problem as the fastest car in the range is usually the most prestigious and expensive. Put it...

Sounds like a decient price that soory to say. Im 3yrs older than you with one claims and they want £1800 for the privaliage. Best try the companies in the back of max power etc but you may have difficulites regard payment in the event of a crash.

182 would sound like a possibilty. Jeramy has never told us for or against but he wouldnt tell us if one was out would he as it may lower sales for the 182 as people wait. If a 182 Cup wasnt to come out he would have told us. The Cup was IMO a way of helping sell some more 172 whilst sales...

172 mods should work for the 182. Same engine realy so 200hp is possible probably easlier than a 172. Cams, ported head, Unichip (or similar) and Cold air intake should get you some more power. I know the cams on the 182 are different and I recon there probably less extreme (to help lower...

I think there just gettig bigger as people are on adverage getting bigger. All cars have got bigger Golfs are the best example.
