Gary brown has one. He reconed he would get about 8hp more tops. He had his car RR on a hot day and got some good power levels. Ive not seen him on reciently though. He was quite pleased with the Remap though EDD

Chipping There is very little hp gain to be achieved by chipping a N/A engine. A remaps N/A engine should give it a little big smoother power delivery and more torque lower down. But the increase is very small. They can cost up to £500 for custom remaps. The different types of remap are 1- The...

RSport dealership isnt the dealership which has anything to do with Rsport themselves. Its just the name of a garage. The Rsport group N ECU isnt the one they use in Cup racing I think Rsport call it that as a sort of promotion name its like the Williams Clio not having anything to do with...

Soory about that one _KDF I wasnt paying attention. The disabling of the ABS may mean you get 50/50 but as the rear disks are smaller maybe the lack of strenght at the back compensates for the equal pressure. EDD...

I paid £99 for mine to be done (A dci although a 1.2 is the same price) How come your brakes lasted 18k mine were 90% worn they dint offer to replace them. They just noted it down. £60 for change of brakes is better than what my garage wanted though (£90) It is 18k or 2yrs and there is a...

Best to do a search for it. Brun had a GTT engine droppin in his Clio at GDI it looks very good in the pictures Ive seen but his is a MK1 clio I think. The mark 2 should be more spacious. The wiring isnt to difficult I hear but that going into a Mk1 the Mk 2 has more wiring and there the ABS...

Your Renault finance deal is that you pay so much a month and at the end have the choice of buying the car. So you have two choices 1 Buy the car back at the end of 3yrs for the agreed amount you signed the contract for and they dont care if you will have done 200k as long as there not...

13 cm front and rear I believe. EDD

Option 2 or 3 getting out of dept by not having a car isnt a good idea IMO. Better to keep things how they are buying a new car will just mean even bigger debts and whos to know that you will like the new job and your stuck in it to pay your debts. Best keep your options open who wants to be...

Have a look here on this guys bedding in idea for modern engine (its for motobikes but says the same is true for cars. http://www.mototuneusa.com/http://www.mototuneusa.com/ It convinced me. Not entirly sure of his idea of smaller porting as it so different to what car owners do but there is...

Forget it Rob fen tried looking at getting a 172 engine dropped in but gave up with all the work tht was required. You could drop the 172 1.6 etc engines or even a GTT engine in there easily but its the wiring etc which is more work. you would need a wrote of 17 for all the bits and pieces...

Same material maybe but is it treated the same. It could be drop forged etc then cold worked. It may be annealed or loads of other methods to strenghten it. It may also be better ballenced. EDD

Can some please explain what cd changers will fit a dynamics cd player. Ive tried searching for an answer but Im still in the dark. The 172 cd player looks the same as the dynamics on but are they different? Can I buy a 172 cd changer and plug it in (what wire/wires do I need)? Also who...

The 182 software wont be much different also I think you would need the 182 mods o the engine to get the most out of the remap. Im sure Renault can do this though through the OBD port the same as superchip do. The ECU is totally flashable I belive so the whole ECU could be taken out of one can...

Thats Renult for you. When I went to them for some warently work a while ago I waited at the counter whilst the receptionist was talking to the mechanic. HE was telling her that the build sheets for the car werent right as the couldnt understand why parts didnt fit the car. Seems the who car was...

I think the build quality is quite decient on the old ones we have a R reg estate at work and its not treated easy and it still goes. It only has 40k on it as its maximum journey is 3 miles so the engine never warms up which is terriable for wear on the engine. I heard the VVT on the 160...

A chip and the cams in the racing series give 285hp. With an exhaust and induction kit 300hp should be achievable. EDD

You should get about 90hp without a sports rear exhaust. Without a cat who knows maybe 1hp the gain will be minimal the 130 VW owners do this and they loose power sometimes. EDD

I just use what dads bought for his car. Ive just washed it and I didnt look at what its called probelay some cheap halfords stuff. For polish I use turtle wax stuff seems to dothe job well enough. EDD

Yep it doresnt sound as good but I have to admit to preser the sound of a diesel to a petrol (factory setup ones anyway) Big Ian if your reading I got a new dipstick for free from the Renault garage I went to (not my original dealer) said they have had a few break and ordered me a new one in...

Well Im not 100% sure they may use the 1.9 105hp dci turbo. It would be a good one to use as the 1.9 105 is being replaced by the 1.5 100 so keeping the same turboes would help keep costs down. Im realy interested in the 65 >101 dci modes can you tell us any more. I take it your running the...

Tony cart once said the exhaust manifold was worth 5hp the intake would be worth about the same I think. EDD

Err Im not 100 sure tonycart is the best person to ask as he knows about the racing of them. Im under the impression that offical cup racing is with Mk1 none DBW ecus which are group N modified. I imagine that new cup racers will be able to use the Mk2 DBW ECUs soon and so they Ecu have been...

There is very little increase possible on a petrol n/a engine the 172 gets ~6hp on adverage out of a chip so the gains are almost nothing on a 1.2 unfortunately. You need forced induction or a diesel to make some real gains. Ive seen loads of adverts for the company though. Never heard of...

The 100hp diesel Clio will get about 120hp I belive. The engine has some strengthened parts I have a list somwhere but its connecting rods etc. The turbo is a bigger one to handle 1.4 bar boost (the normal one 65/80 one will only take 1.15 bar) Unsuprisingly Renault havnt given the 100 more...
