That was my thoughts as well so makes total sense! I couldn't quite work out why it wouldn't have this problem lower down in the gear range but guess it's injecting a lot more fuel in to achieve the same revs when at speed so the gas volume is much bigger. I'll swap the wastegate this weekend...

Hi Mike They are the same as the 172 can be retrofitted with cruise control. ESP is done by the ABS so separate. It would be cheaper for you to get a complete ECU kit, just make sure the UCH type n2 or n3 is the same.

Firstly it's a DCi, not in the title to lure you petrol turbo people in too! It's almost the same thing ;) Since I've had the car the coil light has always come on when flat out on the motorway. I fitted a boost guage a couple of days ago and have now been able to witness what happens. Always...

Ahh, very interesting. So to cup pack a car you just change to a cup pack subframe and if you want the castor swap over the wishbones. I learnt something today! :)

had et43 on my car with 15mm on the front and back didn't rub. Back was close though. Front will be totally fine unless you're really low. Rear I would have 5mm spacers max with et35

I don't know if that's totally right mate. Subframe is part of it but there is also a difference in the hubs, tie rods, wishbones and driveshafts on the cups. Appreciate some of the track will come from the frame but it's the combination of the parts which gives the full set up. Rear axle has a...

Just keep the standard. You will never notice a difference the gain if there is one which isn't guaranteed. I bought one for my first ever car and was so disappointed with it. Better to spend you money on something else or save it for a rainy day.

take off the airbag, couple of clips on the horn ring, torx screws on the buttons, pop them out, easy!

Ahh jolly good. Mileage is stored in clocks which is also perfect for what you want :)

I'm near maidstone if I can help. Have CLIP diagnostics

have you pressure bleed the system and is the vacuum line on the servo connected up?

Will be fitting a boost gauge to the clio to monitor levels when I install a boost controller. Just want somewhere to mount it where it doesn't look stupid, doesn't require fibreglassing and is still easy to look at. I'm not keen on having it on the pillar. Thank you everyone

Behind the n/s headlight in the engine bay under the fuse box cover :)

I think the dials are the same in every car and regardless they just do what the ecu/uch tells them to. They aren't part of the kit so your current clocks will be fine. The diagnostics goes through the airbag ecu. Would take some programming on clip to remove the ABS so it is probably best to...

just swap the cam breather over

Got the alloys back and am very pleased with how they turned out. Will put them on when the weather gets a little better. Replacing the injector seal has made the car run quite a bit better which is good and the egr valve cured the intermittent no boost problem. Ordered a Tim superdash boost...

Wrotham heading towards brands hatch right now

solid red light. Try the small relay in the engine bay fuse box. Seen 3 go. looks like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-RELAY-5-PIN-BLACK-GENUINE-RENAULT-PART-/151532125878?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ARenault&hash=item234804beb6

@rsdan that looks lovely mate. I'd have a Monaco rep if I could. Couple of jobs on the car today One of the injectors was leaking so I replaced the copper washer. Had been leaking for quite some time as you can see. I also tried to adjust the turbo actuator but one of the nuts was stuck so I...

Crikey buddy I thought you'd done a load more to it than was up yesterday. You went billet flywheel in the end!!! They've changed the design of it; there didn't used to be the holes on the edge. RC6 will be amazing, my old rc5+ were fantastic, let alone the next step up. Spend a couple of...

Cheers matey. I've done my best. Have you got any photos of yours? Wheels are done, getting them picked up tomorrow hopefully.

I was like that too until I got bored one day! Bund was good, my long eur/usd not so good. Lesson learnt!!

Nice one buddy, was wondering when you were going to get a project thread up!

Car is getting pretty filthy now because of the salty roads but I'm still on a high from the arb fix. Decided to finally get my Turinis refurbished for summer after they'd sat in the garage for ages waiting for me to attempt to paint them. Time efficiency won in the end so I dropped them at at...

I have an SGS "low profile" jack which is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Ton-Low-Profile-Trolley-Jack-/181139297816?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a2cbe5618 but you can't get it to the subframe bolt without parking the car on planks as the back end is too high and scrapes on the skirt...

Well that's what I can see from the pictures http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-RENAULT-CLIO-EXTREME-4-mk2-16V-SPORT-/171646237578?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27f6e9bb8a

sorry I read this the wrong way round. Swap the ph1 breather onto the 182 engine then use all the ph1 inlet, tb etc on the 182 engine.

Decat and springs are probably the only thing I would do if you're not going all out.

This is a similar issue with the 182. With cup pack it sits 20mm lower as standard so 30mm lowering springs only make 10mm difference. 20mm would make a difference though.

The only differences between the engines are the breather on the cam cover which you can simply swap over. As said exhaust ports are a bit bigger on the ph1 but the exhaust manifold bolt pattern is the same. Your'll use your existing inlet plenum so there will be no difference with the throttle...
