    Help

    Remap is going to be the most cost effective way to get extra power from the 1.2 TCE

    Modifications

    it was years ago i bought it, just search for universal intercoolers and find one that fits the space you have available.

    There is nothing off the shelf so you would need to make something yourself. I use a cheap eBay one and it works wonders

    Track cars with AC, Talk to me...

    to be fair I've never tried running without it but it detects the cabin temperature and adjusts the climate accordingly so i assume it needs to be there! You could relocate it though!

    Steering clunking noise

    Thats worrying!!

    Track cars with AC, Talk to me...

    All you need interior wise is the temp sensor in the roof panel at the light, the controls in the car along with obviously the heater matrix and heating box etc.

    rear disc brake coversion

    DCI100/ph3 1.6 16v rear beam should be a straight swap iirc?

    ABS firing when braking gently

    exact same issue on my 182 van, was rear left ABS sensor worked as normal above 5mph including kicking in when required, no lights on dash, looking at live data on diagnostics showed it wasn't reading any speed though

    Renault Clio RSi 1.6 16v Ph1 OEM+ Restoration

    Love a Clio RSi! good work, ive always been a fan of the standard wheels just because they are so different! although OZ F1 are the best looking wheels for a ph1!

    Megane RS 280 sport VS cup VS Trophy

    cup chassis would be a must for me purely due to the LSD. Both for performance and resale, surely keen drivers looking for a hot hatch don't buy these without an LSD????

    220 Trophy turbo failure!

    they do but I liked to keep the oil flowing through mine until the temp had come down although to be fair i always drove it sensible for the last few miles before I was turning it off!

    Solvent to dissolve oil during inspection?

    Actually I missed that bit! I would be finding another mechanic who can be bothered to pinpoint it!

    220 Trophy turbo failure!

    do you let it cool down before you turn it off when you have been driving it hard?

    Solvent to dissolve oil during inspection?

    As above brake cleaner, 5l will be well more than enough for even the worst oil leak and costs about a tenner from the factors, get a pump action pressure sprayer and just spray the s**t out it.

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    Yeah mine has all of the above but not the keyless entry, and it has the correct carbon centre console but without the space for a button so i assume it just have been an option or something. One less thing to go wrong i suppose as my mrs has a terrible track record with key cards lol

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    yeah my understanding is that the climate control was standard on them along with the full leather and the silver bits on the outside. Mine has electric folding mirrors which i think were a £100 option Oddly enough even as an 09 plate it has a key where my 57 plate R27 had keyless entry, what...

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    yeah non cup chassis, only options on it are Xenons & electric folding mirrors as far as i can see!

    Clio 2005 1.2 16v PAS and AC compressor question

    Welcome RödErik, a 2005 will be electric PAS, everything apart from the RS was electric PAS from PH2 2001 onwards (from what I can remember!, the 1.2 definitely was!) Yes you can simply remove the belt to the AC compressor and you will be fine with that. They can get a little noisy when they run...

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    My man maths also missed out from the equation that if i put an F4RT in it, i can use the 197 internals in the RaceVAN....

    Martin's 197 Lux Project
