    Clio DCi Project ''Blue'' by Mihael

    Xenon's were an optional extra on dynamique models, as was the climate control that this has. You could also get esp, cruise, cabasse and electric sunroof. Looks awesome love it on the 17" Mégane wheels

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Bought this lot, not sure if I can justify the cost by the time I get it painted so sitting on the fence between fitting it or selling on

    New Car- Fiesta ST-Line

    Much nicer inside, massive improvement on the dash. Prefer the look of the seats in the older model though. I don't mind the wheels actually Interested to hear what you get fuel economy wise, my Mrs is thinking of getting one but does 40k a year

    All Pearl Blacks & Black Golds Look....

    I gave ours the works yesterday as it's not been washed in months. Wash, De tar, De contaminated, machine polished, sealed, waxed and all the stone chips touched up with a Sharpie ? It's just ticked over 140k

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Was at the scrappies today looking for an Ariel for the initiale, got one from a MK3 Clio as it's shorter so put that on the van and the standard one on the initiale. While I was there I picked up some clear side repeaters from a ph3 Also got the panel that goes behind the grill that keeps the...

    Fit fog lights to front bumper

    There is a mount that clips to the bumper then the fog light screws to the mount.

    Renault Clio radio satnav problem

    Checked the fuses to the unit? I'm not sure if the screen runs off the same fuse as the unit in which case that won't be the problem but if it doesn't it possibly defaults to the clock when the unit isn't working. Does the unit light up when the lights are on

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    I quite like the ph2 ones in black plastic when they have a coat of trim restorer on them! I put one on the van tempted to turn it into a cup racer rep lol I get what you mean too easy to get out of control with the spending!

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    get to the scrappies and get a dynamique spoiler for it, will finish the back end off brilliantly for about £15 quid with bigger spoiler and tinted brake light, 6 torx screws to swap it over, 2 minute job

    How often do you change your gearbox oil?

    I've only ever changed it when I've changed the box ? going to do the van this month as it's 19yr old!

    Mk3 Dynamique SX (non-sport) daily drive project

    The 75hp d4f already has a 16v head that was what gave it the extra 15hp. I wouldn't worry about the lag with a larger front mount in reality you won't even notice it unless you are fitting something the size of a living room radiator.

    Mk3 Dynamique SX (non-sport) daily drive project

    Good choice, it's based on the later d4f engine from 2004> so the 75hp one with the large black airbox/engine cover all as one. It got an aluminium inlet manifold with different throttle body and if I remember right the only difference internally was stronger valve springs, there was a breif...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    If I remember right the dci100 is different from other mk2s where on the 100 you can remove the near side shaft without draining the oil but not the off side. I'm sure but it's been a few years since I owned mine

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    the 1.6 16v uses the same ecu as the clio 172 and people tune them on the stock ecu for boost but I believe its not perfect but ive never driven one, it was covered on here a while back I think the thread was how to build a 300hp turbo clio or something.

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    that's why I couldn't find them on google!!!! lol ive got a K4M at the moment with the 4 speed auto, tempted to boost it for fun and see what the box can take before I scrap it!

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    you would need to run a piggyback or standalone for the ECU, or remap the standard ecu but its not an ideal solution.

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    at a guess that would cost a lot more than a turbo kit while getting you less power. you could turbo your current 1.4 then move over to 1.6 if you decide to go forged for more power, TWR performance do a turbo kit that fits 1.4 and 1.6 engines.

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    depends on your idea of fun really, some find the standard car fun, some find them with 300hp as slow. ultimately coming from a 98hp 1.4 then 170hp with turbo torque Is a good useable power.

    Advice needed 172 Cup Handling

    rear shocks make it feel terrible so if your planning on doing fresh shocks anyway start with them, then if you haven't already id look at inner track rods, track rod ends and rack bushes then worth a good alignment setup after all of that from somewhere reputable,

    I would start one but I drive the worlds most hated RS Clio :D

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    yeah if your car uses a jb1 then you can use a jb3 and jc5 box as far as I know, they are a similar series box so same linkage and cable clutch. I would just go for a 1.6 16v 110 engine as its a straight easy swap and if you want more power then turbo charge it rather than going down the n/a...

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    I never touched the turbo on my 100 so never had to remove one, it should come out the top id imagine, its fairly easy on a dci 65/80 remove the airbox, egr housing gives you access to get it out the top. there will probably be guides online for 65/80 but its all reasonably similar

    Clio 2 1.4 16v -> 1.6 16v GT Swap.

    the engine should be a pretty straight swap, your car as far as im aware will use a JB3 gearbox? which the 1.6 16v 110hp also used so that engine would be a straight swap but I believe the twingo RS uses a JR5 or something similar, where the clio GT version of the engine used the 6 speed box...
