I fitted Clio 172/182 injectors and had it remapped by RS tuning. Massive gains to be had, engine retains it's revvy nature but gains loads of low down grunt and genuine top end power, I love the engines it's a Shame they are shocking on fuel lol.
standard injectors are on the limit so people...
you can run an aux cable from the standard units cd changer port they are a couple quid on eBay, still doesn't fix the s**t sound quality of the standard unit lol
shame no cup pack, although it is a little harsh for normal driving!, as said above black speedlines, clean number plates and clio badge removed would finish that off lovely!
its a tough call, the 197 is my daily driver and its a hoot, although running costs have been eye watering!, I had a 200 from new so knew the fuel consumption was a bit worse than 172/182, but turns out 72,000 miles later they are bloddy expensive to maintain, ive had it about 6 months now and...
its actually not bad the boy across the road is into Mini's and has a JCW, a convertible Cooper S and a few others. The boy next door is into Lotus Cortinas and has a load of mk1 Escorts and his sun a Honda nut, the boy at the end of the street has a few old clapped out V8 AMG mercs and theres a...
that's the private reg that was on my trophy at some point! saw it on the hpi check!
EDIT: just noticed the top picture, that's the same drive way lol same boy I bought it from
proven with my scientific test too lol, standard my car was neck and neck with my mates fn2 from a rolling start and now it pulls on it slightly every time!
I've saw them both as my GT had the newer ones, I'm just curious if both sets of struts and top mounts fit, for example my car will have the old setup so I can't use new springs and dampers on my car, but can I use the new springs, dampers and top mounts on my car?
drove one on h&r springs wasn't a fan. Standard stuff is better Imo
do does it matter what top mounts I go for as long as it all matches? Is the shell/mounting the same?
yeah all 4 will be changed, I'm just curious about the front as I know the rears are a straight swap.
interestingly enough the 200 rears are now half the price of the 197 rears!
so the revised top mount, is this only an issue if I'm re using the old top mount, as I'm replacing both top mounts...
front dampers on my 197 are feeling past their best so looking to replace them. I notice the 197 Cup and 200 Cup ones are much the same price so was going to order a pair of 200 cup ones with 200 cup springs. Anyone know if they are a straight swap like 172 / 172 cup or are they different like...
ive got the full evolution system, as said above they don't sound all that in videos but in real life they sound fantastic, just what the car should have sounded like from the factory.
high up the revs they aint much louder than standard just a nice note, on part throttle they just have a nice...
200 EDC looks good in yellow, id have been tempted to stretch for a Trophy though for the better box and turbo!
£15k depreciation, that makes me feel sick!
my 197 r27 front grill has turned grey, looking for something long lasting to restore it back to black, been using AG trim detailer but it's ran out so looking to find out if there is anything else that's better
much better on the standard exhaust! car is looking good, need to get a few bits of paint tidyed up on mine!
problem with the standard exhaust is it rusts from the inside out! I done similar with a 172 system thinking it would last and it didn't :(
go to halfords and get yourself a pair of axel stands and a cheap trolley jack, jack it up at both sides to get the front off the deck, stick the axel stands under the long box sections running the length of the car, undo the cat from the exhaust and you should have enough movement to do a DIY...
