Interesting that the windscreen is different! So the 1.2 has thinner glass on the windscreen than the 172/182?

I was building a hill climb car a few years ago but it had to go unfortunately. Now I'm looking into using the Clio. Although tbh spending a whole day for 5 minutes of driving isn't great. I'd have to check the blue book very carefully as its for the road class. Things like induction, exhaust...

Thanks! I just saw those in another post! They're weights from a 172 cup with thinner glass, so I assumer would there be more saving with the other models?

Is there much weight to be saved swapping the electric windows and mirrors for manual items?

Hmm very tempted. I'm a bit worried it wouldn't do with the leccy mirrors, windows and radio. Rally Design do the RMD25 for £60 and Rapid Electronics do the same one for £40

Would it be ok off charge for a week at a time?

Anyone? There's 10 wires. Would there be any difference putting this in a ph1 172 after it being in a ph2 182?

How do these fair on weekend and occasional use cars? Do they hold charge ok?

38mm rear is from a Laguna or Megane?

Would an EC1 ECU and loom for a 182 be usable with a Ph1 172 without too much grief?

AST, PMS or Compbrake

How much camber and caster adjustment do you get with top mounts?

Re: Ph1 172 Bought all the stuff a while ago. I was supposed to be doing a ported and polished head as well but funds have been tight recently. Whilst the car is in the garage in bits I need to get a new clutch, makes sense to ARP it as well. Things have improved financially now so I should...

Yes! A proper car. Get a Duratec in there, 2.3 would be nice with Cosworth cams and a D power inlet for daily use. And FRP > ITR, no question about it. VTEC...yawn.

If I can get a weight for a standard boot and glass I can work all the rest out :)

Re: Ph1 172 Got my inlet today from ALDevelopments. Pictures hardly do it any justice. Ports matched to Renault gaskets, throttle body area smoothed and mating faces machined. Price is £150 including delivery for those interested.[...

That'll do me long term then :) Crank oil seal is leaking...

Rings need a quick bedding in with some high gear, low speed WOT to start with then as above. I.E 5th gear at 30mph. No point paying a premium for 'proper' running in oil either. Just the cheapest basic stuff will do becuase A, you won't use it long enough and B, it won't get hot enough to...

Well a 1*2 with 197 cams and a RS2 inlet makes close to 200bhp. And a standard 197 in reality is more like 185bhp. So you should see around 200bhp IMO, maybe a bit more with the better VVT control on the 197. The only problem is the clearance and the lower part of the inlet has a different bolt...

I would talk to 519 about ITBs instead tbh. But the inlet on the 197 is better flowing so gains aren't as great. Some people have seen up to 30bhp from ITBs on the 172 and 15-20bhp on the 197.

I was tempted by the RE002 until the 595 RS-R came up at a good price and with the milage I do I went for the stickier tyre.

Will a standard clutch kit cope with ITBs and cams on trackdays?

My titanium as it stands

Look at that shine :cool:

What are the weight savings on the Clio from a set of poly windows (Found a value of 5kg for the fronts but what about the rear?) and a fibreglass tailgate with full internals. Also can the tailgate be used with the standard lock and hinges?

It sounds pretty loud! Centre section must make a fair bit of difference then.

Lovely shaft and knob. I'd love that inside mine.

Goes nicely and sounds good too :) are you running a decat too?

Is it a fairly quick affair one can do before or even at a track day?
