Why not just go standard? I have two 172’s, one stock and one with a ‘stealth’ which is no doubt even louder and more horrible as its decat and non res. Do you have the back open? I noticed mine was headache inducing when I had the seats down and parcel shelf removed. The resonance literally...

Did any phase 1’s get them, thought it was a ph2 thing.

Yep, should fail for HID retro fitted into halogen specific lamps for sure, nothing to argue about there. The other part about washers is moot I guess in your case but he’s kind of wrong anyway as headlight washer requirement for HID is only after 1st sep 2009.

She was true iceberg silver this morning...

Blimey, what they selling for now then!

Sports cats are usually borderline at MOT. They should work but it’ll be a case of really hot. I’d think twice about doing it though, it’s only original once and some people will ask if it’s got it’s OE cat when buying. It’s not something that’d bother me to be honest but I know it matters to...

The R32 GTR lap was prob my favourite (there’s a dedicated vid). On the subject of R32, does anyone watch Alex Crosse? Pretty small YT channel but nice down to earth guy building a Grp A R32 GTR replica in his shed (for track use)

Now that looks like the sort of graph you’d want on a clio when you go to all the trouble of modding! very nice.

I’m assuming they’re not available though? (Hence this thread)

I do love iceberg.

I wonder if my car is legit power, I’ll dig the graph out but it supposedly makes 185. That’s a 172 with decat system, induction, bigger throttle body (can’t see this does bugger all?) port matched inlet & remap. It feels to have way more torque lower down than my completely stock 172 but if...

Yep, genuine carbon. I’d paint them but the carbon ones seem a bit more organic/rounded compared to OE cup blanks.

Yeah they look good, want some! Are the carbon ones worth anything as I want to ditch them in favour of these.

Sure, PM me an address

Got some of the above if anyone wants them. Look perfect. @DomP182 first £3 donation to poppy appeal & I’ll post them FOC to anyone who wants them (if Dom doesn’t)

His definitely feels rapid from the passenger seat, mind you it was fresh/damp air Friday. I’d be interested in going in another 996 to see. I’ve only ever driven 964/993 C2’s other than this but this feels much better to me. They do seem to do 320bhp with exh, filter and remap (allegedly)...

Really impressed with the performance of these cars, not sure if my mate’s one is a ‘good one’ but it seems pretty rapid. Or maybe I’ve just been driving my clio too long! (not even had my sti out since Jan) Had a longer run out in it the other day. Seems so strong and urgent as you press the...

Depends what you call bad MPG? My WRX 2.0 does about mid 20’s I’d guess but I’ve never measured just going off what my clio does (as it tells me). My sti I’m not sure but it’s actually noticeably better than my WRX when cruising (but is remapped and about 100bhp more) so worse when pushing on...

If I ever sell my V6 sti the JDM hatch will be the one for me, love them.

Looks like a very good result for a first outing, love’d your mate’s eyes the first few accelerations.

Maybe it was? OP bought the car and was happy as far as I can see. I don’t really see how you can blame the dealer for what’s going wrong now as opposed to how it was running weeks ago. Was he supposed to make a video saying “it’s a nice car but don’t buy it because I looked in my crystal...

I don’t really get the negativity towards the dealer to be honest (reading back through the replies) It’s a 17 year old car for relatively cheap money and it was fine when they sold it. Also, maybe they would do something but OP has been trying to sort it himself so can’t really be annoyed at...

I guess you never really know what power hondas are running with the tuning potential. Last time I was on track there was a couple and they’d have the legs to pass down the straight. Mind you I was thinking an old Corsa was going well til I found out it was running over 200bhp & I could Just...

This was quite a good watch

Not serious, just interested. Thought maybe my car was lacking power as they walk away on the straights. One of the best cars I’ve seen on track are those new meganes, seem amazing.

Stock power clio?

I’d say you’re doing the right thing. IMO with Clios there’s a point of diminishing returns and that comes after decent road tyres and brakes. When you go on track and see how fast a Honda type r is you’ll realise you just need to have fun with what you have. If you want to go mad on a track...

Also, while you’re at the electrical connector checking have a look at the loom plug on the bulkhead. Gotta be a dodgy connection somewhere going off the symptoms. My car was all fine until the weekend and I started having electrical issues (not alarm though), after the non stop rain...

Did a search on this and it’s a bit cloak n dagger for some reason so thought I’d take some pics... So much rain here and has some sudden issues with my 172 at weekend, injection system fault light and limp mode, wont rev past 3k, revs behaving strange etc. I scanned and had supposed pedal...
