    2002 Clio RenaultSport 172 (equipment)

    Re: 2002 Clio Sport 172 (equipment) i beleive the only option on a ph2 172 was a 6 disc changer, my one never had one. altho it had the wire so possibly removed at some point EDIT: sorry sat nav was an option too

    2000rpm flat spot when cold.....

    who said the car was being put under load or red lined? a car can have a flat spot at any rpm/load. they do usually have odd flat spots for the first 30-60 seconds but should be fine after that, ambient temperature usually makes it better/worse

    Air filter and exhaust systems for a 182 with both cup packs

    na the standard paper ph1 filter is a better design too, much bigger with more surface area, so imo not as much of a restriction as the smaller flat ph2 filter, which with the same engine, any extra air flow will be more of a benefit. paper filters arnt bad when brand new but apparently foam...

    Air filter and exhaust systems for a 182 with both cup packs

    thats running the much better ph1 box and filter.

    Air filter and exhaust systems for a 182 with both cup packs

    disagree with that, i got proven gains on the RR with an ITG pannel a few years ago.

    Clio 200 - anyone running a raised limiter?

    yes torque is the one with the big peak at 3000rpm bhp is the smooth line that peaks at 202 up the top of the rev range

    Clio 200 - anyone running a raised limiter?

    TDF stage 3 is looking appealing, whats the crack with the flat spot on aftermarket exhausts is TDF able to map this out these days?

    Clio 200 - anyone running a raised limiter?

    looking at my RR graph from yesterday, lets not use this thread to dispute results etc but by looking at the graph its self, the car hasn't started to tail off even by the rev limiter, so looking at it i recon i would benefit from a few extra hundred RPM thoughts? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    1.2 ph2 buying advice

    gunk is normal, its condensation build up in the rocker cover. engines are ok, i blew one up at 140k but i was a mad 17yr old, car had FULL dealer history though!

    If someone told you..

    not surprized, 6th in the 200 is about as long as 2nd in your average diesel lol

    Dog bone mount bolt sheared. Good time to change the bushes?

    i sheared one a few years back too, it seems quite common on cars running uprated gearbox mounts (i was running a polly bushed 172 mount - it was on my 1.2 16v) i always put it down to the stress of less play in the mount. possibly just a s**t setup only having one lower mount if yours has done...

    Alloys are back on, looks so much better now :)

    looked better with the silver wheels, would have spent the money on some spacers and springs

    clio choices ?

    yes mounts are the same, 172/182 has a gearbox to subframe mount that the lower spec cars dont but id imagine you could just drill a hole in the subframe to use it anyway, however cant see that being an issue for you since you are using a different engine/box. suspension/lower arm/arb setup is...

    Clio 128 gt

    yep mate that sounds about right, the setup on it is awesome, it manages to offer little body roll, while soaking up bumps with ease, it does feel quite stiff on the road compaired to a Dyn S but in no way uncomfortable. The 200 with cup pack can be very uncumfy on the road but i dont mind as...

    Clio 128 gt

    too little torque for a car of that weight/size in the clio. engine does well in the twingo, infact it does better in the mk2 in 110hp guise!

    Clio 128 gt

    roundabouts and sharp corners are only going to be an issue if you approach it like a spaz and turn the wheel expecting it to turn. the mk3 chassis is extremely adjustable on the limit, use weight transfer to get it round the bend as you would in any nimble FWD car and you will be fine. I will...

    Clio 128 gt

    if your suffering from "lack of grip" in the GT then your using a far to aggressive and slow style. i done plenty of track days in mine and never had a single issue with the standard setup. standard brakes left a lot to be desired on track but not really what they were designed for. i beleive...

    My 172 lives again
