    Considering a clio diesel

    dci will be 58mm bolt spacing. go the full hog and fit 172 bottom arms, hubs, ARB, and brakes :D that way your getting awesome big brakes, the FK's and getting rid of the issue with the rubbish drop links on non RS cars!
  16. Martin_172

    Considering a clio diesel

    yeah nothing wrong with FK's i had Silverline X's on my 1.2 i just mean at the time i wanted cheap lows and couldnt get cheap coilovers like Vmaxx, but now their is no reason not to go for cheap coils unless your on a very low budget. i was torn between Vmaxx or eibachs that i already had and...

    Considering a clio diesel

    im not sure to be honest never really looked into it, id imagine they will pop up on ebay not sure on whats involved to retro fit though, i know they use the 197 ones on the 172/182's yeah to be honest especially if its a runabout and you want a bit of comfort, infact not so much comfort just...

    just bought my first clio :)

    Re: just brought my first clio :) they do fine for stance, my old 65 used to bounce about on them! they were actually pretty good when paired with the apex dampers on my 1.2 too!

    Considering a clio diesel

    awesome, its surprizing how many people overlook cambelts! id look into fitting something like a mk3 steeringwheel doesnt have to be a RS one just the normal dynamique ones, i never understood the issue with mk2 wheels (thats why i had my ph1 one retrimmed) until i bought my mk3 and now im...

    just bought my first clio :)

    Re: just brought my first clio :) eibach give you the best ride comfort and performance but stance isnt their strong point, Apex give you a nice agressive stance being -60mm but they soon kill the dampers and the ride and handling isnt the best!

    Considering a clio diesel

    keep it standardish and just enjoy the cheap motoring. best bit of cash i spent on mine was a decent service, done it myself but changed oil, filter, gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluid, cabin filter, air filter. i found with a panel filter (think it was a K&N i had) it spooled that wee bit...

    who has had their car re-mapped?

    intercoolers hold money usually about £100-£150 ish to buy. injectors forget it unless you have a minimum of about £300 to play with and thats if you get them cheap!
  23. Martin_172

    who has had their car re-mapped?

    a dci65 will remap to 90hp as standard, fit an 80 intercooler and you can push about 95hp, by this point injectors are your next limit
  24. Martin_172

    who has had their car re-mapped?

    works best for turbo cars both petrol and diesel. its worth doing a 172 however i got a decent gain from mine, more in drivability rather than power. my DCi flew when it was remapped!

    Its been a long while since i have posted any pics....

    looks good you should get a slightly smaller front plate measured to the recess, i done that with my old dci100 and looked good! a tiny difference but makes it look cleaner and a bit more agressive Uploaded with ImageShack.us
