if i was getting something so slow id want something cheap to run so id go dci power! 65mpg, £20 a year tax and cheap insurance, also much better to drive than gutless small engine petrols.
if it has to be petrol go for the 1.6 16v its not much more to insure and it has a wee bit more torque...
extreme 4 is similar to a dynamique but slightly less speced.
you will have had colourcoded bump strips from factory however they will have a matt finish, not lacqured or rubbed down before paint.
you will also have different interior from a normal dynamique (kinda green coloured seats) with...

heres a few of mine.
previous owners pics...
the night i got it home...
few weeks later...
as i was taking it off the road for winter with my dci100 dynamique...
and how she sits at the moment waiting for summer!
agree with whats been said throughout this thread wouldnt let any of that lot near my car, they are ok for a generic remap on your diesel to give you a bit of a boost in hp and torque but would never consider anything but a specialist for something like this, TDF, RS Tuning and of course Henk @...
Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
100 internals are stronger as renault apparently threw a few pistons thru the block while stress testing the 100 engine, however im not sure how stressed these engines were!
few guys on the forum running mapped 65s around the 100bhp mark, id imagine a mapped 80...
love it, its so cumfy, well built, nice to drive and handles awesome! it lacks power, got a nice torque band but imo needs 220lb/ft or so! (they have 180 as standard) ive rarely had it over 2.5krpm just cruise about in it. 2krpm in 6th gear is 75mph. however so far its not been great on fuel...
wandering in a straight line will be the rear dampers, its one of they feelings you cant put your finger on it but it just doesnt feel right!! go into a damp roundabout a little faster than you normally would and lift off and you will soon tell if the rears are gone!!!
i wouldnt be paying...
just got mine today thought it was worth a try at only £16.99 and turns out its pretty good! well impressed by it. worth a try for anyone looking to go wireless, comes with a tiny USB receiver, that controls the both of them so only needs one usb port, free delivery and includes batteries...
i think the OP has possibly used the wrong term, driven hard and possibly means fast flowing driving? my ph1 is awesome on fuel on a nice summers day just driving down a nice twisty road at 60/70/80mph hardly braking hardly acclerating just flowing in and out the bends.
had this on my old 1.2 16v dynamique, was the rear washer jet line, it runs up the near side and was leaking at a joint behind the rear n/s door card, i bet you a tenner its that!
few snow pictures from the other day, what a noisey pair these are lol!!
currently trying to source a set of white 197/200 speedlines for the DCi and a set of 40mm springs
Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
this is looking awesome now!!
just needs a DCI 100 turbo, Intercooler and remap to finish it off!! i miss my old mapped 100 :(
my mrs has a mk2 one and her sis a mk3 one, nice refined engine for about town however doesnt have the power to warrant the terrible fuel consumption, the mk2 does 38mpg on a decent run, the same as my 172 and the mk3 is worse.
if your coming from something quick, go for something cheap to run...
fuking lol, as said 17s would look good on it.
all you needed for megane RS wheels was a set of wheel adators, same idea as fitting 197 wheels to a non RS Clio...
