personally high millage 1.5dci like mine, £350 remap for 100bhp and more torque than a 172.
£35 a year road tax
£300 a year insurance (19 2yrs ncb)
70mpg all day long if u behave! over 50 if you dont!
beutiful sounding car as standard, awesome car to drive too feels like it was designed to be a hot hatch rather than the 172 that feels like a normal clio has been converted to a hot hatch, LSD, short throw gearbox, proper driving position, small steering wheel its awesome, clios quicker though lol
2003 172 bought on 21k now on 48k 2 years later...
1.driveshaft gone
1a driveshaft replaced!
2. Handbrake Cables (yes both within a week) snapped causing mot fail
2a renault had none and couldnt get any for 2 months, no scrappys had them, motor factors said they had them in stock but any...
Re: Opinions on the clio of turinis
would be anthracite for me but imo turinis are getting old now, would be standard wheels in anthracite if i was you
have a look into a 1.6 16v box im not sure what the ratios are but i do know it fits! its apparently slightly weaker though not sure on the differences of the 2, or you can use a 1.2 box! lol
ive found genuine leads to be a slightly better fit at the spark plug end but they drive the same as really the only benefit is, as ben is looking for, the pretty colour.
who knows tho might make make a difference on a highly tuned car such as this ITB clio
civic sounds amazing for a standard car, he had an exhaust on it for a bit which sounded mental but didnt give a power gain and was a bit annoying so went back to standard, but standard system sounds amazing when warm.
dci 80 and 172 use the same box, dci 65 (mine) uses the 1.6 16v box both of which can use 172 boxes i just dont know about the flywheel? its the flywheel thats gone on mine
i had the recessed one previously, went for the stealth so i could have a standard rear again with no exhaust on show although its currently showing slightly due to a dodgey exhaust clamp ive got on it while waiting on my stainless steel ones coming they both sound pretty much identical
driving normal its not to bad, before the decat it was nice and quiet about town, now its a bit louder but sounds much deeper and nicer, its fine on the motorway when you get going, bit loud under load when going up hill or coming onto the motorway etc
since they use similar gearboxes do the 172 clutches fit the dci clios? the flywheel is gone on my dci so changing the clutch while am at it and want to use an uprated one for mapping but can only find 172 ones?
