    1*2 to DCI80

    also ment to add, i paid £1800 for my dci65 with 140k miles (f**k all for a dci engine) in mint condition. their is bargains out there, had to pay £3500 for my 100 with 72k as they hold a premium being rare. got about 5-10mpg more from the 65 to be honest though, due to the bigger turbo need...

    1*2 to DCI80

    ive still got my 172 but had a dci65 and am now using a dci100 daily. dci100 is awesome, i took the 172 out the other day and it didnt feel fast, no feeling of torque, thats why its up for sale to go jap. dci 100 has the bigger turbo so is less responsive low down, but drives more like a...

    are dci's rear disks the same as 172 rear disks?

    are the rear disks on the back of my dci the same as 172 ones? no one lists rear disks on the net when i select my model so i was just going to get 172 ones if they fit?

    Clio 1.6 8V

    i had a shot of a 1.2 8v campus and would never go near one ever ever again! 60bhp petrol engine is horrible, however give me a 65bhp DCi any day and i will quite happily fly about in that!

    Clio 1.6 8V

    dynamique spec one would keep up no problem in bends, not much in it straight line 8v 1.6 getting all its torque lower down unlike the 1.2 that needs hammered, so would need to be giving the 1.2 5700rpm changes also a VTS would rape one silly!!! my dci just keeps up with VTR's in a straight...

    Clio 1.6 8V

    my mate has one of these, the dci makes mince meat of it lol
  10. Martin_172

    Possibly the 1st black dynamique on white dynamique alloys!!!

    doesnt suit ph2 wheels, andys ph3 ones look the nuts tho, needs tyre dressing and lowering though

    megane 225 engine into a clio 197

    id say its actually a pretty easy conversion due to running the same box, ecu and similar lumps. however i will add this, if you have had never ending toubles with your gearbox and engine and suspension id be looking at your or maby the previous owners driving style.

    Clio GT or Twingo 133

    im assuming the clio gt dci is the same engine in my dci100 but with a 6 speed box, personally as a mile muncher you wont find a better engine. BUT is it going to be as fun as a high reving 130bhp 1600 16v with VVT, is it f**k

    Clio GT or Twingo 133

    for doing they miles it would have to be the clio GT in DCi form for me. if your not bothered about running costs then twingo!

    DCi @ 17

    had the DCi 100 mate but was in the carpark outside not in the CS stand :)

    DCi @ 17

    at 70mph in the dci100 i average 65mpg, so id think an 80 could get 60 at 80 doesnt sound too far off. the full way back from FCS to scotland i averaged 52mpg and didnt get much under 100 the full way back!

    DCi @ 17

    dci clios are loud at idle from outside, so are all diesels. in car you would NEVER know your in a diesel to be honest, its quiet, i get a very faint whistle from the turbo when it comes on boost, with the window down it doesnt sound loud either again just a little whine from the turbo when its...

    mechanics question

    more than likely a bent conrod, water doesnt compress... suppose if car was driven with a bent rod piston would "oval" the bore

    DCi @ 17

    dci 100 is a good motorway croozer blasts to 120 indicated pretty quickly then starts to tail off (i had 119mph indicated the other day after a long long straight) i had a 65 and it was much more responsive around town due to smaller turbo and no intercooler, i then fitted an 80 intercooler to...

    why the change from a 182 and what engine?

    Been offered a Clio 172

    the reason these cars sell for such crap money is because people on this place for some strange reason decide to hammer the prices down. the price i paid for my dci which nearly everyone agreed was a "bargain" for a dci 100 with 71k on the clock could have got me a 172 with 30k miles, less...

    My New DCi 100

    yeah after 53plate the dci 100 was brought out and the 1.6 16v was also given rear disks. same size as the 172 ones Brett, im going to try my hardest to keep it standard as i like it as is. the dci 65 was just a bucket so a front mount and 60mm springs were a bit of fun lol

    Yokohama Parada Spec-2 OR Toyo Proxes T1-R's?

    ill be going back to eagle F1s when im due tyres, i needed tyres ASAP for a last minute road trip and got 2 ContiSport Contacts on the front (standard fitment 172 tyres i beleive) and they nearly f**king killed me today!

    Optimal track rim/tyre profile for 172??

    ideal for me would be 195/45/15 or 195/50/15 but im not buying a set of 15" wheels at the moment so standard 16's will need to do, ive always used 195/45/16 on them but i know you can use 205/45/16 and they come quite highly recomended just cost more!
