Red, I think over the years my exhaust has shifted slightly, so the mount has pulled it back to where it should be and it's took all the give out of making it essentially under stress, so even a tiny bit of vibration is amplified into the boot, i'm not really using the Clio as a daily atm so a...

I hate my Powerflex exhaust mount, all the vibration has been transferred to the boot lid and it's annoying as f*ck. Click on any point in the vid and you'll hear it, now imagine the revs staying at that sweet spot in traffic or on the motorway, it got a little better when I removed the plastic...

Does mixing it with Diesel not thin it out, or does unleaded make it alot thinner?

Pretty much, although it doesn't work as well in cold conditions because it makes the oil thicker, that's why people use a mix of veg oil and diesel, as in a quarter tank of diesel and the rest oil, or heat a load of oil up before using it as that thins it out a bit (as in heat it up and let it...

A mate of mine who is mixed race pulled me up on it, it basically means half done. It comes from the term half-caste which comes from the Latin castus meaning pure, so half-caste = impure.

I had to train myself to stop saying halfcast, as that was the term everyone used when I was growing up in the 80's, it wasn't seen as racist it was just the term used to describe someone of mixed race, even by my teachers.

So you're gender prejudice as well as a racist? Right more points coming your way after I report you, you despicable monster!!!

No problem mate, Clio Lives Matter.

Yes one bolt at a time is quite important, the engine can handle one bolt being removed then put back, but not a few at a time. Also if it's not instantly apparent which bolt is leaking (if any), then it's best to clean all the oil off the rocker cover as best you can, put the inlet manifold...

Just a bit of sealant under the head of the leaking bolt will do the trick, they're known to weep from time to time, it's not a symptom of something more serious or anything, just one of the Clio's many quirks.

It's probably one of the rocker cover bolts weeping I had it with one of mine, I put some gasket sealant under the head of the bolt and tightened it back up and the leak never came back, also be aware it could be more than one bolt that's leaking too. If you do this don't over tighten the...

You can't say coloured anymore, they don't like that term.

Am I right in thinking that a 172 cat is 200 cell, where as a 182 cat is 100 cell, meaning you could still pass emissions and potentially have a better flowing exhaust on a 172 by welding or sleeving a 182 cat onto a 172 pipe?

If you have a standard engine mount i'd leave it there, they're not the strongest mounts to begin with, the extra vibration could wear a new mount out even quicker than normal, if you've got uprated mounts then you could probably remove it without noticing anything.

It's to reduce vibration from the engine.

Literally the worst photo of me in existence. lol

I was expecting to see a photo of me, disappointing in you Ryan.

I hope that's your half naked kid, because he looks like he's trying to sneak off before his kidnappers notice he's gone.

Most people just make one of these. (Apart from me, I have an Espace V6 airbox because I like the sound) https://www.cliosport.net/threads/the-fattys-ktec-alternative-induction-setup-that-works-just-as-well.761531/page-37#post-11484101 1:25 to hear the Fatty (K-Tec style) IK.

Bigger pump make go faster I think.

Been neglecting this thread, tbh I completely forgot about the channel until a new vid went up today, since Roadkill is no more unless you give them money it looks like this will have to do for anyone needing a muscle car fix, there's always 1320 but there's only so much of going in a straight...

You have a serious problem you need to seek professional help for.

That's proper cool, F4R conversion would be amazing.

Renault Sports much fetch a premium over there, you should setup a side business importing them from the UK, they're bloody peanuts over here.

Do Renault sell cars in Canada and the US? I know they have a factory in Mexico but I think they just make the crap they sell to Mexicans.

I guess being French almost makes them exotic.

I guess the fact that it's rare and different gets it noticed, like seeing an American car on UK roads, it turns everyone's heads because you don't see them everyday, I see Porsche 911's & Nissan GTR's all the time, but when a tatty old Mustang burbles past me I nearly crash my car from staring...

What do the Canadians & Yanks make of the 172, do they even know what they're looking at? I imagine they think it's a cute little toy right up until it out accelerates their 3 ton V8 SUV.

I find oil changes a piece of piss on 1*2's but I have been doing them on mine for years, I will admit the first one was a pain in the arse, but once you've had the fuel rail guard off once and not snapped the threads it's easy after that, I also use the claw thing which always gets the filers...

In the last couple of weeks you've cleaned that thing more times than i've cleaned mine in a year.
