there is a guide on this written by myself somewhere, do a search

there were another runs with the bonnet closed, as the one printed. will test versus the standard airbox as soon as I'll get my hands on my old one (it's at my folks 150miles away) This test was made just out of curiosity and because we had 3 different setups to play with. Honestly I'm...

finally got out again and the results were a bit unexpected: The BMC CDA setup is pretty good actually as I didn't gained any from fitting the diy kit beside noise. Anyway will sell the BMC to get some profit. Still the diy k-tec style remains the best value/money/power gain kit over anthing...

I had the HElLIX organic kit bought from k-tec, but due to some other problems I had to change it after 30k. But it felt nice, obviously not that user friendly in trafic but I got used to it and loved it. Coupled with full engine mount upgrade and poly pushed dogbone it really sharpens things up.

update: the silver 182 went on the dyno today and it pulled out 6 bhp more vs the old Green intake setup: The blue car also received the same intake couple of days ago. Now we're gonna repeat the road test to see if I also gained over my old (BMC CDA) setup and then probably another dyno run...

just make your own k-tec style induction, it will gain you something over your current setup (I tested that with a friend)

the green filter looked dirty but it was actually recently cleaned and oiled the proper way. I guess that after a while they loose their fresh look

After years of reading various opinions on wether an IK is worth doing I finally got the chance of testing 2 setups on 2 cars specs of the above car: november 2004 clio 182 engine was changed one year ago with a new one and the current unit has abou 6k std suspension custom 63mm cat back...

looking forward to hear the result!

hey where are the pics in post #1? :( made me curious about the setup!

I really don't understand why the std setup is said to deliver the best output. Ok if compared to a cheap open cone setup behind the rad it' obvious that the std setup is getting colder air into the engine. But take the K-tec setup for example. It has a good quality foam filter positioned in the...

I written those as I found them around here. So 275 lbs/in is about 5kg/mm-front 250 lbs/in is approx 4,5kg/mm-rear as for the renault quotes: 3,19 daNM/mm is about 3,25kg/mm-front 5,65 daNM/mm is about 5,7kg/mm-rear So this is where thigs go blurry, cup rear springs being WAY stiffer that Gaz...

I understand how the suspension works, but what I don't is why Gaz for example gave their spring rates in one manner and renault in a different manner. I was curious how stiffer are the gaz springs compared to std cup springs and can't tell from what I've found so far As I said, GAZ springs are...

can't find the damn thing! I'm set up to solve this mistery once and for all ha ha! will take measurements on my car and then hopefully some others will and clear this up. over 10 years of "cup history" and there's still a lot of debate on this

I remember renault said something about the track width on 182 cup suspension, if the hubs are the same and the wheels are still ET45 (on a 182 cup or cup pack) then the cup 182 suspension has the same track as a normal 182?

so it gains track width from the subframe, and also from the wheels which are ET 38. The hubs from a 182 cup have about the same width so doing the math the 172 has the wider track. I'm a bit surprised as to why renault would make the newer 182 narrower?!

independent shock and spring, like standard

so the 172 cup has a wider subframe, that means that the front track is wider than a 182 cup?

bump on this I found this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?440438-Spring-Rates-Standard-vs-Aftermarket/page2&highlight=cup+spring+rate and based on it the rears should be way stiffer than the fronts because of the rear beam construction. The gaz ones are 275 lbs/in front and...

He has a 182 full fat (so both cup packs), or you are talking about the 172 cup subframe which is supposed to be wider than a 182 cup subframe?

if you're about to do the belts and dephaser than yes, do it.

sweet engine bay that is^

i'd just make myself a DYI catch tank instead

I have a whole thread about the ride height and the GAZ GHA suspension (the cheaper 500 quid version) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?603059-What-s-your-ride-height-GAZ-GHA-owners&highlight=gaz+gha+ride+height Short story told, they won't go a real 60 mm drop unless you remain with...

sideways danny to be more specific

lol you won't die alone cause I'm ok with my gaz also To the op- I would definitely have a decent set of coilies on a supercharged clio! Just get some adjustable ones, there are many options out there. Btw the gaz I have on the softer setting only feel just a little harder than std. I'd try a...

just don't throw away the 205/45 ones cause that's the standard size! (if you didn't know that already)

+1 for the hankooks- good tyre for a good price

don't worry about the rsr split, it will wear off - that's what most experienced, I'm very pleased with the grip level they give 205/50 r 16 is too big, if the car's lowered wheel rubbing will occur

well now it's ferodo's turn to get bashed.. I'm inclined to believe that there are some bad batches out there, they still have a good reputation. mine are fine btw (no track days so far just the occasional spirited drive through the mountains)
